To test whether the low-level HERE stack gets a location, put http://people.canonical.com/~lool/espoo-cli on your phone (will be included along HERE bits in the future) and run with: chmod a+x espoo-cli GLOG_logtostderr=1 GLOG_v=100 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/custom/vendor/here/location-provider/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf ./espoo-cli 5
NB: 5 is the number of location updates after which the tool exits; updates should come in at approx 15s interval. Output looks like: I1101 21:30:01.285964 4403 cli.cpp:117] Requested number of updates is 2 I1101 21:30:01.299002 4403 cli.cpp:133] Starting location updates I1101 21:30:01.301888 4403 cli.cpp:141] Starting GLib main loop I1101 21:30:11.304612 4403 cli.cpp:158] Location: tstamp=1414891811 lat=xyz long=foo hor. acc.=2569 alt=nan vert. acc.=nan tech=cell I1101 21:30:11.306061 4403 cli.cpp:170] Remaining updates: 1 I1101 21:30:26.736821 4403 cli.cpp:158] Location: tstamp=1414891826 lat=xyz long=foo hor. acc.=2824 alt=nan vert. acc.=nan tech=cell I1101 21:30:26.738348 4403 cli.cpp:148] Stopping location updates This worked for me on mako and krillin with respectively latest vivid and rtm from yesterday (139); however I did manage to get a "general error" in one case on krillin, seemingly because I started this when the device was still booting. Interestingly, I get tech=cell for krillin and tech=wifi for mako, despite both being on the same table; this suggests these dont have the same wifi and/or cell visibility. -- 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/1387708 Title: [TOPBLOCKER] Location services not getting location Status in Location Service: New Status in “location-service” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “location-service” package in Ubuntu RTM: Confirmed Status in “location-service” source package in 14.09: Confirmed Bug description: Failing to get location fix from application.
