I noticed this a few weeks ago and it has not been rectified. I have asked the osmtouch developers if they know about it https://answers.launchpad.net/osmtouch/+question/254334
Digging into it today I found the following after running OSM Touch and touching the location detection arrow :- phablet@ubuntu-phablet:/$ cat /var/log/ubuntu-location-service/com.ubuntu.location.WARNING Log file created at: 2014/09/11 15:24:31 Running on machine: ubuntu-phablet Log line format: [IWEF]mmdd hh:mm:ss.uuuuuu threadid file:line] msg E0911 15:24:31.517678 2420 skeleton.cpp:177] Error creating session: Client lacks permissions to access the service with the given criteria E0912 08:52:39.514560 2419 skeleton.cpp:177] Error creating session: Client lacks permissions to access the service with the given criteria So it seems like a permissions issue? Also, going back to the start of the warnings:- phablet@ubuntu-phablet:/$ cat /var/log/ubuntu-location-service/com.ubuntu.location.ubuntu-phablet.invalid-user.log.WARNING.20140809-134227.916 Log file created at: 2014/08/09 13:42:27 Running on machine: ubuntu-phablet Log line format: [IWEF]mmdd hh:mm:ss.uuuuuu threadid file:line] msg W0809 13:42:27.226502 916 ofono_nm_connectivity_manager.cpp:171] Exception while creating connected radio cell: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "GetProperties" with signature "" on interface "org.ofono.NetworkRegistration" doesn't exist All warnings are the same as above until:- phablet@ubuntu-phablet:/$ cat /var/log/ubuntu-location-service/com.ubuntu.location.ubuntu-phablet.invalid-user.log.WARNING.20140822-100144.924 Log file created at: 2014/08/22 10:01:44 Running on machine: ubuntu-phablet Log line format: [IWEF]mmdd hh:mm:ss.uuuuuu threadid file:line] msg E0822 10:01:44.903519 1942 skeleton.cpp:177] Error creating session: Client lacks permissions to access the service with the given criteria Then:- phablet@ubuntu-phablet:/$ cat /var/log/ubuntu-location-service/com.ubuntu.location.ubuntu-phablet.invalid-user.log.WARNING.20140827-070346.912 Log file created at: 2014/08/27 07:03:46 Running on machine: ubuntu-phablet Log line format: [IWEF]mmdd hh:mm:ss.uuuuuu threadid file:line] msg E0827 07:03:46.443877 912 ofono_nm_connectivity_manager.cpp:141] Error while setting up access to radio and network stack: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 Then the rest are the permissions errors with one more of the "Error wile setting up access" errors. And for reference:- phablet@ubuntu-phablet:/$ system-image-cli -i current build number: 203 device name: mako channel: ubuntu-touch/utopic last update: 2014-08-22 07:57:57 version version: 203 version ubuntu: 20140821.1 version device: 20140811.1 last update: 2014-08-22 07:57:57 corresponds to the start of the permissions errors. Also, thinking back, location detection was definitely working on 1st of July which was prior to me upgrading to utopic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to location-service in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1368647 Title: GPS and location detection not working on Nexus 4 Status in “location-service” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Mako with MultiROM, utopic r239 None of the apps I have tried including Weather, Google maps, OSM Touch and SensorStatus are able to use the phone's GPS. 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.
