Google is pretty persistent in wanting to improve on my Location accuracy when I turn on the GPS, and doesn't take "never" for an answer to the question to record "anonymous" location data. Annoying, very annoying, NO WANT ?
Is there a way of shutting Google up forever?
+1 also wanna know how this notification can be disabled. is there a service that can be blocked or something?
this is so stupidly, angreringly, frustratingly upsetting. there should be a box that says "disagree forever". they obviously have their own interests in mind because this isn't an oversight. sounds like a conspiracy? then do what I did:
1. agree to high accuracy mode
2. go into setting and change it to "gps" only
3. disable location
4. enable location
5. watch as you're forced back into "high accuracy" mode even though you've taken the steps to manually change to "gps only"
this is fucking stupid and it shows that it's for google's benefit, not mine.
Wifi auto connecting even when on mobile data
sorry for posting here but i have recently had problem with my OPO. I have my home wifi as a network as my remebered network but the problem is that the phone auto on wifi even when i have mobile data turned on. it tries to connect to a open wifi network even when i dont want tp
easily solved by turning wifi off
as an update, i realize now why every time you turn on GPS, this message appears. the reason is that when you first turn on GPS, IT IMMEDIATELY TURNS ITSELF TO "high accuracy" mode! and every time you turn to this mode, it prompts you to agree.
IF THEY JUST MADE IT FUCKING STAY AT THE SETTING YOU SELECT, THIS WOUDLN'T BE A PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT OBVIOUSLY, THEY'RE DOING THIS ON PURPOSE FOR THEIR PURPOSES! IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE FIXED, IT NEEDS TO NOT BE INTENTIONALLY SET THIS WAY!

there's an xposed module that automatically disables the dialog and changes your setting back to GPS only:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/org.brainkiller.xposed.denylocationconsent
I was seeking and suggesting Mohammad to choose both options - yes or no.
Finally found this module but it doesn't work on my phone.
Seems like giving folk choice to choose permanently this option is not desired by someone up there ...
just in case someone will looking for option how to disagree again after you click once on agree
on my Lollipop (HTC one M7) with google play service 9.6.83
to disable improve location accuracy:
Settings > Apps > Google Play services
click on [Manage space]
and then click on [Clear all data]
be aware that it will clear your google play services settings of course...
also it will start to ask you again if you want to help google to collect anonymous data, but it will turn on location in Device Only mode and then you can just ignore that question about disagree / agree and go back to your application / home screen without answering. Or you can use that Xposed module Deny Location Consent to disagree always

That necro....
After a quick read of the topic and assuming you have android N you can't use xposed because it's not supported on N
On my OnePlus X running OxygenOS 3.1.4 the above mentioned x-posed module works like a charm! Thanx!

Was there a solution to this infuriating "Improve location accuracy?" popup that doesn't require Xposed?
I'm using a custom Oreo ROM on my Moto G4 Plus and started using e-Robot to switch on/off my GPS with screen on/off, but everytime I switch the screen on, I get this annoying popup. I do NOT want WiFi used to "improve location accuracy"! it's GPS or nothing!
I used Magisk on Oreo but can't use Xposed as it causes issues with the custom ROM.

That popup has been added since nougat iirc, it's annoying af but never liked for a way to remove it since I don't use GPS that often.
But anyways now I have xposed on my OnePlus 5t running Android 8.1 so if you had a working module that you know you can try.
xposed for N is official since october....

I've had this problem on my LG v20 driving me nuts for the last month or so ever since it updated to Oreo it is a stock h910 unlocked.
But here's what I just did that appears to be working I went into settings applications and disabled Google Play Store and the services application. I then find Gmail doesn't work Hangouts doesn't work so I reabled the service but I have yet to enable the Play Store and I have yet to have gotten the pop up.
I realized that every time I turn on my phone WiFi - GPS turns on itself too.
Could never avoid it whatever I tried, pls advise?
Whenever I manually turn it off - it turns on again by itself.

