Regarding GPS fix I think that it's hardware problem (GPS used in Cortex), because I look at several android phones and here're my results:
- all phones tested with Snapdragon (Nexus 4, LG L fino, one HTC) get first fix below 10 seconds;
- all phones tested with Cortex (Lenovo A820, MX4, Kazam) getting first fix even till 2 minutes.
That makes all phones in market with Ubuntu (BQ, Meizu) are useless regarding in example using NearBy scope (without previous getting GPS fix in some navi app). Maybe solution to get phone more useful with features requiring GPS position is to release some phone with Snapdragon part (or GPS tested before and looked average time of first GPS fix)?
Does Canonical team tested that in oncoming MX5 Pro?
