This is a problem for more people than not no matter which device platform they use. A simple search on any search engine confirms it.
This is a major problem for anyone that wants to do any real automations, track children, and a multitude of other things we should be able to do.
Edit:
Nuc (16gb, 512gb, N100) running haos.
Samsung S24+ and A53 running the latest versions Samsung has pushed out.
As previously stated, we’ve been through all the troubleshooting stuff. HA companion app can run in the background. Location updates can run in the background, everything seems to be set as it should. But the zone and geo-coded location never change in HA though they change in other apps we use such as tile, Life360, Google family link, etc.
Just as another point of data, the tiles do not update in HA either though they update in both the tile app and the life360 app.
If you need more specific information please let me know.
zone and geocoded location work fine here. This seems like a specific issue with a specific device, so you’ll have to elaborate. Otherwise this wth will be closed for lack of information.

I honestly don’t understand what you mean by “zone and geo-coded location never change”. Are you saying you have device_tracker entities, but their latitude, longitude & gps_accuracy values do not update, and/or their states do not change to a HA Zone where you know the device to be?
