I’m trying to use an old android phone as a vehicle tracker by leaving it plugged in and in my car. I was using a Nexus 5X and was having issues with the location not updating frequently or reliably. I assumed it was an issue with the phone being to old, so when I upgraded from my Pixel 4 to a Pixel 6 I put the Pixel 4 in my car and I’m having the same issue. I’m not sure what’s going on. I have no problems getting into HA from the car phone and the app is open, but it just doesn’t seem to refresh. The weird part is that when I was using the Pixel 4 as my main phone the device tracking was spot on.
Start with: Troubleshooting | Home Assistant Companion Docs
To understand how location updates work: Location | Home Assistant Companion Docs
If you want faster updates than what is mentioned then keep reading the second link about High Accuracy Mode.
I had consulted that document and verified those settings previously, they’re still all good. I also see that the default update interval is 1-3 minutes, but I’m seeing hours long delays in updates. To clarify I mean that the car has to be in a location for a couple hours before HA seems to notice, not that the location updates with a couple hour delay (ghosting).
the next step as part of the first link is to look at the logs, lets see if google is sending the app updates at all during that time.
Not seeing any LocBroadcastReceiver events in the companion app log.
what version of the app are you on?
2022.6.0-full on Android 12
I also noticed that the location seems to update for a little bit, but then stops, it’s almost list when I get outside a 1 mile radius of home location the app no longer sees a need to update.
I went for a short trip a few miles away and the location update stopped on the highway. I opened google maps on the phone and opened the companion app and both were working, so it’s not a data/device issue. But no further location updates.
we have some location fixes in the latest beta that is on github if you want to use that, would appreciate the feedback. We had reports of users encountering the same issue so we have added some methods to restart location services when we detect a gap.
Sure, more than happy to give that a shot. Installed the beta and will give that a go.

thank you 
you should see log lines informing you of the restart. But hopefully you won’t notice it as location tracking will just continue to work.
if you experience any issues with this beta build, please file an issue on github. We prioritize beta issues.
So here’s an interesting thing too. With the beta the app seems to update location a LOT faster, but the map is slow to update for the vehicle phone. If I click on attributes they both show the same GPS Lat, Lon, but the icon for the car is stuck a few miles from home.
if you see location updates being sent but the HA map is not updating then that points more to a HA frontend issue.
Yeah that’s what I’m thinking too.
I’ll run a few more test cases with driving the phone around and seeing if the location parity stays the same.

make sure to inspect the logs when you suspect issues, you should definitely be seeing log lines from LocBroadcastReceiver
basically the fix keeps track of the time of each location update we receive, then when we do our normal sensor check we evaluate the time compared to when we expect updates and if too much time passes we restart things.
Ok, took a trip to the grocery store, was in there for an hour and no update until I unlocked the phone and opened went into the app again.
The logs show this:

can you double check the app has proper permissions to work in the background? The locaiton update was a geofence update so not a background update which is where the issue is. I do see the sensor worker starting but it never restarted the servcies. Its tough to tell without seeing logs from 10 minutes before this as its possible you are just seeing skipped events due to accuracy so we need to confirm that. Unfortunately our logs dont go back too long as it depends on our PID. If you are able to install Logcat Reader and grant the special USB permissions that will allow you to see more historical logcat data so we can confirm what happened. As of now it looks like it did not think enough time to passed to restart the update.
Ok, I’ve installed Logcat.
This time I had to force close the app and relaunch to get it update it’s location.
what app version are you on now?
Edit: The code updates are in Beta 2578 which has yet to hit the play store, the APK is on github for now.
I’m also noticing long delays in the updating of a location on multiple phones.
Today I drove 15 minutes up the road to drop my daughter off at a friends house. When I got home HA still registered the phone 10 minutes down the road, so the last location update was sent on my way home. I was home for 10 minutes before my phone finally registered as home. During this time at home I had the HA app opened on my phone and was checking settings, but it still didn’t update. Finally it updated and registered the phone as home on it’s own.
Looking through the log on my phone I see the coordinates being updated roughly every 30 seconds but all of those updates are followed by this.
LocBroadcastReceiver: Skipping location update due to old timestamp xxxxxxxxxxxx compared to xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This happened for a good 30 minutes until I finally found an entry were it sent an update to HA.
LocBroadcastReceiver: Location update sent successfully
I’ve checked my phone and Background Location, Location Zone, and Single Accurate Location are all enabled. I do not have High Accuracy enabled but I thought the app would send updates to HA every 1 to 3 minutes, but that isn’t happening.
To be honest, until a week ago I was running HA 2022.2 and didn’t notice any issues. A week ago I upgraded to 2022.7.7 and that is when I noticed problems. What tipped me off to the problem was location based automations for coming home weren’t happening when members of the family entered the home zone. None of the phones or settings on them has changed.
The phone is running app version 2022.6.
What else can I check to do so that tracking starts to work again?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
