Location service won't start from app #115

On evo 4g, location receiver won't actually start the Play service, but will receive location after some other app starts it.

Similar thing was observed on B's device.

Moved around some fxns, evo wimax doesn't immediately connect, but eventually receives an update. I'm going to increase the update request frequency. I don't think it actually draws more power, Google will just come back and report the same location more often.

Also, increased priority to HIGH_ACCURACY. We're basically a GPS app for transit.

Issue reappeared in N's HTC One X+ This was in a basement with no GPS, but Maps seemed to get wifi location fine.

Needs tracking on this.

Tracking is in

Early Android versions won't have Play Location API So we do need to fallback to built-in location.

Doesn't work on D GS3

Logcat shows google play services not available, out of date.

GS3 works after it updated play api in the background.

But, it's updated to Android 4.4, so really it's just testing on old Samsung devices.

Online material shows it shouldn't be possible for a phone with the Play store to not have updated APIs. Eg. I couldn't actually use the Play Store on GSII because it was outdated. So you can't install the app without the APIs.

Good enough. Tracking's in on it anyway.
