Hi!
GPS on the droid 4 does not really work out of the box.
gpsd is not in default installation, maybe it should be?
What is worse, there's something broken with gpsd. Try:
/usr/sbin/gpsd -N -D 5 /dev/gnss0
gpspipe -w
# this seems to work, but do ^C and restart
gpspipe -w
...and it hangs.
xgps from gpsd-clients is broken: probably missing dependency
on gtk3 libraries.
user@devuan-droid4:/my/tui/lib$ xgps
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/xgps", line 30, in <module>
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line
129, in require_version
raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace Gtk not available
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Pavel

Some earlier versions of gpsd I think had issues where you could
only connect one client. Or it was a bug in the kernel drivers..
Anyways, multiple gpspipe instances have been working for me for
a while now with gpsd-3.21.
I also found some issues in gnss-motmdm driver for closing the
gnss device, see:
https://github.com/tmlind/linux/commits/droid4-pending-v5.8
And I think the xtra2.bin data for agps is now working too :)
https://github.com/tmlind/droid4-agps/commits/master
At least I now get a fix in about two minutes after running the
update.sh, going outside, and starting cgps.

No idea about the xgps related stuff, I mostly use cgps for
testing with GPSD_UNITS=metric cgps.

Ok, let me play. But you should be getting fix in two minutes
_without_ AGPS support, if GPS is any good...
Best regards,
Pavel
