Hi,
I'm using an app called GPS Joystick to mock location and it worked fine on my previous nexus devices.
Now that i have a Huawei P9 Lite, i can not manage to make it work as before and it keep rubberbanding between real location and mock location.
The developper give the information that all that is done is disabling "Fused Location Service" in order to avoid that.
Trying to do that directly with an app like disable services, i cannot reboot (stuck at attached screen every time) the phone once the service is disabled, and i have to restore from a previous backup.
Anyone can help me understand what is specific to that phone to disable location services so that app can not get access to real location even if GPS is enabled?
Thanks
I have the same problem with p9lite using fake gps ... Anyone know how patch it?

Hey your p9lite is branded or debranded?
I had the same issue when disabling location service, phone went to bootloop. It never happen to other phones. guess huawei lock the service so that its hard to disable it. anyone has success to disable location service without bootloop??
I have the same issue with Huawei P8. Everytime I disabled fused location service can't boot the phone...
Have you tried older roms? Before security patch?

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?
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.
Hey guys,
I find the feature in Google Now to create reminders based on my location. I find that very interesting and check out directly. But I realized that it does not work in my case. The location service is active. I use the feature in Germany. Can anyone help?
It does work, You must have a setting disabled.
Or maybe Battery Optimsation is sleeping the app.
Basically you need GPS enabled, and it needs to be activated at your location.
Try disabling them from the Battery Optimisation.
I know it works, as i use it all the time to remind me when i am at Asda to pickup various items i would normally forget.
Thank you for the reply.
In the Battery Optimsation Settings are all apps listed but not the Google Now app.
The App is using my location and GPS is enabled, see the screenshot below. Do you have any idea?
Greetings,
I'm desperate to get a region locked app to work -It is a Japanese IP Radio streaming app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.radiko.Player&hl=en
I had FakeGPS installed as system app - so no need to enable mock location
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.incorporateapps.fakegps&hl=en
Set location to Shinjuku, Tokyo - Verified location through Google Maps
Had PureVPN connected to Tokyo - Verified i'm assigned Tokyo IP through whatismyipadress.com
Done all the above - NO DICE - radiko.jp app would load then close itself - this program behaviour is usually due to attempt to intialise the app outside Japan
I'd really appreciate if there is another way to get this region-locked app working
FYI - I'm on stock root touchwiz 6.0.1- systemless root SuperSU - SM-G900I
Installed Xposed by Wanam SDK23 and Fake my GPS with Tokyo IP - Still no Joy - Fake my GPS uses a cool method to spoof location - I'm surprised that this doesn't work as well...
Is there some kind of debug log tool I could use to see what is it that is causing the app to close?
WTF... changed system time, timezone, region and locale to Japan, UTC/GMT +09:00 still no joy
I am having the same problem with this app, except I have not gone through the process of faking my location. I am running stock Nexus 5 with root. I believe the app might be detecting root.
