i have google maps 5.9.0 when trying to use wifi location or network location i get please enable a my location source from system settings. i also updated to maps 6.1.0 and its the same thing. i cleared data and cleared cache, also cleared google services framework nothing works. I know we dont have GPS on this tablet. but it should be able to use course navigation or wifi location. in 2.1 and 2.2 froyo it worked now on gingerbread its not working for me. does anyone have the same issue or no how to resolve without using a location spoofer?
I have found the same problem and I have not found any answers searching here and on other sites. I understand that the Hidden Settings app available here lists all of the settings that can be changed, and enabling My Locations is not one of them. I am wondering if the setting can be changed by editing a file on a rooted NT. Maybe one of the developers or the moderator knows where the file is located and how it should be edited. My guess is that Root Explorer would allow someone to find the setting file and, once you find it, you probably need to change the state from "0" to "1."
Same problem
You still need wifi for the directions function to work. At best in your car the NT acts as a dumb map, aerial or roads.
I have allow mock locations checked in devleopment. i also noticed that in the default prop it says ro.allow.mock.location=0.
i tried to change to 1. it reverts back to 0 upon boot up. i dont know that would help anyway
I'm not sure this is a mock location solution. I am wanting the NT to allow Google Maps to pull an address/location from the IP address like the iPad and iPod do. In Gingerbread (which I think is the base for the NT) it is under Location and Security and is the setting for "Use Wireless Networks" as a source for location information.
To Miniblue, I agree that you need WiFi to pull maps if you are mobile, but this would be nice when traveling and using the NT at any WiFi enabled location to find local information and for running directions. It is also a nice feature to use with the weather apps that can automatically pull local forecasts based on the Location Services.
Location services work with Yandex Maps (Russian). It means, it is app problem.
I also need this to work, I am trying to set up "Square Up" and it needs locations turned on.

I have downloaded Yandex and get a different error message: "Unable to determine location" compared to "Please enable a My Location source in system settings." I am not sure if that means that Yandix is able to access location, but I am not in am area covered by the maps or something else. I will play with some other map apps to see what I get.
In the mean time, does anyone know where the My Locations setting is on the NT? We ought to be able to find it and change it with Root Explorer on a rooted device. I have been looking through the various root folders and have not found it yet.
The nook color can enable Location Services, how is it done on that device and can we do it the same way on the NT?
Until we figure out how to enable the "Use wireless networks" setting, a near-term, very limited workaround is to use the "my fake location" apk, which allows you to manually set a mock location by entering a lat-long or slewing a map.

Yeah, kinda stinks that the NC was able to do this with just the rooted stock rom, and we can't.
Edit: just noticed the OP had the caveat "without using a location spoofer"...sorry I didn't contribute anything useful!

Looked again at Yandex maps - first click at locating button produced the same error you mention. Second click located me instantly.
If you get "We have no data for this area", just click minus botton several times.

using my fake location allows square up to work, now to get the card reader to work....
Tried that approach with the same result. The Market doesn't show My Fake Location as compatible with theNT. I will need to load it on my phone and export the apk for my NT. I'll be back if I find any helpful information.

Here you go:
Thank you, Conundrum768. My Fake Location will be a good work around for now. It even works with Yandex, though I can't read Russian. We will probably need to wait until there is a version of CM9 for the NT to have access to the My Locations setting. The NT is potentially a great tablet once we get the crippled software off of it.
ok this is what ive done so far
make sure you have sqlite and root explorer on your tablet can get it on market.
navigate to data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db/secure make a backup and put it on your sd card just in case(copy the whole folder if you like)
find where it says 61 location_providers_allowed. press on the value side
you can either change it to network,gps
or change gps to network
save
then reboot
now when you go to maps the enable my location in system settings does not pop up now.
press the gps icon on the top right
now youll get waiting for location followed by your location is temporary not available.
this is a little more progress so far. location spoofer now works. we need to dig in more to find out what else can be done
i dont know if we can add or need to add <boolean name="location_wifi" value="true" />
to the com.android.settings_preferences.xml at the bottom.
This is helpful information. I made the change to the settings.db/secure using Root Explorer and added the line to com.android.settings_preferences.xml. I get the same messages: Waiting for Location and Your current location is temporarily unavailable. I have been doing some research on Android location services, but haven't found anything helpful yet.
right now i have mapquest and that works and sees your location.
i also have trying by changing permissions on
com.google.android.maps.jar
com.google.android.maps.xml
com.android.location.provider.jar
com.android.location.provider.xml
No Luck on any
we need somebody who knows the inner workings of Gmaps to find why it doesnt see your location while others do. such as mapquest
I will download MapQuest to my phone and move it to the NT. As an aside, have you done anything to your NT to increase compatibility with the Amazon Market? I assume you were not able to install MapQuest directly from the market. I am wondering if I need to change the Build Properties screen resolution to 160 or make other changes so that these apps will show up.
EDIT: Transferred MapQuest to the NT and it picks up my location from the WiFi. I am wondering what server MapQuest uses to render an geolocation from an IP address. I will look around to see what was added to the settings table. It may be possible to direct Google Maps to a different server. Also tried Waze, but get a FC when the app opens.
Alright this has been bugging me for a bit... How do I get apps to ask my permission before accessing my location (like on the iPhone). I have GPS on because I have the lookout security installed. And whenever I check facebook my GPS turns on and facebook tracks my location. Its not just facebook, its any app that supports location service. This will also benifit my battery. Any ideas? I have been searching Google and no luck there.

