Как и вопросы, с которыми кто-то сталкивался до того, как я протестировал один из nexus s (4.0.4 с доступным сервисом google play) и avd (4.2.2 с google api), в обоих случаях locationclientgetLastLocation() всегда возвращайсяnull

}

большинство из них пришли из примеров, приведенных Google. В приведенном выше коде Хава попробовал такой метод:

LocationRequest request = LocationRequest.create();
request.setNumUpdates(1);
mLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(request, this);

а также

LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

        lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.PASSIVE_PROVIDER, 0, 0,
                new android.location.LocationListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status,Bundle extras) {}

                    @Override
                    public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {}

                    @Override
                    public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {}

                    @Override
                    public void onLocationChanged(final Location location) {}
                });

ВonConnected() перед звонкомgetLastLocation(), но все равно не повезло. Куда'ошибка, спасибо заранее.
