Google map v2 api not tracking user location

Question

For some reason my MapFragment won't show the user location anymore? Map tiles are still displayed but it's not displaying current location??

         public class MyTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>{

                protected void onPreExecute() {

                    map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
                            .getMap();
                    map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(place, 4000));
                    map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(10), 2000, null);
                    map.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
                    map.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(true);
                    map.getUiSettings().setMyLocationButtonEnabled(true);
                    map.setTrafficEnabled(true);
                    locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);


            }

This is my basic MapFragment which normally worked until i started testing on another Android device which uses the same android version only difference is theres no SIM card in the device. Does that make a difference??

</manifest> 

I have no idea how the api has stopped working. Any feedback appreciated

Answer 1

Yes, sim card absence could be an issue. I have the same trouble wasn't able to get location without sim card (no SIM - no network location provider), because GPS location provider couldn't determine location indoors.
