Does Redmi 7 support Galileo? [Possible support with latest firmware] - Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers

Hi guys!
Could someone from EU install GPSTest and post screenshot of connected satellites, please? Or just if there are Galileos?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.gpstest
Xiaomi says it support Galileo, SD 632 also, but GSMArena doesn't have Galileo as supported and either Galileo doesn't list Redmi 7 as supported, but Redmi 7 Note has full support for Galileo and it's not in the list also. https://www.usegalileo.eu/EN/inner.html#data=smartphone
Thanks.
The answer is: No it doesn't support Galileo. There might be possible chance to have Galileo support with SW updates, so if you have MIUI account ask for it on MIUI forum the developers.
Update 31/05/2019: Galileo is listed as supported on Xiaomi site and GSMarena. No POW yet.

It does apparently

Just got mine in! And it seems like Xiaomi is actually right here. Although the coverage isn't great, it seems like it actually supports Galileo
Can't post the screenshots here sorry...

Thanks! One more question. Is it trully connected to those? Or just can see Galileo sats? I don't know, how that app from screenshot works.

me too - if you know other gps app I'll test again.

Try switch to Status tab and there should be column "Flags" if there is a letter it is conneted to that satellite or it was connected during a fix.
GPSTest app is recommended by Galileo devs to test.
Or this one, you can filter sats to Galileo only

SD 632 has support for Galileo, so Xiaomi doesn't enable it. Same like they did it with QC, SD632 has QC also. Maybe they will enable it later, but who knows.

Seems like they start to work on Galileo support somehow... Galileo is now listed as supported on Xiaomi site and also GSMarena... could somebody try it again with the latest firmware please? Thx.

I am in Egypt...i used the filter function and it appears it is not connected to any Galileo sats...wait for someone else from EU to post another screen

Yes...this is Miui 10.3.1.0

Guys, I'm back with few more info. It is so strange, Redmi 7 has support of Galileo according to Xiaomi and GSMarena, Redmi 7 Note doesn't have that but it can actually use Galileo sats and connects to them with no problems. Neither of them are listed on Galileo enabled devices...
Could you guys test that again on latest firmware? You should be outside and get view to at least 4 of Galileo sats to fix. Flag should be U if it's trully connected. Thx.

Any news? Can somebody post screenshot from GPStest on the latest firmware? Thanks.

Mi Mix2, GPS accuracy

I heard about problems with GPS accuracy in Xiaomi Mi5, so I'm curious if anyone could write something about test of GPS in Mi Mix2?
I use phone to navigate, but also to observe stars (stellarium, sky map, star tracker), so gyroscope and accurate gps would be great advantage
I would like to know if the phone has Galileo support. Please, could someone verify that. GPS Test is one of the apps that can be used to verify if the phone finds Galileo satellites or not.
I found the answer here:
reddit.
Just used google Maps and had a perfect navigation

Please could you test the Galileo support as well?
I did what you asked. I turned off all satellites except galleleo and it doesn't look like it is supported. Here is a pic

OK, thanks for testing it out. Just out of curiosity, did you do the test indoors? Galileo is still in its early stages and there are only a few satellites at the sky. While being outdoors the phone should be able to locate those quite quickly, if they are supported.
It's working
:good:
gps is fine for me. except miui roms. in miui it shows me nearest town or village, in aosp it shows where i am exactly

You completely misunderstood my question - sometimes I use navigation, and on another time I use startrackers.

Hi. I experience exactly the same problem. Meanwhile our twin Redmi 6 Pro is running it perfectly.
Any way to make this work?
I have 3/32 version.
Waiting for official Android Pie to check if it works with no-buttons mode.
Can someone please make a QR code for your Mi A2 Lite using https://vr.google.com/cardboard/viewerprofilegenerator/, upload it to Imgur, and reply here with a link? Thanks!
I have opened a bug report on Xiaomi's site:
http://en.miui.com/thread-4797455-1-3.html
Please go there and hit "CONFIRM" so they start to care for it.

I spoke too soon. The viewpoint issues have been fixed, but the video quality is horrendous. The same videos I used to test under 8.1 look like garbage on Pie.
I have just updated to Pie. Everything stayed the same for me
Which app are you using? I am using official Cardboard app and Fulldive VR.
PS. I had fingerprint gestures working all the time.
EDIT: Well, not everything, but left/right zones are still not equal.

No widewine l1 support for redmi note 8 pro ???

why i can't stream hd content on my Redmi note 8 pro on netflix and amazon prime as well as on hotstar.... And why it is showing widewine l1 support in drm info if it can't play hd content..... Is there any fix for it or any info about when it will get fixed.... Is it an hardware issue or a software issue ???
It is a software issue. Xiaomi said it would get fixed when the device receives Android 10 update.
It should be available with Android 10 update whenever time comes. Mind you, this doesn't mean Netflix HD will magically become available, but it's a start.

Edit: if y'all still haven't found it here's an article you can read over

A while ago I saw this being posted in any of the groups.

Might be worth checking it out, since it allows content to be played without a certified device.

"Expectations" sounds for me like a dead letter.

Camera2 API abilities info dump

FYI
Sony XQ-AT51, Sony, XQ-AT51
Android 10 - 4.19.81-perf+
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_HSfBxDdIs1jsp9d_Ht7a3_3F1FvqTznY5C3TYeDx8w/edit?usp=sharing
In table format:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ggxTnVHuBWB0Gnl8txUGgDdiaCdUPCV-sCwyeB1yr-o/edit?usp=sharing
Only the main 24mm camera has FULL support for Camera2 API. The rest of the cameras all have LIMITED support.
The telephoto camera is actually a 20MP Samsung sensor that's cropped in to output a 12MP "70mm" image.
NOTE: Judging from the specs, Camera 0 and Camera 2 are the same camera. They're just reported twice in the Camera2API info dump.

Also just to add, I have no idea what I'm looking for but I did notice errors like "nullpointerexception" in a log when gcam crashes.
If anyone with technical knowledge would like a full log I can post one.

Can you just post the full error log here?
nullpointerexception errors are the result of code trying to reference something that doesn't exist. So for example, Gcam runs some code on startup, but that code is trying to run a function or something that doesn't actually exist on the Xperia. This causes everything to crash.

Hopefully an Android Camera2 API developer can chime in. I see where the errors are, what objects they're trying to reference, but I'm unable to find any documentation or previous questions on Stack or GitHub that could possibly point to what the problem is.
@Arnova8G2 can u please check on this error log? I think some users also reports Camera Go apk is not working on Xperia 1 II despite not requiring Camera2API. Is it not possible to run gcam at all on the Xperia 1 II?
Gcam would be so fckn awesome on this phone... I love photo pro but i want gcam for portrait and night mode.
