GALILEO gnss costellation support - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

I got my Xiaomi Mi A1 last week
I noticed there is no support for GALILEO gnss (at teat according to the app "GPS test")
According to Qualcomm the sd625 does supporto GALILEO in conjuction with Android Nougat
Are we gonna experience the same situation as for the LTE bands support from Cinese manufacturers?!?!?
Is there some way to hack the Qualcomm GPS module firmware thus enabling the GALILEO costellation?!?!?
regards

Up. I have the same question, Snapdragon says that 625 is compatible with Galileo but Xiaomi doesn't have it in the list so who is right or it's the OEMs task to integrate the support?

In europe is ok, i see 4-6 galileo satelites.

I double checked today, but NO Galileo satellite was found
I'm running the latest OTA update
my baseband version is (see attached file)

Can you please report the baseband you have?
and maybe a screenshot of the satellites your mobile can see?

I cannot see any Galileo satellites in EU with my Mi A1. Seems like they have disabled that feature.. :/

Latest OTA and baseband here..."GNSS view" from plastore shows 11 GNSS and 7 Galileo sattelites in Berlin/Germany.

Apparently with GPS test app I cannot see Galileo satellites in this phone. With GNSS view app I can see 7 Galileo satellites!

Yes, confirmed...GPS Test only shows GNSS sattelites, no Galileo ones.

Confirmed with GNSSTest app I can see at least 3 Galileo (from Italy) so it seems to be working and supported!

GNSS VIEW just shows you the supposed position of the satellites....like a sky map does with the stars
The satellites are shown according to agps data
the embedded gps is used only to know your position and then show the satellites that are supposed to be in your sky area
I've tested this GNSS view and it shows the Galileo satellites even on my Nexus 5x, but the sd808 DOES NOT SUPPORT GALILEO

Yeah, tested with several tools now...Galileo satellites not visible/found. So it's up to Xiaomi to enable Galileo support via firmware update...

We need more people posting in official Xiaomi forum for to request Galileo support.

Indeed , with newer version of the app allowing satellite filtering I get no reception for Galileo.

Official Oreo beta testing is in progress.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/news-xiaomi-mi-a1-oreo-8-0-beta-tester-t3715023
I think it's worth asking now as beta testers also for Galileo support...
Thanks

If yes, please provide a link.

Mind blowing GPS lock speed

As the title says, Note has mind blowing GPS lock speed. I came from host of devices from Nokia, Acer, HTC and one dedicated GPS and Note beats them all. 2 seconds outside, 7 seconds inside the room (with windows).

Same here. All of my HTC phones had excellent GPS while my Samsung Galaxy S2 - Epic Touch was so bad that it was unusable. The Note however is on a different level. Super fast locking and dead on accurate. Used Google navigation today to find a church. Was pretty impressive.
yes, same here: the note has a comparably superb GPS capability

GLONASS it's a pro GPS chipset...
just EXAMPLE:
If regular phone (with out Glonass) finds 8-9 satellites, of them are working only 3-4.
The phone with GLONASS finds 19 satellites and 17-18 working from them.
any questions people?
Yes, Broadcom+GLONASS is the business:

I did a test with a colleague. We put my Note and his non-GLONASS phone side by side and used "GPS Status". His phone got a fix faster than my Note and both phones saw the same amount of satellites. I wanted to check if my Note finds Glonass but I can't really tell. His phone was T-mobile MyTouch. I was disappointed

I think that Note will use GLONASS only if GPS will not available.
Just like QUALCOMM chipsets: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gB9pXInwh3k

I would really like to know the answer to this question too. Since GPS is global, I really need to educate myself about GLONASS before I test this stuff out.
However, as long as the GPS is working better then on the S II I'm happy.
Try GPS Test. Satellites with numbers over 60 = GLONASS.

GLONASS is global too. At this moment 24 satellites working. Planned to make the active 30 satellites.

I've "educated" myself about the GLONASS system now. While doing so I read about the Galileo system for EU. That seems to be something promising.
I think it's cool that Galileo provide both way communication with satellites. How cool apps could spawn from this... =)

Not soon, and the prospects are unclear. Not for Galaxy Note.
Yeah, I love the GPS on the Note, with mine old HTC Desire and I cant even get a lock at home. Over 1Hour waiting and not a freaking lock, even locked and then lose it all the time.
With the Note, get lock within 20 sec at home and I just luvvvvvvv it.
my note 16 sattelites indoor, cousing S2 4 indoor
I tested mid-air in flight and it had GPS

Well, the sattelite visibility is very good above the clouds you only have to sit at the window...
Besides that i think that the note has a very good GPS reception! not like my old optimus speed...
the screenshot didn't show up, trying again.

