Background Location services not working correctly? - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

Something is up with Android 7.1 or Google Pixel location services. Geofencing in the nest, notion, and lutron caseta apps are not updating. Anyone else seeing this? Home away assist clearly shows me as "not home" when I am. Even an uninstall didn't work.
Lutron caseta scenes aren't activating when I arrive home.

Noticed this. Nest Auto-Away and August Auto-Unlock aren't working for me. Very disappointed.

After Android 6 upgrade, Google Apps are acting odd

This seems to have started after the upgrade to 6... I don't get consistent notification from Gmail, I get no notification from Google rewards, and Google messenger does not send mms. Reinstalled messenger to no avail. Installed textra and it works flawlessly.
All of settings for notifications are on. It's very weird. Anyone else see anything like this? If so anyone figure out a fix, by chance? Thanks.

I had an issue with my Chromebook not recognizing my phone when attached via USB. The issued was resolved when the Chromebook OS was auto-updated to version 48.
Maybe it's because of Doze. Change the "optimized" setting for applications you'd like to have notifications in real time (especially when screen is off).
The MMS problem is something else though.

Timeline in Google Maps not working properly

Has anyone noticed that Timeline in Google Maps doesn't work properly most of the times? A lot of times I go to places and later on I find out that Timeline haven't had detected my travel time and location... If you haven't noticed, I suggest you keep an eye on that and see if that's the case.
Me too.
But actually only since the update to Nougat.
Same problem, with the same phone. Some days have no data, and other work perfectly. I have tried lots of reset and reinstall and I have no idea why it randomly works.
It is probably because Maps may be being stopped after your screen gets locked. Go to Settings -> Battery -> Close Apps after screen lock and unselect Maps from the list of apps displayed and see if it helps
Made sure to check that Maps wasn't selected in the close app after screen lock thing, but timeline still isn't working. If anybody has any other ideas they would be much appreciated!
I have this exact problem as well. I don't know that causes it.
But I have a different phone - Huawei Mate 9 pro. That's where the problem is.
My previous phone, Huawei p9, did not have this problem at all...
Exactly same here. Huawei Mate 9.
Someone solve this issue?
My timeline isn't working at all. I cant even view my timeline in my maps. It shows 'Cant connect to maps. Try again in a few minutes'. Anyone else facing this? Any solution for this?
Same problem with my HUAWEI Mate 9: location hardly recorded in timeline. I have disabled stopping of app when locked for Google Maps and any other app that might relate to it.
I guess that HUAWEI implemented other aggressive power saving routines, which conflicts with the timeline recording. Did anybody observe this exact issue on a phone from another company? Having such unexpected and undocumented behavior in the operating system makes me suspicious agains the Chinese producer.
Would be great if somebody could find a solution, work-around, or at least an explanation.
BTW: I'm surprised to see so few postings here. Is this issue discussed on a more popular place?
I've been observing the same problem recently, some days it tracks my timeline perfectly and on other days it thinks I spent the day at home, despite being out and about for up to 10 hours at a time.
Using Mate 9 L29 and its been happening on multiple different firmware versions
Me too, I guess the issue is from the software.
Or may be the google app issue too
I have the same issue with my honor 8, any fix?
I have the same problem with my P10.
Before I had an HTC one m7 and I had no problem at all.
Did anyone find some solution?
I used to have this issue with my Honor 8 but now it works as it should. So, I don't have a specific fix for it and I don't know how it started to work suddenly but... A few months ago my phone refused to connect to any WiFi network and I had to send it in to get it repaired, they replaced the board and the WiFi was working.
And well, I noticed that Google Maps Timeline was working all of a sudden, and it still works. Weird since a board replacement shouldn't have fixed the Maps Timeline it since it's most likely software related.
Does anyone have an update on this issue? I've experienced the same thing since I bought my Honor8 a few months ago (timeline history doesn't work/works very infrequently). Could it be due to a defect in the onboard GPS? Or is it purely a software bug?
Same issue with my mate 9... I've found no fix. I've tried clearing all cache, disconnecting the account, and reconnecting the account to google location sharing, but with no success
I got the same **** ?
I have the same problem as OP with my Huawei Mate 10 pro EMUI 8.0, Android 8.0, Security Patch 6. November 2017.
But i have find out:
I have 3 different Google Accounts. When i delete the two and work only with one, the timeline will be logged in Google Maps.
So i think it hasn't to do with power savings in my case.
Google Maps Timeline does not know how to log with more than one Google Account.

That can't be the case;
I've been using two sony devices for 5 years, with my 3 google accounts, and I have like every day logged in my main account.
Then I switched to the shiny new Mate 10 Pro... FML.

iNTEL Joying JY-UL128N2 - No "Ok Google" in all screens in Google App

So basically the issue I am experiencing is my JY-UL128N2 doesn't allow me to setup "Ok Google Everywhere" or basically allowing Ok Google from outside of the Google App. Is there any way to fix this? I really want Ok Google to work outside of the google app so I can talk to my radio and initiate commands while driving.
I attached images of my settings menu and the lack of Ok Google on any screen settings.
Does anyone know at all or has anyone else experienced this issue or am I the only one?
I noticed the same thing. I assumed it was because it's a version of Google Now for Intel, but I didn't investigate it further. Let us know if you find a solution.

