Re: [Bug 1368647] Re: GPS and location detection not working on Nexus 4

 

Hi,

I'm running mako with Ubuntu 15.04 20150727 (r22). Same issue with similar
Warning/Error messages in the location-service log files.

I think it used to work in the past with earlier development images (a year
ago or so...)

Is there a known issue without known solution, or just waiting to be
investigated?

Thanks!
Felipe.

Title:
  GPS and location detection not working on Nexus 4

Status in location-service package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Mako with MultiROM, utopic r239

  None of the apps I have tried including Weather, Google maps, OSM
  Touch and SensorStatus are able to use the phone's GPS. The
  SensorStatus app actually reports "Found supported backend", but finds
  no position or other GPS data.

  Location detection on the other hand is doing something, but it is
  really far off when it comes to determining the actual location of the
  device. The Weather app suggests my location as Vänsjö, Jämtland,
  which is about 400 km north of Stockholm where I am at. OSM Touch
  reports "no location available" and Google maps "Your location could
  not be determined"

  I don't know if the GPS has to "waken up" somehow, but it has not
  shown any form of life for me on Ubuntu Touch, even though it works
  perfectly fine when booting the phone as Android.
