Description

Task: get geolocation when phone is connected to wifi
Issue: Geolocation does not work when phone is connected to wifi network (when using GPS or using tel. provider signal it works fine).
I get following errors even if I have granted permissions using Android 6.0 mechanism for ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION and ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION.
