when i take photos, it would give me a geotag that is significantly incorrect. For example, my address is 123 Fake St. but the geotag would be like 100 Fake St. Other apps that uses gps/location like google maps seems to be fine with precision. I once took a pic and the geotag would say i took it somewhere in the middle east (but im in Toronto) but it corrected itself.
Anyone had this issue and fixed it?
i have the geo-tagging issues on photos taken with the device where it says taken somewhere else to where I have taken it, even though when you look at maps or any applications that use location they are fine.
Mine is more like taking a picture at 100 This Street but it usually shows 100 Two Streets Away
You could try these instructions I got from Huawei
Regarding your query, we would kindly recommend to reset app preferences following the steps below:
1. Settings > Apps and notifications > Apps > Maps > Clear data/Clear Cache, go back and select Force Stop.
2. Settings > Apps and notifications > Apps > Gallery > Clear Cache, go back and select Force Stop.
3. Settings > Apps and notifications > Apps > Camera > Clear data/Clear Cache, go back and select Force Stop.
4. Then you have to return to Settings > Apps and notifications > Apps > More > Reset app preferences. At the end of the process restart the phone.
5. Go to Settings > Security and privacy > Location services > and use High accuracy.

thnx. Will give this a shot.
update: this worked but i did not 'reset app preferences' (tried this first as it would be a pain in the ass to reconfigure each app's preference). Thanks again

I have been messing around with my tilt trying to get to know it and everything. it is my first real phone. Anyways I'm trying to get gps to work with google maps, and it just fails without telling me why. the only thing I see anywhere which says gps is the quickgps. I click download and it does. is there some other thing I'm missing here?
did u click "use gps" in google maps? if yes, and still no luck after a few minutes (assuming you are in an open space), go to options and gps settings in google maps and make sure that it is set by windows, if that still doesn't work, try setting it manually by selecting com4 and 56000 for rate.
under the settings check the first box that says manage automatically
and i think that rate better off 9600
I start google maps, then I click use gps. It says in the little blue box:
seeking GPS satellites (0) ...
for a while, then the yellow box says your current location is temporarily unavailable, then it goes back to the seeking, and back to the yellow box, etc.. just basically endlessly not finding what it's looking for.
I set the settings manually like you said and tried again. this time it said intializing gps and then finding my location, then it gives me this full screen message:
no gps receiver was found. make sure you have a gps receiver (built-in or bluetooh) that is turned on and configured to work with google maps for mobile. see below for instructions
and the instructions basically say configure it or contact your provider to do it for you
either set it up so it done automatically at the options page or
were are you sitting when you try it
since there was another reply while I was typing that, and it's still not working, let me be clear on everything I have set..
start > settings > system > external gps > programs > COM4
start > settings > system > external gps > hardware > (None)
start > settings > system > external gps > hardware > 4800
start > settings > system > external gps > access > checked
google maps > options > settings > set by windows
(i have also tried):
google maps > options > settings > manual > com4
google maps > options > settings > manual > 5600
yet I am unable to get anything
were are you sitting when you try this
at my desk in los angeles. I also tried it in a car in pasadena yesterday
firsly set it all to work automatically and then go outside and try again. space sattelites have trouble looking through roofs. have you not seen enemy of the state
Does yoru phone have windows mobile 6.1 or windows mobile 6.0. If it is 6.1 there appears to be a known problem with getting a GPS fix. Unfortunately no easy answer to resolving the issue. see this link

Good luck

This a not a problem with the phone, but with the current version of google maps.
For further discussion and workaround see this thread on google groups.
Scroll down till you see this and download the GPSviewer.exe file...it worked for me...
At current version Google Maps does not allow enough time to get
satellite fix.
It will simply timed out with the TyTn II.
But there is a workaround as pointed above: Use other application to
get the satellite fix and then Google Maps will work fine.
Here is a good application for this workaround:

I hope Google will fix this soon (please ... *begging*).

