Has anybody checked out their timeline on Google Maps or any other apps such as sport activity tracking like Runkeeper?
Since I started using my UK bought CPH1919 last week, it appears there are GPS points missing so routes look like a lot of long straight lines as opposed to the actual directions I took.
I'm using the 'high accuracy' setting for location & so not sure what could be causing this issue but it's a big problem for me.
Has anyone else noticed this issue or got any thoughts?
Cheers.
I also noticed this recently but i have not investigated yet. Might be power savings ? Maybe we should try with power saving off to see if it solves the problem (and then get the issue to oppo)
I've turned off Smart Power Saver so now there are no battery efficiency settings set on my phone - will see how things go.
I have queried the issue with Oppo UK on Twitter but after 2 days, they have failed to reply.....
Still no better for me after toggling with the different battery settings as outlined above, as well as a new Maps update & phone firmware update!
And still no Twitter response from Oppo.......

No response from Oppo, tried everything I could think of so took it back to the shop. They were non-the-wiser so I'm going back tomorrow to swap for another.
Fingers crossed it was just a bug in the one I had!
What version do you have? I had the green option, I'm now getting the black due to a delay in availability of the green.
Got the black version. Not sure the color is playing a part here but please do tell if the new unit is acting the same !

Can you please link me your tweet so i can back it up ? Maybe we should ask directly to the main oppo account.
I tried a private message via facebook to oppo france, they seem to be active.

Try that.
After some research, it seems the problem might not be related to oppo. Or at least not entirely.

Yeah, I'm aware of this issue, it doesn't really happen in my City but I have had occurrences. In fact, when I was tracking my parents recently while they were shopping in town, they were showing as 200 miles away!
The problem I've been facing is there aren't enough GPS points recorded so my true route is not recorded - most annoying when I go for a run & obviously all the timings are out. My previous Huawei phone didn't have a problem & even my Nokia N95 from 2007 was better than this!
UPDATE: new phone appears to be exactly the same so far......
I there anyone else having issues with location info??!
Ok. I tweeted the issue to the main Oppo account.

Dear all,
Can anyone tell me if they are able to use Google Maps, especially for Navigation with Satellite Imagery turned on?
I have a terrible issue whereby after about two or three minutes of driving, first, my location freezes on the map (though notable is that the voice commands stay current and correct based on actual location). Then, the screen starts freezing, jumping, jerking, and generally MASSIVELY GLITCHING and flashing in a completely unviewable state. The voice commands however stay correct. It's just as if the device cannot handle 3D rendering of the imagery at all.
Now here's my big issue...
I am now onto my THIRD Galaxy S3, and this issue is reproduce-able 100% of the time, and over 100% of the devices. That is, it does it every time, and it does it on any and every Galaxy S3 I try to use for Google Navigation. And my devices have deliberately been a mix of some White, some Blue, some from one supplier, some from another.
So what I am asking, is are there any users out there that CAN actually use Google Maps Navigation fine on their Galaxy S3...
By that, I mean for a proper period of time, over a proper journey, deviating away from the set route, and with Satellite Imagery layer turned on. EVERY time I do this, on THREE separate devices, the display goes haywire. So I am trying to establish WHERE the fault is... is it phone software... is it phone hardware (I prey not), or is it a Google Maps issue (you'd think they have noticed by now if it doesn't work with the SGS3 though...)
The only saving grace is that it points to a Maps issue, as when using my NatWest Banking App, to locate ATM machines, when dragging the map about, it freezes terrible, then eventually crashes (just as Google Maps natively does for me a lot), and then eventually FC's... and the underlying mapping it uses is, yes, Google Maps.
So I'm after any feedback at all here.
But worried that it's 100% of the time for me, and on no less than THREE Galaxy S3's I've had so far, mix of white and blue, and mix of suppliers and locations...
Any comments please...?

EDIT - just to add device info:
Samsung Galaxy S3, UK Unbranded, both blue and white.
Previous Firmware (with the same issue) was: XXLE8. CURRENT FW: XXLF2
Similar behaviour to what I see on the galaxy note after the so called ics update. Everything was fine on GB. So could be an issue with ICS. Because of that, plus a few other critical issues, I'm now an ex Samsung owner.
I have the same issue.

