gps - can't find the exact current location in android

Question

I have use this below code for find the current location but i got that some devices(samsung 7' and 10'inch and nexus 10'inch) exact current locations,but unfoirtunately i can't find the locations in samsung s3.

I don't have any idea ,what is issue.no find the locations.

here is my code:

public class GPSTracker extends Service implements LocationListener
{
private final Context mContext;

//flag for GPS Status
boolean isGPSEnabled = false;

//flag for network status
boolean isNetworkEnabled = false;

boolean canGetLocation = false;

Location location;
double latitude;
double longitude;

//The minimum distance to change updates in metters
private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 10; //10 metters

//The minimum time beetwen updates in milliseconds
private static final long MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 1000 * 60 * 1; // 1 minute

//Declaring a Location Manager
protected LocationManager locationManager;

public GPSTracker(Context context) 
{
    this.mContext = context;
    getLocation();
}

public Location getLocation()
{
    try
    {
        locationManager = (LocationManager) mContext.getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);

        //getting GPS status
        isGPSEnabled = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);

        //getting network status
        isNetworkEnabled = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

        if (!isGPSEnabled && !isNetworkEnabled)
        {
            // no network provider is enabled
        }
        else
        {
            this.canGetLocation = true;

            //First get location from Network Provider
            if (isNetworkEnabled)
            {
                locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
                        LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
                        MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES,
                        MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, this);

                Log.d("Network", "Network");

Answer 1

When the location comes in check for accuracy. If its not accurate enough then don't process it.

@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
        if (!location.hasAccuracy()) {
            return;
        }
        if (location.getAccuracy() > 5) {
            return;
        }
     // do something with location accurate to 5 meters here.
    }
