Thanks Mark, TreKing and Filip. The problems gone away and will not be
coming back. LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER works like a charm.
Thanks

To add to this, this is because by using Criteria and, more importantly,
specifying ACCURACY_FINE and POWER_HIGH, you are pretty much saying "gimme
GPS if available".

@TreKing: getBestProvider(); returns GPS but as my app is perfectly
functional without the GPS I would like to use the cell network even when
GPS is available. Is there any way to do so?
Thanks

I am aware of the last know location returning null. As for my code using
GPS, the book that I learnt geo services said that this shouldn't happen.
Seems they were wrong.

Are you sure about that? When GPS is on, what does getBestProvider return?

Are you waiting for the GPS to actually report that it found a valid
location ... ?

In brief, Mark wanted to see the code of the null Location acquisition using
GPS.

Exactly my point. When the GPS is on it returns null for the location, but
if the GPS is off then the cell phone tower location works fine. Is there
any way that I can set my app to triangulate using only the cellphone
network?
Thanks

Hi all
I wrote an app that gets and displays your location on a map. I am using the
Google Maps service to render the map. The app has been live for less than
two hours and I have received 33 crash reports (using ACRA).
I have been able to recreate the problem. The app works fine if the GPS is
