Hi all!
I set up a Cyanogenmod Account and tried to locate my device.

However I don't get past the message:

Code:

Please wait while we attempt to locate your device.

After a while a second message pops up:

Code:

We are still attempting to establish a secure connection to your device. Your device may not have an active Internet connection, or may be powered off. You can continue to wait, or refresh the page to retry.

My device is switched on and registered with the network. Data, Wi-Fi and GPS are enabled.
I run CM-11-20140104-SNAPSHOT-M2-xt897 without GApps and Open Recovery 2.09. I tried various previous versions of CM, but with the same problem.

Any advice how to get device location running?

Why are you running without gapps?

Not sure if that is required or not for this to work. I've honestly never tried, I usually use Lookout / Plan B

I prefer a Google-free system and don't want to bloat my phone with apps that I don't need... well at least I thought I wouldn't need them.

Does anybody know if they are required for this to work?

Probably it wants to use the Google location service, which is (because of gapps) not installed.

I installed gapps and deleted all not used gapps... well, youtube doesn't work anymore, I have to look into it later

Nope, I flashed GApps and nothing changed

Just a guess, do you have a firewall installed? (AFWall+ or anything like that on the phone.)

No, I haven't.

Would be nice to know if it's working for anybody at all?!

I would've tested but I don't use it and I don't want to create an account.

I have exactly the same issue with the latest nightly on honami.
I also have no gapps installed.
But I remember, as I had gapps, I had the same behaviour.
