Getting Location Services Running Unity/Tango

I am building a simple app in Unity/Tango platform.
I am trying to get the location.
I followed the steps in this https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/LocationService.Start.html
So after 20 seconds wait it 'Timed out' and the Status is always 'initializing'.
The Input.location.lastData.latitude and Input.location.lastData.longitude is always zero.
In addition I have set this in the AndroidManifest.xml file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location.gps" android:required="true" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location" android:required="true" />
Any help would be appreciated.
-Thanks

Found the answer:
On Android devices, LocationService doesn’t work without setting “high accuracy” location mode in the system settings (“Settings” -> “Location” -> “Mode”).

Android Uses-Feature VS. Uses-Permision Optimization

I have the following permissions explicitly requested in my manifest.
I would like to optimize store visibility by switching as many as possible of them to implicit 'uses-feature' declarations. I will also handle this additionally in code checking for features before I access them.
Internet access is the only thing that's truly required for my app, other features I can enable/disable conditionally based on hasFeatures().
Question:
Which of these permissions can I change?
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.android.vending.BILLING" />
<permission android:name="com.appName.supportmapfragment.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.appName.supportmapfragment.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
<uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000" android:required="true" />

Set required to 'false' if your app doesn't require something to run:
To control filtering, always explicitly declare hardware features in
elements, rather than relying on Google Play to
"discover" the requirements in elements. Then, if
you want to disable filtering for a particular feature, you can add a
android:required="false" attribute to the declaration.
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-permission-element.html (in the right-hand sidebar)
The documentation has this example:
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="false" />

Turning on the internet data packets in android

what i am doing::
I have disabled the datapackets so i don't have a internet connection
at the moment in emulator
Now i am checking whether the internet connection is available if not
availabe i am using this code below to launch the screen so that i
can enable the datapackets
code::startActivity(new Intent(WifiManager.ACTION_PICK_WIFI_NETWORK));
This code takes me to page::
When i click on button it shows turning wifion.... but it is not switching on no matter how long i wait
But when i close the app and go to settings manually. I can turn it on
The permissions i have used are below::
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
What is that i am doing wrong here ? how can i correct myself !

try this code.it might helps you
Intent gpsOptionsIntent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_WIFI_SETTINGS);
startActivityForResult(gpsOptionsIntent,0);
if you are using wifiManager than you will need this permission.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />

Get neighboring cell in Android returns null

I'm trying to get the neighbouring cell info in Android but the function getNeighboringCellInfo() always return null.
I used the following code :
protected void getCellInfo() {
TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
List<NeighboringCellInfo> neighborCells = telephonyManager.getNeighboringCellInfo();
if (neighborCells == null) {
OutUtils.debug("no neighbor cells");
} else {
...
}
}
The context variable is from a Service class.
My AndroidManifest.xml permission
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
I tried with and without enabling the "Use 2G networks" option in Android.
Any idea ? Thanks

If you can run logcat, try running logcat -b radio. If you are lucky, the RIL code will be spitting out debug messages, showing the actual request to the modem for the neighboring cell info. It could well be that the modem is just returning an empty list. If this is the case, it has nothing to do with permissions, and there is not much you can to fix it.

The cellid implementation varies from mobile device to mobile device since these features are considered to be optional. for example:
Samsung (all devices): getNeigbouringCells () is not supported at all and always returns an empty list.
according to this: http://wiki.opencellid.org/wiki/Android_library
and this: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?can=2&start=0&num=100&q=&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=24306

I think, maybe you haven't set all necessary permissions in Manifest. look here Null Issue with NeighboringCellInfo, CID and LAC
If you think you have them, put the manifest in the question, too, please.
