Hello,

I have noticed that the 'signals' info of the command 'mmcli -m 0 --location-status' does not change!
It always show 'no'.

Signals is the indication if DBus signal updates are enabled or not.
They are disabled by default because it is a security risk: everyone can listen to these DBus signals, so it might leak your GPS position to applications who are not authorized to retrieve this information.

```
root@G3000-L ~ # mmcli -m Modem1 --location-status

I have enabled GPS and get the following output:
```
mmcli -m Modem1 --location-get

       |       operator mnc: 01

       |           latitude: 40.586625
       |           altitude: 384.000000
```

I could also not found any information when this info 'signals' should change from 'no' to 'yes'!
Does this mean that a GPS fix was done?

You can enable it with `mmcli -m any --location-set-enable-signal`.
