  • Pixel 7 Pro
  • Adaptive charging at night
  • Somehow this phone's GPS loses accuracy to outside of 1 block every few days and needs to be "fine tuned" again in G maps

I have a Pixel 5a and have the same issues in maps. It loves to replace the dot on the map (which seems accurate) with the giant "low accuracy" text, which just gets in the way. When I "calibrate" it has me take pictures of the area around me.

I don't want to be a conspiracy nut but it feels purposeful so that they can just get more photo data. I wish I could just turn the "calibration" off and just let me be in "low accuracy" mode.
