  • GPS location not working with Life360 on Kyocera DuraXV Extreme

On the dumb phone, try leaving the app running in the foreground then check to see if its updating on the manager/site. Could be its closing itself out on exit.

You can also make sure to give the app the proper permissions via adb. The ones showing on mine are location, network & sensors.

      App running in foreground does not help with the device appearing unfortunately. There is no change. I checked to see what permissions were granted to the client and this is what it spat out. I don't see anything missing do you? This is still new to me.

        Just realized that background permission doesn't appear on the list. Now to figure out how to grant that permission....
        When I try to enter "./adb shell pm grant org.traccar.client android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION" it says the permission is not recognized even though it appears on the list of requested permissions in the above list I posted.

          Mowza please give the exact output of the adb command. And this is an unmodified APK?

              Here is the exact output. The APK is unmodified as far as I know. I know I did not modify anything, at least I don't think I did.

                  Mowza I wonder if that permission was only introduced on newer android versions? it seems like the permission isnt even existing on the phone

                      Biden2020prez

                      If it is not a permission that is present I am at a complete loss as to why my device continues to show as offline. According to the status in my devices client it says I am online. I can't imagine its supposed to be this hard to get it to work.

                          Mowza I honedtly dont know much about life360. Is location services turned on and other apps detect your location?

                              Mowza

                              It does indeed sound like some type of permissions issue. Esp if you've ran it in the foreground (w the screen still on & updating every 30 seconds) & it still doesn't show online. Maybe try running an older apk to see what happens?

                              Also, I'd start experimenting. What happens when you try Zood Location on the tracked device?

                                  Biden2020prez

                                  Waze seems to work just fine. I have not tried anything else yet besides Life360 , Waze and Traccar.
