I’m connected to the Thuraya network but “Location update…” is flashing in the widget along with the satellite signal icon in the status bar. What does this mean?

March 12, 2019 /Posted byAcacia Satlink Limited / 0

If the satellite signal icon and “Location update…” are flashing on your home screen, it indicates that the device has not yet received the required location information from the satellites. To rectify this, please move to a place with an unobstructed view of the sky that will allow the Thuraya X5-Touch to receive its location information.
