Playing Pokemon Go and GPS!

Hi guys, i'm almost bying the Mi8 but i want know about the GPS issues....
I'm reading that a lot of peoples are facing problems with the GPS, how bad is the GPS? They Fix with some kind of updade?
Any pokemon player here can help me?
I know this sounds like a cry, but i have an Oneplus 5, and i'll buy a new device soon from china, unfortunately i can't test until the person get back to Brazil. If someone could help, i'll appreciate. Thx thx

I have the same issue, impossible to play sometimes. Could not fix it yet

I don't know why everyone is talking about issues?
My Mi 8 china with miui 10 from Xiaomi.eu has not a single problem with gps. Okay it is not as accurate as they advertise but 4m is fairly good!

You are getting the "GPS not found" message?
Whitch version do you use? Chinese or European?

Humm, maybe the European software version is better than China version?
I really really like the Mi8, but so many persons with GPs issues...
One question, how much accurete is the GPS? You can stay in one place without problem?
Thx for the answer

@thiagoserrao
I have not a single problem with it same as my Oneplus 6.

Speak Thiago. The problem is that the appliances for sale, is Chinese variant. And as the device has not yet been released in its Global variant, many users with the Chinese version system are having problems with the device. All this is just a lack of optimization at the moment.
Mine is already on the way, and soon I will pass the Global system version. Since we will not have our language in the Chinese version. The device is recent, and its development is still crawling.

I come from a Nexus 6P and this is no doubt the best GPS I've had in a mobile phone. In my experience, the Xiaomi is much much better than the Nexus, both faster and more accurate. I'm using the official global ROM but the Chinese ROM was perfectly accurate as well.

after play pokemon go the mi8 gps will lock and no data received with gps test tools
My new buyed MI 8 from Taiwan store has GPS problem,
I noticed when I play pokemon go and the gps not found message appear and disappear
I shut down the pokemon go and open gps test tool
no data will be received
I restart the phone and stuck
I must turn off it by push power button 10 secs
and start it again
then the gps test tool can receive data from gps

Yes, I keep getting it.
Miui Global 9.5 / Stable 9.5.13.0.
2 days ago I installed the "Gps status and toolbox" app from the play store and used the "Manage A-GPS State" option to reset and re-download the A-GPS XTRA Data.
After rebooting no issues for the whole day. Today the annoying message is back.

Don't use MIUI 9. Try MIUI 10.

Sometimes i install the MIUI 10 on my ONEPLUS 5, but i always got the message "GPS NOT FOUND", same problem that you are getting on MI8, i think this is really a Software issues :/. Well, thx for your reply, i really really appreciate! If this problem occurs to me, i'll have to install the Lineage or something like that :x.
Hope my Mi8 don't have this problem :/.
Anyway, the Taiwan version do not have the Band 28 LTE, right?

I unlock bootloader yestoday, all data reset, and reinstall app again . I go outside and open google map, the gps get position soon,but after 50 mins without shutdown google map , I found the position is not changed, the gps hang. I use gps tool to clean and repair agps data , the mi 8 soft restart , but the gps is still hang, I shutdown and turn on the phone again , the GPS live again.
My mi8 is running global stable version miui 9 9.5.13.10. I saw the newest develop version miui 10 have many bugs , so I am still waiting the right version released.
By the way,Taiwan version do not have the Band 28 LTE, just include B1 / B3 / B7 / B8 / B38 / B41，and suppot 2CA include B1 + B3、B3 + B3、B7 + B7.

Use gps mode with only device to prevent from fused lcation service lock gps
I flash the 8.8.7 global developer miui 10
Gps still hang when pokemon go or gps test tool run
Even when camera use location tag
You need shutdown the phone and force restart it by click power button for 10 secs
After some test, I use the gps with only device mode
The gps is normal for 30 hours without hang(gps tool shows no gps, not 28 gps without signal).

I'll soon get mine, my friend is backing from china in 1 or 2 weeks, than i'll test it!

I'm on Miui 10.0.5 and have a lot of troubles with GPS (seems like a-gps is not working, even with all permission and no battery restriction for all apps...).
Did you solve this ?
For Pokemon Go, the compass don't work too (but work in the compass app, so weird...).

did you test it?? i am now in xiaomi.eu 8.9.24 bit still the same...

