I posted this, and then turned it on, just to make sure. The first result was a guy from Stockton on Tees, hundreds of miles away, not the under 1 mile that Fab claim.

So I pm'd him, and he's staying at a hotel down the road!! So yeah, it kind of is working well!!!

You did that,rather than starting a thread in here complaining that the results were all rubbish???

Good thinking!!

What's even better is, last night he was staying at the hotel I work at, so I couldn't meet him for a cheeky drink. So tonight, he's staying somewhere else, so I can!!

"You'll have to give us more to go on than that!

Operating system?

Browser?

Do your other location apps (GPS, Maps) give your location correctly?

Have you given your browser permission to pass your location to Fab?

Etc.?"

Also, can you clarify what you mean by "message in red"? What does it say?

You can only use cam if you download flash. It isn't available from Android market now, so you have to download direct from Adobe. But beware you get loads of pop ups and ads through it, and it will half your battery life.

Good! When you turn on "Who's Near", it shows you lat and lon at the bottom of the page, is this accurate?

I have an S3 too but the "near me" functions differently depending on the browser used and its privacy settings.

As others have said, your phone's location settings must be enabled. Does Google maps pinpoint your location reliably?

Is your browser set in private mode? Is it set not to track your location?

I'm afraid you'll have to explore different browsers and their settings in order to find something that works.
