google maps api stopped working in samsung phones

[manoveg]

Hi ,
I have a webapp running for quite some time made using sencha touch 1.1 .
I have used google map api and it was working fine on ios , android (samsung , htc) .

Recently it has stopped working on Samsung Android phones. It is still working on HTC.

I have used

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"></script>

a view mapPlaces.js


xyz.views.mapPlaces = new Ext.Map({
    layout:'card',
    id:'myMappp',
    mapOptions : {
        zoom : 12,
        panControl: false,
        streetViewControl: true,
        mapTypeId : google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
        navigationControl: true,
        navigationControlOptions: {
            style: google.maps.NavigationControlStyle.DEFAULT
        },
        zoomControl: true,
        zoomControlOptions: {
        style: google.maps.ZoomControlStyle.SMALL
    }
   }
});



var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                position: new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lon), 
                title : name, 
                map: CardForYou.views.mapPlaces.map,
                discount:discount,
                icon: icon ,
                description:description,
                bild:bild,
                fotos:fotos,
                adress:adress,
                street:street,
                zip:zip,
                city:city
            });
            
            markersArray.push(marker);
            
            new google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'mousedown', function(event) {
....
}

and then

mapOnSuccess = function(position) {
            
          myLat = position.coords.latitude;
          myLon = position.coords.longitude;
          glob_Lat = myLat;
          glob_Lon = myLon;
          
          var myPosition = new google.maps.LatLng(myLat, myLon);
          
          new google.maps.Marker({
                        position: myPosition, 
                        title : 'My location', 
                        map: xyz.views.mapPlaces.map, 
                        icon:'images/my_location.png',
                    });
          
          xyz.views.mapPlaces.update(myPosition);
          loadDataPlaces(myLat, myLon, globRange);
        };

now it is showing default location of california in samsung phones and not asking permission to use gps. I have done activating location services, clearing cache etc.

Update
I tried opening http://maps.google.com/ on the same phone and there also google maps could not get the current location. I also tried http://html5demos.com/geo
and it could also not get current position and failed.

Is this an HTML5 problem.

So it's a device issue and not a Sencha Touch issue if I understand correctly.
