Get Location with Mvvmcross

I'm trying to get location in my application (mvvmcross/monodroid) I follow this post : http://slodge.blogspot.be/2012/04/getting-location-information-in.html I'm using Vnext version. When I try to get location I have this message in output : "Location Service Provider unavailable - returned null". I have this code to initialise location plugin in App.cs :

protected override void InitialisePlugIns()
    {Cirrious.MvvmCross.Plugins.Location.PluginLoader.Instance.EnsureLoaded();}

And in my ViewModel I follow the sample. I have to get location when I'm on the view so I added this code in my ViewModel constructor : 

_watcher = this.GetService<IMvxGeoLocationWatcher>();
DoStartStop();

I did somthing wrong I have this message ?

edit: I use Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.0 7"

I'm not sure what the problem might be, but some things to try are:

  • does your device definitely have gps? And is it enabled?
  • does your test app have coarse and fine capabilities declared in the manifest file?
  • does another app work? Eg the mvx tutorial app with its location view?
