Public bug reported:

Whenever I try to locate myself, the app/scope/whatever I am using does
not manage to locate me even if location detection and GPS are on. The
only way I manage to locate myself is through being connected to a
wireless network.

I have tried using different apps and scopes that all use location data
and none of them receive any GPS information unless I am on a wireless
network.

I never turn GPS off and I live in central London so there is no way it
cannot find a GPS fix (I also have spend a lot of time outside and still
no luck). I am using the OSMTouch app and it spends 20 seconds trying to
locate me and comes back with Geolocation failed.

This is using a Nexus 4. I have tried the current stable and devel-
proposed channels.

I asked on IRC this morning to find other people having issues with
Nexus 4 GPS including one person who said: 'on the N4 i actually have to
leave the device outside on the window shelf for 20-30 min to get GPS at
all.'

Is this a known issue with the Nexus 4? Is there a fix for this? Can
anybody help fix this?
