OK, this is really getting ridiculous. Google Play Location Provider just isn't reliable.
Only once in a great while can I even get a location. I'm not sure how I did it. I can't find any combination of settings that is reliable. Device Only mode has never worked except perhaps once. GPS was never activated as far as I can tell. getLastLocation() states "If a location is not available, which should happen very rarely, null will be returned. The best accuracy available while respecting the location permissions will be returned." Not true. Seems pretty common for me and is happening a lot for end users as well. Not such a big deal if one could ask for the location and expect to get it. Still nowhere is documented what settings the user has to have for me to get location through Google Play Services. So far the promise of the FusedLocationProvider is coming short bigtime. I'm close to crawling back to the supposedly inferior LocationManager.
