[Bug 1462664] Re: [Ubuntu Phone] With WIFI = ON the GPS stops

 

I have done a these tests:

   * Data OFF, Wifi OFF: It works perfectly without updating the map
                                           nor the route.

   * Data ON, Wifi OFF: It works perfectly updating the map and route
                                          if you have coverage.

   * Data ON, Wifi ON: It works well until you reach a zone with many wifi
                                        networks when the car freezes. The map
                                        and route update until it fails.

   * Data OFF, Wifi ON: It works well until you reach a zone with many wifi
                                         networks when the car freezes. The map
                                         and route don't update.

In conclusion:
      With wifi ON it fails sometimes and with wifi OFF it works always,
      and it doesn't depend on if data is ON or OFF.

I think GPS in Ubuntu Touch fails when it has to manage many wifi
networks, not a few.

Bug description:
  Hi!

  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.

  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.

  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!
