What stereo are you using? Does it have (or should it have) it's own external GPS antenna?

My Pioneer deck has its own GPS antenna which is used for vehicle location, the phone GPS is used for Assistant functions like searching for nearby gas stations.
[Google Pixel 7a] edufur:
It happens in the head unit of both of my vehicles. They do not have their own GPS.
[Google Pixel 7a] edufur:
How often do you use your Google navigation via your phone in your car with Android Auto?

1. Rarely

2. Occasionally

3. Most of the time

4. Every trip I take - no matter how short
[Google Pixel 7a] USSENTERNCC1701E:
It could be due to signal attenuation through the vehicle body. This is the reason some decks have their own antenna.

Try placing the phone on the dash as far forward as you can, so it has the best "view" of the sky through the windshield that it can. I would be careful about midday sun, depending on your weather. If you're using a metallic case, (or just one you couldn't wireless charge through) remove it just to see it that helps.
[Google Pixel 7a] edufur:
I assure you that is not the case. I always have the phone up on the dash with clear shot. I have never had this problem with 5a and lower. It has only started since the 6a and above. And it happens in two vehicles where as my previous models never did. Coincidentally, 6a and 7a both have the new thumbprint sensor. I wonder if that is interfering somehow. This has to be a design defect. I have the exact same problem on two 6as and a 7a. Again.. they all are on the dash with clear shots.
[Google Pixel 7a] pajos.gabros:
GPS works excellently for me

GPS fix almost immediately
[Google Pixel 7a] NeonLightsMeUp:
Hi edufur,

I want to take a moment and be someone that which agrees with you. I have had many Samsung phones, iPhones and older Pixels. I upgraded to the Pixel 6A and the GPS and I never got along. I would have to hold my phone up to the windshield for around 10 seconds and then it would acquire a signal and then once I placed it back down in a cup holder or arm rest area it would loose it, along with that sometimes it would think I was on the other side and direct u-turns or it would say my turn was 500 feet away and there I was passing the turn at that moment thus a re-direct which again I would have to hold up to get a signal, it would always go gray and say searching for GPS signal.

I then decided to upgrade to the Pixel 7A thinking and really hoping that it would be better. It seemed a tad better at the start so I sold my 6A and kept the 7A, though after about two weeks I am back to square one like above. I really don't like having my cell phone on a mount suctioned to the windshield and that seems like it's the only way that it will stick with a signal. I even tried taking my case off to see if that would help and it did not. I also have a screen protector but I can't justify removing that to see if it would help. I never pair my phone to my radio or car or anything, I just open up Google Maps and start directions. I have other friends who ride with me with old iPhones, new iPhones, Samsung devices and even one has a old tom tom he got out of his junk cabinet that he brought with himself once and left on the center arm rest and it did better with signal than my phone.

So long story short, you are not alone and I agree. If anyone ever figures out a fix or a way to help it, it would be very much appreciated. I am in Georgia in the USA, no tall buildings or other obstructions I can think of.
[Google Pixel 7a] drchips42:
I have no issues with the GPS. My car has its own Sim / Radio so android auto uses that . when im out , the phone polls my watch ( sam gal 5 ) so i have no issues at all . There are a few times it says im the other side of town , then recalibates and its fine
[Google Pixel 7a] NeonLightsMeUp:
I want to share an update. I did some more research last night and downloaded the GPS test app. It seems that the phone gets really confused in the direction of 0 - 360 N,E,S,W if the phone is held straight up, but if its at like a 15* angle laying back then it gets the direction perfect. I am going to try this out to see if it helps any at least correct the directions and maybe the signal.
[Google Pixel 7a] edufur:
I wanted this to be true but it didn't change anything for me.
[Google Pixel 7a] ryan92084:
Still on the 6a and while my experience isn't as bad as yours it isn't great. Constantly thinks I've gone through a an intersection or made a turn when i'm sitting at a red light. Semi frequently drifts off into no where land. Occasionally lags 30s or so behind when starting a trip.

