Description

**Home Assistant Android app version(s):** 2025.5.3-full

**Android version(s):** 13

**Device model(s):** Samsung Galaxy S20 FE (G780G)

**Home Assistant version:** 2025.5.3

**Last working Home Assistant release (if known):** 2025.1.?

**Description of problem, include YAML if issue is related to notifications:**
- Location zone is not updated anymore
- Location history shows all entries as skipped (Very old location)
- When leaving home, the updates in the history shows up after ~1,5 h, so the whole history is outdated by ~1,5 h
- Geocoded location is still working as usual (also up to date)
- Google Maps app is up to date and working as usual
- Location zone is working as usual for my wife (Pixel phone 8A)
- I've already checked all the steps from [Troubleshooting](https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/troubleshooting/faqs/#device-tracker-is-not-updating-in-android-app)
