Android Question Tablet does not detect satellites

vecino · Jul 6, 2015

Hello, I have tested the tutorial GPS and it works well in a smartphone, but in a tablet it does not detect the satellites.
In the tablet, the google maps detects the location correctly and also other softwares that I have tested.
What can happen?

Tablet: wolder mitab.
Android: 4.4

From what I saw in the internet - your tablet doesn't have gps so no wonder it does not recieve satellites.

It is curious. The tablet says that it has GPS:

However, as you have said, I have read the user's manual and it does not have GPS.
Then, how do they obtain the location google maps and other software?
Thank you.

I think it is done by WiFi location

Try it by a window.
Too many people try these things in a middle of a room or by a wall.

You even can go outside.... If the device dont have a GPS then it is hard to get the satelites and the position

It's in the window

How is the location for wifi?
Is the tablet does not need GPS?

compare it to laptops that have the blutooth led and/or switch but the Blutooth module is not added to the laptop.
they did that to prevent the design of yet another type of casing.

I guess Android expects to have GPS available on every device.