Much higher rate of errors than on any of my previous devices. Only pro i suppose is that the gps doesn't seem to eat as much battery than anything else i've owned.
[Google Pixel 7a] edufur:
I honestly will not buy another Pixel device ever again until Google 1) acknowledges this problem, and 2) assures us that this is not a problem going forward
[Google Pixel 7a] drchips42:
The only time on my 7a , ive had issues , is when i use the Find device , to see my familys phones.. so it may be there's and not mine . However if they try and find me , its always a few streets off . Driving with my phone is fine , no issues . Its better then my car ! ( Kia Niro hybrid 4 22 )
[Google Pixel 7a] XanaRaquel:
Does the problem only happen inside your cars? Do some other testing: go walking/running/biking and see if the GPS goes crazy too. Try it on your friends/family cars. If it goes crazy: return the phone because clearly it has a defect. If not, then your cars are the problem.
[Google Pixel 7a] edufur:
My cars certainly weren't the problem on my Pixel 3a, 4a, and 5a. Only the 6a and 7a which coincidentally introduced the new thumprint scanner and gps radios.
[Google Pixel 7a] 306bobby:
My pixel 5a had ok GPS. Wasn't as great as my old iPhones, couldn't navigate while in my pocket for example, but it was fine.

My 7a is atrocious. I can have that thing sitting on a mount, top of my windshield, full access to the sky and every time I turn it's "navigating" and sends me 5 streets over. Or I start navigation and I don't move on the map for half a mile. It is quite literally impossible to do any sort of gig delivery (Amazon included) on this phone without a headache in the middle. You'll think your turn is coming up in half a mile and suddenly you see the street right next to you. Ive absolutely hated it
[Google Pixel 7a] bombadier:
In the UK have not had many navigation problems, only issue for me which is location based would be using smart lock, the Pixel 7a doesn't seem to work as well as my Pixel 4a at working out I am home even though I am connected to my home wifi network, anytime I use GPS test app am seeing plenty satellites so not convinced that GPS is as bad as you boys are saying it is
[Google Pixel 7a] 306bobby:
I'm truly wondering if it's a by-phone basis. Plenty of people have had no issues, while many have issues similar to mine. Either that or it's location based. I'm in Mid-east US
[Google Pixel 7a] bombadier:
I definitely feel its software and not GPS per say, when i open Google maps it has me at home but the dot is grey after a couple of seconds it locks on and the dot turns blue, then smart lock seems to work, my pixel 4a was my old phone and hardly ever leaves the house so maybe that is why it works better, have you tried the app gps test to see the satellites etc and accuracy of the GPS?

IPhones do in general seem to work better though, always remember being in a pub and my android phone would get no reception but my friends iPhone would be solid, Internet calls the works.
[Google Pixel 7a] 306bobby:
It's been all apps and even multiple ROMs. I haven't used the GPS test app yet, but at this point haven't seen a reason. Who knows
[Google Pixel 7a] NeonLightsMeUp:
Well I know this is the Pixel 7A chat but I traded mine in today for a Pixel 8 ( not pro ) and I have to say that thus far the GPS when compared to the 7A is excellent at first trial! With my GPS Test app I am getting like 7 more satellites, quicker location 3d fix and better accuracy. I will have to drive around this weekend to see if it really holds up. If it does I will be so happy and will know it was worth the extra money to upgrade just for this.
[Google Pixel 7a] edufur:
I bought and just received the Pixel 8 pro only because of the watch deal. The GPS status app does not get a very fast lock. I will be testing the phone in the car today for navigation. Hopefully, it is an improvement but I doubt it will be.
[Google Pixel 7a] NeonLightsMeUp:
So, how is it doing when compared to the 7A?
[Google Pixel 7a] edufur:
Way better! I think in the entire time I had it, it only got confused one time. And it was an understandable (and brief) situation. By comparison, the 7a was having problems several times per day.
[Google Pixel 7a] laughingT:
My problems and my soluion:

I've found that the pixel 3a, 4a, 6a, and my current 7a all have a problem with losing compass calibration. Whether driving with Google maps or navigating for hiking in the great outdoors on foot,

the pixel seems to periodically loose it's compass calibration. When that happens, GPS goes wacko. For example, Google maps thinks I am facing another direction and about 1000 feet or more away from my actual position. Google maps occasionally asks me to calibrate compass - maybe once in twenty occurrences.

My solution is an app called GPS Status and Toolkit, by MobiWIA Kft. It is available on play store. I bought the ad free license many years ago. Runs fine on Android 14 and earlier.

I can open it at any time, get an AGPS data update, and check compass calibration, and correcting it as necessary. It works, sometimes as long as a week but typically for 4 days or so. GPS Status also has several other sensor settings but I believe these are restricted to behavior while in app, unless you are rooted.

My phone is unrooted stock, with all official updates. The carrier is Google Fi (essentially T Mobile network), if that matters.

