   > I had "only phone" (so via gps only) and there is no way to make it work.
   
   If the phone is set GPS only, this means the only source of GPS information it can use is from GPS satellites. Cold booting the GPS hardware takes a very long time. It isn't abnormal for this to take >= 15 minutes before you start receiving GPS updates. 
   
   When the phone is set to high accuracy (not to be confused with the API's `highAccuracy` flag), it uses more sources of information such as cellular towers and wifi networks to receive GPS events faster.
   
   Unfortunately this is a user setting that is not configurable by the app.
   
   I have this better explained in my [gist](https://gist.github.com/breautek/d6231fa33d6942c269296546892afb5e).
   
   I don't believe this is an issue that Cordova can resolve. As was discovered, the issue persisted even when using the native geolocation APIs. So I'll be closing this ticket.
