Description

Logic of the program:
<get POI from servers> if CurrentLocation is close to POI <sound Notification>

Important to notice is this bug happens on only Some phones (Mostly Huawei P9/10), as same code runs perfectly on my S6.

Logic implemntation:

function onAppReady()
{
build_dom();
gps_watch();
if IOS .....
If Android ....
}

function gps_watch()
{
	var options = {
		enableHighAccuracy: true,
		timeout: 30000
	}

gps_watch_handle = navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(
		location_received,
		function(obj)
		{
                   some code here... basically it says  to restart the gps_watch()
                },
,
		options
	);
}

function location_received(position)
{
if IOS .... do this
If Android do this...

basic logic is we create an data source with which we can compare.
	pos = new Array(position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude, position.coords.accuracy, position.coords.speed, position.coords.heading);
}

So far I tried to debug something in the console:
this is what I have:

within gps_watch method
within location_received method
>>> Latitude: 57.023577388
within location_received method
>>> Latitude: 57.023596579

this above repeate for about 2 minutes (which is how it should behave).

Then it stops:
within location_received method
>>> Latitude: 57.023733988
within location_received method

No errors no nothing. I tried manually to start the gps_watch method (just added a button with that method attached as onClick) this happens:
within gps_watch method
within error function in gps_watch method
within gps_watch method
within error function in gps_watch method

and this repeate.

EDIT: in the error function object, which I receive after I manually click on the gps_watch method with the button I greated lies this:
body:::gps error: Timeout expired
code:::gps errorcode: 3

As you can see I am a novice developer, I would appreciate any guides into how to solve/further debug this issue.

Thank you,
Ivan