Hi Everyone, I've posted this question on ZenTalk ASUS Forum, but it seems nobody have answer yet, so I'm trying to ask for help here. All screenshots related to this problem is attached
Model Name: ROG Phone 3 RAM 12 GB/Disk 256 GB, bought officially in Indonesia
Firmware Version: 17.0823.2009.99
Rooted or not: not
Frequency of Occurrence : always
APP Name & APP Version (If your issue relates to the app): Pokemon GO cloned in Twin Apps
========================================
Details :
1) I already have a Pokemon GO from Google Play installed
2) I go to Settings -> Advanced -> Twin Apps -> Supported apps on this device -> Pokemon GO -> click the toggle button ON
3) A pop up saying that I should register a google account for this duplicated apps
4) I click on the three dot menu on the top right corner -> Accounts for duplicated apps -> Add Google account
5) Then I input the same primary google account I use on the main OS, and also one more another secondary account
6) I open the duplicated Pokemon GO (indicated by a double rectangle yellow on the bottom left of the app icon on the drawer)
7) I log in to the Pokemon GO with my primary google account. Everything is almost perfect, but there's a problem
8) There's a feature in Pokemon GO called Adventure Sync. In short, it helped player to complete a distance-walking-related-task, such as hatching eggs and etc
9) I've walked for 13 km, my Google Fit account says so (indicated by the displayed information), but, the Adventure Sync feature in duplicated Pokemon GO says the opposite, all my walking distance is not counted
10) I did a cross check with the original Pokemon GO app in the main OS. I walked several km more, and it's counted
11) I've checked the permission tab on the cloned Pokemon GO's app info, first it shows blank, but when I clicked it, all needed permissions are allowed. I cross check one of the feature, Camera, and it indeed works, the cloned Pokemon GO can access Camera
12) I re-check the Twin Apps menu on the Settings -> Accounts for duplicated apps -> click either my primary / secondary google account -> Sync data. Here I only found sync Contacts option
13) End of explanation. My biggest question :
a) How does Twin Apps in ROG Phone 3 works?
b) How do I get my cloned Pokemon Go's Adventure Sync feature to correctly get my walking distance registered in my google account?
Hi,
My Pixel 5 was never unlocked or rooted. I recently performed March security update, and upon opening Google Pay which discovered that my device is not certified.
I do not know how it happened, but wondering if anyone know how to resolve this issue without wiping the phone.
Thanks for providing any information!
No idea what happened, but factory reset the phone and device certification is back.

It's too late now, but if it happens again go to settings > apps > Google Play Store > storage and cache ~ and clear data/storage for the app. Then reboot and your device should be certified again. It might take several minutes for the Play Store to certify your device. You can check the status on the Play Store app > settings > certification status is at the bottom

Hello,
I'm on 13.0.10.0(SKDEUXM) currently, stock and it does have call recording which works.
The annoying thing is that it also announces to the other caller that I am recording the call.
How can we remove this announcement (either without root or with root)?
Thanks
I believe I answered my own question. For those looking to stop the call announcement, follow this guide. If there is a way to do it with root and not use this method, I'll appreaciate if someone can point me in that direction.
Install TTSLexx app from Play Store.
Download TTSLexx
Open Settings > System > Accessibility on your Android phone.
Scroll and choose “Text-to-speech Output”.
Tap on Preferred engine and change the value to “TTSLexx” from Speech Services by Google. Confirm the subsequent standard warning.
Open Settings > Apps & notifications > See all apps on your phone.
Scroll and find the “Phone” app. Tap on it to open its details.
Tap on “Storage and cache”. Then tap on “Clear storage“.
It’s done! Open the Phone app, make a call and start recording to see the magic.
If you have doubts about the app, then you can switch the Text-to-Speech provider back to “Speech Services by Google”. The call recording announcement will still remain disabled until the Phone app refreshes its data or if you restart the phone. You can repeat the steps again when the announcement is active again.

This solution is an exploit of a bug from google dialer, i believe google alr fixed it by now.
Hi,
on my new Pixel 7 (all updates installed) App permssion get lost every day.
On Apps I already granted permissions (e.g. Notifications) after about one day I get prompt for to grand permissions again. Normally this should happen only after few month of not used apps.
I guess on my phone the play protect feature is broken and so permissions are revoked way to soon. In PlayStoryApp >> Usersettings >> Play Protect >> settings I click on the bottom menu Item and the app crashes.
Workaround: Disable Play Protect for each app. Has to be done for each app separatly. So not very good workaround.
Any Ideas?
cheers
Timo
I encounter a similar behaviour. Notification permissions persist on my pixel 7 but file access or access to user data get revoked every day. If I restart the phone during the day all apps still have their granted permissions. But if I start the phone in the morning permissions are revoked.
I enabled "restrict background battery" for few apps. After reboot, those settings are lost.
