Is there a way for the Kindle Fire with ICS ROM to access location services to update for example a weather widget? Was wanting to use Beautiful Widgets. The build I'm using has the Google Location Service and GPS Satellites, but the widget cannot find location. Thanks to all the devs for the hard work in providing the rest of us with such great builds for our devices. XDA rules.
Location service
Try to use GPS Tether from market.

Hello,
I've rooted my Wildfire and as I'm not in US, I've uninstalled the original Maps app and replaced it with the hacked version of Maps 5.7 that has unlocked navigation (also so that I don't have 2 Maps apps on my phone). However, now all apps (including maps) cannot find the location using the network location mechanism, only if I turn on GPS, then the location can be found (I also need to be outside for the GPS to work, but that is normal). Using the location via the mobile network doesn't work at all. Is there a fix for this, or do I somehow need to reinstall the original maps? I use the stock HTC froyo ROM.
Thanks a lot.
Cheers...
I also use the hacked maps, but network based locations works well. Anyway i downgraded to a lower maps version because the fonts in newer versions are not very clear on my wildfire.

Does anyone know the best way to provide google with realtime data from my Nexus S to help them update the realtime live traffic data?
Reason I ask is they say it is google maps which will provide them with details of my speed and location so they can work out the live traffic status but my problem is if I leave google maps open the phone goes to sleep and when you wake it the GPS has been turned to standby thus meaning it has lost my live location and stopping google from being able to use my location in the traffic.

Maps services always run in the background as needed. You do not need to run the Maps app to provide your location data. As long as you opted in location services it will provide Google your data in the background.

How when it needs the GPS to provide an accurate location so it can tell what road I am on, You can tell my GPS hasn't locked for sometime because it takes ages to find satellites so it can't be using GPS?

If GPS is not available, it uses the cell towers and triangulates your location along with other users. Not as accurate as GPS but Google aggregates the data from different users to provide more accurate traffic info.

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.
hi there i am looking for an app that will give me location history, i know there are plenty of apps out there like Google latitude, find my friend but what I was looking is, it will show me what locations they have been to because
i run a small leaflet business where i send people to distribute leaflets to doors but i think few of my employees are lying, as they take work phone with them i want to install such an app that will save their location and show me which area they have been to. i tried google latitude but it only shows where they are in real time. haven't found any app that will give me their location history which i can have look later in the day to check if they have done their job properly.
i hope someone understands me and advice me if there is any app that i can use.
thanks
Download Google My Tacks app. It will do what you want.

I am trying to figure out the best location settings to run on the N3 for a daily driver. I don't even use gps but I have the beautiful weather widget where the weather updates every hour. Just wanted to see if there was a setup that was most common.

I'm kinda similar with not using GPS or Google Maps daily but I do like the weather to update. What I do is leave all location services off for battery saving and set a static location within the weather app rather than geolocation. I use Eye in the Sky weather with zip code as my location.
