Description
Hi!! :smiley:
I've installed Networklocation.apk and IchnaeaNlpBackend in my Meizu MX3 as you explain in the main Readme doc. But I'm not sure if it works correctly, let me explain, I hope you will understand me because English it's not my language. Apologizes…
First of all, before installing the apk and the backend I was sure that the phone couldn't locate me by wifi/3G. Then installed Networklocation.apk plus IchnaeaNlpBackend and started the testings. What I did:
1.- In my office the phone located me correctly by wifi. Then, I turned off wifi and turned on the 3G connection. I'd checked the position and I was still in the same place.
2.- After, when I arrived at home I connected the phone to my wifi, I live in another city 20 kms far from my work. I refreshed some apps which use the location service and still appeared to be in work.
3.- Then I installed AppleWifiNlpBackend, checked again and then the apps showed me the correct location, at home.
4.- Then, I selected the IchnaeaNlpBackend again, I turned off wifi and turned on data. The location still was on my work, 20 kms far from home.
5.- After, I did the reverse process, turned off data and turned on wifi. IchnaeaNlpBackend located me at the right place.
And now, I really have no idea if it works or not, I'm a non-technical user so I'm really lost… When the backend connects to Mozilla servers? Every determined period of time?
Thank you very much and kind regards!! :smile:

Research direction
Start with the main Readme and the installation of Networklocation.apk, IchnaeaNlpBackend, and AppleWifiNlpBackend. Reproduce the reported Wi-Fi/3G switching sequence and determine when IchnaeaNlpBackend contacts Mozilla servers; done means establishing whether the delayed location is expected or identifying a reproducible backend problem.
