1113657 - [ZTE Open C] Start using geolocation reboot device

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[lenaing]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0
Build ID: 20141125180439

Steps to reproduce:

Enabled Geolocation in Settings,
Installed some apps (Nokia Here Maps, zMaps, Remember GPS...)
Let them use the geolocation API when prompted


Actual results:

Once permission shared with the apps, and geolocation icon added to the top bar, device reboots to furry-foxy-firefox.
Device is okay, until you start to use an app working with the geolocation API.


Expected results:

No reboot, but a working geolocation app.

To access GPS hardware we need to talk to a binary driver IIRC. There are good chances that the driver shipping with the Open C has an interface that is not compatible with the current gecko master branch.

Okay, used to work with my last build in late October.
I will wait for the update :)
