The data displayed on this page includes the last known location of your Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 devices, and GPS-based location data from Bing and Microsoft Health. To view and clear the location activity associated with your Microsoft account, go to your privacy dashboard home page and look for Location activity under Manage your activity data. We had issues with a previous device which was wifi-only as well.How do I view and clear my location activity? And our users are not likely to turn on the battery saver. Our devices crash if Data Saver gets turned on. I believe there is a fundamental problem with something in the GPS collection process in Android.įurthermore, we are usually able to get real-time GPS from other apps during times that WS1/AirWatch is not reporting. Regardless, something is dropping the ball, because I believe I should be seeing GPS within the last couple hours on 80% of my devices during the day. Honestly, I believe the timer to request GPS is either not going off, or it is failing silently and not retrying.

The others are sporadic.Īll of our devices have WiFi and cellular data with roaming, so connectivity should not be an issue. At least 1/3 are reporting nothing in the past month. I did check and just over 1/3 of 50 devices are reporting close to expected. We updated a group of 100+ units to report pretty much as often as possible (5 minutes reporting every 1 or 4 hours), and I still have devices with stale locations (multiple days old) or no locations during the month in that group. Location is rarely up to date (meaning multiple checkin points have passed since the last GPS reading, and the device is definitely on and in use). There are a LOT that are at the 0-1 points level. The majority seem to give me between 0 and 8 points per month.

The majority are set to collect location every few hours and report multiple times per day. I have never (never) gotten location to work reliably. People have complained on the forums and via tickets for years, and nothing has happened. Can I just say the location collection in AirWatch is garbage and barely useful for Android? I cannot speak for iOS.
