Hi guys,

Any progress on this issue? Anyone tried latest NOS maybe? I switched back from NOS Oreo to NOS Nougat because of this...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] darrenlimch:
Ok guys,

Please take note this will make u lost your IMEI somehow mine is missing but i did have a backup so i can restore it anytime. Without IMEI it doesn't affect me at all.

This method is weird so, backup before you do it. Not responsible for anything happen

1) boot into FASTBOOT

2) connect to computer use ADB and key in this

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.BIN

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot reboot

The nonhlos.bin can be found inside a official miui rom and flashing the non hlos is not necessary.

Test your gps after that it should work. Please report back ;)

I fixed gps problem by installing F-Droid,than GPSfix extension,selected my country and voila...When u're in house etc. or when its clody weather its hard for GPS for 3D fix. Btw Im on Cardinal latest Oreo 8.1 build and 8.1.11 miui firmware.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] jimakos98:
or even better just download "GPS fix" from google play and press start fix and let it for 10 mins.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] darrenlimch:
This method doesn't work. And it only work for one days. And ppl like me have no time to wait for it to fix before moving :p

Some ppl lucky enough that they dont even have any bugs. I actually suspect its hardware compatibility issues. Blame xiaomi for that maybe? Hahaha
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] irontech:
simple, use Device only as agps given problem often (depend on the agps mood?).

I also removed miui built in compass as it shown compass accuracy high to low from gps test app (suspect this causing the gps locking issue too).

now waze locking every time within few seconds.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] darrenlimch:
I assume you are talking bout miui in nougat. So you mean after u disable compass and use device only mode the gps jssues is fixed?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] irontech:
tested on aosp extended, rr or miui also same redmi agps problem. Once on Device only, it solved. Built in miui compass app accuracy used to jumping mid low until need calibration thus I removed it and after using GPS test app compass always show high accuracy, this the reason avoid conflict, I guess. Right now Device only gps rare will take 1 minute get 3d fixed, at least don't need reboot or airplane mode.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] darrenlimch:
Hi Thanks for you suggestions, will test it soon
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] tom jp:
Any progress, GPS bug is really annoying
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] darrenlimch:
In MIUI , choosing DEVICES ONLY mode the gps lock very fast....He is right about the AGps setting is messed up.

I got no issues on stock miui mm bro, problem is with custom roms (nos)

Hahah, I know stock miui Mm rlm works fine, but my title mention is miui nougat ?, in the ported miui nougat it have gps issues tho:crying:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] tom jp:
Did you fix issue on nos oreo

---------- Post added at 11:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

My volte won't work unless I restore the modem

And yes efs will be gone too
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] tom jp:
Did volte worked for you after restoring efs
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] darrenlimch:
I dont use volte so not sure:p
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] jayaram95:
From what I have noticed, custom ROMs seem to be missing "something" that MIUI has in it's system.

I flashed Xiaomi.EU rom, used it for a few days with GPS working perfectly. Then I made a nandroid backup, flashed a few custom ROMs, used them for a few days with the GPS locking issue starting to appear after I switched from the first custom ROM flashed after MIUI. Finally, when I restored the old Xiaomi.EU rom backup (only system, data and boot partitions were restored, didn't touch firmware or anything else) GPS was back to normal, i.e super-quick gps lock, even indoors.

Even in the custom ROM flashed right after MIUI (flashed after getting a GPS lock in MIUI), I have sometimes noticed that the first GPS lock after a reboot takes a long time. Thereafter it's quick.

All the custom ROMs that I tried during this time were 7.1.2 based ROMs, not even Oreo ones.

I was using a Moto G 1st gen (falcon) before buying Kenzo. Even in that device, when you switched to custom ROMs from the stock ROM, GPS used to break at times, failing to detect even a single satellite. The issue could be solved by erasing modemst1 and modemst2 from fastboot, and that never broke IMEI or EFS. Thereafter it would work perfectly, and I've done this a lot of times in that device. Strange that in the case of Kenzo, doing this is erasing IMEI as OP [MENTION=8170493]darrenlimch[/MENTION] had noticed.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] tom jp:
The main problem is that after doing the above method and after restoring efs volte stopped working
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] darrenlimch:
Hahhaha actually for me in Malaysia our telco don't support volte for mid range or low range device. Only Samsung iPhone is supported. Thats why VOLTE is not necessary for me:p Still searching for a method to fix this.... Wish me luck:D hhahaha
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] tom jp:
Bro , i flashed hlos.bin from latest build of miui . So after restoring efs my volte was working . But gps issue isn't still fixed . Bro pls tell me which twrp you are using and which ROM and build. This method didn't work with nitrogen 20th Feb build
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] darrenlimch:
Flash hlos.bin accurately doesn't make a difference, you must erase the modest only the GPS will work....Then ur volte and ur imei will be gone again :confused:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] tom jp:
What, so I must not restore efs after doing these above method . I followed those steps and also after that restored efs

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

Can't I restore efs for gps working
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] darrenlimch:
I dint restore EFS after the trick.... Btw you can try??? And tell me will the gps works ? i haven't test tho
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] tom jp:
Didn't work

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------

Also how did you know your gps was working without data
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] darrenlimch:
Does u mean VOLTE = DATA? Well.maybe for your country, my country only high end phone support volte. Even i dont have imei i still able to use my data.

