After further investigation I have now upgraded the radio firmware to radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.84 as I had previously downgraded and upgraded this before when using older versions of Ubuntu Touch.
I don't think that made any difference. I stoped and restarted the ubuntu-location-service phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo service ubuntu-location-service status ubuntu-location-service start/running, process 917 phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo service ubuntu-location-service stop ubuntu-location-service stop/waiting phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo service ubuntu-location-service start ubuntu-location-service start/running, process 5847 When running OSM Touch and SensorsStatus after the restart both apps asked for permision to access my location and location detection started to work again. However looking in the logs I found the following warning:- phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cat /var/log/ubuntu-location-service/com.ubuntu.location.WARNING Log file created at: 2014/09/13 10:29:17 Running on machine: ubuntu-phablet Log line format: [IWEF]mmdd hh:mm:ss.uuuuuu threadid file:line] msg E0913 10:29:17.485262 5865 android_hardware_abstraction_layer.cpp:157] Error downloading GPS Xtra data: /build/buildd/net-cpp-1.1.0+14.10.20140804/src/core/net/http/impl/curl/request.h@157 - execute: Timeout was reached: No space left on device See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/location- service/+bug/1367835 -- 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.
