This does appear to work for me, but after soem experimentation with
another Nexus 4 user, it seems that it's very weak... the phone fails to
get a GPS lock when in a case, but can when it's not in the case... I
don't know how much of the GPS system is implemented in Software vs how
much is in hardware... I'm told the GPS on the Nexus 4 is good under
Android although I have not tested this...

Title:
  Ubuntu Nexus 4 does not detect location

Status in location-service package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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?
