Android P Issues

Post by steelersmb » 23 May 2018 20:52

I am beta testing the new Android P on my Pixel 2 XL and wanted to let you know there are several things that I have found that don't seem to be working:

1. Wifi on/off Triggers
2. Cell Towers - Won't get a list of towers
3. Locations - Put me somewhere in Paris when I am in Atlanta.

There are just a few of the issues I have found so far.

Hi,

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Please also report any other issues you find on Android P so I don't miss anything and can fix/workaround the new limitations once I've started to work on Android P support.

Please make sure that the location permission is granted to Automagic and that the location mode of the device is set to High accuracy. Maybe also try to switch the method in the location trigger to Modern since it usually works better on newer devices.
I'll soon start to test on Android P too but it's likely that Google introduced even more restrictions for apps to get location information and maybe even SSIDs of WiFi. Maybe some of the problems are also caused by bugs of Android P itself.

Regards,
Martin
