I had to finally reboot my phone today as the GPS refused to lock on to any satellites.

Post-reboot it still isn't locking on! Maybe it's just here in EL that it's sukkeling so. I'll check when I get back to PE if it works better there

20d 18h uptime on mine so far.

Instant location lock on my Redmi Note 3 when I opened Google Maps 60sec ago....

21h 32m here. Like I said I reboot often.
To be fair though, i had some WhatsApp cloud backup issues that caused me to reboot.

The first time I wanted to use the GPS on my Redmi, I had to calibrate it.

I only reboot when something doesn't work

Took 15 seconds here at the first stop-go en route to Port Alfred. The fastest lock in EL was around three minutes.

EL doesn't seem to like me... fortunately the feeling is mutual :twisted:

Can anyone help with my note 4?
Gmail notifications are not coming through. Mail only updates when I open the app. Sync is on.

 

[PhireSide]

Mine does that on occasion.

What I've found helps is to open gmail, then go back to your home screen by pressing the middle capacitive button.

Then open your Recents menu, find Gmail and swipe down. You'll see a Lock button. When it's locked then MIUI won't clear it from memory after a while. This worked for me, hopefully it does for you too

Screenshot of recent menu? I think I'm doing it right but don't see a lock icon...

This is what you need to look for:

 

[rodga]

OK will try that. It's locked on mine currently. So is everything else

Turn off MIUI optimisations in the battery power saving menu and set the app to auto start.
