I’ve spent most of my day testing this, trying to reproduce failures, and the results are not consistent from one test run to the other (i.e. it sometimes works, sometimes not). By instrumenting oxide and qtubuntu- sensors though, I was able to determine that oxide calls in to the positioning plugin as expected, but the plugin does not always answer.
It’s likely that google maps and here.com issue a call to navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition() with a timeout parameter, so if the plugin takes too long to answer (or never does), the timeout is hit and the pages report that they were unable to determine the location. For comparison, http://html5demos.com/geo does not specify a timeout, so it sits there waiting for an answer forever (and sometimes eventually gets it, sometimes not). The bug is not in webbrowser-app, and unlikely to be in oxide either, but I’m not sure where to target it. ** Also affects: oxide Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: qtubuntu-sensors Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: qtubuntu-sensors Assignee: (unassigned) => Thomas Voß (thomas-voss) ** Changed in: oxide Assignee: (unassigned) => Olivier Tilloy (osomon) ** Changed in: webbrowser-app Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: qtubuntu-sensors Importance: Undecided => Critical ** Changed in: oxide Importance: Undecided => Critical -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu WebApps bug tracking, which is subscribed to webbrowser-app. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1371166 Title: HERE location does not work in browser, but works in osmtouch Status in Oxide Webview: New Status in QT Ubuntu Sensors: New Status in Web Browser App: Invalid Bug description: On my N4 I can use our HERE provider to get a location fix using latest utopic image.
