    Hi Support team,

     

    Our company use Janam XT1 which is android version 4.2.2.

    The location access was enabled and GPS satellites also was enabled. However, ProntoForm kept failure of GPS stamp.

    Please advise how the device show GPS location on the device and the report.

     

    Thank you,

    I am currently experiencing the same problem using the android version of the app.  The android version will not grab GPS only coordinates when I am in the field and away from a network connection.  This does not seem to be a problem however when I run the app on an iOS device.  Is there a bug in the android app that prevents GPS stamping when not connected to a network?