It appears that this is the solution for now:
http://forum.carjoying.com/thread-218-stop-voice-inputgoogle-app-from-crashing.html
Have you tried this? Given the date of the post, I doubt it's for an Intel unit. It might not make any difference. However, the problem we're having isn't that Google voice input is crashing, but that the version of Google we have can't enable OK Google from any screen. Otherwise it seems to work fine for me.

The "Extra Credit" part applies to this issue..but no havent tried it yet.. Not sure if this will fix the issue or not...I'm kind of thinking that it won't.
Extra Credit
When you install 3.6.16, you'll find that it doesn't support OK Google except when it's in a Google app (such as Maps). Here's what I did to fix it, but I haven't tried to reproduce this to make sure these steps are absolutely essential.
1) Do all of the above steps, except you'll want to skip step 2, turning off the auto update.
2) Once you've installed 3.6.16, it'll work for some time, but at some point, Google Play will update it.
3) After Google Play updates it, do step 2 (turning off auto-update) and then repeat steps 5 and 6. At the end, you'll be back on 3.6.16, except now you'll have more options for Voice Search, including turning on Ok Google for any screen.

Does anyone have problem with their phones after play service update?

Guys,
My phone started to behave abnormally after updating to may 10th google play services. I constantly lose wifi and my phone gets frozen. I gotta retart it in every hour.
Also whenever i send a location it says "google services are updating" i uninstalled services and it updated itself then problems started again.
When the phone get frozen the heat increases like crazy and the battery depletes itself enermously if i dont restart it.
When i lose wifi i cannot see any other wifi networks in the settings. I lose them all and it appears as if there are no wifi networks.
I also wonder if this could be a battery issue? I will reset to factory settings tonight if noone has an answer to this.
Thanks. I am on aura 2.2 rom the latest version
I am also having an issue with google play services. I am using sport tracking apps and they all show google play services updating.
Do you also get random crashes and freezes? I checked many forums, it is very common among huawei users right now. It has affected many phones and you can find many complaints about it. But google provided no support right now.
I also read that factory resetting is not solving the issue. So i am not gonna waste time on that and wait for a new update.
But i can tell for the first time i regret using a huawei phone. Deeply loving it made me cover its faulty updates but i got tired of restarting the phone hourly
I had the exact same issues you described. Google Street View, Uber, and other apps would display 'google services are updating' and not work at all.
Fixed it by leaving the Google Play Services beta testing channel. I'm now running version 12.6.73 (040400) and all's back to normal.
On the other hand my P20 is still on the beta channel 12.6.73 (040408) and no issues.
There's an ongoing thread about an issue which seems what you're talking and is specific to Huawei phones. My problem related to this, is that I can't logon on Chrome... More details in the link below

Hi, on my Mate 9 in my Car with Android Auto, the Google Assistent dont run, and says everytime when i activate it: "There is no stable Internet Connection"
I hope google or Huawai will it correct it
Hello,
Same problems with my Mate 9 MHA-L09
It was said that this bug is reported by many people in Google issue tracker. Lots of Google Maps apps such as Uber and Taxify don't work well. It looks like wide range of Huawei devices is severely impacted by latest Play Services update to version 12.6.73. A good news is Google is working on it.
Two temporary solution for an end-user to try:
1. Clear cache & data of Google Play services
2. Go to Setting - App - Google Play Services, disable it to go back factory version.
Restart the phone and go to Google Play Store to do the update on Google Play Services.
Wonder if this is the same "bug" I've been having trouble with. Sometimes, & I can't nail down how it happens, if I wake up the phone, and it could have been screen off for 5 minutes, all night, 20-30 minutes...no pattern, that after waking it up, tap on anything and it might be 10-20 seconds before it does anything. EVERY app is like that. I thought it might have been with Nova launcher, but that doesn't seem to be it, rebooting the phone appears to "fix it". Just dumped cache on play, stopped, uninstalled, rebooted (play store isn't showing any updates, still at 11.xx). I'll just watch it and see how it act.
By me its help Temporary, Everythings run until the next restart of my phone and my smartwatch must reset to
So far, almost 24 hours later, dumping the storage, stopping, "uninstalling" the play services, and going back to the stock one (11.xx) seems to have cured my "lag". Everything is snappy again.
Can someone confirm that with this issue ongoing you can open events in the Calendar app? If possible from an Exchange account...
Currently I open Calendar, select an event, it opens and immediately closes. So Calendar now is also unusable for me What's going on?
Thanks!

Exact same problem. When did it start?
I am solving the issue by hard resetting, uninstalling play services and when i update sometime later my phone starts losing wifi and battery is getting drained incredibly fast. Something gotta be related wtih the play services but no solution yet

Yes it has been fixed (sic!) with version 12.6.85 from version 12.6.73. The big errors have been fixed on software such as Uber and Map programmes. Still awaiting to see if the hardware problems are sorted, (my phone would be hot to the touch to the extent that glue on the phone cover would soften and become pliable).
To summarise.... So far so good.
I can confirm, I have upgraded to 12.6.85 earlier today and so far so good.
Clear now
So far, almost a week into the update, no issues on my end with the phone lagging.

Huawei P Smart 2019 google map and memory?

Hi guys!
I bought this phone recently. Ever since if I plan a route in google map and open the browser or note or anything else the route disappears from the map if I open it again. I have to re-route every single time.
Have you ever seen a situation like this? What could it be? My guess is something with the memory or just setting. Any suggestion, please?
