Fix wrong location?

[littlebigman]

Hello,

Using the following settings, the two pictures I took yesterday were way off, as in 4km away from the actual location :-/

How should I configure my Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 for accurate location?

Thank you.

I turned off "Improve Location Accuracy" in Settings > Location > Location Services > Location Accuracy to see if it makes a difference.

… and installed the GPS Status & Toolbox app so I can force a cold start ("A-GPS Xtra Data").

I don't really see any settings in those images, but I also don't have Xiaomi to know what their settings look like. Anyway, I have questions before trying to offer advice.

When did you notice this issue, is it new or has it been happening for a while?

Where are you seeing this location issue? What app are you in, what actions are you taking, how and when do you see this?

If you aren't using Google Maps when you see this, what is your location in Google Maps?

What happens if you navigate with Google Maps or your favorite navigation app?

Have you ever used a spoofing app, to spoof your location? Are you using a VPN? If you're using or have used either, have you turned them off? What is the result?

If you've used either of the above and have turned them off and still have this issue you may have to disable them totally. To disable an app go to Settings>Applications>[insert app name]>Force stop>Disable app.

Is your location ever correct? Does this happen all day everyday or is it sometimes? If it is sometimes, have you ever noticed if it happens more or less after a phone restart? Restart your phone and test immediately, and let us know what you find.

I don't really have any specific advice beyond what I hope you gleaned from my questions. We could ask to have this moved to the Xiaomi threads where other users with your device might have some insight or suggestions. We'll tag a moderator and see what they think, @mustang7757 @Laura Knotek? In the meantime, please try the things I laid out for you, and answer our questions for more advice.

Let us know what you find.

I've moved the thread to the Xiaomi Phones forum.
