GPS is unable to find any position

[Martin]

Even if you enable tracking position on Aquaris E 4.5, either with here drive or just with the GPS on, no position is tracked.

You may need to force the firmware to reload. Turn the phone completely off for several seconds then turn it on again and see it it improves.

I'm facing the same on my E5. Not working even after cold reboots.

[Anupam (anupam207)]

What kind of logs should I gather?

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Process/Merges/TestPlan/location-service#Forensics

[Anupam (anupam207)]

`ubuntu-location-serviced-cli --bus system --get --property visible_space_vehicles` when "GPS only" or "GPS + Wi-Fi & cellular network info" is active, gives:

Visible space vehicles:
Attempted to unregister path (path[0] = com path[1] = ubuntu) which isn't registered

I am indoor all the time and connected to Wi-Fi. Tried cold booting many times, no change in output. Also tried deleting /var/lib/ubuntu-location-service/config.ini file before rebooting, still no use.

No visible satellites in an indoor scenario is certainly possible.
Do you have SIM cards in your phone? Are you actively connected to an AP?

[Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan)]

@anupam no satellites when indoors is expected, please ignore that message.
Can you gather the other info from that page?

[Anupam (anupam207)]

Well, fortunately (or unfortunately?) my location is detected again after one more /var/lib/ubuntu-location-service/config.ini deletion followed by a cold boot. I shall try to gather the logs if I see this issue again.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Martin (heart-shaped-box12)]

I finally managed to be detected by reinitializing my phone.
