I got my international note 4 last week, it had latest Miui on global stable ROM.
I use runkeeper for running but the accuracy is way off.
I have downloaded apps to test GPS and it gets satellite locks quickly. But constant use with runkeeper leads to very inaccurate readings.
My vernee Thor didn't have this issue.
Could Miui be aggressively stopping the GPS? Any ideas?
After a bit more research i think i know why, it could be the battery saver restricting the GPS when the screen is off, so I've turned it off so that there are no restrictions for runkeeper.
Hopefully that will do the trick, will test on my next run ?
Wow, didn't see this thread before a recent post of my own! - yes I know I should have searched etc.
I just got back from a bike ride using a Runtastic app and the results were all over the place... did your solution work out for you?
Thanks.
there's a bug on miui 8 based on nougat that GPS doesn't lock anymore if not completely outside and I can't find a fix!
I am having the same problem after updating to MIUI Global 8.5 (no custom ROM).
Before that it worked perfectly.

Hi,
I'm latest stable miui eu.
Since some weekly releases , I've go GPS drop so I flash latest stable back. And drops still present. I have to quit the GPS app or turn on/off the GPS... The drops are random and are sometimes very long.
Do you have the same issue or is it a hardware failure? I use my phone everyday with Waze or maps to travel for work and it is very disturbing for me
Thanks a lot xda guys!!

Hi there. I've Redmi Note 3 Kenzo for a month now. I've problem with my phone battery backup. It have very poor standby time. Even when I'm not using my phone it continuously looses 2/3 percent of battery per hour i.e around 40-50 % in a day . I usually turn off data, wifi , GPS etc after using even though its the same. I tried MIUI 8 Global as well as Chinese (Both stable and Beta version), even downgraded to MIUI 7 on various version, used eu.xiaomi ROM, MultiROM etc but still there is same problem. In some custom ROMS like CM 13 and RR Remix there is a bit improvement in standby time but not as it must be in 4100 mah battery. As I like using MIUI than custom ROM so my problem is still there. I am tired of flashing various ROM every now and than. Does anyone facing same problem. Can anyone help me and suggest some ways of solving this problem. Any help will be highly appreciated. Hope someone will Help. Please................

+1,
i am too tired of flashing this and that ROM,but battery is too horrible for me ,mostly with miui ,I get only 5-6 h sots with miui,
however my experience with nougat cm is quiet satisfactory ,it gives at least a reasonable sot,if u find something pleaaase pm me too.
It's most likely an app that is causing this. Are you able to see if the phone is going into deep sleep?

I tried Wake Lock Detector but couldn't find any app causing the problem. I even tried Greenify and Amplify app but no improvement. It seems its Problem In MIUI Rom cause using custom ROM i get a bit improvement in standby battery life. Any suggestion can you give like Which version of MIUI Rom is better for battery life.
Is there anyone who can help? Please.....
I'm currently on xiaomi.eu rom 6.11.3 (since it is the only one that allows for use of custom kernels with goodix at this time) and I get what I feel is good battery life. You could try this ROM if you have an unlocked bootloader.

Thanks for your reply. But i already tried that Rom. And yes i have officially unlocked bootloader. I usually get satisfactory SOT but my only problem is standby time. Battery is decreasing constantly even without using my phone. Currently using RR Remix Rom and getting a bit satisfactory result but i really like MIUI so I'm looking for a fix. Thanks again.

Use stock kernel with nitrogen os and use radon with exodus
Hi all,
I am using Stratos for 2 months and very satisfied with its function, everything is fine.
Until last month (July18), I noticed that the distance is abnormal. I ran in the park which I know the distance, it is about 5 km per round but at that time, the GPS reached 5 km before I finished a round, estimately 300-400 metres per 5 kms error, that is too much !!!
I have done factory reset and try runnning again, unfortunately an error still occured.
Please kindly give me some advices, thank you in advance !
Kim
Had the same problems with my stratos and the firmware. Also the altitude measurement is not working properly. I switched to stratosfied 2.0.27. for me this was and is the only firmware with accepable tracking results.
If you read out the gpx file, and check the track on google maps, can you see the error on the map itself? Like the marking is not on the road, corners are cut or anything like that?
As it is with gps it works best in an open field. When running in a park below many trees or in between tall houses there might be some inaccurate readings....
Statos had the most accurate GPS of all smartwatches i have had so far. Only had inaccurate readings once when I was in a forest but they were still good enough for getting the idea of distance and soeed...