I was wondering if there is a way to disable HTC locations and use google as the geocoder for the stock clock/weather widget?
Use an app like LBE privacy guard to handle permissions.
You can delete the HTC Locations app and use GPS or WiFi location for the sense clock widget I believe.
Also you will want to uninstall the HTC Car stuff like automotive traffic and things like street view app. I know in the past I've uninstalled a butt load of the location type apps and still had the clock working but you may have to play around a bit. Use titanium backup and freeze the apps until you find out the combo you have to have, that way if you freeze something you actually need you can defrost it until you find the perfect setup for your usage, then test it and then remove it completely.

Dude your thread is called Location Privacy.
There's an app called Location Privacy that does exactly what you're looking for. It's published by PlaceMask and it's available on the Android Market.
The free trial version is good for 15 days. If you're still not sure whether it's worth $2.99 (you cheap bastard) you can re-install it--or you can perform a meta-reset...
Code:
HOME > MENU > Manage Apps > Select Placemask > Clear Data
...which is also a great way to turn off multiple alarms all at once. Use the alarm app's RESTORE function to turn them all back on without having to check a box next to every single one.
Anyway, back to Location Privacy:
Scans applications on your device and reports those using your location
Easy unmasking when you need to use real location (e.g. simply tap the PlaceMask to start and stop)
Remote control through SMS allows remote start and stop (useful with phone finders)
Provides replacement locations for your real location to enhance privacy
There are several apps--many of them free--that perform similar functions:
Location MockUp - Fake & Share
Fake GPS location
CatchMeIfUCan
GPSCheat! - Free
I have zenfone 6 lollipop 5.0 rooted and xposed installed. Today i tried hacking pokemon go. But when i tick on allow mock location and get back it automatically gets off or tick gets removed immediately. I tried rebooting not exiting setting but didn't work. Plz help.

if you use xposed module "mock mock location" open it interface by xposed and set "settings" app on blacklist
(or just set pokemon on whitelist)

Thanks for the hint man. I had mock mock location and hide mock location both enabled then when i uninstall hide mock location and rebooted it suddenly worked. Don't know though if that was the reason. It's working now and hack is also working.

mock mock locations ensures no app can detect this. They would have to use very smart heuristics to detect your are using mock locations (and never be 100% sure) and given that stuff like this https://github.com/AHAAAAAAA/PokemonGo-Map works I'd say you are safe.

I am not banned till now. Maybe because i opened pokemon go after 3 4 days and from the start i started from new York so it seems possible to move there at that long time. Or maybe they haven't noticed yet bcoz they are too busy removing bugs on their new app. But i won't say it's safe 100% and try it. Try at your own risk.

It's not that hard really. A simple inquiry will show it. Also all they have to do is look for xposed or root. Either one can be blocked. (which there are rumors might be coming)
sorry guys,i have tried to uninstall hide mock locations, and have only mock mock locations on, yet as soon as I toggle on mock locations in developer options it gets unchecked immediately. How can I fix that?

Is your supersu updated. If not update it and upgrade its binary using custom recovery not normal. And don't just restart your phone after allowing mock mock location goto recovery and reboot it and check. It worked for me.

With Fake GPS & Joystick for PokemonGO, you can set your phone location or teleport to anywhere in the world with just one click. If you really want to 'Catch them all' while sitting at home this app is for you. We made it possible for anyone to sit at home and catch the pokemon, even if you are living in Pokemon Go banned places. Enjoy!
Download: http://repo.xposed.info/module/undercover.hide.mock
Download Joystick: http://repo.xposed.info/module/undercover.gpsmocker.new
Bonus:
--> Fake GPS works on apps like Pokemon Go & Ingress through our sophisticated evading algorithm.
--> GPS Joystick works even on non-root devices, yet beware.
--> Make app ADs-FREE for a week by sharing the app with 9 of your friends or shop through ads in the app to remove them.
--> Play on Bluestack or Android Emulators without any issue. Voila!

Awesomeness Includes:
--> Find or map or enter an address of the location to set your location. Imagine playing Pokemon Go from banned countries while this fake gps app mocks your location to be in New York.
--> An overlay Joystick that hover over other apps, which could be used to navigate in any direction.
--> Evade from fake location detection from apps like Pokemon Go and Ingress through our super cool algorithm.
--> Use static notification to toggle joystick on/off on the go.
Procedure To Be Awesome:
1. It is needed that you turn on "Allow Mock Locations" on Development Settings
2. Don´t forget to disable "Use wireless networks" options in Location settings in order to avoid a problem where you will keep receiving fake locations even after stopping Fake GPS.
3. Make sure you run Fake GPS first before running your app.
4. Tap on Joystick button, which provides a joystick overlay which will be hovering over Pokemon GO kind of apps.
5. Caution: Keep the speed slower while using Joystick.
Installation instructions
Requirements:
1. Rooted Android devices
2. Xposed Framework installed
Steps:
1. Install the app and open Xposed Installer & enable PokemonGo Joystick.
2. Reboot & open Developer options and enable "Allow Mock Locations".
3. Select the initial location on the map and click 'Fix It' button.
4. Open Joystick & go to Pokemon Go app.
5. As soon as the app opens, drag the joystick in a jerky manner. This makes the app to sense, its the signals from real GPS.
6. Enjoy the HACK, but don't simulate run with a joystick.
I don't take any responsibilities for any ban/after-effects.

