Qualcomm Location Service? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

I have a location service always running even with gps off, it seems to be qualcomm izat (com.qualcomm.location), but in settings I cannot disable it. It consumes 200mb of ram, and a lot of battery, is it any way to turn it off? stoping it just don´t affect it.

Do you have root?

Are you in MIUI? Unlocked bootloader?

yes, miui, not unlocked

I'm lazy to write, so read this, this, and this.
The service is running even with the location disabled because Miui starts the service again every time you kill it (You can check that with the logs) , you know, Xiaomi does weird things to get more info.

so, is there any way of turn it off? it´s supposed to be an option in the settings, but I don´t see it. And what happens if I remove it with adb? I don´t use any location service in my phone and I don´t wanta service that I don´t use always running in background.

I need some help.

Ok, my first thread and I have a questions and I would love to know if any other people have the same problem?
1. Permisisons.
Every time I restart my phone I have to do all the permissions for any app I have again before I can open them.
For example camera. Before it opens for the first time I get greeted by "Allow camera to access the device's location.
2. Locations.
In the past ( read on my m9) I would see what apps are using my location ( for example wechat). I dont have that with my 10 anymore? As a result I can not add people on wechat , even when they sit next to me, they can not see me in people nearby.
Does anybody else have these problems? I would not like to send my phone back to HTC Hong Kong as I live in mainland China.
Tnx in advance

i am not sure about the location.
when you give permission are you checking the box which it states don't ask? or tried to give permissions from settings apps and see if it asks again upon reboot.
if not try that

Just have it again. The pop up does not have the " ask again upon reboot". Where could I find that in settings?

Hi san5324, how did this story end for you?
I have the same problem, like I wrote here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68554364&postcount=13
For me it's not every day that it occurs, just sometimes. But it's annoying nonetheless.
Hoping you found an answer...

Hey so sorry for the late reply, I just stopped restarting the phone but directly switching it off. Its annoying af. I still have locational problems with wechat where I can not send a friend request. No more htc for me.
Thanks for replying. My problems have been solved after not using sd as internal storage anymore.

whats this service

Anybody has any idea what this service is or what it is related to I want to turn it off because it is running all the time in background
Maybe the service for the lenovo experience improvement program. they collect data from you and the phone, to "increase" the user experience in future software updates. you can turn it off in settings - phone info. i think this service is related to it.
Thanks for pointing that out thing is I got it disabled all time and the service is still running shady stuff from lelnovo

Suspicious Activity - Huawei Mate 20 X

Hi,
I have noticed suspicious activity on my google account which shows the device is being used in somewhere in Europe. I changed my password and did a factory wipe on the phone but I still see same behavior on this device being simultaneously being used in Canada and Europe.
Has anyone noticed such behavior from the device and what's your advice on to fix/track the issue?
Thanks

No problems with mine but I do have two step verification enabled with google - not known if that makes any difference.
I also have the two step verification enabled and didn't get notified by google that my phone was being used in Europe as the same time it was being used in Canada.
I did change my google account passwords but still the same issue.
Post which retailers you got them from if you are having this issue. There may be a common theme ....

Have you spoken to them about this? They are *supposed* to be reputable.
Mine was also from Splendor, but I have checked my google connected devices and where they are connected from and have 2 step verification on. My phone is not mysteriously connected elsewhere. I would start looking at 3rd party apps that you guys might have installed.

wipe the phone mught not be enough, if somehow the seller unlocked, flashed it, and lock the bootloader, the only way to get it clean is doing the same thing: unlocking bootloader and flashing the factory image. that's what i would do, and that's what i always end up doing to root the phone

How to enable "Link Turbo" ?

Hi all,
The "Link Turbo" functionality has been announced before the device came out, but since then I can't find nothing about it, and I can't find any option in the phone's settings talking about it or allowing me to enable it or whatever...
Is the function gonna come in an update or did I miss something ?

From what I have heard and from my own experience, it seems to be automatic if you have both mobile data and WiFi switched on.

AFAIK it's enabled by default.
Link turbo is a passive feature which means it does not get activated or deactivated. It is a software enabled feature that will most likely show up on other Honor phone via an update.

Question Google assistant: "...yes, but first you need to unlock the phone."

Hi to all,
I have encounter a boring problem with op9 pro paired with bluetooth headset (more than one).
every time I said on assistant by my bluetooth headsets (aftershokx aeropex, oneplus bullets wireless Z) any commands like "call mom" "open garage Stefano" "turn on stairs light", and so on, assistant telle me to unlock phone first (????). On assistant the option of "personal results on lockscreen" and the one relative to bluetooth devices is activated, but: "[...]yes, but first you need to unlock the phone.".
on my op7 pro i try same commands without any problems. So... which is the problem?
It's very boring, expecially driving, unlock the phone to use it to make a simple call or to open my garage door.

Try clearing Goggle Play Services data.
Clear system cache.
Try a network reset (can't hurt).
You may have to delete/recreate the account if nothing else works.
Play with it... eventually you'll get it working.

Check permissions, notifications and make sure no power management is enabled.
Possible conflict with another app.
Lol, sounds like it's settings could be screwed up by default.
Try searching Google for the same issue even on different makes/models as you're no alone... someone has found the solution.

You can try contacting Google tech support. Occasionally they can be quit helpful... if they choose to.
A Bing search etc may yield better results.
I really try to keep my use of Google apps to a bare bones minimum.
I don't trust them... they earned it.