Try an older version because I'm using v6.1.1 and no problems so far.
I have experienced crazy flashing and also a black screen while using Google Maps Navigation. It occurred about half way through a 30 min journey. I've seen it happen on both my girlfriends S3 and my own. Also, satellite layer was off.
Could be a bug caused by Samsung's graphics drivers? I hope its fixed soon. I'm currently on IMM76D.I9300XXALE8. There has been no OTA update for me yet and I am in Australia.
Well, that's the end of the S3 for me. The GPS using Google maps + Navigation was (is) a major feature for me. It worked so well on the SGN under Gingerbread and totally corked when I upgraded to ICS. Now I see the S3 ships with ICS and you guys have exactly the same issues.
I spoke to my retailer and went into great depth over what went wrong post ICS and they have noted EVERYTHING and has given me a full refund for the phone. This was my fourth device, Samsung cant/wont get it right and I want no more. I have no idea what my choices are for now, I'm using an old motorola clamshell whilst I ponder. I would recommend anyone having issues with the S3 or Note, just send it back to your retailer for a refund. The product is flawed and little will be done until Samsung see devices returned by the lorry load.
I have a white s3 (UK sim free) with lf2 and 6.8.1 Google maps. I've been using Google maps navigation for 2 weeks as my work pda (with built in tomtom) has been returned.
I've used it all day, 5 days a week, making at least 6 journeys per day with no issues.
I tried it today with satellite view and that too works with no issues. Worked ok with shipped firmware too. Le8 I think it was.
I have had the map jump around/flicker before when turning on a layer but exiting and reopening maps sorted that.
Hope this helps

That was not my experience under GB. Under ICS My experience had nothing to do with layers, and reopening maps is not an option when driving, also, that is not how the software should be behaving. So you too have a faulty unit.

I have had similar random bugs on GB and froyo (since my sgs 1) and to say the 1 out of 50 times I use maps it may crash - means my s3 is faulty?
I don't think so
You do realise navigation is still in beta?
Last week Google introduced a bug which killed latitude, few days later another update fixed it.

We both have different experiences. See how you get on with the S3. Personally, I paid top whack for a flagship product and it doesn't work as it should. It also has the faulty eMMC chip. Under GB it never crashed once, under ICS, its so unstable as to not be reliable and not performing as could reasonably be expected. As I say, see how your S3 goes. I'm certain that not all units will display the same characteristics, but its clear some are. ;-)

Thanks, wasn't aware the eMMC chip issue was present in the s3, I'm sure I ran chainfires app to check when I first got it.
I shall bear that in mind when flashing, seeing as my s2 died a horrible death because of it

Firstly, a BIG thank you to ALL who have contributed to this thread.
Could I ask that those with issues though, tick the poll to say so, as the comments in the thread indicate lots are seeing this issue, but the poll indicates most are having no issue.
Just to add to my own original post though, to say that today, on two separate journeys, Google Maps Navigation worked FINE for me, but with the SATELLITE LAYER TURNED OFF.
That is, standard mapping, and I had no screen issues.
So this only seems to happen when Satellite Imagery Layer is turned ON. In which case it does this 100% of the time for me, across 100% of three different S3's so far, and let me be clear, is so bad, the application is 100% unusable (unless you navigate by voice prompt) as the screen is either entirely frozen, or glitching permanently and incessantly, the whole time.
So my next question though is this... if this IS only a Google Maps Software issue, how exactly do we reach out to Google, to tell them that GMaps is not working, with the latest flagship Android Device...?
Also, as best I recall, I never had this issue with GMaps on my SGS2's both running ICS. But it might have been an earlier GMaps version.
Now, how would I find an earlier GMaps version, to see if that works...?
(Finally, as an aside, why does the SGS2 running ICS, score higher/better scores for 3D graphics, than the SGS3 does, using either Quadrant, CF Bench, or AnTuTu... surely the SGS3 should have BETTER 3D hardware...?)
I tried v6.1.1 and working so far.

I doubt it is just confined to GMaps as other issues crop up, not just with me, but other guys on this thread and elsewhere. How to reach out: Android = Google = Gmaps. Samsung are in bed with Google. Throw the phone back to Samsung and use the forums, eventually they will roll over and tell Google to stop snoring, get up and do something. Oh I wish.
Hi,
I'm having similar issues but I get the screen locking on both Google Maps and also Sygic Maps.
Anyone else having this issue with more than one GPS SAT NAV software ?

It shouldn't do that. Faulty unit, send it back.
I dont use the Satellite version of Navigation very often, but when you select walking directions it defaults to the satellite map. I was out cycling a couple of weeks ago and selected the walking directions, the satellite map got stuck and glitched exactly as per your description.
The reason your poll is soo heavily weighted as a no is it dosnt mention this issue is specific to using the satellite map.
Just a brief note to say that I too tested an OLDER version, 6.1.1 today, and found that it worked fine on the three journeys I tested it on, with Satellite Imagery turned ON.
So well done to that man - and whilst it still could be a combined Google/Samsung to blame flaw, it does give hope that it is software only issue, that can be fixed with a new version of Google Maps.
As for the point about the poll appearing flawed as it does not specifically state "if Satellite imagery is turned ON", then very good point - my bad!

