Description

Affected app
Name: ...all apps with location priviliges
Package id: N/A

Describe the bug
Problem is quite simple.. i eiter get 100% of location or non. So the options are:
WHEN the location is ON:

  1. I get both GPS signal and WiFi + GSM
    WHEN it is on:
  2. No location at all

...and although i like those two options i would also like to choose between:

  1. Only GPS
  2. WiFi + GSM (in backgound) - most important part of that issue.

Expected behavior
4 options (or more):

  • NO location (works when icon tapped off)
  • 100% location (GPS + WiFi + GSM - works when icon = ON )
  • Only GPS (how?!?)
  • Only WiFi + GSM (how? ...or even seperate)

Screenshots
N/A

System
Android Version: [10]
Custom ROM: [LineageOS 17.1 100% up-to-date]

microG
microG Core version: [e.g. 0.2.15.]
microG Self-Check results: [All ticked - no (major) problems with notification etc.]

So... I don't know if I'm a noob, or is there something (i instaled all Location services [Deja Vu, GSM Backend by n76 etc.]) I have to change

Thanks in advance :)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the location behavior on Android 10 with LineageOS 17.1 and microG Core 0.2.15, using the reported Deja Vu and GSM Backend by n76 services. The issue is done when the supported location modes are established and the requested GPS-only and WiFi/GSM-only behavior is either implemented or clearly determined to be outside scope.
