Is there a way to manually change GNSS Networks (Galileo, GLONASS, Navstar, BeiDou) on android? Or at least deactivate a specific one? Maybe with root access?

I briefly checked that the other day and it doesn't seem to be the case. To my knowledge, the GNSS hardware will gather info on all available (supported + reachable) constellations to give the best location estimate.

There are ways to get raw measurements in some devices, but that'd be at the application level so I think it's not what you're looking for.

I don’t know the answer to your question but I’m curious about your use case.

I travel a lot, and noticed weird inconsistencies in some regions, and I wanted to try to deactivate every singe GNSS except the "Locally Preferred" (Galileo in Europe, GloNas in Russia etc.). So basically just debugging.
