Hello peeps.
My wife's Mi6 has High Accuracy GPS on, and it does work with navigation, but her SHARED position on Maps is always our home instead of where she is, and her Maps Timeline history always shows she is home.
Her location is shared with me as I see her icon on my phone/PC on Maps... but her location cannot be refreshed though her location is permanently shared with both me and my son.
Any ideas what to do about this?

maybe it's trivial but check if the maps have access to the location

Hi
Yes, if she opens Maps, her position is correctly shown on Maps with the blue dot...
So her GPS is working, but her location sharing is not.

Have anyone been experiencing this? It's been like a week. I'm on stock 108 + rooted
Try to wipe app data it should fix your problem. Maybe it's affected by update or something

Did it but it went up again after a while. I noticed it happened to my dad's Zenphone too ?
Thats a pretty common issue.
Since you are rooted, try installing Xprivacy on your phone (needs Xposed framework) and deny the play services the right to keep your phone awake. That solves it.
At least this is my app of choice for controlling the privileges of my apps. There are plenty of others out there, just try a web search.
Other than that a simple reboot often does the work too but then again you never know when it occurs again. Also try to disable your location services when you dont use them.
Additionally - Better Battery Stats application will allow you identify what exactly consumes battery most.
Seek related thread on forum.
This happened to me also on both my phones after the recent updates to Play Services. The way I managed to fix it is by uninstalling and reinstalling them.

There are several services in the new Play Services that are keeping your phone awake. With the introduction of wearable bluetooth there are new fitness services that are looking for your wearable devices constantly, disable them and your battery gets better. Obviously if you use fitness bands/trackers then this fix is not for you.
If you have a rooted phone download Disableservice from the playstore, it's a lot easier to use than Xprivacy and you don't need to install Xposed.
Once it's installed, open the system tab, open Google Play Services, then untick (disable) the following:
ConfigFetchService
FitnessSyncAdapterService
GoogleLocationManagerService
GoogleLocationService
NetworkLocationService
ProximitySettingInjectorService
UserPresenceService
WearableControlService
WearableService
WearableSyncService
then reboot your phone.
Disabling these from running should have no impact on your phone, it doesn't for me, and will give you 10-15% more battery life.
Hello Guys,
I have a really annoying problem.
When I'm at home Google continuous switch between my real position (Home) and another place in Italy (Pesaro) (I''ve never been to Pesaro).
I have at home My Nest thermostat and Philips HUE and at least 10 times during the evening the light will be switched off because it sense that I'm not at home (Wrongly).
I have tried with High accuracy, low Accuracy and "Only position".
With only position use the GPS and It works but inside buildings is not working.
With High Accuracy is working, but when the phone goes to sleep when in standby, the map will goes wrongly to Pesaro.
With low battery the problem is really presente and it stay very often to the wrong position.
In google History there is no sign of Pesaro (For google Location History i've never been there).
The problem is only present in my home and near the home.
With wifi off and 3g on the problem is more present.
How can I solve that? Any advice?
I tried GPS Fix but is not working.
Simone
It looks like Google Maps has got a wrong default location and this looks to be an issue that has arisen from 2013 when Google stopped users changing their default location. The only test I can think of is to download offline maps for an area round your home and the area around Pesaro and then with "phone", wifi and gps switched off open Maps and see which map opens - It may not work since the phone may well hold its last recorded location for faster location fixing..
From your post I'm assuming that you've checked your home and work locations and roamed around all the location related bits of your Google account ( https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin )

The account is all secure.
I have already downloaded the Offline Home maps from google.
Never tried do download also the Pesaro one.
I try checking about default location.
See this thread (started 12 aug 2015 and still active today!) https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/maps/NfH94fJ6KUU;context-place=forum/maps. The issue appears to be that Google's wifi location database records the MAC address of your router as being in Pesaro. An accurate GPS position overrides the wifi location but "sleeping" causes the wifi location to be restored. Claimed fix method in earlier posts but summarized in this post https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/maps/NfH94fJ6KUU/JtidQZ_WCAAJ
So I'm not sure when, exactly, it stopped working because by habit I tend to utilize the fingerprint reader every time I pick up the phone...
But I just noticed that despite working when I originally got the phone, the Smart Lock I have set for my house (location), it's now not remaining unlocked when I'm home. I'm always having to unlock the phone even when I'm here.
I checked to make sure location was on... I've tried both the High Accuracy setting as well as the Battery Saver settings. And I've checked to make sure my home address is still listed in the Smart Lock locations.
Anyone know what might be going on? I don't think I changed anything but maybe I did something by accident? Anyway, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Have you tried to delete and add the location to smart lock again?
I've had to do that with bluetooth in the past, maybe it will work with this.
Exchange interference
This same issue happened to me...but I discovered it was due to adding an exchange mail account allowing my company to manage my security which disabled smart Lock.
I am using the Outlook app instead of exchange now.

The outlook app does not enforce the Exchange requirements for device administration?
Delete and re-add your "Home" location, through Google maps. NOT through settings. Again I emphasize through Google Maps. This is what I needed to do to get location based Smart Lock working properly again.
This will work periodically, but it's extremely frustrating the other 90% of the time. I've deleted and reset the locations, add new ones from different parts of the house, etc.
Any new suggestions? It hasn't worked well in for a long time. I have the pixel 2.
Anybody fixed the issue? For me it seems like it stops working after midnight, I set it up(well, again) during the day and it works perfectly, I wake up in the morning and its not working at all. I saved the location using google maps but it didnt help. Happens every day.

I've had similar issues in the past. After some Googling, seems like many people have the same problem. Seems like an issue with Smart Lock itself. It's been hit or miss for me and works whenever it feels like it.
I recently switched to Carbon ROM and it's been perfectly fine so far, not sure if a clean flash was the fix or the ROM.
The best troubleshooting step that has worked for me in the past is disabling then enabling Smart Lock in Trust Agents.

Wow, Thank you!
I had been hating on my Pie P2-XL because it kept locking inside Home.
Your suggestion cured it.
Hi Everyone,
Just upgraded from the Mi Max 2 to the Mi Max 3 and whilst I'm quite happy with the device, Network-based location does not seem to work, although GPS-based does.
Does anyone else have this problem? Am I missing some setting that might be new in Oreo?
Cheers
whats your rom?

I have the same problem.
China version. Miui 9.6.12.0
I´ve been reading and looks like china version only supports Baidu network location. I think ill have to wait 700h to unlock the phone and change the room or root it
Now with xiaomi.eu miui01 beta the problem persists
Is this the same as a-gps or is it two seperate things?
I opened settings and set location to "Battery saving".
I also disabled assisted gps further down and it still displays my correct location.
And Google maps does display my correct location and the compass calibrated it self in maps.
Is there any apps you can use to check this other than maps?
GPS status seem to be more focused around GPS even if it does display a toast that it downloaded a-gps data when launching.
They are two different things.
Maps, Pokémon go, and apps for testing Network location can't locate me. Only weather app seems to know where I am

Hi I'm in the same situation, i have a work badge and even if it uses NFC technology (i got this from the badge provider) I'm not able to detect anything with my phone nor a ACR122U reader, the badge simply is not detected at all.
I'm just speculating here but i think that maybe the reader has to broadcast a specific authentication key in order to "activate" the badge and get a response. My next step is to try to sniff the comunication between a valid reader and the card and see if this theory hold up.
