Yay, it works finally!:) (Almost)

I tried all kinds of posibilities many times, and it works only then:
1. Flashing bq-aquaris.en channel
2. Turn on GPS with Nokia HERE setting.
3. Restart.

Tests show, that it works independent of radio version, it can be old or new, 
does not matter (It always works if 1-2-3 above is done on any channel, and 
don't work if the opposite).
 
It matters to have /bq-aquaris.en channel installed, because I could not find 
Nokia HERE setting on '/ubuntu' channel..

Tested with SensorsStatus app and uNAV app, it works. But "sudo
test_gps" command only shows empty values... and two "unkown error" at
the start.

If I disable wi-fi and enable flight mode, gps still recognizes location
correctly, so this means that GPS itself must be working.

Tried to drive with my finally working GPS today, but signal was very
unstable, map choppy, unav was not knowing the direction and all kinds
of other problem - mostly loosing signal. I could reacuire signal only
by switching apps SensorsStatus -> uNAV, and visa versa, this way signal
always reappears but only if I switch those apps, and after a minute,
lost again.

I'll test more later (weeks). But glad it works just a bit, some more
steps and it might be working well! :) Now the questions are why is does
not know direction (compass etc.), why test_gps does not work, why maps
are so choppy (not smooth) and what causes signal to always dissapear
untill I swith apps.

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.
