Joe Bowser commented on CB-5780:
--------------------------------
I haven't tested with the Samsung Galaxy S, but the Samsung Galaxy S2 running
Android 4.0.3 seems to be working correctly with both built-in geolocation and
the Geolocation plugin.
There are a few things that people need to remember about Geolocation:
1. GPS is the slowest to get a fix. Not getting a fix from the GPS after 60
seconds is actually quite common. Grab an old Garmin GPS and you'll see this.
2. If you've never used this device GPS or if you reset the device, and you
don't have it hooked up to any network, it will time out.
We are deprecating our GPS plugin for the built-in GPS. That being said, I
can't reproduce any of your problems with the Samsung Galaxy S2 that I have on
my desk right now, most likely because I connected it to my WiFi so I can
download the update.

> hi guys.
> only in android i get this kind of error. i am using the following devices:
> samsung gt1900 and samsung i9100.
> the error is that the when calling to geolocation.watchPosition the device
> first trying to get location status from gps sensor and not from network as
> in ios.
> after timeout that i set of 60 secs, it return a message that gps fail and
> so.. but not get location from network.
> in the beginning i thought it was my devices fault but then i run this
> native
> example(http://www.androidhive.info/2012/07/android-gps-location-manager-tutorial/)
> on the devices and it work just fine.
> this is real important to me because most of our apps are location based.
> i also updated the geolocation plugin to 0.3.5 but still no changes.
