I had a IPhone XS Max and homey’s location service worked fine. When I came come, homey turned on my lights and stuff, and when I left the house went into “away” mode. Got myself a Samsung s21 ultra, and now homey doesn’t recognize me getting home, but apparently slowly ca see that I leave my house. I thought I had all settings correct, but since it’s not working, please help me on where I go wrong. This is what I have changed on my phone: Homey app permissions: location - allowed all the time, storage and notifications. Homey app setting: location, enable home/away detection on, find homey’s location automatically on. Battery settings: power saving off, processing speed maximum, adaptive battery off, homey is set to never sleep. Location service: improved accuracy - WiFi and Bluetooth on. Memory setting: homey is in the excluded list. I guess that’s all. Thing is, I’ve also tried to use the location service with an older Samsung device, but I get the same result… my guess is that there is another android setting somewhere I need to change, but I need help to find that hidden gem. I guess many people use Samsung phones with homey. ---

Do anyone with a Samsung device have location working perfectly? Should I send in my s21 ultra for repair, and what should I have them look at, if so? I turned back to my very old iPhone 7 (I gave away my iPhone XS Max) and location started immediately to work flawless…. ---

It looks like I also have problems with my S20 Ultra
