I noticed this a few weeks ago and it has not been rectified.

I have asked the osmtouch developers if they know about it

Digging into it today I found the following after running OSM Touch and touching the location detection arrow :-

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:/$ cat /var/log/ubuntu-location-service/com.ubuntu.location.WARNING
Log file created at: 2014/09/11 15:24:31

E0912 08:52:39.514560 2419 skeleton.cpp:177] Error creating session: Client lacks permissions to access the service with the given criteria

So it seems like a permissions issue?

Also, going back to the start of the warnings:-

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:/$ cat /var/log/ubuntu-location-service/com.ubuntu.location.ubuntu-phablet.invalid-user.log.WARNING.20140809-134227.916

All warnings are the same as above until:-

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:/$ cat /var/log/ubuntu-location-service/com.ubuntu.location.ubuntu-phablet.invalid-user.log.WARNING.20140822-100144.924

E0822 10:01:44.903519 1942 skeleton.cpp:177] Error creating session: Client lacks permissions to access the service with the given criteria

Then:-

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:/$ cat /var/log/ubuntu-location-service/com.ubuntu.location.ubuntu-phablet.invalid-user.log.WARNING.20140827-070346.912

Then the rest are the permissions errors with one more of the "Error
wile setting up access" errors.

And for reference:-
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:/$ system-image-cli -i

last update: 2014-08-22 07:57:57 corresponds to the start of the
permissions errors.

Also, thinking back, location detection was definitely working on 1st of
July which was prior to me upgrading to utopic.

Title:
  GPS and location detection not working on Nexus 4

Status in “location-service” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Mako with MultiROM, utopic r239

  None of the apps I have tried including Weather, Google maps, OSM
  Touch and SensorStatus are able to use the phone's 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.
