Heres a copy of a guide i write for sammy phones on a 4.3 android build.
Have a look and see if it helps for your s4, if your on kitkat the options are slightly different and so please let me know.
pull down the notifications tab and press the cog button to bring up the settings menu.
select more
select location services in the permisions setting.
whats ticked ?, you need access to my location ticked and at least the use wireless networks ticked.
(You can use the gps option as well but be prepared for a big increase in power drain and a shorter battery life)
Open the stock browser
Press the menu button on your samsung to bring up the options, scroll to settings select that.
select privacy and security
scroll to location access, is enable loaction access ticked, if not tick it.
select clear location access,
Fully close the browser, not just minimize, as touch wiz can get jippy if you dont "start fresh"
Log back onto fab and try whos near
should get a "this site wants to know your location msg" and choose allow.
may take a min or 2 for msg to pop up, so just back out of whos near, perv... i mean browse, and try again.

"Mines a Nokia lumia 720
I've got who's near
  Since there are so many people with Lumias, who can't get it to work, maybe you could knock up some sort of guide, like the one above?"
You must be joking! That post above could have been written in a foreign language! Right over my head !
Who's near just works, not because I made it work!  |

The guide i wrote is as basic as it can get to check your location settings on a samsung phone, sorry but its not possible to dumb it down further.
Before anyone starts thats not being insulting its just as its a step by step guide theres nowt more i can suggest or do without further info on where your having problems or what you dont understand

I have a Nokia Lumia 925 and mine works too
All I needed to do was go into settings and turn location on. |

Hmm I'm suffering a strange issue with the near me mobile feature.
It thinks that I'm in Wakefield or Morely, not in Sheffield.
I've cleared the cache, removed reinstalled my browser and tried another browser all together. The issue has not changed.
It's a nexus 4. Currently I'm running 4.4.4, I did initially experience this issue while still on 4.4.3.
Maps knows exactly where I am, so my GPS works fine. Had anyone else got this issue? |
