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

 

I have switched to rtm r1 single-boot and got location working in
OSMTouch, Google maps and a weather site on the web. The accuracy
indicated that the GPS was involved. But after a reboot, the location no
longer works for me. Will see if it gets going again if I wait. It sure
feels strange though, that it should suddenly stop working after a
reboot.

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.
