title: Geolocation HTML5 API enableHighAccuracy:True does not force GPS to turn on om Android devices
body: <p>I am building a mobile site that needs to fetch high accuracy location from the user's phone.
  I using the HTML5 Geolocation .watchPosition function and <strong>enableHighAccuracy: true</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>When tested on IOS devices, The code forces GPS to turn on and return me high accuracy data (4m), but when I tried with my MotoX (kitkat) and Nexus 5, Location symbol does <strong>not</strong> appear at the phone top bar and the accuracy returned was low (100m).</p>
  
  <p>Something I have also noticed is that even the www.maps.google.com cannot initialize my phone's GPS (uses only inferred location from wifi+network), although all native apps (including Google Maps App) can use it and my phone's location mode is set to "High Accuracy".</p>
  
  <p>I have tested this on the following Android browsers with wifi on and off and had the same result:
  -Chrome,
  -Opera Classic
  -Opera
  -Dolphin</p>
  
  <p>My JS conde:</p>
  
  <pre><code>navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(success,fail,
          { enableHighAccuracy: true,
           //timeout: 100000,
          //maximumAge: 0 
          });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and the success function is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>function success(pos) {// Location was found
          //set global variables with coordinates
          globalLat=pos.coords.latitude;
          globalLng=pos.coords.longitude;
          $("#precision").html=pos.coords.accuracy;
          alert(pos.coords.accuracy);
          //create google location from coordinates
          latlng=new google.maps.LatLng(globalLat, globalLng);
          //send location to server and get response every 6 seconds;
          setInterval(function(){SendAndGetLocation();}, 6000);
          //create map or update it's center in case it was already created
          if(googleMap===undefined){
              createMap();
          }else{
              googleMap.setCenter(latlng); 
          }
          //Draw user's location on map
          drawLocalMarker(globalLat, globalLng);
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can anyone think of what might be happening?</p>
  
  <p>Cheers</p>
