good to know that i am not alone with this issue

It's the firmware issue, not the hw. But if you can't wait for the next firmware roll out, you can proceed with your plan. Waze is the great alternative for now.

i gave this phone to my kid and he started to complain about battery drain

rm100, cyberjaya. but quality not good as original, easily shattered (similar to those sold in shopee). replaced mine 2 times, still shattered end up bought redmi note 8 for 399 during sale, much more worth it.

i didnt dig the details since i gave it to my kid. well, instead of spending another few hundreds for repairing the rn5 screen, getting a newer phone is better IMO.
