Should I enable the "use Full GNSS Measurements" option? GPS - Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

I have installed the new ROM based on Android 9.0 and seen it has an "use Full GNSS Measurements" option.
Should I enable it to get higher accuracy?
Now the phone reports properly L1 and L5 satellites but the accuracy seems to be as bad as before (4 to 6 meteres instead of the alleged 30cm).

It just popped-up automatically the first time I used the GPS but you can also find it here:
Settings -> Additional Settings -> Developer Options -> Force full GNSS measurements
(You must have the developer options enabled).

No changes here.

GPS problem on stock Pie

After updating to stock Pie US99830b, apps like google maps cannot find the phone's location exactly. Location on the map just jumps between places near the real location.
I've go back and forth between stock Oreo and Pie, and notice this happens only on Pie.
Any one faced the same issue?
And you have High Accuracy mode enabled?
No option for high accuracy

What's in Google Location Accuracy I see in your screenshot?
And you definitely need to turn on that Low Power location toggle you have turned off.
Google Location Accuracy is turned on.

1) You should turn that on. Helps with location inside buildings.
2) You still didn't answer my main question.

I just checked on my backup US998 V30+ which has Pie -- and it's the the High Accuracy mode. Make sure it's toggled on.

Unfortunately,we don't read as much as we should these days.You could simply read that [email protected] and [email protected] is 2922x1439 (way higher than FHD).
Fake? I don't know what you're talking about.This app has a lot of features and all of them are fake?
Thanks for your review,you wasted my time as well.
Then why you didn't stop at reading the description :laugh: :laugh:
Rather than calling my app fake you could've report a bug and tell me your S20 version..that's what ignorance is.

Is there a command for that? I managed to set "refresh_rate_mode 1" but it just changes the name in settings, doesn't change at all the screen refresh rate
I tried every way I could think on but it seems impossible, isn't that hardware limited?

We're having hard times with Samsung
Hi! I love this app, even tho I think the price should be around 1.50€/$ and not almost 3. But anyways, I have two issues to report:
1. If you select WQHD and a high refresh rate, It works but stops after reboot (OneUI 3.0)
2. The adaptive refresh rate is displayed as "Adaptive" in the settings app when you activate it but when you enable the HZ display counter thing idk in the developer options it stays at 120hz the whole time (Also only OneUI 3.0)
Also can you merge the S20AdvancedLockscreen app and this one? Or at least adding the Advanced Lockscreen feature to the menu?

Hey,thanks for the feedback.
Google keeps about 30% of the total price, sometimes even more and that's why the price is so much but thanks to you I will think about it.
1.Ok,good to know.
2.GPUWatch only shows FPS (I think?) and I cannot control Samsung's software,I can only enable the feature.
We can keep in touch,if you want?

So does that mean that the feature actually works but this corner thingy doesn't display it? We can stay in touch of course

Question MIUI floating windows not working

I have a little bit of issue with floating windows on Redmi Note 10. If I disable MIUI optimisation, they don't work at all. When optimisation is enabled, I can normally use them, but always on display is limited for only 10 seconds. I've recently updated to MIUI 12.5.1 (RKGEUXM) and I thought, that it would fix the issue (the issue was already on 12.0.4). I also found out, that if you turn the optimisation on, then enable some app to floating window mode and then turn the MIUI optimisation off, then it will work, until I restart the device. Is there any way to enable both floating windows and have unlimited time for always on display and still be able to freely restart the device? Or any other way to enable unlimited always on display without turning off the optimisation? Please help.
I think You should definitely keep MIUI optimisation ON.
Not that it's a so good feature, but because it is so tightly linked to MIUI system that you will always get issues if it's disabled.
That said, you can disable Xiaomi's AOD and use one of the playstore apps that provides permanent AOD. Always on AMOLED could possibly be what you need

That's actually genius...
Same problem and I'm afraid there is no way but turning MIUI optimisation on.
For anyone still trying to fix the issue without enabling miui optimization: go to the developer options, scroll down to app section and enable "Any form of application window" or something like that. Fixed the issue for me

Question Any way to actually "force peak refresh rate"

Just checking in on the status of forcing 90hz. Was disappointed to find there was no way to do it when I purchased the phone.
Is there any way to actually force 90hz at this point? I find that it goes to 60hz about 30-40% of the time depending on type of use despite enabling "force peak refresh rate" in developer options, it's quite annoying.
Thanks
Try this one
Cheers
Tom

Not sure if other reply was an error but forcing 90Hz all the time is simple.
In Developer Options, scroll down to "Force peak refresh rate" & switch it on.
Probably good idea to also go to Settings|Display and turn off "Smooth display".

It still drops to 60hz in Maps and any app that uses the Camera. I don't think having smooth display disabled makes a difference when you use the developer option.
Not sure but you can try to set using
adb shell settings put system peak_refresh_rate 90.0
adb shell settings put system min_refresh_rate 90.0

That's why I linked to the Optimization topic. The command you mentioned is written there, except use 120.0 (Pixel 6 Pro). On the Pixel 6 it will change to 90Hz or replace the 120.0 with 90.0
But the OP didn't even gave a feedback.

I have tried that. That is what I did with my OP7T but it doesn't work on the P6.
This issue is directly related to the Camera being used and Google Maps. I can't believe I am the only one talking about this. It drives me mad. I will literally pay someone to come up with a solution to this problem.
EDIT: I FIGURED IT OUT!!
adb shell settings put system peak_refresh_rate 24.0
adb shell settings put system min_refresh_rate 24.0

Question XQ-BC52 - Some issues

Hi All
I got the below Xperia 1 MK iii XQ-BC52 2nd hand
Os version: 12
Build: 61.1.A.11.88
Have few problems with it hope that you can help out:
1. Low battery life.
2. How to set the resolution to be always 1080p?
3. Green tint - any fix for this?
4. Low volume notifications although all Maxed out when selecting the notification tone, it sounds ok
but while getting notifications the sound is much much lower.
5. Charging speed is very slow although i disabled the adaptive charging.
6. How to enable VOLTE without rooting the phone - I'm in Israel and PCS (Pelephone Communication) saying that volte is enabled for my account on their end and that might be my phone's issue.
1. Seems to be an issue on stock since last update.
2. You're on 12 so it is always running in 1080p.
3. Turn off 120hz mode.
4. Dunno
5. Probably for the best.
6. VOLTE is supported only in few cases on 1 III. Or on custom roms.
I am on the XQ-BC62 Build 61.1.A.2.211 so some options may differ.
1. Low batter is going to differ from device to device. How apps use the device, wifi , 5G, ect. It's like having two identical cars with two different owners. One going to get more miles to the gallon. You can see what apps are running in the background by going to 'Developer Options' and look at "Running services' or use 'System Tracing' for finding apps that are problematic.
2. Shefczenko default is 1080, On my device I have the option, Settings , Display , Display size. I keep it at default, never messed with it.
3.High refresh rate is in Settings, Display, High refresh rate. Turning this on will increase battery consumption. You can go to Developer Options and click on 'Show refresh rate'. A overlay on screen will show rate.
Developer Options, Graphics driver preferences, set apps to use system or default.
