No GPS position with 4.4.3 on Corsa-e Edition

I can not use ABRP because it doesn't get GPS movements. My car is placed always at my home in ABRP Android Auto. My car does not have embedded navigation. Old versions had a setting to get GPS from the mobile and that worked very well. I use Tronity for live data

Sorry for not updating this earlier. I've been on holidays and on remote work, so I could not test fully again until last week.
I do not know if what Cornelius Berger says is right. Still with 4.4.3 one day it started again updating position while driving: maybe Tronity was not working so I got GPS updates; maybe you found something in ABRP servers and you fixed it or maybe some ABRP or GPS process did get stuck in my mobile (I remember rebooting my mobile the day before it worked again)
But this last week and a half I have driven about 1500 kms mostly on long trips (that is when I need ABRP most) and ABRP has behaved in a brilliant way (in fact better than ever). Version I have now is 4.4.6

Same problem here. Seems to occur when live data is enabled. Disabling live data seems to "fix" it.

Hello... high precision/accuracy is always enabled in my mobile. Besides no other navigation software complains about this.

The GPS position in ABRP while being on Android Auto is stuck at my home, that is the position it is set for the car in Opel APP. If I disconnect my mobile from the car, then it gets the current position as far as I am not moving/driving

So there are no position updates while driving even if the phone is not connected?

Yes, I tried to navigate without Android Auto and also did not work. But it was difficult for me to identify if it was GPS or if it was stuck in Companion mode or even both (I tried 5-6 times). Lots of "waiting circle" also "calculating" route (no other APP had that problem and 4G/5G mobile Internet was working fine).

When on previous beta versions ABRP was stuck with Android Auto or could not delete its notifications I made "Force Stop". This time I also tried this, but did not help at all

Hi, I just checked your logs (thanks for providing :)) and saw that we actually get GPS updates but they have a really bad accuracy so we skip most of them.
Could you please make sure "high accuracy" mode is enabled in Android settings and give it another try?

Sorry, posting deleted.
I’ve overlooked that you use Tronity for Livedata.