That is a very good post, and thanks for making the effort. I hope the Mods do not delete it. I'm sure they wont. We all have to make whatever contribution we can to get the product right. In essence, both the SGS3 and SGN have a uniqueness that is not repeated by any other manufacturer yet. I have tried to seek alternatives that satisfy my needs in the way the two Samsung products can potentially do, but there are no realistic options. However, in their current state, I'm keeping my wallet firmly closed until Samsung/Google get it sorted.
I just received this update and installed it immediately, April 1, 2017 security patch, I honestly don't know what's changed in this update.

Battery issue after update
Started facing battery issue after AW 2 update. I have read may of you are facing the same issue. Have been writing to motorola on twitter handle but they will respont that they will investigate the matter and reply. No reply so far. I think individually we wont be able to douch about the issue. Can every person on this forum who has been facing the same issue send me your email ids so we can put more pressure on these guys and get some positive response.
Here in India they have stopped providing any kind of service ( paid or free) for the watches that are out of warranty. The product we bought for 24000 INR is just waste and cant do anything about it.
Pl send me your email ids on [email protected] and will see hat best i can do to get it resolved.
Thanks
Can any one confirm if they are seeing a bleeding effect at the bottom of the phone lcd panel. Overall the lcd panel of this phone is really bad. Comparing it to my OP2 and the illumination of the panel is too low. Anybody else with the same issues? I have put up a pic of the issue. Updated images of comparison with OP2 (In each pic POCO F1 is the at the top and OP2 at the bottom.)
Update 10/09/2018
First up my apologies for being away for the past 3-4 days. I have been trying to solve the issues with the phone and then over the weekend was caught up in some personal stuff. I thought of updating my original post rather than putting up a new one as this whole thing has come to a conclusion for me. So just a small recap, I bought the phone on 29th AUG in the first flash sale. Received the phone on 31st AUG as soon as I started the phone I found the bottom chin had a weird illumination. After a few days as the issue persisted checked online and found that the LCD panel suffered from light bleeding issues. I just headed here and created this thread and put in a request on Flipkart for a replacement. After that here is what followed.
04.09.2018 - Return requested
05.09.2018 - Got a call from Flipkart that a Technician will visit to check the device and same will be completed by 08.09.2018
07.09.2018 - Technician visited my place and checked the phone, he accepted that there was an issue however he mentioned that it is difficult to observe and explain the issue to his seniors. He however took a pic of the problem so I was hopeful that a replacement would be provided.Late evening I got a SMS that tech visit was completed, I checked the Flipkart app and it said Replaced Rejected. WTF!!!! There was Return option so selected that and the reason I selected was quality issues with product. Was surprised to see that refund request was accepted and someone would pick the package the next day.
08.09.2018 - Courier guy came to pick the package. Since I have kept the back stickers with the bar code and stuff I had just everything back as I had received it. The courier dude was acting smart and since I had already left for work he tried bullying my Mom saying the phone is not working asking what the issue was, me Mum just asked him to shut up check the package had everything and take it like he is supposed to. After checking everything and making sure all accessories are there the courier person took the package. I got a message that package was picked and refund initiated and credit will show up in my account in 3 business days.
10.09.2018 - Credit received :victory:
Regarding the Issue
First - This is not a fatal issue and as far as I know LCD bleeding does not increase with time however this is a hardware issue so if you are holding on thinking some software update is going to fix this, then sorry you are wrong.
Second - I don't agree with the "you get what you pay for" argument simply because everyone is paying the same amount of money but having different experience (We can see from pics posted by users that for some the problem is obvious and for some it is minimal and hardly noticeable)
Third - If you have this issue and it doesn't bother you then I would say go ahead and enjoy the phone. If you noticed this after checking this thread then I am sorry
Fourth - I would strongly recommend that people buy this phone taking Replacement/Refund policies of the merchant that is selling the phone into consideration. Guys that have purchased this from Mi website directly and want a replacement are having a tough time and am not sure if Mi website even has a refund policy. For Indian users get this from Flipkart and not Mi website, for other countries make sure Replacement/Refunds are provided in case you want to avail the same.
Final Thoughts -
I though the POCO F1 had great potential to take over from OnePlus as a budget flagship alternative however they messed up. If the POCO team had spent a little more time and may be resources on QA ,Software optimization (bugs in MIUI, bad implementation of curved corners, multi touch issues, etc) and may be a better name {POCO I mean seriously!!! } this phone would have been a serious contender.
Conclusion
I would like to thank everybody that participated in this thread and responded with pics for a comparison. Since I don't have the phone anymore I don't think it would be right for me to post here anymore. I just put a new battery in my OP2 so going to wait for some time and see what the Pixel's gonna be like or the OP6T maybe.
Looks fine to me on my POCO F1.

