New android app--wrong location

Hello! The new android app is reporting my location as approximately a half mile north of my actual location. The old app works flawlessly in this regard. I'm using a pixel 7. Other location apps also work. I uninstalled the old one just to make sure there wasn't any kind of interference.

Anyone else having this problem? Recommended fixes?

Thanks!

Ah, I just realized the issue. The app doesn't show my current location and only moved the pin north.

Not showing the current location (and unnecessarily moving the pin) is clearly a bad UI.

Yes, having the same problem. I reported it Support along with all Third Reality Devices show unsupported in the new app. but are working fine on the hub and device list. It also show my phone unsupported but is is the latest Samsung Galaxy Ultra23. This phone supports the Location always on function.

I am betting you are looking at the devices listed when you click the lightbulb icon in the bottom menu. Those that show unsupported there are not "unsupported" by hubitat in the sense that they won't work. They are just unsupported in that they have no function (yet?) in that particular area of the app. In the old app, they just did not show up I believe.

By the way, there is an option to hide unsupported devices if you click the 3 dot menu in the upper right. I think they added them because people were complaining that the app was not showing ALL devices and thinking that they "lost devices". Now, it shows all devices and people are commenting about the ones that show unupported.

Yeah, I'm seeing the same thing. My phone is showing my location correctly within the Hub app, but my wife's is not. Her phone does show the correct location in other apps (maps, life360, etc.).
