[Q] Is my geolocalization broken?

Hello everyone.
I've been checking something and it looks lik my geolocalization via 3G networks is broken.
I'm running stock unrooted.
I have H / 3G full bars.
I have geolocalization turned on, battery saving settings as the GPS would not locate me in the building and also because I do not want a 10 feet pinpoint nor turn by turn navigation, so battery saving is exacly what I need.
I also have location publishing turned on.
Yet Maps or Tasker are completely unable to locate me....:crying:

}

Without touching anything it's working again....bah....

Not working once again....sigh....
Actually it's even worse today, when i press the locate me icon it doesn't say unable to locate me, it thinks that Im at work, but I'm not since 3 hours and 50 kilometers...
After a reboot it finds me...how can I check what was messed up? Kinda worrying considering that I've all stock unrooted...

Am I the only one with localization issues over 3g?...

Android Pie - Wi-Fi Issues

I don't know if you guys are encountering the same difficulty as I with certain apps, the problem in the case is that they only connect to the data mobile and Wi-Fi just do not work. I saw that the problem also occurs in One + and some Pixel, all with the Pie version.
After a long time trying to solve the problem, trying everything, formatting everything, trying on different Wi-Fi networks, and nothing worked.
The applications I had a problem with were: Netflix, Twitter, some websites, speed meters like SpeedNet, and so on ...
For now the only solution I found was using AFWall + firewall and disabling IPv6 for the entire system, the following link and configuration is below:

In the application preferences, in Rules / Connectivity leave it as it is in the screenshots

WiFi MAC Randomization option

I have an issue connecting to my companies VPN and I suspect it's due to the MAC randomization feature.
I'm currently running Android 10 and can't find the setting anywhere. I even enabled developer options, but nothing there under Networking either.
Can anyone confirm if this setting is available in Android 11 or 12? Thanks!

I would look for the random mac address in the advanced settings of the wifi connection to the router. After connecting to the router of course.

Of course I should have checked that by now, lol.
The MAC tied to my DHCP assignment is indeed NOT randomized.
Not sure what the deal is with my VPN, as it works fine via the cellular network, just not over WiFi (no matter what network I'm on).
I'm still curious if this setting is included in Android 12. I may have to upgrade sooner than later to troubleshoot this one.

Usb permission for a web camera?!

Hello,i'm very sorry if this is the wrong location for this question/problem..
I have a Lenovo Android tablet in my car that use as a multimedia device. Now i want to install a backup camera by using usb web camera. Everything is just the way i want it..i even bought a app called Usb Camera Pro that starts on its own when the signal appears,and turns off when the signal is not there.
Only problem i'm having is when i connect the device (web camera,Easycap..whatever) it always asks for a permission to use that usb device..so every time i want to use it as a backup camera i need to click on screen and than start the app on my own! When the signal is not there the app turns off on its own.
I even tried a custom Rom today,and it's the same.
Can someone please help me to turn that off?
I asked the app developer and he told me that is the problem with the system,not his app,and that he don't have the solution.