Yes, was at window.
What I am surprised at is how other devices fail miserably at it even on road with internet assistance.
wtf, the screenshot didn't appear again, something wrong with tapatalk. Now, where is the forum for this?

hi
Did you try turn on google map is really fun ,it is going crazy fast like superman
Never managed to lock during flight with my Atrix. I believe due to lack of internet connection.
Perhaps the barometer fixes that...
Cool! Which application is that?
I would suggest next time to use OpenGPS. You can record the whole travel and then replay it in Google earth via KML export/email It doesn't require internet access for recording (though the display of the map will be gray)

I used GPS essentials. I could have recorded using My Tracks or open GPS.
During the flight I was so amazed with it, looking at the climb (altitude change), speed and direction change of the aircraft that I forgot everything else

Power? This is Chuck Norris of phones!
My understanding is that commercial GPS chipsets are restricted to locks above 500 kph (or mph) by the US gubberment. Is it perhaps the GLOSNASS support that is allowing the high speed locking ?
I found the following on another forum talking about ITAR limits that I cannot post a link too as I be a noob:
"Many GPS receivers are restricted in dynamics for military
reasons--dynamics not exceeding--
Dynamics:
Acceleration 4g (39.2 m/s^2)
Motional Jerk 20 m/s^3
Operational limits
Altitude < 18,000 m or velocity < 515 m/s
Either limit may be exceeded but not both (in non-military GPS
receivers).
These restrictions do not apply to the Space Shuttle or LEO satellites
making use of GPS signals. You can always build your own receiver
without restrictions of any kind."
my xperia ARC locked on a flight to HK, it took about 5 mins of holding it to the window but it did lock.
I read somewhere that Glonass satellites are numbered between 45 and 65. Didn't check it during this flight, will see next time what satellites are used in fix.

its just for the reason 800 mhz isnt used in china neither the other big export destinations
so the demand is too low to produce an extra 800mhz cellphone

So, no idea when there will be official release, but it seems stable. It is very similar to the P10's firmware at this point.
Update: The chinese version includes Google Play Services out of the box. Interesting.
Then Huawei's statement about "Phones on EMUI 5.0 won't be getting 5.1" is utter bull****? Nice going there Huawei! >< Are there any changes in the Camera App, enabling the Pro Video mode? Would you mind seeing how it does the GPS, with Galileo as well? Does it see more, then 1 EU satellite?

Thanks, work with that German fella from the GPS thread to log the output and see if it's changed. To test the camera, well try zooming 1.1x and see if the quality and sharpness improves. Was a 'bug' on some firmwares.
any idea when is going to be available for the chinese version non rooted?
Do you know if it will include Android 7.1.2 for final release??
i was comparing emui 5.1 to my mate 9 pro emui 5.0 and i don't really see any visual differences. even the new gestures on one hand ui is already in emui 5.0.

Does the version matter? You can have a Chinese version too, if you want! I'm sure Emui 5.1 is much better , then 5.0. That ought to be enough arguments in favor of the new version for now

Yes, I am specifically looking to have the ability of
Hiding apps,
Removing the navigation bar when using the navigation circle,
Double tap when driving,
Customisation,
Better Dock and home screen,
and Softtouch
as this gem is capable of all of them. Otherwise for a few "Bugs fixed" and "Security patches" wouldn't wanna see another 1GB of storage and memory wasted.
Plus the Chinese version has a different story and nothing to do with the international version. That is why it matters.

Galileo Positioning System Support

Hey there,
has someone heard whether the Oneplus 5 supports the Galileo positiong system? As the Snapdragon 835 supports Galileo I would suggest, but the Snapdragon 834 also did support Galileo but the Oneplus 3 for example didn´t.
So if anyone got any news, let´s discuss them here

Tomorrow will be even hotter i`am afraid. Here is a list of devices supporting Galileo atm http://www.usegalileo.eu/EN/inner.html#data=smartphone and chipsets.
Specs page shows: GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou. If the 835 already supports it maybe it can be added later via a software update? Until they officially list it I would say the answer is no.
Only chance is to make a screenshot from actual phone from some GPStest or GPS status app. Every page list different specs.

Thanks for posting. I read in a Finnish forum one guy posting that his phone had found one Galileo satellite. That sounded promising but at the same time odd that only one satellite was found. (Unless he tested it indoors.) Did you test the Galileo satellite reception outdoors?

Could you elaborate little your testing method? How long did you wait until the Galileo satellite was found, was it outdoors etc. At the moment it seems that OP5 might have a partial Galileo support but for some reason it doesn't work well. (Galaxy S8 found four Galileo satellites immediately.)

Sorry, my English isn't good enough for it.
Now tested again and found 4 satellites outdoor (clear sky), and as I see it is more accurate than OP3. Tested same time same place. I don't have much time right now because of my job.
can you please post a screenshot of the galileo sattelites on opo 5?

I posted a question about the Galileo support at Oneplus chat. The customer service guy didn't have an answer but he asked from their tech support. Finally he received an answer and the Galileo is not officially supported. I'm glad to find out that it still seems to be unofficially working even though Oneplus does not officially support it.
Galileo is working too here with GPS TEST

I would assume you mean Galileo as the symbols represent Galileo sattelites?

What's your accuracy reading after staying at a standstill for a while? My OP3 reports 4,5 meters. I would like to know how much more accurate the OP5 with supposed Galileo positioning system is.
