Hi guys,
Has anyone here actually gotten their GPS module fixed or replaced by Xiaomi M'sia due to the regular GPS error and
outage issues? I'm pushing my case here in JB with their service centre and I'm only hearing the usual "it's like that
one la" excuse from them. It has gotten a bit better after the Oreo 8.1 update but it still has a habit of failing when I
need to use it the most. Other than that, it's been a pretty fantastic work phone plus the headphone audio output has
been better than any of my Nexus devices and 1st gen Pixel XL ...
Cheers,
VaN.
There is no such thing as replaceable GPS module.
The GPS problems should be checked by checking the antenna and connector to the antenna. If both is OK, then check the board especially the GPS chip.
If under warranty this means replacing the whole mainboard. Of course the service center would be reluctant.
I know some people purposely kill their board so they would get replacement under warranty. However, please note replacement parts are serviced/recertified/used parts, so depends on your luck you might even get more defective replacement.
