In parameters/ apps/ maps/ there is an option to enable or disable my location. Is this the way i can enable or disable GPS? If not is there another way to shutdown the gps?
Yes, sir That's exactly how you kill the GPS.

Is there a way to disable geotagging of photos?
So far I found you can disable location under Settings->Location Security->My Location.
But I wanted to keep that on, but just disable it for the camera app.

Open the camera app:
Menu > Settings on the left side onscreen menu > Click on the wrench > Unclick GPS
I don't see that option, I am running EE 2.0.1 though (DK17), did they remove it in Froyo?
What about just turning off gps when taking photos?
That works but I use maps and navigation a lot so I usually keep location on.

Whenever I enable location in settings, it's asking for agree, disagree it's annoying me, is there is any way to agree once for all.?
Also in location settings once enabled first it's going for high accuracy, I wanted to have always on power savings mode whenever I activate location.
I am on UK btu completely stock room.
Thanks

Instead of enabling/disabling location service, you can enabling/disabling GPS. It will not ask for agree/disagree.

Really?
You can activate/deactivate GPS with only "1 click" by:
- Using notification panel (GPS icon).
- OR Settings > Location services > Use GPS sattelites.
GPS icon was in little older rom, now only location icon in Notification bar

The OP is correct, no separate GPS. This agree/disagree bugs me too, but I grudgingly live with it.
In Location settings, you can choose to use between GPS, GPS+network or only network. Unfortunately, I don't know any way to automate to specific option, GPS + network is being the default one.
Also, the agree/disagree popup can be disabled by using this Xposed module - http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.mohammadag.disablelocationconsent

Yes, there is a solution.
You need Root first.
Then you need Xposed Installer
Then you need this module
Good luck . . .
I am looking for a way to be able to mock location without needing to use ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION. My app works but requires "allow mock location" setting to work. When "allow mock location" setting is disabled, the app just crashes when it's about to spoof location. Just moving it to the system partition doesn't help..
I'd be glad for tips for Lilipop and Marshmallow (as far as I learned, they work differently...)
Hi!
Just flashed the new Open Beta 22 based on Android 9.0. A bit surprised and disappointed to see that there does not seem to have any way to disable the GPS while keeping other location method (Wifi+cellular) activated. All we seem to be able to do is either:
- completely disable location services;
- enable location and enable 'Google Location Accuracy' -- akin to the previous "High accuracy" option from Android 8.1 and previous;
- enable location and disable 'Google Location Accuracy' -- akin to the previous "Device only" option from Android 8.1 and previous.
Is there any way to enable the equivalent of the previous-8.1 "Battery saving" option in Location options, which would allow apps to access location using only wifi+cellular information?
It seems not
Thank you GOOGLE
Anyone found a fix?
Only if you're rooted.. Tasker + secure settings, can still do the trick.
Enable/disable GPS only is possible. For example using a Macrodroid application after enable permission settings via ADB command:
"pm grant com.arlosoft.macrodroid android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS". Personally tested and operated.
After successfully spoofing my position I can't make my GPS to work normally again; the GPS icon appears in the status bar but it doesn't detect my location, doesn't matter how long I wait.
A-GPS, WLAN/Bluetooth scanning and Google location accuracy are all disabled before, during and after the spoofing.
I'm on MIUI by xiaomi.eu 11.0.6 stable (QFJCNXM).
Go to developer options, turn off gps spoofing

On this miui version there isn't an option for turning GPS spoofing off, closest thing is just selecting "nothing" in the "Select mock location app" section, which I had already done.
The fastest way is to reset, if you tried everything
I've actually installed another rom (pixel experience, whose thread is the most viewed for this phone on this forum), so I had to wipe everything and also format data but gps still can't find my position, without wireless/network scanning lol... What the hell... Before spoofing it worked perfectly and quickly
Try gps fixer click
