Apps have hard time getting location data - LineageOS Questions & Answers

Hey guys I have just flashed LOS 18.1 on my Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro, I have been using LOS 17 for about a year without problems.
I wanted to upgrade to Android 12, but that did not really go according to plan, so I'm still at A11, but now on LOS 18.1.
But I have noticed that the GPS is not really working well on my phone now. Gmaps sometimes works, and other apps that would like to know where I am don't work.
I tried changing the access right to the apps and reinstalling them, but that does not seams to help.
GSP is working on the devices, as this screenshot is showing.
So I think there is something wrong with the OS.
I have only installed OpenGapps version pico, is there something I'm missing now, thereover it is not working?

Using a phone indoors with GApps you will most of the time not get "gps" location, but network based location. Google knows from the WiFinetworks, where you are. Maybe you disabled something, like wifi scanning or data permission form play services?

I never had a problem with GPS in my house.
But yesterday I got a LOS update, and all is working fine now, so there was something in the OS

MIUI 9.5.19.0 WiFi 5Ghz

Hi guys,
Just got the Note 5 (Global) which is the same as Note 5 Pro (India) except the selfie 20Mp camera...
After upgrading to MIUI 9.5.19.0 I got no 5Ghz connection. Before that it was working.
Did a factory restore and got it working, but after reboot stopped working. The firmware remained 9.5.19.0...
Anyway... did you experienced this?
What are the coolest ROMs for this phone?
Thanks a lot!
Kind regards,
NS
Check the channels of your access point
No problem here. 9.5.19 Note 5 Global.

Change the region to India and it will work
Hi guys,
Just to tell you that I was able to fix the issue. The steps I took were:
- Did a full restore from Mi Phone Assistant
- Used the steps to restore rom
- Wipe + clean install
- Used the MIUI file from official site: miui_HMNote5HMNote5ProGlobal_V9.5.19.0.OEIMIFA_b370a6bc7e_8.1.zip
This way the 5Ghz network got seen all the time. Even with reboot and then updating apps and stuff
This was the only way.
Something went wrong the Miui internal update that gets 5Ghz first, but then after rebooting it is lost forever.
This might be unnotice for many 2.4Ghz wifi guys, which is 90% of people....
This way it works... the bad is that you need to do a wipe and clean install. But you can restore your backup later on...
Cheers guys!

Question Is Hey Google working for anyone on AOSP ROMs?

Hey Google feature is not available on my device.
Is it working for anyone on Lineage/AOSP 11 ROMs? Or 12?
I've only tried 11, such as Havoc and Carbon.
Worked fine for me on stock ROM.

Thanks. You're on the 12 Derpfest?

I thought the Arter kernel was only for stock ROM.
Maybe I'll give that a try first.
Yeah, Google has had my voice forever now.
It all works on stock ROM and previous custom ROM on other phones.
Nope, flashing Arter kernel didn't help.
Dangit.
I really don't want to flash a 12 ROM.
Strange that it's not working for you. It has always worked for me on my 9 on custom ROMs and it is currently working on StagOS 12.1 as long as I remember to enable the microphone by making a call, turning on the speakerphone, and turning it back off each time I reboot. Otherwise, the microphone doesn't pick up anything.
It worked on the OOS11 firmware-based StagOS too. Also on Nameless when I tried it.
I MSM'd back to stock and I can enable OK Google but it still doesn't work.
Very odd issue.
Voice commands work fine after I open Assistant.
It's just the "OK Google" or "Hey Google" that don't do anything.
I even re-trained my voice and did a factory reset and I even created a brand new Google account.
I'm having a hard time figuring out how this could be a hardware problem.
But I do have two other bizarre issues.
Such as suddenly my phone via USB connection isn't recognized by any of my three computers, where it had been fine before.
Warp speed charging doesn't work anymore.
And my cellular reception isn't half as good as it used to be.
EDIT:
I called T-Mobile for help.
On the call we discovered that my speakerphone wasn't working either.
Between all the various issues, they are sending me a warranty replacement.

Question 9 Pro doesn't have access to all storage?

I'm at a loss here. Updated to c61 today, and it's been goofy. I can't install local upgrade (was gonna try to dirty flash), I can't enable RAM boost (not a big deal), and I can't save cropped pics in the gallery app. I'm not sure if it's related, but apps are randomly cloning themselves, too. Does anyone have any ideas?
it kept freezing and i had to factory data reset. i hate this phone now.

Stay on OOS 11, nothing compares, no custom ROM nor ColorOS comes close. Custom ROMs are riddled with bugs, and COS is the same.
Also, flashing custom ROMs might introduce more issues at times. I flashed one and couldn't update properly. Then my phone broke and can't use T-Mobile MSM, it's permanently set to IN.

the c61 itself has a local update in it, with the c61 you don't need the local update.apk and that the RAM boost can't be activated for you (I think you're rooted) with root I couldn't activate RAM boost either.
just as with the c61 the RAM see your pic and mine is displayed in a different place if you have root, just like then (without root) another menu opens if you press the 12 GB Ram woman then extra RAM (this menu is not there with root )

Right on cue, just got my phone working again. I saw this method, and flashed EU ROM via orange fox from Spark OS. Phone sadly got bricked. At the time, MiFlash wasn't recognizing my device and all I could do was fastboot.
Lots of YouTube and 3 hours later, finally was able to sideload stock ROM, then MiFlashed to clean everything, then installed SparkOS again. L1 is back.
I'm thinking the L1 certificate got lost due to Magisk?
Nice, I don't think it's a magisk issue, I've installed and still widevive is l1
Cool! I think I'll pass Magisk for now haha. The trauma!
In any case, if ever I do get Magisk again, can I see what ur modules are?
I'm using sparkOS too, still have it

Got mine fixed. Looks like I messed up something during flashing.

Hi,
I use safetynet fix (needed with magisk) and viper4android

[Mi10T Pro] App selection stopped working. I am looking for help

Hello
This is my first post so please be understanding.
I have been using the phone from the beginning as a regular user. I haven't made any modifications or changes to it (like root change etc.)
Recently, the official update of MIUI to version 13.0.8 appeared and after that the application selection stopped working. I had no problems with the phone before.
For example: An attempt to open a pdf file brought up a window with a list of various applications that handled the file. The same thing happened with other files or URLs. I have several browsers, so depending on what I wanted to open the Internet address with, I indicated the right choice.
Now the window shows up, but trying to tap the three dots immediately brings up a random app, each time a different one, no additional window pops up. No list of any apps expands.
I thought that maybe the problem will solve itself after resetting the phone. I set everything up again, did not restore any backups. Unfortunately, the problem is the same. I don't have any default settings.
What can be done? The problem is very irritating. I have no idea.
Apart from this problem, everything else works fine.
I will appreciate any help or suggestions
Screenshots are in Polish, if necessary I can translate.

Hello, I suffered from the same bug for a long time until I found the culprit.
You just have to uninstal updates of the Xiaomi Mi Browser (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mi.globalbrowser). Sadly it can't be easily uninstalled. Maybe it can be done with ADB, but I have not tried yet. Remember to disable automatic updates from the PlayStore to avoid it to update. This will cause the bug again.
I also suffer other bugs like an ugly and forced dark mode when the battery is below 40%. I was always tempted to install a custom ROM, but the stock camera features (manual focus, lens distortion correction, 108 MPX, zoom...) are important for me.
Thanks for the help. This solved part of the problem. Now I have a choice when opening files but still no choice when opening URLs.
Maybe someone else?
