It might be a hardware problem. Try to restart the device. The other apps probably don't use the GPS but rather a solution based on FusedLocationProvider.
Hi Erel, further to my question re the GPS example, I think you're right the problem seems related to my phone, I installed the app to my tablet and another phone and it works okay, everything on the phone is set correctly, In Location in settings I have it set to High accuracy to use GPS, Wi-Fi or mobile networks, and I've tried it to use Device only which is GPS but it still doesn't work
I have tried other app's and they seem okay, when I ask google for my GPS position its there immediately, whilst I accept that the problem is with the hardware what are the other apps and Google using to define the GPS lat and Long, if they are using something else is it possible to try those solutions in my app
ANy advice you can offer, with if possible examples, would be greatly appreciated, all I need is the ability to record my present GPS position, lat and long, which I will save in my database, so I just want to press a button and the current Latitude and Longitude be displayed, is it possible using something else
