Geo-location on Galaxy SIII - Always returns a failure

[dale]

Hi all,

I'm sorry this is a specific question to do with a particular device, but thought I'd ask here to see if any of you good people have experienced this.

I'm gradually going through testing my app on a number of devices that I'm getting my hands on from friends (and occasionally using online testing services on real devices through web).

The only problem so far I've had is getting geo-location to work on a Galaxy SIII.

The service is invoked, but never results in a success, always a fail and no location returned (obviously!).

Thanks,

Dale.

Hello!

What version of Android do you have on the Galaxy SIII?

Hi Alena,

It's 4.1.1

Ta.

Dale!

Please look through the following question https://getsatisfaction.com/apperyio/...
The workaround is in last but one comment, if it doesn't help inform us.

I already have multi-page template enabled.
Thanks,

I've been through this thread too ... but no help - https://groups.google.com/forum/?from...

Is it a known problem with PhoneGap and the Galaxy SIII? (registered with them as a bug?)

It might be.. try running the Geolocation API directly and see if that works.

[dale]

Already tried that, it doesn't.

Then it's something with PhoneGap or the device.

Are there any current users of appery.io experiencing this also?
I'm a bit concerned as obviously as the SIII is a popular phone!
Thanks,
Dale.