All the best for your refund mate hope they process it without hassels. The pblm with this issue is that some people just say it looks okay. Best way to reproduce is to open Chrome blank page and press and hold Power off button till the power off options come up and check the bottom if it shows a halo effect.
Let us know how the refund goes it should help others in making a decision. Curious thing is not a lot of people complaining about this like the boot loader issue.

I guess you are opening chrome in "Incognito" mode. The effect is visible on white backgrounds I guess if you just download a white image in full screen it should show up as well. Have no info on the service mode however some one having this issue posted on twitter regarding a display test you can do.

A bit of inconsistent brightness levels are expected with LCD panels however with the POCO F1 quite a few people are facing LCD bleed that is very notice able. If the inconsistency is minimal and some thing you can live with then its alright. For me it has been bothering me from day one as soon as I switched the phone on. I mainly use my phone for watching videos and the effect sometimes is more pronounced and that bothers me hence I have asked for a replacement.
I figure I'd post this here, since I don't know of any other forum that is even capable of delivering this kind of debugging information.
In their latest announcement they're asking us to provide more debugging data so they can properly analyze and finally fix the problem.
Their developers prefer when you send feedback via Settings-User feedback. It sends more technical data for them to help them debug.
Also they need the following information: Keyboard name + scenarios description + screen recorder videos (described below).
And for this particular problem they also require us to record the screen:
You can help us by providing more info. Here's how you do this:
1. Go to Settings > About phone and tap "MIUI version" 7 times to turn on developer options.
2. Go to Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > INPUT and turn on "Show taps Pointer location".
3. Start recording your screen with the Screen Recorder app.
4. Use the phone and wait the screen touch issue occurs.
5. Dial *#*#284#*#* to get the log.
6. Later you'll be able to find a bug report in Internal storage/MIUI/debug_log
7. Stop your screen recording.
8. Upload the screen recording and debug_log to Google Drive.
9. Send the links to us in the comments under this post.
We hope this will help us locate the issues you reported.

I tried to get a refund on Flipkart but they said they will send only a replacement. Saw several threads on the MIUI forums where even the replacement unit Flipkart sent continued to have the same issue, so I refused (BTW Flipkart is censoring user reviews that mention this touch problem to keep the sales alive). That is why POCO can claim such a high 4.6 rating on the website.

how about showing us your video log ?
Jai Mani acknowledged the high sensitivity problem: https://twitter.com/jaimani/status/1045945184398143489
Another update from the MIUI beta team: http://en.miui.com/thread-4075875-1-1.html
Recent analysis revealed that many touch issues or bugs which users experienced was related to specific regions and few regions were not affected by this.
Anyone facing touch issues can try changing their region settings to other (France, Belgium, Canada etc) after a factory reset or even via settings may solve your issues.
Please try it out and let me know in the comment section.

Hopefully they've actually fixed the issue now. This is the only issue that worries me about poco.
EDIT: I just received my global poco 6/64 phone that I ordered on 19th of september from aliexpress. Luckily I don't have the issues others are having!

Yes this is exactly the problem I am facing as well. The touches are detected inaccurately, and out of order as well.
The problem is readily apparent around the 1:00 min mark in that video. It usually happens for characters that have some spacing between them on the keyboard.

one thing is very clear, If that happens only while using keyboard then it is surely software issue not the hardware ( this is what i think )

Display Driver related issue .
My problem increased to a greater extent where i was tapping "h" and it was taking as "b"
A reboot solved it.
( hence software )
In Miui9 the order of typing was very bad.
In Miui10 now it's just bad.
Let's hope.
Hope it will help.
I had some touch freeze/lag problems. But now it is gone. I only changed my custom mui theme to default. Now I experiencing super smooth touch interface. I dont it worked due to the custom theme. But in my case it works. Try it.
Currently I'm using miui 10.3.8 changed screen yet not solved what to do plz
The update to 4.2.6 contains huge errors. All the tested outdoor activities don’t work with it. I have examined Run, Go, Hike, Biking.
After a short time it crashes. It shows senseless numbers (for instance a million of hours), then the data is lost. Newly starting it, this process repeats.
anyone have any solution for this?

so you can roll it back to previous ROM version with factory reset or is there any other way to do it?

Something is coming?
I also got in touch with Amazfit support, they wrote me new rom will be released within a week!

nice, to hear it! ...i can't wait anymore.. having the same problems all the time.
after a software update 4.2.7. i have still the same issue with GPS... do you also have guys??
In my case, the watch stops recording activities after like 5 min, No error message or anything.... I'm really unhappy with amazfit/Xiaomi.... Most of the tech related products I've bought in the last 4 years are from Xiaomi (inc. a stratos 2 that died after 18 months of use)... I'm really thinking that Xiaomi is no longer at the level they were a while ago or they say they are... Very disappointed... Let's see if this gets fixed or I just give up and buy something else
