Well, simply request location permission on Android device.

Is there any code involved?

      geolocation.enableLocationRequest().then( function () {
         // I never get here...
      });

@DimitarTachev : geolocation.getCurrentLocation({ timeout : 0 }) works.

@DimitarTachev In your comment you mentioned using Accuracy.any could cause this behavior on devices without a mobile network? Is there a reliable way to get (at least) a coarse location on devices without network (or on airplane mode)?

I’ve been having the same issue on my app, seemingly randomly, for a while now. i.e.

geolocation.getCurrentLocation({desiredAccuracy: Accuracy.any, timeout: 10000}).then( function ( loc ) {
      // I never get here...
   }, function ( err ) {
      // and neither here...
   });

Is the way to fix it timeout: 0 or removing the timeout altogether?