I having trouble getting this to work with marshmallow. I get the following:
Marshmallow: Wait for the location to set & turn on Mock Location setting in Developer options.
I have this app set as the mock location app in developer section and it is whitelisted in the xposed.

In Marshmallow, there is no proper way the app can sense mock location. It can be obtained only from the loading the location from the GPS for the first time.
So Open the app --> Turn on GPS --> Wait till the Current location marker is visible on the map --> Click Joystick! Tadaa, it will be there.
Added a work-around now in 1.06version build. Kindly keep Draw over other apps permission + Mock Location & Mock Location permissions turned on for the app.
Thanks for reporting. Cheer!
Cant use app always showing i need to set mock in marshmallow to fix and to opwn joystick
Not working, keeps saying that o can't go further with out enabling mock locations..... But I have it selected as the mock locations app.
Rebooted a few times
Just won't work
Why my phone can't detect location or gps signal not found when play pokemon go use fake gps please help me....my phone LG G4 no root...please help me bro
I can't get this to work. It seems that the app doesnt detect that I have already enabled mock locations from developer settings. Any solutions? I am on SlimKat 4.4.4 On a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100

I have made a fix for it. Before you open MapActivity you should turn on Mock Location and Press Start or else App is going to crash and in Whitelisting is to Whitelist the Pokemon app. PokemonGo Joystick + Fake GPS

I whitelisted the pokemon go app and your app but still getting that it should activating the mock location option in developer options but it's already activated. Don't know how to fix it, using nexus 6p marshmallow.

Seems working right now after update.
I whitelisted Pokemon Go but Google Map still showed me on faked location. Is it not possible to make Google Map ignore the fake location?
Some problems I found is when I opened joystick, the compass button at the up-right corner is unable to press to change the view,

Not sure I understand,
OK so your installed (version 1.06 can not see a newer version)
Enabled in xposed
Phone rebooted to ensure its loaded
Settings on phone, your app set to the mock locations app
Load up your app, wait for GPS to get a lock
Now clicking either fix or Joystick gives me a message "you must enable mock locations" clicking yes (the only button) takes me to the developer settings where I can see your app is still set as mock locations app..... I just can not get past this bit.
(not got as far as loading ingress)
It can't start pokemon go app says Failed to detect locations
Nice app, works well
the only thing I had an issue with is Whitelist would not work. No matter what I tried, poke could not detect location.
But when used with another xposed module, hide mock location, it detects the fake location just fine
...thanks for your hard work
After I used this module, I restarted the app, and found my self stuck in an abandoned location, and the character can't even move around, nothing near me except of a road far away, I tried fixing it but nothing would work, I used my real location, and fixed other locations, reinstalled the Pokemon go app... But nothing, now it's still like this from yesterday, stuck in that abandoned location. Idk if it's a ban or something else
Anyone knows what to do??!
Edit : I reinstalled xposed framework and It got fixed
The Pokemon Go seems keep showing fail to detect locations, can you solve it?
Sent from my ASUS_Z00A using XDA Labs
Used 1.07, worked fine yay
But then got this
Ingress is the game before Pokemon, same engine, same devs, same anti cheat. So a ban here is likely to be a ban on Pokemon (will test that theory)
Did not move out of the city I'm in (the Joystick moved me in tiny jolts on ingress not smooth movements like it's test map) did not move impossibly fast.
Not angry at the ban, it's a risk that's accepted with these tools
Thankyou.
Thankyou very much for this app, i was dying of curiosity because the game was not released on my country yet, now i'm all better
But i have a question, should i white list the pokemon app? Because i didnt do it and it stiil works fine. And also, after a while, mainly when i enter the screen of capturing a pokemon, the controler overlay vanishes, and the message saying that app stoped working pops up. Maybe its lack o RAM? because my device has only 1GB, its a old Galaxy S3.
Again, thankyou very much.
Hey Mate!
Love the work, seems great!
Trying to get it to 100% work and find my location, I've been able to use FakeLocation successfully and catch pokemon elsewhere, but unable to walk around which is why I'm testing this app.
But have removed everything else, followed instructions but still only get failed to find GPS.
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge - Marshmellow - Rooted / TWRP / Xposed installed & working.
Cheers!
Ok yes this is for a common game but I figured I'd challenge some awesome minds and see if there is a way around this.
Basically when selecting an app for mock gps location, instead of showing the selected app it shows "Call management"
So any ideas, and no my v10 is not rooted.
Thanks.