Mi 9t pro wi-fi issue ( not oppening certain apps )

Hello there! I would like to say a big thanks to this community since i use it for years and it was very helpful .
Recenlty i bought a mi9t pro with eu global rom . i updated it on MIUI 11.0.3 . But the problem from the beggining (and on MIUI 10 ) was this :
Certain apps like zedge , 9 gag and much more dont load with my wi-fi . When i use a VPN or mobile data they work . Also with wifi ( tested in only in mine ) when i update apps its very slow ( google play store is too slow ) . I said to flash a custom rom but i kinda like the official so is there any solution to proceed or i have to flash a custom rom ?

I had the exact same problem. Like, the WiFi was just fine and then all of a sudden apps stop loading content as if I had no connection at all or just load really slowly.
I did 2 factory resets, and the problem remained after the first, but now after the second I don't notice anything. If it happens again I will surely unlock it and flash xiaomi.eu or Pixel Experience.

Oh I meant that I will correct the mistake in my comment.
As for the fact that it didn't fix it, it also didn't fix it for me after the first try, so I tried one more time and it's fine now, but I do have a feeling that it will happen again so I'm ready to unlock it.
Oh, and, are you maybe using VMOS? The only difference I made between resets is that after the first one I installed it and this time I didn't. Don't know if it has something to do with it but I know that one of my friends also says how his WiFi speed seems low ever since he installed VMOS.

Just to let you know that you probably might have to wait about 160hrs before you can actually unlock. The first unlock will fail and then it will let you know how much you have to wait before trying again.

You mean ?? D.n.s in my router settings ? Because i have cloudflare d.n.s.

I have slow speed on wifi too, on mi9t pro.Trying factory reset, restarting router...in speedtest also i get slow results.On the mi mix 3 and on iphone 11 i get max speed on wifi, on speedtest as well getting better results on mi mix 3 then mi9t pro.Sometimes slow loading in apps, slow loading browser as well.With data enabled everything works great. I have gigabyt connection, my router can provide only 100 mbs/s on wifi, so on mi9 t pro i get 20-30 mbs, and on other devices ~90 mbps.
Another problem with wifi iv got is that when you have wifi off and want to turn it on, it takes some time until is get connected.I have two xiaomi devices mi9t pro and mi mix 3.
On mi mix 3 when i turn on wifi, is get connected in 3-4 secons.
On 9tpro when i turn on wifi, 9-10 seconds.
Anyone have the same issue?i'm on global rom miui 11.0.3.

I think we should flash a custom rom... I bet its the only way . Im 90% sure that is software problem and no hardware .. So unlock your fastboot loader to be ready to flash :good: Cant think any other solution

I just flashed xiaomi eu rom, stable version 11.0.5, seems wifi speed/connection is fine now, speedtest are how should to be.
Before i had global 11.0.3.
Can't figure out how to stop animation when click on folders with many apps inside, looks laggy, i turned off animations from developer option, but no effect.

It's exactly how it used to be on my phone. At first I thought it was because of VMOS or the private DNS I was using (dns.adguard.com) but then I set the AdGuard DNS in the router settings so that basically every connected device uses it and of course every other device worked perfectly fine except my 9T Pro.
That's when I did a second factory reset and strangely it has been 3 days since and it didn't happen yet. Still, I am probably going to switch to xiaomi.eu Beta so I don't care if it happens again.

Well, that's good to hear (I mean the fact that WiFi is okay and other stuff). As for animations, they recently added new kind of Android Q style animations, so I guess it's expected that they are a bit buggy considering it's Beta anyways. I mean, Beta is usually very stable and these kind of bugs slip through from time to time but they fix them within a week so it's okay. Funnily enough, the xiaomi.eu team fixed the SAI bug (it's an app that's now required for installing YouTube Vanced) and I don't think the official MIUI team will ever fix it.

Updates are over OTA, so you just click check for updates, and updates are coming weekly on beta.
Stable is current at 11.0.5 wich is ok, updates are very rare, i opted for beta (20.2.20) for daily usage and for weekly updates and improvements.

