[Bug 1368647] Re: GPS and location detection not working on Nexus 4

 

After further investigation I have now upgraded the radio firmware to 
radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.84
as I had previously downgraded and upgraded this before when using older versions of Ubuntu Touch.

I don't think that made any difference.

I stoped and restarted the ubuntu-location-service

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo service ubuntu-location-service status
ubuntu-location-service start/running, process 917
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo service ubuntu-location-service stop
ubuntu-location-service stop/waiting
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo service ubuntu-location-service start
ubuntu-location-service start/running, process 5847

When running OSM Touch and SensorsStatus after the restart both apps
asked for permision to access my location and location detection started
to work again.

However looking in the logs I found the following warning:-
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cat /var/log/ubuntu-location-service/com.ubuntu.location.WARNING

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.
