Is anyone here using a (non-Android) linux Smartphone? Curious what type of phones y’all are using and what your experience has been.

    How’s your experience been with the GPS? I have been using sailfish on a Sony phone and loved it but getting a GPS lock just took forever for me.

      Oh yeah, I also daily drive a Sony with Sailfish (Xperia XA2) and the GPS is very unreliable to get a lock. It’s very rare that it works sadly. Other than that the phone works very well.

        Yeah that kinda became a dealbreaker for me. I really wish that was better cause it’s the only thing I feel holding it back as an android alternative. Its got the apps (thru android emulation), the control and freedom to brick it as you want. Just needs the GPS sorted and its great! (Yes things could be better but I can forgive those issues)

        Have you done anything to get that? I have not been able to get decent GPS unless I planned 20 mins in advance