Yep, youtube vanced is working, just waiting to get ride of that menu lag, but is not a big deal anyway, you can just arange icons in other way or use a launcher.

So the problem is kinda solved i will flash the EU rom cant do anything else

Im getting a fair bit of phoning home to China, EU/UK rom

So ok first off, i really do love this phone. I got it for the camera and for content creation and its great for it...
I had a Redmi note 4 before, and for a couple of years Ive been using a firewall since reading about a lot of chinese phones sending large amounts of data to china.
Now yes my old phone did phone home A LOT. So thats why i installed noroot firewall to keep an eye on things.
And literally every service phoned home. Many services that have no right connecting to the internet.
Now come 10t, i read that because this is an offical EU phone with EU rom and not a grey import, it should be following all the EU rules on data collection... So basically turn everything off it shouldnt contact home.
Trouble is..... even though I have turned most of the things off (outside updating service) many of the apps still phone home... Analytics, MSA DOWNLOADs, file explorer, mi remote, compass, clock security.... and other framework services. All phoning home to servers in china.
Ive not really done a deep dive into exactly what service is sending what data. But Why would downloads connect to a chinese IP every time i download something off the app store.... Or open Chrome?
Well using firewall now to keep things locked down.
Has anyone else seen this kind of activity on EU phones? Is anyone making a clean rom that remove this kind of sus activity?

That's what you have to deal with if you want to use MIUI.
Why not root the phone and flash Lineage?

Don't know about 5ghz, I haven't have any issues with 5ghz. It's fixed in the latest version? At least it says so in the notes.
Auto rotation works fine for me. Have't noticed the issue with screen not waking up during incoming calls but I rarely receive or make calls.
I only used my bluetooth in ear for listening to music, not for calls but I se someone wrote it can be fixed by lowering volume a bit.
Lineage recovery bootloops if you flash it to recovery but if you fastboot boot the img it will boot fine every time.

That's all workarounds, that's why I say these are not minor bugs. I had all of those problems. I had 5ghz problem because my wifi router was set to a channel lineage couldn't read. Lowering volume, and turning bluetooth on/off couldn't fix it for me, only restart worked. Auto rotation and blank screen during calls were also my problems. Well to end offtopic, I'll wait for stable pe or similar rom before switching from global rom. I have pihole set up as blocking firewall at home so it helps a ton with phoning home...

ive also tried using noroot firewall, which worked fine on my old phone. but no matter the battery saver settings, it keeps getting shut down by the phone... So thats not secure.

Developer options? I can't find that...

Ahh found them... Had to enable them first... Been a while forgot about that.

Question Wi-Fi calling disconnections

Just got my first Xiaomi device and really enjoying it, however Wi-Fi calling (on EE in the UK) disconnects every 50 minutes without fail (call with drop). I can watch in realtime the VPN connection on port 4500 in my router diagnostics and see it strike up a new connection a few seconds after 50 minutes.
I think this may be to do with the carrier settings being incorrect. Under IwlanSettings there is a esp_timeout setting (from another device that works on EE fine) which is set to 3000 seconds = 50 minutes. I think the esp_timeout on the Xiaomi may be set to a higher value, typically the esp is refreshed around 90 seconds before the end of the timeout. I assume the operator times out at 3000 because my end hasn't refreshed it as it is thinking it has more time.
To test this theory, how can I edit these settings. On another device there is a Iwlansetting widget I can add via Nova, but this doesn't exist on the Xiaomi. Can I change these settings via adb?
What is the best way to feed this back to Xiaomi?
Thanks for any help or pointers.

Had an update to 12.5.16 this morning and the bug is still there, with Wi-Fi calling on EE dropping every 50 minutes exactly.
I've sent logs and feed back using the app on the phone, no response almost a month later. Do they even look at that feedback?
My first go with an Xiaomi device, they might be good value devices and well built, but the aftersales support seems non-existent.

