What do you require assistance about?

After a recent investigation had me going back through previous location data I noticed quite a number of instances of very bad location data, and as initial reports had it for drivers using Android 14, I assumed Battery Optimisation and did work to manage that.

Further investigation also noted that the same bad data is coming through with older version of Android, the Oppo Phones listed are 100% bad data, as for the rest only some of the devices are getting bad data.

All of the Samsung Devices with the issue are on Android 13, where's the Oppo ones are on 13, 14 and 15.

I am not sure what next to look at to try and resolve this.

Thanks

Oppo are some of the worst-performing devices on the planet.

The plug-in doesn’t manufacture locations data — it provides location as-given by the device location API.
