This actually now seems like it's the first GPS app run will keep the GPS and not release it when closed.
Try this: 1 Reboot the MX4 2 Open (for example) HERE maps 3 Check it's got your location right 4 Keep HERE open, but choose a different GPS app (eg: OSMTouch) 5 The second GPS app will have your location 6 Move to a new location 7 HERE maps (in this case) will update fine 8 Second app will not update to the new location Even closing the first app before opening the second makes no difference. The GPS is locked to that first app until a reboot is done. Also applies to the Nearby scope (as a second app). -- 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/1468020 Title: Two GPS compatible apps conflict and loose GPS Status in location-service package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Meizu MX4 with Ubuntu 15.04 r2 1. run OSMscout (for example) 2. drive/cycle a distance to confirm that GPS tracking is working fine 3. run the camera app (for example) 4. take a few photos (they'll be tagged with GPS info) 5. switch to OSMscout 6. drive/cycle and OSM will now not update from GPS Haven't tested this with other apps as yet, but it seems that one app will take control of the GPS and not hand it back.
