Same here. I had the "Using GPS only" since I bought the phone and GPS
never worked. Days/weeks of uptime should be enough to get a GPS lock,
right?

Now I enabled the GPS/Wifi/mobile-network ("HERE"), rebooted, and like
you said, within 30 seconds, the SensorsStatus tool started reporting
GPS info. Yay.

Running latest 15.04 r24 atm (updated 7 july).

This does look like a bug which should be fixed; you shouldn't have to enable privacy-sensitive modes to get the GPS to work.
I'll go back and try what happens when I disable the "HERE" location detection again.
