Disable GPS location

[NicolasRoger]

Hi,

My users have reported that the Survey123 app keep showing the following error message when they try to complete a survey with no GPS signal on their Android devices:

Basicly, what it says in english is : "No position received"

The actual position of the user is not important for our Survey (The user select a location ID). So is there anyway to prevent Survey123 from trying to find the device position?

Will autopopulating the geometry field keep the app from searching for a location?

Thank you for your help.

EDIT: I can confirm the same behavior appear on Survey123 version 3.1.113 on Windows 7. The message appear everywhere in the app. I now see that I can disable it in the App parameters.

Still, is there anyway to disable it completly? I would prefer not to collect personal information about the location of my users when they send me data.

Same here, I need to disable gps position for office workers. They must use the map to pinpoint the exact location and forbid the use of their actual location (to avoid mistakes).

I suggest you add a geopoint question to your survey and set the default column to null.  If you do not want to display a map in your survey, also set the appearance to hidden. I hope that helps.

Unfortunately, I still need them to see the map to pin the needed location. I just don't want them to be able to use their actual location (GPS option) by mistake.

I face the same problem as @Anne-MarieDubois . I do not want to collect any current location through the survey instead I have build my survey to retrieve static location from a linked .csv file using pulldata() function. The static is to be shown on the web map. Even when I disable the survey 123 field app to use location or disable the Alerts from the app, I still get 'Location inaccessible' pop-up which is annoying. 

was anyone able to get any update on this?
