Advanced Privacy - Manage my location not working on Xiaomi Note 8T (Ginkgo)

• /e/ version:1.3-20220824212931
• Device model(s): Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T (Gingkgo)
• Device rooted: no

Summary

Advanced Privacy - Manage my location does not work. First time after fresh e-os install you can enter into the choice to managem my location. Thereafter you cannot go back into these settings. Phone stuck in using real-location.

The problem

Steps to reproduce Just start out with a fresh install on a Redmi Note8T - Then go to Advanced Privacy and toggle location settings a few times.

What is the current behavior? After the absolute first install, I claim I could get into the Manage my location settings and change between real,random and fixed fake, but it behaved strange even then. (but after days of fiddeling with these re-installs, I am not sure if that was the case..) After exit you can never go back into settings. Settings is anyway stuck on Real Geolocation. I tried several wipes of the phones (all 3 resets) and re-installed e-os, but you can never enter into the manage my location again. When you click in GUI on "Manage my location" to enter the subsettings, the screen blanks for a millisecond and just come back one level higher , ie jumps out of the Advanced Privacy top meny and goes to the Main settings entry menu. I have tested the same release on three different Xiaomi Note8T phones, and they all behaves exactly the same way. I can use the location service with OSMAnd, and it shows my real posistion.

What is the expected correct behavior? On my Samsung S9, I can use the feature as it is expected to work, ie you can go back in and out and toggle between real and random position etc.
