Answer 2

try checking if the location provider is enabled.

also, check if you're getting a location with the network provider

if (locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)) {
    locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 5000, 1, myLocationListener);

} else if (locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER)) {
    locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 5000, 1, myLocationListener);

}

Answer 3

Have you checked Location services for that phone? Is it enabled? If it seems enabled, please turn it off and on and click on agree (in the case of Android 4+ devices). Then check, it should work. Also check, whether you have added permissions for the same in the manifest.
