GEO Location problem on homescreen

[TROSSAB]

Hi!

I walked into the problem of my geolocation breaking when the app is added to homescreen.
I googled around and found some other guys with the same problem.
One solution seemed to be not to add the meta:

<metacontent="yes"name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable"/>

When device uses IOS 6.

Is there any other solution to this problem?
And how do I remove that meta from my sencha app, only if the user agent header contains "ios 6"?

This code from the API docs:

var geo = Ext.create('Ext.util.Geolocation', {
    autoUpdate : false,
    listeners  : {
        locationupdate : function (geo) {
            alert('New latitude: ' + geo.getLatitude());
        },
        locationerror  : function (geo, bTimeout, bPermissionDenied, bLocationUnavailable, message) {
            if (bTimeout) {
                alert('Timeout occurred.');
            } else {
                alert('Error occurred.');
            }
        }
    }
});
geo.updateLocation();

works on both my iPhone 5 and iPad 3 both having iOS 6.0.1 and web app is added to homescreen.

I have a similar code and sometimes(yes, sometimes.. sometimes hanging) it works when the first call is made to

geo.updateLocation()

But I also have a button which enables the user to make another call to updateLocation whenever the user wants.

That means the second to infinite number of calls is made from the button.

In iOS 6 the first automatic call sometimes goes through without hanging.
In iOS 6 the second to infinite call never works, it just hangs. (the application itself seems to work fine)

In iOS 5 all calls works every time.

I've tried this on the following devices:

iPhone 5 (2 different devices)
iPhone 4S
iPad 2
the new iPad
Samsung Galaxy S2
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

It works perfectly fine for all devices except the iPhone 5 when added to homescreen.
When not added to homescreen it works in iPhone 5 as well.

Here are two other sites adressing the same issue.

Maby you just tried to make one call with your iPhone 5?
I appreciate your help and if you actually got it working with more than one call I'd love to test your exakt code to see if I can make that running.
