Good call I guess I could do all three at once then check to see which is more accurate. startNetwork does get called which is why its so why it is so weird. I though maybe I was doing some wrong. I'll give it a shot with all 3 and see what happens. Thanks for your time and input!

And no I don't know why your network provider is no working, try adding some debug statement to see if startNetwork() is being called ok. Other suggestion is to use getLastKnownLocation(String).