It happened the same to me. After last released the mileage on running started to be wrong.
When running I change the sport to trail and find it that the mileage is correct.

I have been having so many issues with different versions of stratosfied and even the latest official firmware's, but I agree that stratosfied 2.0.27 seems to have fixed them. Its a pity some of the translations are not fixed but it is still worth it. Thanks for sharing this.
I have the same issue. Sometimes the error is visible only on google maps. the problems is, that either at the beginning or and of the track the gps jumps a some 100 metres away and immediately back...

For me there have been several versions working since 2.0.27 (not all; can write them later when at home). Currently I'm on 2.0.37 and I'm quite happy with it. At this version the altitude is fine and also the heart rate seems to be pretty good. Sync with app is a bit slow but I don't care much about that. Never switched back to official.
I bought the Xiaomi Redmi 6A a month ago. It came with MIUI9 global stable ROM out-of-the-box. A few minutes after starting the device, I got an update. After updating to MIUI10, I found out that this version includes literally a thousand bugs. I wanted to go back to MIUI9 almost instantly. For example, the Hotspot stops working after a few minutes of connectivity(1), so does 3G on some networks(2). Not to mention, the "rotate" button in the notification shade works inversely (blue means off, white means on).
I've been thinking of ways to revert back to MIUI9. I downloaded a MIUI9 ROM file from This Link. So can I just flash this through recovery or fastboot, or will there be any problems?
Has anyone attempted to downgrade this device?
My current ROM version is MIUI10 Global Stable 10.0.12.0
1. A few minutes after connecting a device with the Redmi 6A hotspot, the other device stops getting internet access through the Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi stays connected though, but does not get any internet access.
2. 3G does the same kind of behaviour on some networks. On other networks, it works fine. 4G also works fine on any network.
Reset the device! Might be possible that you wouldn't face those bugs. I also had a situation like you. But after resetting my phone several time. Miui 10 is working great now on redmi 6a. A lot faster than miui 9 and more stable

After resetting a couple of times, I am still facing those problems. As far as I can tell, the problem is DNS related.
Sorry to hear that, my Redmi 6A also upgraded itself to MIUI 10 a month ago but I didn't have any problems at all. Phone works nice and smooth with a bit better battery life I think. Hope you can solve those issues since this is an excellent phone, especially considering the price tag.
I find GPS reception quite bad compared to other phones be honest. Whenever I use navigation, the Google Maps and other apps shows am in other road beside the actual road I am in. Happens on any version of MIUI rom, am not sure about custom roms. Will try tomorrow.
When I compare this behavior to my previous phone OnePlus 3, the ratio of wrong location is like 10x higher with F1
Anybody with same issues?
Same issues here with Mi 8 (dipper), the issue persist with either latest Global Stable (Pie) and latest EU's Weekly.

No issue on my Poco f1, I have no such problem. You may try to install gps status & toolbox and see how was it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&hl=en_SG
Besides, you may read below article:
https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/google-maps-compass-calibration/
It quoted that:
"If it’s really wide, that generally means your magnometer sensor needs calibrating, and since the magnometer inside the phone is prone to interference from chargers, metal objects, and even other magnometers, it’s worth doing a calibration every now and again to keep it up to speed.
But enough bellyaching — how is it done already? The process is simple, and it’s exactly the same for both iOS and Android users — repeatedly wave your device around in a figure-of-eight motion until your direction narrows down.
Once you’ve completed a couple of these motions, your “flashlight” should have narrowed down, and should accurately respond to your movements better."

Thank you for ideas, however my compass was already calibrated well. The GPS status app works like should and no abnormalities found. But still, when driving a car, still having issues.

Wait. Gps app worked like it should?
You mean it can get your location? Or it still saying searching for GPS location?

This is my issue as said in OP: Whenever I use navigation, the Google Maps and other apps shows am in other road beside the actual road I am in.
My location isnt accurate while driving. No issues with GPS signal at all, but when driving, navigation apps recalculate best route very often as it things I use different road than I actually do.
I get vey good fix and stable, accurate signal with Google maps too (Poco F1 EU region).
