Xiaomi mi pad 4

[Broadwalk]

Where do u find the permission for gps?

Goto your google map.
Then tap on the left of search bar you will see your account, places timeline etc and find setting.

Then I enable all possible setting at google map.

Generally I do not think these setting matters much. I think waze is triggering GPS and when waze search and locate the GPS the google map is functional as well.

What's your finding?

 

[ah_cleo]

I tried but cant. Could be i nv put it long enough. I put like 1 min and still searching for GPS.

Jus curious, after u reproduce the gps, every time open google map need start waze first or auto lock to gps without opening waze?

U can try down those gps app and see how many gps lock on.

The key is I notice the moment waze is searching gps Google map will get the gps first. I think need the waze. waze locks the gps. but it’s unstable the moment you moved inside the house. I lock it if I stand next to window. definitely not inside the house or room.

Noting your message, I downloaded Google Map & Navigation app (been using Waze only previously) this morning, reboot the pad without triggering Waze, open up Google Map & Navigation and it was able to detect my location immediately. As Broadwalk mentioned, note that I was sitting 1.5m away from the window.

Would suggest you at least download Waze to test if the GPS is actually working. Can delete afterwards if you don't use it to navigate.

I think mipad 4 GPS is not strong one. To be fair, I live high floor and I really sit near or next to window then I can see the GPS. I enable waze so the GPS searching will be faster I realise.

i shall try again. tried on level 4 and hold my tablet out of the window.

Haven't enter this thread for a long time.

So is there any global ROM for this Mi Pad 4 that updates to the latest OS and has official google pay store support? I am still using the stock version and I don't dare to update the OS due to previous bad experience where the Play Store got into some issues.

There Never Will Be A Global Rom For THis Device.
Reason Being, This Device Is Not Released Globally.

If you want to move away from miui. You can manually unlock and flash a GSI image for stock android.

You just install the google store as shown in the youtube. Still works fine. It's on china rom and can install many many china sex apps can find ATB cheekons.

OK thanks.

You have any step by step instructions to follow? I am not familiar with Android.

So can also update the Mi Pad 4 to the latest Android OS?

I think for Xiaomi's stuff, if managed to last 1 month without issue, chances are that you won't run into issue one. Quite reliable.
