Title:
Ubuntu Phone is not getting a mobile network cell triangulation
position
Status in Canonical System Image:
Confirmed
Status in location-service package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Hi!
I think that the mobile network cell triangulation position is not
working in Ubuntu Phone OS.
The position should be really fast (~1 - 5") and I'm thinking that
Ubuntu Phone is waiting for a real GPS position every time.
A good test could be this:
- Go to a room, way out of a sky to avoid a real GPS signal.
- Set WiFi service OFF.
- Set GPS service ON.
- Set data connection ON.
- Go to this website via webbrowser-app:
http://leafletjs.com/examples/mobile-example.html The website will ask you to
allow access to the current location.
- Make sure to not have a GPS position cached.
In a PC or *any* Android you'll see your position immediately.
Bug: In Ubuntu Phone an error will appears. This error is because the
geoposition
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Geolocation/Using_geolocation)
is not working with the cell triangulation network data.
You can try a lot of apps like Google Maps, OSMTouch, HERE map, uNAV... and a
fast position from data connection is not happening, unless you be with a WIFI
connection.
If you try Google Maps in Android, the position will be really fast just with
data connection.
Thanks in advance!
