I'm affected too. I'm on r21. Before the upgrade to r21 my location was detected at least occasionally. Since the upgrade I was not able to get a fix at all. I have here enabled, 2 SIMs in the phone and data enabled. Most of the time I have mobile data enabled and WIFI disabled. I enable WIFI only rarely for upgrades or such. (because of re/connection issues described elsewhere).
In general I dare asking what's the idea behind a GPS receiver that needs a data connection to get a fix? For me aquiring an exact GPS position is most of interest when I'm in the 'wilderness' where you can be glad to get a phone signal at all. I see very limited use for a tool that tells me 'you're downtown vienna now' because there I can read the streetsigns and find my position quite well by other means. I personally get well along without knowing my exact position. But all the Scopes that deliver localized services are worthless without it. Please don't get me wrong. I really don't want to criticize destructively. I bought the device knowing, that not it won't be a cakewalk. And I bought it to support the good work done and to help where I can. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-location in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1442105 Title: GPS not working on my BQ Ubuntu Touch Status in indicator-location package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi.