But if you are really talking bout gps working without data, then yes, gps can work without data but FASTER with data by downloading AGPS from specific server to speed up the gps locking speed. U can try turn off all.network connection and ur gps will still working
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] tom jp:
I know I have been bothering you too much. But will you mind to restore your efs and check whether gps works
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] darrenlimch:
Its fine, btw i using the flash MIUI then NOS methos so my gps working perfectly now without any patch....will do it soln after my gps broke agaim :highfive:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] tom jp:
Bro, when I flashed stock miui ROM before flashing nos, gps actually worked earlier, but now with latest nos even flashing miui didn't help. By the way which twrp did u use
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] darrenlimch:
Hmmm still work for me, flashed miui boot into miui get a gps lock from GPS TEST apps, then clean flash to NOS.

Im using Redwolf TWRP btw :fingers-crossed:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] tom jp:
When I use redwolf twrp to flash miui the problem is my system gets encripted and redwolf recovery is replaced by miui recovery. I tried flashing stock miui global Dev 8.2.8
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] darrenlimch:
Encryption is not done by recovery, its done by system (rom) to protect user data. Ur recovery replace by miui? Ur bootloader unlocked official or un official, its only happen to unofficial unlocked bootloader. Btw, if you flash rom via fastboot then no matter official or Unofficial also will be replaced.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] jayaram95:
Flash lazyflasher along with MIUI to prevent forced encryption. Or else flash magisk (along with miui zip, before booting) as it does the same. If you're flashing it to just fix the GPS issue, you can flash Xiaomi EU ROM for that as well.

Also, delete the emmc_appsboot.mbn file from firmware_update folder, just to be on the safer side, as it sometimes messes up by relocking BL.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] tom jp:
Bro when I flash miui it automatically reboots(redwolf)

Got no issues with zcx
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] jayaram95:
Seems strange. Try with official TWRP. I flashed MIUI 9 stable through official TWRP a few days back without issues. Or else, try flashing Xiaomi EU ROM, it always flashes fine for me, without any tantrums.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] tom jp:
Are u using redwolf to flash miui
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] tom jp:
Bro I need ur help bcz u are the only guy who solved the gps bug as far as I know. Can u pls tell by using which twrp u flashed miui , which build of nos u tried and which version of stock ROM u tried and also steps included for flashing stock rom
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] darrenlimch:
I flashed MIUI using redwolf as well. It doesn't really matter in which build of NOS, im using the 20th Feb build now with the flashing method i mention and it still works.

Steps to Flash :

1) Format Data and also Wipe everything

2) Flash official miui rom

3) Boot into the rom and get a GPS lock using any GPS Test apps

4) Boot back into recovery, Format Data, Wipe Everything

5) Flash NOS

Good luck :D:highfive:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] tom jp:
It worked bro, thanks

I forgot to get a 3d fix on stock rom that's why I didn't get gps properly working

Latest build of NOS has fixes the GPS issues, feel free to try it
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] IchRocke:
Hi, I had the exact same issue on EPIC ROM 9.1.2.0 Based on MIUI stable global v2, as soon as I switched back to the same EPIC ROM 7.12.28 Based on MIUI developer global, everything worked fine !

On the "buggy rom" GPS would work for 1/2 weeks (it seems) and then fix was super slow even with 12+ sattelites in sight.

On the other rom everything is fine.

I also tried many things : calibrate compass before using GPS, using GPS toolbox or GPS Fix, using the built-in force AGPS data or the GPS Toolbox AGPS updater, nothing worked.

The only thing that really made it work as it should was using the other rom (which is almost the same ... but I don't know why it works now)

I always did a clean install (on the buggy and the working rom) so that wasn't the issue either.

Maybe you can try this release EPIC ROM 7.12.28 Based on MIUI developer global and see if things change for you.

Good Luck !

Edit : On the "buggy rom" I was using the default Kernel (Agni 12 something I think, and even tried to update it to 12.2 latest avaiable at that time, on the working rom I'm still on default kernel which is Agni 11.5, don't know if it makes a difference but I'm not touching anything, I don't want to break it :p )
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] jayaram95:
Sorry for the lazy question, but have you tried it? Is GPS working perfectly even after flashing? No need to flash MIUI everytime? Thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] darrenlimch:
Before that i am using nos with miui fix method. But today i clean flash only nos and it worksssss so i believe it has been fixed. Can read the change log it also say fixed
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] ramastah:
is miui method not work for other custom rom except nitrogen os?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] jayaram95:
It should work for all custom ROMs. Just that it's not required for NOS anymore, as it has been fixed.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] ramastah:
is firmware and gapps is important?

because my gps still crazy, even with miui+nos
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] zimmbadroid:
With latest NOS? If not yet, update to latest NOS. Also it won't hurt to update firmware, gapps has nothing to do w/ location.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] ramastah:
yes, im using latest nos with march security patch.

which firmware are you using?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] irontech:
current system back to miui V8.0.6.0.LHOMIDG, gps work flawlessly. miui (v7.1.8 - v8.0.6.0) lollipop only bother me is the wifi 5ghz only accept channel 36-48, which is fine as could make changes on the router part.