England using the EEA ROM that came with it (RKDEUXM). They tend to stagger updates so we may not all get the update at the same time. Typically no useful release notes, so no idea what has been fixed, and I see no differences except for the System Updater now being white when it should be a black background (as dark mode is on). So no fix for a fundamental issue of calls dropping, but I found a UI bug almost immediately, so this is Xiaomi supporting their devices, doesn't bode well.
It reports it has Android security update 2021-11-01

Thanks for the answer and information

Not something I've ever needed so not entirely sure, but I don't think so as it just uses the standard Google Phone app and no options in that for call recording that I can see.

There is NO call recording on EEA. Install this instead stock dialer and you will have call recording:

Support from Xiaomi is non-existent.

Question Anyone else?

Hey anyone else with this phone to start testing new stuff on it?

Got the Chinese version. Flashed the global firmware and changed the channel to reteu with working OTA's.
Will write a guide in the coming days, feel free to ask me about anything you want to know.

I just received the phone, seemed like a store here had a issue allowing me to get the phone early.
If you've got questions, let me know. I do seem to notice a bug with the screen refresh rate set to "auto". It wont go up to 144hz by itself and at low display brightness it seems to stay on 90. Forcefully setting it to 144hz does work wonderfully though.

Do you have the global version? Would be great if you could take three pictures in pro mode with everything set to auto and DNG enabled. (One from each lens). My model produces weird raw results for the main camera, I just want to make sure that it is software related.
You can also see in the viewfinder that the main camera seems to be way less contrasty and saturated than the other lenses.
Also: what's your build number / software version?

Yes I have the global version; Motorola Edge 30 Ultra. I can try the photo situation when it's light again. My build number is S3SQ32.16-16-28.

Does Google Pay and NFC work correctly? Is the chinese hardware exactly the same as Global this time?

Just checking resellers. You can get the chinese version flashed with global rom already on Aliexpress for £599 for 256gb. Cheapest you can get chinese version that you will need to flash yourself is £530 and that's 128GB only. So might be better to buy it already flashed. Moto UK you can get 10% of for official version which is £675

Hi

NFC is toggleable and Google Wallet opens without a problem. As I have never used Google Pay before I dont know how to test it.
I would not buy a flashed version to be honest. If you want a converted phone you should do it yourself to learn what you are doing and maybe be knowledgable enough to handle problems when they arise.

You can get your firmware from Lenovos / Motorolas Rescue and Smart Assistant:
Rescue and Smart Assistant (RSA) - Lenovo Support DE
support.lenovo.com
Use the rescue function with your phone plugged in, start the download and you can unplug the phone.
Firmware can be found at "C:\ProgramData\RSA\Download\RomFiles" after the download.
Would be great if you could share the zipped Firmware with us. Maybe on Google Drive or mega.
These zips dont contain any personal information.

Can confirm that for me the main camera also produces weird results in pro mode with raw output. The output also seems to be way more dull than what the view finder suggests.

Okay thats good for all of us imo. I already contacted Motorola's camera team about the issue, hoping they'll fix it.
@onken: Thanks for the upload! I am not 100% sure but in theory:
1. Patch the new boot.img from the new firmware via magisk on your phone.
2. Put it into your new firmware folder and name it boot_magisk.img
3. Open the flashfile.xml and copy paste the contents into this website.
4. Reboot to fastboot, open a cmd window in your firmware folder and use the fastboot commands from the website but SKIP "fastboot erase userdata".
5. Reboot into fastboot and flash boot_magisk.img to keep root.
Maybe you need to skip the other "erase" commands as well, not quite sure.

Does anyone happen to know why oem unlocking in developer options is greyed out?

Might be related to your purchase date. I've read that sometimes people need to wait 7 days before it is available on other Motorola phones. Might also be available after factory reset.

I think must wait 96h, about 5 days
Possible work fasted if reset to factory ?

Damn, that's ridiculous. I guess I have to wait for a little while, already tried factory resetting twice.

I think its related to "Widerrufsrecht" or whatever its called in other EU countries. You could unlock, decide that you dont like the phone and just return it and noone would probably check if the warranty is void.
Here is an official Motorola post on the issue. Sometimes takes up to a week.
Edit: But on the other hand, unlocking your bootloader can not void your warranty in the EU afaik.
