    <p>OK, so I've been looking for an adequate response to this issue for quite some time. I have a web application that uses <code>navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition</code> to get a user's position.</p> <p>The native browser on the Samsung Galaxy devices nearly always have problems with the getCurrentPosition code. I have tried all kinds of variations of this code with callbacks and timeouts, but its always the same issue. Plenty of people have documented this issue, and some indicate that restarting the device will work (sometimes restarting does work, but not always - and an alert telling users to restart their device seems beyond rediculous).</p> <p>Has anyone figured out a surefire way to use getCurrentPosition to work on a Samsung Galaxy Device? Here's what I'm working with...</p> <pre><code>&lt;script&gt; $(document).ready(function(){ if( navigator.geolocation ) { navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition( success, fail ); } else { alert("Sorry, your browser does not support geolocation services."); } function success(position) { window.location = "mobile_set_coordinates.php?user_lat=" + position.coords.latitude + "&amp;user_lon=" + position.coords.longitude + "&amp;accuracy=" + position.coords.accuracy; } function fail() { // Could not obtain location } }); &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>Also, here's a link to one of the discussions regarding the issue: <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/phonegap/ESrHAjFHgFU">https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/phonegap/ESrHAjFHgFU</a></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
