Can't get location from gps only on one of my phones

[coo1guy]

I have two Android phones (Pixel 4XL running Android 13 and Nexus 6P running Android 8.1.0)
On the Pixel, I have no problem using apps such as Google Maps or OSM with just the gps and airplane mode on, but on the Nexus, I can't get that to work, even though I selected gps only in the location settings and even individually allowed these apps to use the location.
Is it impossible with this device or Android version?

Thanks

The Nexus 6P is a 9 year old device. Unfortunately, it is most likely beyond usability at this point.
