[Bug 1462664] Re: [Ubuntu Phone] WIFI = ON is killing GPS signal

 

** Summary changed:

- Geolocation app is freezing in a few mobiles
+ [Ubuntu Phone] WIFI = ON is killing GPS signal

** Summary changed:

- [Ubuntu Phone] WIFI = ON is killing GPS signal
+ [Ubuntu Phone] With WIFI = ON the GPS stops

** Description changed:

  Hi!
  
- With the app GPS Navigation a few users have problem with a freeze
- issue, because of 100% CPU usage or heavy swap usage (I don't know,
- because I can't reproduce it.
+ Steps: 
+ 1. Enable WIFI = ON on phone.
+ 2. Run one of these apps: GPS Navigation, HERE maps, Sensor Status.
+ 3. Drive.
+ 4. When you'll be into a WIFI area as a town or city, I'm thinking the WIFI will try to search WIFIs and then the GPS will stop, the GPS apps will not receive more new positions from the GPS.
  
- For some users, it is working perfect, for other is freezing after a few minutes. You can see here the user reviews:
- https://uappexplorer.com/app/navigator.costales
+ Extra info1: If you had GPS Navigation & Sensor running, both of them
+ will not receive new GPS positions from the device. If you restart for
+ example GPS Navigation, GPS Navigation will receive new positions, but
+ Sensor Status not, until you restart it too.
  
- The code is here:
- http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~costales/unav/trunk/view/head:/www/js/geolocation.js
- It's just a simple HTML5 geolocation code. Even I added a reject control for more that 1 request by 800 microseconds.
- 
- I think it could be the GPS doing a lot of request by second or the web
- container is freezing waiting for GPS.
+ Extra info2: When the GPS stops the icon in the status disappears, but
+ it you kill and relaunch the app, the icon will appear again.
  
  Thanks in advance!
