  @Tungsten_smooth said in Is 'Trying to find location' a battery draining feature?: @THenrich Turn on location and step outside under a clear sky--that's the ONLY way you'll get GPS to work. Alternatively, turn on the high accuracy mode and let it use your internet connection via Wi-Fi to get your location, much faster. Then turn it off. No that's not the only way gps works. GPS can work indoors depending on the building type and your location in it. Other apps like Yelp and Foursquare work just fine for me when I am indoors and they find my location when GPS is on. A GPS test app is showing several satellites so why on earth is Flux having a hard time to lock my location? All these apps talk to the same GPS API unless Flux wants like at least 20 satellites to lock on! Also it gets a reading when I am outdoors and when I go inside it's back to 'Trying to find location..'. Remembering my location few seconds ago is not good enough!? The fact that it doesn't even ask the user to turn on the GPS tells me its GPS feature is not fully baked. Let me enter my location manually and be happy. The Flux app doesn't need to know my EXACT location to work properly. A city name is good enough. A zip code is enough. Heck a whole state can be good enough. The app is about colors. I am a software developer and if I worked on this app and I can't get location by GPS then I would default to other means like go active and ask the user how many hours should the app be active. Do you want this to be the default from now when I can't get your location. Yes Please. I"ll save these settings. OK we're done. These apps don't need to be over engineered and inflexible. Yeah I am ranting. I use Flux in Windows and Android and they are obsessive about device location for it to work when there are users who sleep during the day and read at night and users who just want warm whites all the time and there's no way to do this other than daily settings. The UI and options are pretty different on the two versions as if they are two developers or teams who do not talk to each other.

  No replies. Please give users more control and options on when F.lux is active. Please stop making f.lux so extremely tied to location! This goes also for the Windows version.

  @herf I have a rooted Fairphone 1 with a PowerVR SGX544 286 MHz GPU running Android Kitkat 4.4.2 (soon 4.4.4). Could you look into it and try to make f.lux available for that GPU? I'm open to testing beta versions on my phone, as well as sending you log output.

  @THenrich It is for the bedtime mode. The sunset mode is what f.lux uses to warm up the colors and get you more relaxed. The (not so new) bedtime mode gets more red almost to really get rid of blue, and this is when f.lux thinks you should start going to sleep. Here is the user guide for mac: https://justgetflux.com/news/pages/macquickstart/ I'd assume (but it may not) that the page opens when you install, otherwise I had to search the web to find it.

  Since I found this topic on Google and thought there was no solution: I got the qualcomm drivers working on MM (sony z3c) by enabling "force gpu rendering" in developer options, then toggling darkroom mode. Hope this helps!

  @100watts Cool username! Oh the nonrooted version of f.lux will be when Android or Google allows this type of change without root. Until then, and it could a couple years, you'll just have to root. Maybe that Apple has a poor copy of f.lux, that will push Google to do a better job and let f.lux in.

  @DreamFragments said: I had this issue, and I resolved it by clearing data and force stopping the app. Only had the issue once, but was able to get a location set again after starting the app again. Also, you need to make sure your device allows for the location requirements of the app. High accuracy is what works for me. "High accuracy" location setting will drain the battery. Please add an option to set the location manually. Thank you

  @FeNatanael Whenever f.lux team can work with Google directly, which in my mind is extremely difficult because I'm not aware of a feedback or contact forum for android at all, so until that happens, well, you'll have to wait.
