Welcome to Android Central! Which device do you have? I noticed it wasn't working well on my Nexus 5, but then recently decided to start working. It might have been related to a Google Play Services update. Which version do you have? Mine is 7.0.99.

The location unlocking is broken for a lot if people now, keep an eye on the forums but it looks like something Google needs to fix in Play Services.

Hi Gone down south. I have read that location is not working for a lot of people. None of it works for me and to make matters worse all the alternatives i can find don't work with lollipop?

Go to the App Manager, select Google Play Services, and see what version it is there.
