LocationClient.getLastLocation() returns Null although connected

iam trying to receive my current location through the LocationClient but for some reason it returns null. I dont NOT want to use GPS therefore i have dummied out the fine location access permission in my Manifest.

Manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<!--  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" /> -->

MainActivity:

  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
....
mLocationClient = new LocationClient(this, this, this); 
....
}

@Override
   protected void onStart() {
      super.onStart();
      // Connect the client.
      mLocationClient.connect();
}

@Override
   protected void onStop() {
      // Disconnect the client.
      mLocationClient.disconnect();
      super.onStop();
   }

@Override
   public void onConnected(Bundle dataBundle) {
      location = mLocationClient.getLastLocation();
       // do something with the current location
   }

For some reason it always returns null for location unless i open the settings on my phone and enable GPS. Once GPS is enabled i am able to get my location. It does get the location through the network though. i dont want to use GPS and i dont want it to be enabled. But if GPS is not enabled it doesnt get a location at all. any ideas what im doing wrong?

If you don't want to use GPS than it will get location from Network, enable it in your device as mentioned in below screenshot
