GPlay Geolocation unstable/wrong

mvennik

I use Homey for my heating to turn on/off when I come/leave my home. It uses GPlay geolocation for its home/away detection. So I have been setting GPlay geolocation up in GOS (disabled Reroute location request, etc). It's not working as it did on stock OS because it detects that I am away when I'm still at home. My first thought was that Homey messes up my location because navigating was flawlessly. But after some reading I learned that for navigating GPS is used while Homey and other apps use Gplay gelocation based on network.

I have been testing this for a while with Macrodroid, in which you can use both; Geofence-trigger (using Gplay geolocation) and Location-trigger using (GPS), and I can confirm that Gpay geolocation wrongly detects that I have left my home sometimes. So GPlay geolocation seems to be the cause.

From a battery-usage perspective GPlay geolocation I would like to use this, so does anybody recognizes my problem and have find a solution?

mvennik Have you tried the GrapheneOS Network Location service? It works better than Google's in areas where Apple's database is competitive with theirs because of our vastly superior algorithm. Please follow https://grapheneos.org/usage#network-location

Yes I have and that's not working at all for Homey ....

I had an issue with my location being updated, but in the Work profile and Google services installed. This was for a location sharing app though. try going into settings, location, location services, and then under network location see if that’s turned off and set to Apple server or graphene OS proxy. I have mine on graphene os and my location started working a lot better without issue.
