Hi all
Hopefully this question thread is not break the rule.
Just trying to find some info and help from the community. Thank you.
It's been a while that I realize this Flip 4 have different behavior related to location reporting. As previously use Xiaomi and Realme, I never have this issue. At first, I thought there's something wrong with my Google Maps setup, then I 100% sure it's because of the phone, as I change back to my old phone the issue is disappear.
If you go to Google Maps timeline, it will show you the location history of your phone. With Flip 4, my journey is almost every time showing straight lines, it should be showing the road I drive, not straight lines like flying. See attached image.

What I did so far
- Location allowed all the time for Maps and also Google
- No battery/background restriction
- Power saving ON or OFF doesn't matter
- I intentionally open Maps and not closing it
Nothing is working, Maps timeline still showing straight lines every time I commute.
I try several phones using same account, it's positive something wrong with my phone.
Permission usage history also showing there's very minimum background usage of location, it should be periodically reporting location.
I have been using galaxy series long before maps have this feature and i thought this is normal, on every phone.

Thank for replying, but as my experience is not like that.
This is how Maps timeline look like when using Realme phone back then.
It showing the drive path, following road not straight lines like previous attachment.

I get an Error 500 message when I try and visit the web site. It happens on my Nexus 5 on LTE and my home PC.
I guess it's just me?

Just checked, its working fine for me in California, 8:13 pm Pacific Time.
Works for my N5, N7 2012 - both running KitKat and the older HTC's running ICS - locate and ring her's at full volume.
Check your settings to see if it was turned off - power down & reboot it, try again.

Check if your Location settings isn't off!!
It's never worked for me even with the Nexus 4. Google Location Reporting is on. Location is on and is in Battery Saving mode which uses my Wi-Fi connection to locate my phone. Their app is hopeless so I now use an app called Lookout which is a lot more reliable than the Google one.
Changed the Mode to High Accuracy but still no luck locating my phone!!!!

My issue isnt that it doesnt work, it's that I can't even get to the web site. I get an error 500 message when I go to the web site. It happens if I use my phone or my computer with Chrome, AOSP browser, or Internet Explorer on my PC.
Hi, my name is Theredsunrise and i am creator of an Android app Instago Street View Map:
Have you ever had a problem finding your car?
Or been lost in a city with no directions?
Or just been finding nearby places in your current location?
Instago has a Google Maps Street View window that updates according to your position and orientation, and an Eye-View simulation of where you are heading. Just perform a long click on the map and pick a choice:
1. Put a Pinpoint anywhere on the map to mark your destination place and the Navigation Arrow will guide you.
2. Or get a full screen of Google Maps Street View panorama, if available.
And if you are just exploring nearby places, Google Places service will help you finding them. More info (contact, website, thumbnail) about found place you get when you click it.

Smart idea. Ive watched a show where they used geo tags and camera. Would be cool to see something like that made
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Free mobile app
Gonna give it a shot..
:fingers-crossed:
Thanks..
Awesome app!!!
Nifty! Will buy "pro" if I find I am using it
Comments:
Too many reminders about "pro." Smart enough to read it once or twice and get the message.
Canceling help tool-tips too difficult, but see below
If suggesting callibrating the compass, should offer choice to actually do so from the app.
BUG: Get a spurious map pane over various dialogs and also after closing the app.
Running on an LG P500, using a 4.4.2 Omni ROM. Note that some Google Maps options may not run well on this old device. Maps 7 gives jerky graphics and spontaneous reboots trying to overlay some of the views, and Maps 8 is already armv7-dependent so unusable.
Brilliant idea.
It's so walker-friendly.
Great app! Works like it should, and definitely gives you a better perspective about where you are.
One question though - Is there any way to make the transitions more fluid? I mean when you move around with your device, the map and the streetview display has a bit of a lag.
I'm using a Galaxy s2 with AOSP.
Thank you!
So I've never seen this happen before but my phone started to delete random apps. At first they were ones I didn't really need so it didn't bother me but then a lot more went missing and when I went to use Paypal it told me that it couldn't work because Google Play Services wasn't on the phone. I had a (soon to be justified) panic attack/flashback to when my friend and I accidentally deleted Google Play Services by mistake and the ****storm we dealt with for two days straight until we were able to track down the correct odin version of her phone's firmware (she had a rare version of Sprint's S3, the Triband one and it was nigh impossible to track down her correct firmware). Any apps that get "deleted" show up in the app drawer/homescreens as having a generic grayed out picture with an "SD" logo on the bottom as if they were sent to SD...but they aren't in the Applications list in settings so I think it's the OS not understanding they're gone and the links still being stuck there.
Questions to you all:
A) Have any of you experienced this random app deleting? Is it a sign my phone's NAND is going bad?
B) Should I just odin the firmware back on and reroot or is there a way to simply to reinsert the correct version of Google Play Store/Services if one of you would kindly provide them (I'm on QG5, newest for G930T)
Thank you!

