[Bug 1492783] Re: GPS does not work on my Bq E5

 

A few things to note:
[1.] SensorStatus app is not able to determine whether a location was obtained by the GPS or by a network-based positioning method.
[2.] The missing espoo.log indicates that the Nokia Here provider carrying out network-based positioning is not installed/activated.
[3.] The following lines in the ERROR log:

  E0904 10:17:10.653188  3704
android_hardware_abstraction_layer.cpp:157] Error downloading GPS Xtra
data: Timeout was reached: Operation timed out after 1499 milliseconds
with 84941 out of 276480 bytes received

Indicate an issue with the current data connection. The gps chipset
driver is trying to download an assistance file for speeding up GPS-
based fixes. It fails to do so and with that, the chipset falls back to
a cold-start scenario, with the gps querying ephimeris and almanac
information from satellites. The respective download can take a long
time (usually ~20 minutes) but depends on satellite visibility and on
the phone not being suspended obviously.

Could you please paste the output of "ps -ef  | grep location" to
complete the debug information?

Title:
  GPS does not work on my Bq E5

Status in location-service package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a Bq E5 (not an E4.5) and the GPS does not seem to work. The
  SensorsStatus app shows GPS as returning no results for location
  (every reading ("Latitude", "Longitude", etc) is shown as a dash,
  except "Method" which is "Satellite" and "Speed" which is "nan") . I
  have attached various logfiles in the hope that they will help. I have
  tried turning off location detection and GPS and turning them back on
  again, to no avail. I have also tried turning off wifi, to no avail.
