[Bug 1368367] [NEW] GPS and location detection not working on Nexus 4

 

Public bug reported:

Mako with MultiROM, utopic r237

None of the apps I have tried including Weather, Google maps, OSM Touch
and SensorStatus are able to use the phones GPS. The SensorStatus app
actually reports "Found supported backend", but finds no position or
other GPS data.

Location detection on the other hand is doing something, but it is
really far off when it comes to determining the actual location of the
device. The Weather app suggests my location as Vänsjö, Jämtland, which
is about 400 km north of Stockholm where I am at. OSM Touch reports "no
location available" and Google maps "Your location could not be
determined"

I don't know if the GPS has to "waken up" somehow, but it has not shown
any form of life for me on Ubuntu Touch, even though it works perfectly
fine when booting the phone as Android.
