So, this is not exactly related, but I see that you also work on Firefox OS, and I assume part of the reason for this project is to improve location services on FxOS.
I got a ZTE Open to play around with, and was disappointed to find that it can't figure out where I am. Of course, I know it's a cheap phone and the OS is only in version 1.0. So if the location were a little inaccurate, or took a long time to come up, I would understand. But it literally never gets my location at all. (I live in NYC.)
Why do you think that would happen? And tying it back into this project, how soon do you think FxOS end-users will start seeing improvements from what you're doing?
- abrowne 13y agoI've read 1.1 helps with this, for the Keon at least.
- cpeterso 13y agoYeah, the geolocation on some early Firefox OS models is a known problem. Unfortunately, Mozilla does not control the final bits that ship on devices. This Mozilla wiki page specifically addresses these GPS problem: https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G/Geolocation https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G/Geolocation