In a samsung forum it has been the wifi setting.
Maybe it could be the same here: setting/network&internet/wi-fi/wi-fi preference/turn on wifi automatically (switch it off).
So you could have a look in your wifi settings- should be similar - more or less.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I got probably misunderstood - it is not the WiFi that turns on itself, but it is phone's GPS that does automatically ON when I activate my WiFi.
And there is no such setting for GPS (auto on) in my settings.
So my problem is still pending solution.
It could be an app or a system proccess that relates my GPS with my WiFi, just no idea how to pinpoint the bastardo.
I have tried recalibrating in Google Maps and I also tried this app but it just doesn't work. I only ever get a static grey dot, not the 'live' blue dot.
All relevant permissions are enabled and the thing is set to high accuracy. I AM using the Adguard DNS server, however.
I am in Japan. Can anybody help?

And maybe

And cloudflare?
Which app?
Feedback or a solution?

The fix linked in the MIUI forums seems to work! It's Google Maps BTW.
I had a similar issue in the recent updates of MIUI 10 and MIUI 11 (China rom - Mi 8 EE). Waze and GPS Test Plus worked but things like Whatsapp location, Google Maps and some social apps would not get my gps location. Here's what I did to fix it:
1) I download and open Quick Shortcut Maker
2) change search to "Normal search" and search for "location" (with the quotation marks)
3) expand the "Google Play Services" search result and click on "Google Location Accuracy"
4) click on "Try"
5) Toggle on the "Improve Location Accuracy" toggle.
Done.
Looks like the affected apps were getting their location from Google play services and in the Chinese rom, this toggle wasn't turned on. After I turned this on, I haven't had an issue since. Hope this helps anyone having similar issues. Cheers.

I entered the WhatsApp app settings and removed the location permission. Then I went back to Whtaspp, shared the location and gave it the permission to use Location "when using the app" and the gps in Whatsapp already works.
I have recently installed Xiaomi.eu with Miui 12 and i have an issue in locating PIP.
When i hit the home button while using google maps navigation it makes the map go into picture in picture mode witch is very annoying. Now i tried to find an setting in the maps app and in the phone settings but unable to turn it off anywhere.
Does anyone have a clue how to get that changed?

Hello,
Try to find PIP (picture-in-picture) settings and disable it for Google Maps,
normally you can find it in Phone Settings/Private Life Protection/Special Authorisation/Picture-in-picture
select MAPS and then disable the authorisation for it.
I hope it helped you
I have a Pebble Time that was working well (under the new Rebble alliance) with my old PocoF1 (running LineageOS)
Since I've moved to the X3 MIUI Global 12.0.2 (QJGEUXM) I think I have received about 2 days of full notifications, and then.. only reminders come through to the watch! no SMS/Whatsapp/email notifications.
I installed a 3rd party Notifications app, that also worked for 1 day and then nothing. (Notification Center for Pebble).
When I go into the app now it says "Notification Service Not Running - you must enable it"
It takes me to the Notification Access, where both Pebble and Notification Center are both ticked.
I've tried unchecking, rechecking. restarting... etc. nothing seems to get the Notification Service working
I've been to power settings and ensured that neither app is being restricted.
What am I missing!?!

ok, open "app info" on app which is not working correctly, check section "permissions", open "app behavior", in log find out which app operation is restricted or denied, then allow required permission, it should help; also allow autostart and disable battery saver (set "no restrictions")
I find very questionable this "new" policy in MIUI12 - "deny everything" from the start (maybe not new but for me it is, this is my first phone with MIUI), around 70% of my application (that worked on Android 10 without any hassle) would not work correctly, unless explicitly allowed autostart, disabled battery saver, plus rechecked/reallowed every needed permission... soo hope this help ... I spend almost 2 days in finding out why on earth my apps wont work anymore correctly (as they did before MIUI)

i have the same problem with huawei watch gt. app has all permissions and settings enabled. also in the recent apps i have it locked.

