[jira] [Commented] (CB-5760) Cordova 3.1 or greater Geolocation fails with "Position retrieval timed out"

["VinceRafale (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5760?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13869937#comment-13869937 ] 

VinceRafale commented on CB-5760:
---------------------------------

Hello
I never managed to make it work. 

Here are the versions I am using
cordova  3.3.1-0.1.2
geolocation plugin 0.3.5

What are the versions you managed to make it work with ?
Is it possible to share any code/github repo ? I would like to understand what's wrong, what differs from my implementation...

Moreover, does the Geolocation built in the browser has access to the GPS ?

Thanks

PS: my tests were done on a device running Android 4.4.2.

> It seems that downgrading to 2.9 does the trick.
> Please note that with cordova 3.1 and higher geolocation works in genymotion (when gps enabled) but not on a real device.
> So fake positions are correctly interpreted.
> Keeping the same html/js code, if the geolocation plugin is removed from the project (cordova plugin rm org.apache.cordova.geolocation), then the app uses the webview integrated geolocation.... and then geolocation works as expected.
