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?

Hello All,
I was just wondering if anyone has any input or has updated the google maps app for the Xperia. I hear the current version is 2.3.2 while the preload on the xperia is 2.0.someting.
What are the steps to update?
I just downloaded it straight from Google, and installed over the existing version, no problems.
The upgrade is very simple.
I just uninstalled the old google maps then installed the new version. The new version has some nice updates for favorites and street cams. I like it
I didn't uninstall the old version before installing a new one. In that way you can keep your old favorite locations.
Another question about google maps:
I use google maps with GPS. When I finish using it I exit google maps.
The next time I use google maps, it first positions me by gsm towers, not very accurately, but as best as it is possible by network - correct position.
The problem: When I switch to "use gps", it starts looking for satellites and at that time it moves my location to the last place I had gps lock which might be hundreds of kilometres away from my real location. Only when it finally finds satellites, it corrects my assumed location to the real location.
With previous versions it kept my "gsm position" until it could find the satellites.
Anyone else have experienced this with google maps? It's quite annoying...
While writing this post, I started thinking if me not uninstalling the old version before installing the new one, could be the problem...

I did a hard reset cause I messed up my X1 with too much tweaking. Now it seems to be working ok.
EDIT: Sometimes still, when it takes some time to get a fix, it shows me the wrong position while searching for sattelites. Then when it gets a fix, it jumps to the right location.

Mine didn't have it - but it's a free download. (just got it yesterday in fact)

QuickGPS is just a method whereby the phone downloads a stored bit of information about the location of certain GPS satellites so as to get your location (with reference to those satellite positions) a bit quicker (or so I understand, I could be wrong).
thank you very much very helpful info
doesnt this Require internet access when using the map?
Install Google Maps in your Storage Card. I did this and my cache (map) is also there. This is the solution for offline navigation.
By the way: I'm running Dutty's ROM 1.7, so I don't know for sure it will work for you.
Try it and see for yourself.
thank you

It does, yes. It needs it to download the map graphics - unless you're in an area you've already scouted via wifi (I guess), and the graphics are in cache. (not played with it enough to check that).
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.
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?

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.
