[Bug 1375896] [NEW] location not working reliably in browser or webapps

 

Public bug reported:

krillin build 72
- I have not wiped my phone in quite a while but instead have been doing OTA updates
- I manually re-ran the setup wizard to ensure the HERE location stuff was enabled, which it is
- reboot the phone

I launch Google Maps webapp and it tells me "Your location could not be
determined". I try this repeatedly over the course of many minutes with
the same results.

I do the same with HERE maps webapp and I get the same message.

I run OSMtouch app and it is able to locate me. I do get a popup saying
"No GPS available. Position is approximate" but the location on the map
is roughly accurate.
