    some phones are bad with indoors, u should be outside not indoors to get better fix.

    This is not a problem that Niantic can solve.

    Position detection relies on your device receiving radio signals from several satellites orbiting the Earth at around 12,600 miles altitude. These radio signals are not strong enough to penetrate every building and your phone does not have sufficient room inside it to contain a full military grade antenna, so it's designers have had to compromise.

    Your Oppo phone can receive data from China's Beidou satellites, and Russia's GLONASS ones, but there are at least 3 other sets of satellites that could be used, an iPhone for example would probably have access to the European Galileo and American Navstar systems instead, and might have a different antenna system too.

    The RF power of GNS systems is incredibly low. And is easily blocked.


    WiFi isn't accurate enough on it's own either.
