Comment 21 for bug 1442105

I'm affected too. I'm on r21.
Before the upgrade to r21 my location was detected at least occasionally.
Since the upgrade I was not able to get a fix at all.
I have here enabled, 2 SIMs in the phone and data enabled.
Most of the time I have mobile data enabled and WIFI disabled.
I enable WIFI only rarely for upgrades or such. (because of re/connection issues described elsewhere).

In general I dare asking what's the idea behind a GPS receiver that needs a data connection to get a fix?
For me aquiring an exact GPS position is most of interest when I'm in the 'wilderness' where you can be glad to get a phone signal at all. I see very limited use for a tool that tells me 'you're downtown vienna now' because there I can read the streetsigns and find my position quite well by other means.
I personally get well along without knowing my exact position.
But all the Scopes that deliver localized services are worthless without it.

Please don't get me wrong. I really don't want to criticize destructively.
I bought the device knowing, that not it won't be a cakewalk.
And I bought it to support the good work done and to help where I can.
