If GPS signal is not available, a Location Get block tries to get a fix for approx. 2 minutes, then stops (the GPS icon turns off) and the whole flow stays stuck, even if the signal reappears later. Does it have any built-in timeout in this case? Other location providers are not suitable in my case, only pure GPS.

I could have this problem too while you wait if devs can fix it, try to start Location block from other flow so:

- Run flow 2 to get location by flow 1
- If flow 2 hang flow 1 restart it

Do the flow remain stuck even if you go outside where a GPS fix can be acquired?

Try toggling the Google Play service option in settings.

What if another app. or a flow with a Location pick block, acquires a GPS fix?

Android version?

Device brand & model?

Nothing changes, the block remains stuck (even if another block has successfully acquired the fix). Android 14, Samsung A52.
