[Solved] Mock locations - fake gps not working - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
Just got a 6p and have run into an issue. I need the ability to set a fake location but I can't seem to get it to stick on the 6p.
I have tried a few different apps and even ran the expert mode via root with the " Fake GPS" app by MegApps. The location settings are set to device only with both WiFi and Bluetooth scanning options turned off. Yet no matter what I seem to do, the phone still picks up its native gps signal canceling out my mock location.
Anyone know a fix or have any suggestion? Any insight would be appreciated
Running stock with root and tried android N
Edit: After trying numerous apps I finally found one that worked properly. Not sure what's different about it but "Location Cheater" in the play store works

Hey I saw three apps with "Location Cheater" as a name in the play store. Which one worked?

[Q] Any app that requests GPS crashes :(

Hi Guys/Girls,
My first post having got hold of my first Android tablet 7" MID A13 really impressed for the price I've not stopped messing with it, but I seem to have a problem. For some reason Google Maps and Google Earth seem to crash unless I use Location Spoofer to fake my location, my device does not have GPS but surly this shouldn't matter, any ideas?
Hi, if you don't have GPS, you won't be able to pinpoint your location.. unless you set it to a specific location.

Yer I understand that but Surely the program shouldn't crash on load is there anyway to permanently fake a gps position in a config file somewhere?
What options do you have checked in the location settings?

Location Spoofer app

Anyone know of a location spoofing app that works?
At Bat works great with video and all, but I can't watch the team I want to if the location can't be spoofed.
I tried Location spoofer and location spoofer pro, but neither launch. I thought it might be a maps dependency and have google maps working, but still no go.
Anyone know of one that works or I can try?

I don't know about most of question. I only recently got my Ouya and haven't must time with it yet. As for At Bat, you do realize it does a two step process of verifying your location--GPS and IP. If both don't match, then no video.
Also, there may be an issue with it not having any kind of gps built into the unit. It makes sense because what purpose would it serve. That said, its possible that a GPS spoofer could still work. In regards to MLB, the first thing it checks is if mock locations is allowed.
There are some tricks around this I've used on mobile devices, but I'm not going to get into the discussion here.

[Q] S4 Google Location settings

I apologize if this was repeated - the search toolbar isn't working.
I'm having trouble with my phone recognizing that my location settings are on.
I open g+
press 'locations'
an error pops up that says 'location reporting must be enabled'
it gives me an option to 'go to location settings'
i go there and everything is set to on/checked
when my boyfriend tries detecting me on google maps, it says i am sharing my location with him, and he can't see me. i try all of that again, and its one giant circle of nothing getting accomplished. Anyone else having this issue?

There are two places to turn on location, one is in the phone settings/locations the other is for google to access those locations in accounts/google/location access. Double check that those are both on, then go into maps/settings/location access and make sure that is enabled as well as location history and location reporting. Just going of of memory on this one but I think this should get you going.

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately EVERYTHING is on, everywhere. I've triple checked it all. Yet my phone still detects that something isn't enabled. That's what I'm confused about!

Weird, maybe wipe data for maps and google framework services.

I actually figured it out...luckily with timing on my side, I went into the google latitude website where I had my location as hidden. that's why it wasn't showing up! I turned it to 'detect my location' and I showed up on the maps! Thanks for your help!
Nice, glad you got it all sorted out.

Faking location on Android Device Manager

Hello. Long story short, my girlfriend has overprotective parents who track her location and don't allow her to go downtown with me or go to my house. They use android device manger. And no, she's not twelve.
I downloaded a location spoofer app from the Google play store and put a fake location on her phone. I tested the app on my phone and the location worked. The issue is, on her account, it shows that her location is disabled but it should show the fake location I've set up, just like on my account. I've got a Galaxy S4 LTE and she's got the LTE-A version, my OS is AOSP 6.0.1 and hers is the newest Touchwiz, both downloaded from xda, both rooted. Please, is there a way to fake the location? Anything, I'd be very glad if you told me.
Anyone please?
Did u enable mock location in setting?
Yes, I have
Try other fake location apps
What fake locations app are you using? I've had great success with one called Fake Location Spoofer free on the play store. Also if you use lucky patcher you can get the full paid version but it works with free edition.
You have to root the Phone, then you can move the GPS-Spoofer-APK to /system/app and you can fake position without "Mock Location"
PS: Use the App "Fake GPS location" made by "Lexa"
I'll post the URL later

ADM likely does not report mocked locations, you will need a app that can use root to fake location instead of the standard mock location. An Xposed mod called "Hide Mock Location" will do the trick.
And for your bigger problem, I would buy a cheap ics+ phone for about 30 USD sign into it with the account that the parents use, and then ask your girlfriend to create a new google account to use on her main phone. Keep the cheap phone at home or school or whatever, and connect it to Wi-Fi.
Hope this helps! Glad to see some legitimate uses for faking location other than the pokemon go game stuff that has been infecting the internet.
Here is a cheap phone that will do the trick, feel free to use anything that will run gapps though.

Just modify buildprop to make it look like an s4
It actually works now without a flaw, must've been a temporary issue. Thanks a lot for your help! The thread is resolved.

Glad to hear! I tested it on my g3 with an aosp rom and it worked. :highfive:
Be careful, if you accidently turn off mock location, ADM will briefly report the real location and it may show up as a "last known location" for some accounts. AFAIK ADM doesn't have a "cheat detection" like PokeGo or Ingress.

Joying UL135N2 settings?

Hi. I recently purchased a Joying Android Head Unit JY-UL135N2. I have been watching alot of YouTube videos about setting up the device and I noticed that I have none of the settings that I see on the videos like "Driving Settings" and "Factory Settings". All I have is normal android settings. Am I doing something wrong or is there more settings that im not aware of? I did see a Icon that says "Car Media Settings" but the options in their are not the ones im looking for. Im trying to turn off the head unit guidelines for the backup camera because my camera that I purchased already has guidelines so Im seeing two sets of lines when it is active.
Thanks
My unit arrives on Thursday I'll let you know by then but a lot of those videos are of the older 5.1 units so it may be different or maybe try asking in the joying forums

In "carmediasettings", there is third tab look like settings icon.
Passwords "3368"
there is option for remove backup camera guideline.
Developer options in the main system settings menu also has the password 3368.

the lights option is under the CarMedia Settings, but for some weird reason it only shows up if your lights are already on
Thanks that worked great. I have another question tho.... I want to install Viper4android but I can't find any solid info on how to root the 5.1.1 HU's. Any information would be greatly appreciated
Maybe reading this helps: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...roll-joying-2gb-sofia-mtcb-mtcd-tips-t3555249
Viper is not quite worth the headache. Look into upgrading the audio chip in the unit itself
