On a daily basis, i'm not able to use the GPS. In order to get nearby information i'm relying on wifi(accurate)+3g(inaccurate), unfortunately i cannot use Unav app for instance.
I tried on my balcony test-GPS with success (catching a position), I decided to try by walking in my neighbourhood. I reboot the phone to use a "fresh" setup, and after 30 min test-GPS didn't catch anything. the current config : system-image-cli -i current build number: 349 device name: mako channel: ubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/bq-aquaris.en last update: 2016-07-02 00:26:02 version version: 349 version ubuntu: 20160702 version device: 20160401.1 version custom: 20160701-5-vivid phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ ubuntu-location-serviced-cli --bus system --get --property visible_space_vehicles Visible space vehicles: Attempted to unregister path (path[0] = com path[1] = ubuntu) which isn't registered phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ ps ax | grep location 890 ?

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.
