Hello Maor,

Android devices always require GPS satellite in order to get location and there is nothing we can do to alter this on our end. Starting manually the GPS on the device and making sure it has satellite visibility and it has locked to satellites should result in success.

Hello Maor,

Geolocation is one of the built-in core APIs of Cordova, so if it does not function per expectations, it is highly unlikely there is (will be) a custom Cordova plugin that does things better. If you manage to find such, please share it with the community.
