Why is locationmanager returning old location fixes with new gettime-timestamp?

Question

We have an app that upon user action tries to get a location fix. It listens both on GPS and network and has a time/accuracy based decision matrix to determine when to stop

Answer 1

It seems to happen both from Wi-Fi and network, but not GPS

This seems fair, because in the Wi-Fi and network cell-site based triangulation, the accuracy is very bad. They are probably using cached locations which date back to 30 minutes ago. Unless you have not changed your cell-site or moved to another building so that new APs can be discovered, I'm afraid you will get only cached locations. If you want fresh locations use the GPS provider.
