[LoongFei]

ReactNative: 0.57.8
react: 16.6.3
@react-native-community/geolocation: 1.4.2
I have configured location permissions：'ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION' in AndroidManifest.xml,
but GPS doesn't work in some android systems：Location request timed out

PERMISSION_DENIED: 1
POSITION_UNAVAILABLE: 2
TIMEOUT: 3
code: 3
message: "Location request timed out"

Try the following steps: (Taken from here)

Turn phone off/on
Turn GPS off/on
Disable any battery saver settings, including Power Saving Mode, Battery Management or any third party apps
Perform an "AGPS reset": Install the App GPS Status & Toolbox, then in that app, go to Menu > Tools > Manage A-GPS State > Reset

From Android 8.0 don't send location in background, alone send a few time per hour, https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/background-location-limits?hl=es-419

There are other way, for example how a reproducer music, That app this in foreground in the notification bar.

Same problem here. Any solution ? keeps giving me timeout

Okay, after googling i found THIS on other repository a possible solution.
It works by setting enableHighAccuracy: false. There might be an issue on android for high accuracy locations. Thank God i don't need super accuracy otherwise i would be raging lol. Hope it works for anyone who sees this. I hope there's an upcoming fix for Android.

It worked for me. Thanks. It would be really nice for this lib to also work with high accuracy. I hope enableHighAccuracy: false is enough for my needs.

@Tiagoperes glad it worked for you too man... i was frustrated about it as well.

[oswaldjaroslav]

Ok. So it worked with enableHighAccuracy: false, but this is unacceptable. This means, that location will be taken from WiFi and not GPS. So the phone needs to have wify enabled. Sorry but this is not solution at all. Even if I really dont neeed highAccuracy.

[osvald0]

I have the same issue! Have you any update?

[msqar]

@osvald0 update to latest version, it's already fixed.

Hi guys! Any solution?

[klosowsk]

Same here!

[yasir-netlinks]

Hi everyone , any solution on this guys!!

[HugoLiconV]

Hey everyone! I just found a solution, I replaced this library for react-native-geolocation-service and it solved the problem, the API is the same so the change it's easy. I tested this with a couple of devices and everything seems working fine.
