Hmm, maybe spoke too soon. Still getting odd, inconsistent results.
I thought maybe if mobileStartTrackingSensor was started using 'true'
(non-accurate sources) that mobileSensorReading should be used with
'false' (not detailed). But trying each combination of booleans I still
don't get a reliable result.
This is weird. On a few occasions, the expected values were answered, but
most of the time, I either get empty or the boolean used with
mobileSensorReading in the answer dialog.
Does it take time to start up location services? Is it possible that the
device needs a few seconds of "warm up" time before it can return a
meaningful result?
