Why does the phone have extremely poor location accuracy when using Google maps and driving. Often it doesn't move or says I'm going backwards. It's the S24+ exynos. 

I can see many others are making posts about this and it's honestly dangerous. When will this be fixed?

I bought this phone and I didnt notice problems with Google Maps while navigate. Only think I noticed when I am in my house for example my localization is not in one place but it is moving in small area and compas are changing with different directions. I dont know is it normal or it is something wrong.

Google Maps nor Waze will work on my S24+ when the screen is off.  Call that whatever... standby, sleep, etc.  When phone power is on but screen is blank, Google Maps and Waze will not work on my phone.  When I get voice directions on a map app, that's all I need; I don't want my display on wasting my battery.  I should be able to get voice directions with the display off.  That worked with every other phone I've owned.  Maps works fine if the display is on... so if the display has to be on then one solution to avoid draining the battery is use usb power while using maps; shouldn't be required tough IMO.
