I am having issues with GPS location ability with BQ Ubuntu phone, with the map applications. When I am on a wireless network this works fine. However when in a metro area with close to full carrier network signal, no good.

-I can access websites with the browser ok. -confirmed that 'data roaming' 'location detection' & 'GPS' are selected.
-tested with three maps applications, google maps, here maps & whereis.
-these map applications can view areas If search manually, but still cannot find my location.

this is probably more of a hardware limitation than software.

thanks James

Please note that standalone GPS positioning is quite slow in acquiring a fix. That is, without any additional help, the time from requesting a position until the first actual fix is delivered may very well take ~20 minutes depending on satellite visibility.

That being said, we have enabled multiple ways of speeding up location fixes. All of them require a non-roaming data connection, e.g., a WiFi connection or a mobile data connection.