Yeah! <3
[Redmi Note 10] Donpablo0271:
Attention​

For windows user, you could use Platform Tools r31.0.3

It doesn't matter if you would to use r33 tho

You will encounter

error : ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT not set

if you use latest version of r34.0.0

README

Dont forget to use proper Usb Driver for Android Bootloader Interface

Cool
[Redmi Note 10] Suman yadav:
Nice
[Redmi Note 10] ozmage:
:cool:
[Redmi Note 10] aing666:
thank you 🔥
[Redmi Note 10] carlos974:
I have to flash tomorrow (waiting to unlock the bootloader).

I have platform tools r33.0.1 and r33.0.3

Do I absolutely have to use r31.0.3?
[Redmi Note 10] cyberknight777:
No you can use r33. The problem lies with r34.
[Redmi Note 10] carlos974:
Thank you!

By the way to flash the firmware can I copy paste the commands from OP in cmd (the firmware files will be in the platform-tools directory)
[Redmi Note 10] cyberknight777:
Yeah sure you can do that
[Redmi Note 10] WalinAhmed:
I am sorry for noob questions, but which file should I download from the website? One is name "Recovery Option" and the other is "Fastboot Option". And in the instructions, how am I supposed to replicate the steps mentioned in "Instructions (Firmware flashing)"?
[Redmi Note 10] carlos974:
@ciberknight777

I unlocked my redmi note 10 this morning.

I flashed the firmware, the rom.

All went well.

I restarted the rom works fine.

But when the phone goes to sleep, I press the power button to wake it up, the screen appears but I can't unlock by sliding my finger on the unlocked canedas (I didn't put any lock)
[Redmi Note 10] cyberknight777:
The choice is yours, you can choose whether to follow recovery option or fastboot option. Instructions are provided respectively.

As for firmware flashing, do what it says? You obviously need windows/Linux with cmd prompt / linux terminal to do so.
[Redmi Note 10] cyberknight777:
What is "canedas" and I can't reprod this nor have I seen such issues being reported. I'd take it this is probably some rare AOSP meme. If you can reprod, provide logs for it. That said it's highly possible that it isn't device specific so yeah.
[Redmi Note 10] carlos974:
Typo "padlock"

I changed a year ago already the broken screen by another screen not amoled but TFT
[Redmi Note 10] cyberknight777:
Then it's your screen issue
[Redmi Note 10] WalinAhmed:
I've been using the rom for a couple of weeks and am absolutely loving it.

But there are few adjustments to make that would really amp up the experience. It goes:

1. Reducing the status bar padding below the notch a little bit (just like in stock MIUI).

2. Having the option to toggle Fullscreen mode in Gesture settings, like hiding the gesture bar entirely and the drop-down icon while typing in Gboard.

3. Turning the display off by double tapping the status bar from any app.

4. Replacing the Google Camera Go with Aperture from LOS.
[Redmi Note 10] carlos974:
My screen is touchscreen: fts-ts
[Redmi Note 10] cyberknight777:
That is merely a fork of my kernel and that commit does nothing functionally. Your issue is specific to your replaced panel.
[Redmi Note 10] carlos974:
That is merely a fork of my kernel and that commit does nothing functionally. Your issue is specific to your replaced panel.

Okay thank you very much.

I ordered an original amoled screen.
[Redmi Note 10] Spaceboy60:
Can you just do a batch file with all the fastboot commands?
[Redmi Note 10] Aribala Duraipandian:
Android auto not working, with error message as 'Your phone is not responding'.

Any help is appreciated.
[Redmi Note 10] troolie:
I've been running the rom for about a month and so far, I like it a lot. It's a bit barebone but I have yet to run into any issue.

This thread looks pretty dead though, is the rom development still ongoing?
[Redmi Note 10] cyberknight777:
You can copy paste the commands in a batch file anyways.
[Redmi Note 10] cyberknight777:
I recall android auto working fine here, reprod and get logs.
[Redmi Note 10] cyberknight777:
Yes it's very much alive. June update was skipped due to some internal conflicts. The conflicts has therefore been resolved and currently we are waiting for a release build to be ready so we can test it and release it ASAP.
[Redmi Note 10] troolie:
Awesome. Thanks a lot mate.
[Redmi Note 10] troolie:
For those unaware, beta2 is available via OTA or on the official website https://paranoidandroid.co/sunny

Changelog:
[Redmi Note 10] troolie:
Should the slide down menu (where you can toggle internet, gps, bt, restart the phone and all that) really be accessible from the lock screen on a locked device? I'm not sure it's a bug but I couldn't find any option to change that behaviour and that's just unsafe.
[Redmi Note 10] cyberknight777:
That stuff is custom afaik. @herna what's your take on this?
[Redmi Note 10] troolie:
Looking at a stock android 13 GSI, it seems you're right. That's an actual design choice. I have no idea what weird thought process led to that glaring security flaw though.