Been tried all miui marshmallow and with my best guess, miui marshmallow wifi 5ghz seem conflict with the gps 5ghz channel.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] darrenlimch:
Hi,

Not to be rude but, we are discussing bout MIUI in Nougat.

Miui in marshmallow (official) work flawlessly and we know that, just custom rom ported from Mi Max which is MIUI NOUGAT that have gps issues. Wifi have 5ghz, yes correct, but gps doesn't have 5ghz, is two micro devices which SHOULDN'T be related. And we are discussing bout GPS not wifi..:p

Btw still thanks for you info ya:highfive:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] ramastah:
tried flash miui 8.5.6.0 via fastboot > boot > install gps lock then launch it > reboot twrp > wipe all except external storage> flash custom rom(nos,aosip,cosmicos)> check gmaps

Wow... But I am not getting, Kenzo here

Can you tell me which is your firmware version pls

Is it stable or beta

I am unofficially unlocked, is it a problem?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] darrenlimch:
Ok let me be honest, firmware doesnt do sh*t to GPS. trust me...

Before the GPS issues has been pointed out at mid of last year, i already discovered and try my best to solve which i could until february of this year.... It is DEFINTELY not firmware issues. I use to flash firmware like each and every version, from china to global... Its useless... Clean flash, try different rom. But the issues has been fix FINALLY since February by xyyx and others. Since that, gps works super fine like in MIUI.

I "SUSPECT" its hardware issues more. GPS issues for MI Devices has been raised since xiaomi launched their phone, rumor says that they use super duper lots of different supplier to build their phone. This might be your issues.

I believe i saw a thread before at this forum, is a Magisk Module to fix GPS. That does work for me (last time) but it might work for you? Give it a try.

I couldnt provide you link due to im currently studying for my exam. So, Good Luck ;):highfive:

Edit,

Im OFFICIALLY unlocked. :) I believe this is not the issues also as it have nothing to do with the GPS chipset setting here.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] diz_007:
Thanks bro. Really appreciate, and good luck for your exams.

I tried the magisk module. ( The zip is not working,but I manually replaced GPS.conf file)

I got a GPS lock after doing as per instructions of the said module. It was taking more than 10 minutes to lock.

I am now looking for a quick lock method something like 2 minutes I can wait.

I didn't change fw, I downloaded your version and I will check it tomorrow, but I loose the hope because u said it doesn't matter, anyway will try.. my device is the first lot of Xiaomi, very old now! I also suspect hw issues, but it locked in ten minutes after the module, so can we rule out hw issues?

Also kernal I am using stock RR. Do I need to try Agni or something?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] darrenlimch:
I try diff kernel last time, which doesn't work too :crying: But i couldn't guarantee, maybe after the February fix it might work? It make more sense kernel have something to do with GPS module, atleast more than Firmware.;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] darrenlimch:
Hi, Im Back to this thread again.

Is it just me or the issues has coming back again? Using latest AEX the GPS is like back to last time. Take super long time to fix.

Anyone have the same issues or just me?

Regards,

Darren Lim
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] fradeen:
i can confirm, using latest AEX gps taking like forever to lock location.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Son-j:
Hi everyone. Just wondering if someone has successfully reenabling Miracast in ST with nougat .

The build.prop fix only works on marshmallow and earlier. It doesn't work anymore on upgrades 5.0 and above.

Contrary to most beliefs, this isn't Android flavor issue (since Google has totally ditched Miracast support since marshmallows). My xiaomi phone is on nougat and yet Miracast still works flawlessly with MS wireless display adapter, in fact waaaay better than windows 10.

I've checked in XDA that other devices on nougat (Sony and Moto, and to some extent Samsung) have their own specific fixes already. Most of their solutions don't apply to ST that's why I couldn't even test it.

Thanks I'm advance. :)

The Lumia 950 XL handily won out here. Those ZEISS optics are on another level. And evidently so:

The second link is between the Lumia 950 XL and the Pixel 2XL...and even the 2XL gets beat by this thing. FYI the Lumia 950 XL is a two-year-old phone. Wow... I've talked about the extent to which cameras have improved recently, but I did not realize how much better the cameras of certain older devices could be compared to everything else on the market today. Those Lumia phones from two-three years ago were on another level with their ZEISS optics. The Nokia 8 has those as well, but gets absolutely decimated by this thing.
