Just checked mine, it was set to the default – switched to the Google settings suggested in the article. Prior to the change I had checked reported accuracy a couple times with a GPS status app and saw good numbers (teens fur visible satellites, 3-4m accuracy) but first time having an issue with it, driving in Boston a couple days ago and it had me on an adjacent road in an unfamiliar area in the dark, in traffic. Not super fun.

Be interesting to see if this change helps.

Hope this works. My mi 5s plus have crap gps since MIUI 10. I can’t use the GPS for navigation, only for ordering uber

Mine doesn’t have the A-GPS setting in the Location section. Is it because I’m using an original Mi Max?

Wait and see

AFAIK, yes.

Indeed. Dodgy as fuck.

I just got a mi 8 lite here in the stats (USA WHOOT) and this fix my GPS problems. Before I updated to miui 10 (I believe miui 9 was pre installed) I had updated Google maps to it’s most updated version of it’s self and it would not show my location on the map. Infact it wouldn’t show the map at all but it was still able to know my location because it still gave me written directions from where I was to where I wanted to go.

After I updated to miui 10, reverted Google maps to it’s default state and changed location settings to “device only” that’s when Google maps actually work. I thought miui 10 would fix the issue but it didn’t. Turns out the Uber app is having the same issues as Google maps. The map wasn’t showing anything. After changing A-GPS settings to ‘supl.google.maps’ and ‘7276’ Uber and Google maps have been working. Here is my phone’s info for anyone who is in the same boat as me looking for a solution.

Model number: MI 8 Lite

Android version: 8.1.0

Miui version: 10.2.2.0

This is super interesting, I just followed the instructions and switched it, I haven’t been using my GPS a lot, but I’ve heard many complaining about the inaccurate GPS in spite of Xiaomi marketing the GPS capabilities of their flagships.

Should i leave the same port it had or change it to 7276?

gps.conf is redundant since Android Oreo.

I tried to follow the instructions from the article which said to search for “A-GPS” in the MIUI settings, but nothing comes up except for Location services. I’m using MIUI 10.2.1 global. Any ideas?

Oh good, because I couldn’t find any options like this article mentions on my mi a1

I fix Redmi Note 7chinese using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.discipleskies.gpsreset

I use stock android ROMs.

Yeah, but when was the last time the US government massacred a bunch of people? Or disappeared someone for mere opinions? For disappearing people, they’ve done this late last year.

For China it wasn’t Tiananmen Square, it was a year or two ago in Tibet. There’s a reason why Freedom Rankings Tibet is listed as second to last, only surpassed by Syria, a literal war zone. There’s a reason why China ranks 180 out of the 196 or so countries and regions around the world.

The problem is that China has a long history of killing people and arresting people based on the data they gathered. They regularly disappear people they grab on WeChat and other things. GPS is another way they can track people gathering.

Hello, I was wondering if you found a way to change the A-GPS settings under the new MIUI update? Since it was reverted back to the china a-gps settings after the update, my gps barely functions properly.

Europeans started to reject Huawei equipment as the Americans.

There is something behind the scenes for sure

yeah.. same issue. can´t change it.. gps is a hit and miss for me, to be honest. I was hoping that changing this agps config would give me better accuracy.

Which device is it?

The article explains it, but basically search for _A-GPS_ in settings, and change server address to `supl.google.com`, and then “more” and “save” at the bottom.

On Mi 9, I’m unable to find the A-GPS settings. Installing ShortcutMaker didn’t help. When I click on Try for the A-GPS settings, the screen just access that and get back to ShortcutMaker.

Any ideas?

On MIUI it’s under

Settings -> Additional Settings -> Privacy -> Location -> A-GPS settings

The A-GPS settings point is right at the bottom.

I’ll wait, the same way I waited for proof of the spying hardware on electronics manufactured there, a claim by the US government, that was never proven. Ups

Using GPS test app.

11 second first time fix on default aettings
4 seconds on Google server.
Not exactly scientific but I’m happy.

Good find thanks.

7276, at least according to [this](https://en.miui.com/thread-3466043-2-1.html).

Either works

Do you mean search for it? This don’t work for me.

Still going… Unable to access it at all…

This looks quite interesting, I was aware of poor accuracy in UK with old mediatek chips and there was a fix. My sat nav appears accurate, though more accuracy is usually better

Americans sure, Europeans no. We never owned tinfoil hats. Accusing companies of something just because they’re from a certain country without any actual proof of them doing said thing is what the US does.

Yeah I sometimes get Google maps redirecting me as if I’m on a sideroad when I’m on the highway. Usually corrects itself quick, but it wasn’t anything that happened on any phone I’ve had before. Not a big deal but I’ll see if this changes anything. A-GPS seems to be more about initial lock rather than continuous tracking but maybe it will still have an effect.

Also for anyone changing the setting, do note that after you change to Google SUPL you have to hit “More” at the bottom of the screen and then “Save” on the menu that pops up, otherwise the settings revert back to default. Could be easy to miss.

That’s funny I don’t see any lack of Huawei products all over the stores. American propaganda doesn’t affect me, sorry.
