--------------------------------
Summary: Potential issue with geolocation when device is set to
GPS only
Key: CB-13241
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13241
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: cordova-android, cordova-plugin-geolocation
Environment: Reproducible by me on: Samsung Galaxy S5 when phone
location settings are set to GPS only.
Error reporting has logged the issue on (based on most first):
Samsung Galaxy S7 (international and European version)
Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F)
Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 (SM-A520F)
Samsung Galaxy S8 (SM-G950F)
[etc....]
The top 15 devices are Samsung with the exception of the Sony Xperia XA (F3111).
There are other devices on the list but they happen a handful of times so could
be false positives or users have poor reception for example.
Of note: Google Pixel and Pixel XL does not appear in the list of devices. I am
also unable to reproduce the issue on Nexus 5X.

Pinging [~filmaj] who asked to be assigned this.
My app uses the Geolocation getCurrentPosition() function on both IOS and
Android. I have had an estimated 1.6k Android users unable to get a location
with a timeout error code 3. There are no problems on IOS.
I first try to get location with the following settings:
this.geolocationOptionsFirst = {
enableHighAccuracy: true,
maximumAge: 300000,
timeout: 10000
}
if that fails I then try again with the following settings:
this.geolocationOptionsSecond = {
enableHighAccuracy: false,
maximumAge: 300000,
timeout: 6000
}
The app is failing with a timeout after 16 seconds in total. My testing has
made me believe it's something to do with setting phone location settings to
GPS only. Please see environment for affected devices.
Happy to provide more information if needed. I am available on the
cordova-android Slack channel as frontendphil.
