Thanks for this @nicolas-raoul , I am on it.

I tested it again, it puts me to my current location correctly. Can you share some logs for this @nicolas-raoul , or any details you think might be related?

Hi @nicolas-raoul , I am going through your logs but all the locations seems correct, they are in Japan.

Would it be possible for you to share your logs after fresh install, just after experiencing the issue, without playing with the app too much?

I finally managed to reproduce this with a clean install (previously it did not happen to me). Logs sent.

(It might be helpful to figure out why BOTH of us are defaulting to Punta Arenas when this happens - is there something special about those coords?)

I created a new Wikimedia account, and noticed that the new account works fine, I am shown my correct location.

With my normal account, location is always Punta Arenas (more exactly: inside a bay near Punta Arenas), even when using a different phone.

@nicolas-raoul Do you have 2FA enabled for your normal account? It sounds a bit strange that it could affect GPS location, but I was just wondering, since it was my 2FA account that has the problem (and my other acc doesn't).

@misaochan No 2FA on any of my accounts
It might sound strange indeed, but this bug is so strange that any idea is worth investigating :-)

Hmm, I did a clean install with the non-2FA account that did not have problems previously, and I still have this issue. Probably not related to accounts, then.

Seems solved!
