Redmi Note 8 Pro: the latest update brings GPS problems

When we talk about Notes redmi 8 Pro now we are talking about a device that of has very few problems. Strange to say in a historical moment of the brand in which it is revolting due to missing updates: we refer for example to Android 10 that will not arrive on Mi Mix 3 5G even with MIUI 12. In any case today we speak again of this smartphone, one of the most loved ever, even if not in a completely positive way. it seems in fact that an update on base Android 10 have brought GPS signal problems.

The latest update of Redmi Note 8 Pro, based on Android 10, has led to sudden drops in signal to the GPS: you too have the same problem?

After announcing the start of recruitment for the lucky MIUI 12 beta testers on Redmi Note 8 Pro, the company pushed a new update. The firmware number in question for the version overall è MIUI V11.0.4.0 while for the version EEE (i.e. the European one) the version is MIUI V11.0.3.0. All right until a smartphone updates except for the fact that this specific update has led to the sudden blocking of the functioning of the GPS sengale.

On the left the global version, on the left the European version

On the Mi Community global, the first users who updated their device immediately created a thread and the moderator who responds to the name of Mibatman has addressed the problem to the developers. The first to notice this problem was a user who has lost the GPS signal when playing Pokémon Go.

Reading the comments it seems that a user has circumvented the problem with a nice one hard reset smartphone: final solution when, as a rule, there is no way to solve problems. In any case, according to the moderator developers I am already aware of the problem and I'm at work to solve the trouble. Surely in the coming days a corrective update for this GPS problem.

Have you also had the same problem? Please let us know in the comments section below.

In the global version of the Redmi Note 8 Pro, the Maps App works in the Google Chrome ship when I connect with mobile data, when I connect with Wi-Fi to normal.

Hi.

I have a Xiaomi Rednote 8t. I use running apps, and the phones GPS tracks so poorly the results are sometimes 3kilometers wrong…

Any suggestions? (the problem is not the app, tried multiple ones)

With the update I have problems blocking the sending of photos from the gallery to any device (bluethoot, wa fb, etc.). I have to keep clicking on the icons but it almost never sends on the first touch. Not a vital but very annoying problem.

The problem occurs with the files saved on the external memory, with the internal one everything works regularly

Hi Nick, I have tried again now and actually no, the camera saves them in the internal memory. Someone told me this is an update bug but this is annoying !!!

Yes Daniela I agree, after the update many things do not work really well, even the projection on the TV worked better before now it disconnects, cmq if these problems continue I will do the factory reset

Note 8 pro 11.0.3.0 global, mine, has never proposed or installed the 0.4.0 automatically, but about two weeks, sometimes it tells me the gps signal is interrupted and the compass sometimes stops, the gps I use it almost daily, I use often the Maps function, which records routes and stops, I realized this morning, that it did not record the history of positions and movements in the days between 27 and 30 July 2020

Even my Note 8 pro by switching to miui 11.0.4.0 in addition to generating blackstitching on chrome and some apps (however acceptable) compromised the functioning of the GPS which is unacceptable. poco more than two weeks I switched to MIUI 11.0.5.0 with no appreciable result regarding the functioning of the GPS.
But can you know when they think to update to 12.0 ?? I really wouldn't want to do a hard reset!

For a few days my phone has disconnected from the car bluetooth after a few seconds of conversation. I tried them all and I thought it was a problem with the car, instead I know that it was due to updates. The fact is that for me when I travel for work the phone connected to the car is essential.

Try both ways but nothing, after very little you disconnect.

So I understand that the problem is general and not of my smartphone (certainly not the best of hospitality since I have abandoned my iphone after 12 years). I understand that it is better to wait for an update, bringing it back to factory conditions would be a temporary solution, right ?. Do you also get high the data of google fit (marks 1/3)?

Even I have this problem. First I thought it was due to the network operator then realized both the sim network dropped and getting reset. This glitch needs to be solved by redmi or it would be a big problem where ppl might start changing the brand
