Can anyone help tell me how i can set mock locations on my phone even if its via the PC with the SDK?
I am hoping I dont have to write a specific app to do it.
Hi all.
I am developing using Eclipse, using a Hero for actual device testing - but am having trouble with sending mock locations to it. I have enabled it on the device, but cannot send locations to it via DDMS. Can send fine to the emulator, and can deploy apps to the Hero - just not mock locations.
Any trick to it?
Does anyone know if it is possible to use the GPS receiver without any network data usage?
I have disabled the "use data network" option in settings>location but whenever I start an application requiring GPS, the data network icon automatically appears and indicates that data is being sent/received.
I know that Google Maps does require network for downloading maps etc. but the data network is also being activated by CoPilot and GPS Test, hence my assumption that it is the GPS radio that activates it.
Any advice on how to effectively disable network usage by GPS is highly appreciated.
Use APNdroid to disable mobile data completely.

On a similar note:
I would like a program that caches all the maps for the UK to my SD card, so I can use my phone as a SatNav without needing a data connection of any kind. So the phone worked out the route instead of Google servers as well. If you know what I mean.
Does anyone know of such an application?
I think there are a number of "offline" map applications available.
Personally, I have used MapDroyd which by the way is free, but unfortunately doesn't have a directions feature.
brut.all made some modifications on the stock Google Maps to enable offline maps and international navigation. His mod is somewhere in xda-developers (search for his name).

I think all the mapdata from the UK might take up a lot of space on your SD-card
there are offline navigation packages like Navigon for Android or sygic
the have the mapdata compressed into special packages
what I'm looking for is a map manager that can handle my own maps like military maps scanned into JPG images
i once had a program for WM5 http://www.sunnysoft.com/software.php?idarticle=241 that did the trick but cannot find it in android

Google iGo my way, this app turns your legend into gps-navigator. Map of teh whole russia takes about 80 megabytes, so it's not the problem
Your guys don't get it, I too have the same problem, it's not a question of maps but enabling the GPS also enables your data connection for some reason, could be the "assisted" GPS kicking in.
Google Sky Map or just a simple application like GPS Status seems to enable the data connection, even when "Mobile internet" is turned off in the Settings and both applications doesn't require data, at least the first one doesn't.
In Sky Map, having cell tower positioning works fine but as soon as you enable GPS, it turns on the data connection!
My point exactly
No I got the question, and I don't know exactly how to switch off agps. I (and I guess others who have listed offline map application) was actually answering the question in post #3.
I think (haven't tried) once you have rooted you phone, you can change /system/etc/gps.conf and remove all three urls - it might stop the gps from working altogether though.

Hi
I use NordVPN but whenever I go into secure folder the connection does not route through the VPN despite still being active in the notification menu.
I can't install the VPN in the secure folder as it's already live in android settings?
OpenVPN
I believe Nord offers OpenVPN, I'm able to use my VPN I'm both - oddly I'm connected to my server with the same profile twice - once in secure files and once out simultaneously. This is the OpenVPN app I use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.blinkt.openvpn. This isn't an elegant solution, but it seems to work for the most part - if I leave secure files the VPN in secure files seems to disconnect after a bit, but reconnects automatically just fine when I go back. I just tried this dual setup this morning so there YMMV given I haven't had much time to play with it.
Hey guys,
i got that weird problem on my p8 lite.
If i am on mobile network, Apps wich are using the google maps API won't load the map. It stays grey instead. But if i opened the App before in a Wifi connection, the app/ inapp map will work on mobile data until i reboot my phone.
The maps API is not the only problem. Some app push notification work only in WIFI, too.
I tried things like using the Xposed Module "Fake Wifi Connection", changin APN, but nothing worked.
If you have a suggestion, it would be very nice!:good:
Thanks and sorry for my Englisch
