Operating System: 14.0

**Last working Home Assistant release (if known):**
N/A was working with older phone(Galaxy S20) but I might have used BT+zone or BT alone can't recall.
**Description of problem, include YAML if issue is related to notifications:**
I want to enable high accuracy location when I'm about to enter and when in one specific zone. This was working pretty great with my old phone but since I switched to the new one I'm having problem, might be settings related, device or simply a bug. All battery optimisation for companion app are disabled. So here's the background location settings with trigger range:

As you can see here, even if I was parking within 300m of my house(within the 600m trigger range zone) the high accuracy sensor report false(red). You can see the "Location Zone" setting is also enabled, according to the documentation it's required.

If I disable the "Location Zone" settings the high accuracy sensor is true, see here:

I tried with zone.home and with another zone that cover my neighbour with the same result. (neighbour(home))
**Additional information:**
From all the tests I did, it just looks like the zone are simply not used at all, I can set high accuracy mode to bluetooth device and it work, if I set bluetooth device + a zone, can't get that to trigger. At first I tough it could be related to my vpn being on and maybe the app was using local url and considered I was home but so far disabling it didn't change anything.
