AE vs E flags: differences between devices (Pixel 7 vs 9 pro)

[songino]

Hi!

Playing around with the app I noticed that while the satellite list of a Pixel 7 shows the almanac flag in almost all of them (AE and AEU), the newer Pixel 9 Pro list them all with the E flag only (E and EU). 

Could this difference be explained by the different gps chipset, so that in a way the latter cannot see the configuration properly? Or it's something that is yet to be cached in the device (being the 9 pro active for less than a week)? 

My understanding is that the almanac flag is related to the satellite configuration itself, hence my doubt. I tried already to reset the assisted data configuration, but as expected the flags weren't impacted.

Also: even if I assume the scan is made primarily via Sky search, being able to get the almanac from the first satellites might actually speed the other satellites discovery process? In general I'm seeing a faster and more accurate lock on the 7 rather than the 9 pro, and just trying to figure out why.

Sorry in advance for any imprecision or lack of understanding :)

Hey songino,
This sounds like a bug to me - Pixel 9 Pro status should also have the almanac flag set.

Could you please open an issue here and include screenshots?

Thanks,