Bump, nobody else have this issue?
Not here. The only thing I have seen that is similar is when I restarted in safe mode, so all my user apps were disabled. In this case, are the apps deleted or just disabled?

No they were deleted, it was so weird. Again, I wouldn't really be that concerned if it didn't delete something as important as Google Play Services which limited a lot of functionality. I found some Play Services version to have it kind of work while I was in Ireland but things like Location/GPS and many apps wouldn't work right or not at all. It's a real pain in the ass how reliant so many things are on that one service.
I'm doing a full re-image on it now, just hope this was one time thing :-/
Hi,
I've just purchased an android phone (Note 8) and had a question about google maps travel widgets. In IOS there was a handy widget which gave current travel times to home/work based on traffic conditions. It looked like the below. I'm having trouble locating something similar for Android though. Since it's a google product surely it exists ?

Hi,
I'm looking for that too
Google Now the assistant on your device. Most call it Hey Google, or Google Assistant. In your app drawer open the Google app, then at the bottom it says More. This opens a profile looking page and in the list select Customize and here you can set many custom things based on your preferences including Commute. It will show you Travel time updates, Updates on traffic incidents, Travel times to get home, Travel info for getting to work, Travel times to places you visit and Nearby public transit stops. Then a list of preferences. It works pretty well. I don't know how it knows when there are accidents but it will tell you that, including the expected delay times. One word of caution though, if you change your navigation preferences in Google Maps, for example I often choose to turn on Avoid Highways because the fastest way is not always the most fun or interesting way, and your commute uses interstates it will show you routes and times that don't include the interstate until you turn this option off. So for a few days my normally 35 minute drive showed nearly an hour until it occurred to me that my last navigation was one where I had chosen to avoid highways. I'm assuming the same is true for Avoid Toll Roads and Avoid Ferries.
So that's the Google app>More>Customize>Commute.
You'll get updates in your notifications, it won't actually show as a widget. Sorry I understood what you wanted but didn't notice that you wanted it in a widget form. On a side note you can ask Google to display your Commute time by saying Hey Google or Ok Google and asking for your commute time.
As the title says, what is Network operator Theme pack? Ive already googled it and there is nothing close to it.
I was looking through my phones app list with system apps showing and I saw an app with that name, Network operator Theme pack and I dont recall seeing it before. It goes without saying, but I didnt install that app. The package name is "com.android.networksettings.overlay.ct".
There is also an app called Permission controller Them pack and its package name is "com.google.android.overlay.modules.permissioncontroller".
While they may mean nothing at all and be completely harmless, the "overlay" part raised a little red flag for me. Ive also been having severe battery drainage issues, but I dont know if that is related or not. Severe as in losing 1% of the charge every 3-8 minutes when using the phone and about 4%-5% every 45-60 minutes when the screen is off.
I looked at the list of processes running in 3C All in One Toolbox (paid version) and the only thing that was a problem was the mediaextractor kernel process which I killed each time it was a problem as it was eating up in excess of %150+ of the phones cpu. I was also rooted up until a few weeks ago when I updated magisk (through magisk manager) & edxposed, then after the phone restarted I was no longer rooted and unable to re-root without wiping all my data (which, needless to say I did not do as I am not in the mood to start over from scratch right now.
So yeah, if anyone could tell me what the strange app package is and maybe help me figure out my battery drainage problem, Id greatly appreciate it.
My phone is a OnePlus 7 Pro running android 10.
Stay healthy everyone!
P.s. I attached a screenshot of the app info window from both of the strange apps mentioned above.
