Why geolocation.getCurrentPosition hangs on some devices?

Hi,
I have an Ionic 4 app that uses Geolocation.
On same Android devices (for example One Plus One with Android9) when I call the geolocation.getCurrentPosition() the device asks for the permission to use Geolocation, but when I click on “confirm” it seems that the plugin hangs.
Launching the app in debug mode on the device I can see that, with the following code, on the Chrome console only the first log “Print1”.

	console.log('Print1')
	
    const result = await this.geolocation.getCurrentPosition()
      .then((resp) => {
        console.log('@@@1 Print2', resp);
		.....
    }, (err) => {
      console.log('@@@ Err Print3');
	  ....
	}
	console.log('Print4')

The app doesn’t print the log “Print2” or the log “Prin3” or the log “Print4”.
On the device settings, I can see that the geolocation permission for the app is active.
I can’t see other errors on the Chrome console.

So what could be the problem?