All permissions allowed, no battery restrictions set.
I did just find an "app timer" option with I have now set to "no timer set". that might be something that lets the first 30mins of notifications through then stops? t.b.d.

rebooted to find that the Pebble app and the Notifications for Pebble App had both been moved back into the Battery Optimised list!
not sure if I like this "feature" of MIUI !
my notifications are working now.
i had to disable miui optimizations in the developer options at the very bottom.

not for me. Notifications work for approx 24 hours. then I have to remove permissions. Force quit notification app. Restore permissions.. launch app. Then it all works again.
This MIUI is doing something funky and I don't like it
Yup same here.
I get my notifications back if I force close the Fitbit app.
Im having the same issue with mi Fit, yes, mi Fit, an app from xiaomi, I am not receiving nothing in my mi band 5, I checked all the options but nothing worked for me, mi Fit always showing notification access needed, this is so annoying
Have you tried ensuring the auto start toggle is on under app settings for wearos app?
another one with the issue here. amazfit bip
I have a Ticwatch Pro (Wear OS) and had it always disconnected after night.
I created an exception for 'google play services' in DND settings, and since then there were no more disconnects.
If you are using DND-mode, maybe this helps for other watches too.
my fitbit decides to give up during the day, before my DND at 23:00 kicks in.
Very annoying i need to force close the Fitbit app 2x a day or more to get notifications back

The Miui Menu is a bit confusing... And ambiguous in german - we have 2 menu entries 'Datenschutz' which would translate to 'privacy'. In the first one we have 'special App Access rights' or something like that. There you find exceptions for DND.
I think you should probably best try the search function - 'exceptions' or 'do not disturb' should show you the way, i suppose.
Tried all of that.
No joy.
Still have to force close the Fitbit app 2 or 3 times a day to get notifications back.
Very annoying
Have purchased a Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra, so far so good with speed, charging etc.. however notifications on stock China ROM are a nightmare. Many just simply don't show, despite all battery, notification setting tweaked, locked etc...
The main issue I have is google assistant, it refuses to show screen popup reminders, yet happily makes a notification sound on a reminder. Whatsapp is temperamental, sometimes pushing notifications, sometimes not, sometimes only showing when the app is opened.
Will the EU Rom fix this or maybe wait till Android 11 released before selling the thing. Can't really live without the google integration.
Let me know your thoughts! Cheers.

Change it into weekly EU ROM. I have no problem with notifications and all Google services.
Great! Thanks for input, will give it a go. China ROM is absolutely useless for Western market.
You have to enable the "Display popup windows while running in the background" permission.
Yup tried that on the google app settings, nothing, still just the sound. No notifications.... very annoying.

My friend, there are few things that you have to do in order to let those notifications get through MIUI defence :laugh: LOL
Settings->Apps->Manage Apps
Choose an application
So now you would be in 'App info' (for example for Gmail)
1. Get into 'autostart' and enable both options, then get back to previous level
2. Get into 'permissions' and enable at least 4 permissions at the end of the list, then get back to previous level
3. Get into 'notifications' and enable all 6 enablers, beside that, here you have to get into 'Rules for grouped notifications' and choose 'important', then get back to previous level
4. Get into 'battery saver' and choose 'no restrictions'
Voila!
There is nothing more to enable!
It took me a few hours in order to figure it out even though i never seen MIUI before.
Please let me know if it is of any help for you
Thank you so much! Went through all those steps enabled all those notifications, seems there is a channel error for the notification...
Very wierd, all other notifications pop up, just not google reminder, just the sound and the google icon on lock screen at the time of the reminder. Installing and reinstalling google apk doesn't work either. Nor switching on/off MIUI optimisations.
Interestingly when I first received phone reminders working AOK, apart from MIUI forcing assistant back to MiAi every few hours.
Guess wait for Android 11 release, and failing that try EU Rom...

You can test it now as Android 11 is already published as a weekly MIUI rom (20.11.5).