I noticed the default device name for BT is set to Asus something. It can be renamed in the UI but it should be an easy enough fix.

BTW, android auto works fine here.
[Redmi Note 10] rahimali:
Hi, I'm kind of new to this particular device but here's how far I've gotten:

Unlocked bootloader (the official way)

Flashed official TWRP

Formatted/wiped and flashed Topaz beta 3.

All good except TWRP seems to have been replaced with stock recovery and I'm unable to revert to TWRP through fastboot. How do I get it back?

Also, is there any harm if I flash the forced encryption disabler? Which one is recommended? I was thinking NEO. Am I on the right track?

Thanks!
[Redmi Note 10] carlos974:
See instructions --> OP

don't use twrp!
[Redmi Note 10] rahimali:
So how do I flash something (like Magisk or any other mod) post ROM install without TWRP or OrangeFox?
[Redmi Note 10] carlos974:
--> OP

Instructions (Recovery package)
[Redmi Note 10] rahimali:
So anyone unable to flash anything after installing the ROM, at least here's how to get magisk onboard:

extract boot.img from ROM zip and copy to downloads (or whatever else) folder on the device

install the magisk app

when you run it the first time, it will ask you to provide image to flash, point it in the direction of above-mentioned boot.img

magisk will patch the boot.img and put a patched/renamed boot.img in the same location which you now have to copy to your PC as magisk_patched_boot.img

do an adb reboot bootloader

with the device in fastboot mode, do a fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_boot.img

fastboot reboot and prosper

hope this helps
[Redmi Note 10] carlos974:
Yes this is the right way to do it for magisk.

To apply an update go to recovery and use adb sideload rom.zip or kernel.zip (need platform-tools on pc)
[Redmi Note 10] rahimali:
I tried magisk that way, it wouldn't work. nothing flashed with adb sideload after flashing the ROM.

I don't understand if this is a ROM limitation or device limitation.

I was able to flash TWRP just fine when I unlocked the bootloader on stock MIUI. I read there's no recovery partition on this device so where did TWRP go when I flashed it on stock? Boot partition?
[Redmi Note 10] carlos974:
Yes there is no recovery partition on this device.

Recovery is in ramdisk in boot partition.

For Magisk installed the application like any other application, then in magisk patched the boot.img of the rom.

Then reboot bootloader --> fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Redmi Note 10] aminou_24:
Excellent rom good performance, battery life and stability but there's some minor issues like there's no HBM brightness mode in the display options and no AppLock in the security options, also when i try to update the Google play system update nothing happens and after 3 attempts or so the playstore crushes, and finally there's no option to show network traffic in the status bar and no 4G icon.
[Redmi Note 10] rahimali:
Beta 4 is available now (although not available when you select check for updates on the device)

How can I transfer the system in RW?
[Redmi Note 10] carlos974:
You can't, erofs partition
[Redmi Note 10] WalinAhmed:
Just found out my device is not certified. Did I make any mistake during the installation or everyone is having this?
[Redmi Note 10] alonsoj636MW:
not your fault.

google is constantly banning spoofing methods (fingerprints) so the device certification won't last for long.

also you should look for play integrity checkers (play store inbuilt for example) instead of yasnac because safetynet is deprecated. Only play integrity status matters now

what you can do is flash the play integrity fix on magisk and that's it.

Or... just wait for the next update.

Uvite Beta 3 is out since 04/12/24 in case anyone missed it
[Redmi Note 10] Handsome_Techicain:
Bro, When are you gonna release the stable version the android 13 version of AOSPA didn't even released the Stable version are you gonna to the same with the Android 14?
[Redmi Note 10] cyberknight777:
Uvite Beta 5 is out lads.
[Redmi Note 10] cyberknight777:
I didn't release Stable in Topaz because I didn't fix FM. In Uvite, it is not up to me, all devices that ship official AOSPA are Alpha/Beta builds. This is due to the fact that our OTA system is not ready yet.
[Redmi Note 10] bishoy ashraf:
Did you find a solution?!
