GPS not working after using fake gps all - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone.
The GPS function of my phone (Samsung Note 5, Android 7) can't seem to work after I use a fake gps app called Fly Gps.
When I am using Waze, the msg "No GPS. Showing approximate location" pop up. It can detect my location when I am not moving, but I can't use it for navigation.
Google Maps is better,I I think. It can detect that I am moving but not the exact location, maybe slightly delay. I keep seeing the msg "Searching for Gps" and the voice navigation will inform me that GPS signal is lost.
I have already tried most of the solutions found on the Internet but none seems to work,
including restarting the phone, install & uninstall the app, clear data, cache.
On Android 7, the developer options does not have the “disable mock gps" option.
There is a "Mock location app" and it shows no mock location detected.
Can someone please help me solve the problem?
Thank you.

cell location in google maps/latitude

Does anyone know how to enable the Verizon Touch Pro (VX6850) to update "My Location"/Latitude in google maps? Searching the google help i found that if you go to Menu --> Help --> About there is "myl: N/A"
according to google help this tells you if you are able to use cell towers to triangulate where you are. Is there a way to enable this?
Just enable the GPS and do it the REAL way
what if you are indoors and cannot get a gps signal like 99% of my day?
Yeah, seriously. I KNOW "My Location" works on other devices (saw it work on a blackberry with my own eyes in a verizon store) and I updated to the new rom that supposedly enabled gps (and hopefully the "my location" functionality) and I enabled "location based services" in the options dialog of the phone settings menu item. and it still doesn't work. Any guesses as to if this is a Google problem? A verizon problem? or an HTC (PDC) problem? any registry settings we know of related to location based services? anyone? Thread bump?
I wonder the same but for a different reason, I use Navizon and it records the cell tower data and gives me points for it, I don't get access to it with the touch pro, only to wifi.

Location on maps using Gtab and TNT4.4

Does location work on GTAB and TNT4.4?
It hasn't for me. I think the app only uses network and gps to get location. I could be wrong but that is the only connection missing.

There is no GPS within the gTab, so location cannot be automatically determined as it might be on a smartphone. Near as I can tell, some have worked that out via tethering a smartphone or attaching an external GPS via USB, but I haven't figured this out yet.
I just tried tetherGPS from the market and it worked for me. I have a Nexus One running Cyanogen and it comes with mobile hot spot enabled. I turned on my mobile hot spot, connected the gtab via wifi and ran navigation on the gtab. Worked perfectly! I used the lite version but if I can figure a way to mount the gtab in the car then I will pay for it, no question about it.
i have used BlueGps and have my bluetooth gps connected. But google maps tells me to enable "My Location". Where do i find that option ? Im using TnT LIte 4.4
from your home screen:
menu (settings) --> location & security
check USE GPS SATELLITES
also be sure to enable 'mock locations'
menu (settings) --> Applications --> Development
check ALLOW MOCK LOCATIONS
That's how I'm getting messed up. I have no option under location & security for GPS. I do have the option for mock locations.
No location services
Me neiher. Is it something to do with having changed the ROM to TNT lite?

[Q] Tasker question: toggle "acces to my location"

Hi everyone,
I am not sure it this is the best place to ask this question, if not, no problem if it is moved to the right one.
I am a new user of the app "Tasker" and I really like it. One of the things I want to do is to turn on GPS and "Wi-Fi & mobile network location" automatically when launching some apps like Maps, Navigation, Endomondo, Sygic, etc. and turn off both when closing them to save battery when no using those apps.
I handle to activate GPS when launching apps and turn off on exit task but I cannot find the task to turn on/off "Wi-Fi & mobile network location". If it is not possible, I could use "access to my location" option (which includes GPS and wi-fi & mobile network location".
Another question is that I want to know if it is possible to make a task to activate pattern security. I usually use slide security on lock screen but when it is connected to a wifi (like at work) I want to activate pattern security on lock screen.
I am using Android 4.1 (CM10.1).
Thanks in advance.
I can answer myself. It is possible installing Secure Settings from Play Store

Hi magarto,
Can you please share your Tasker GPS job? I have installed Secure Settings and setup a Trigger, action and task in Tasker. But it is not functioning as you described ...
Can you help me out? Thx.

Where can I find that "access my location" option? Because I've been looking all over for it and can't find it oO

[Q] Android won't use geo location of my wifi

Hey,
so I've got this weird problem where Android apparently ignores the location of my wifi. But let me explain:
Whenever I'm at home google now suggests that my current location is not where I currently am but rather 10 to 15 miles away from my home address.
That is kind of annoying because I get wrong weather updates, location based reminders will not work on my home address and my location history is a complete mess.
Android primarily uses these three methods for checking on your location:
- gps
- cell towers
- wifi
am I right?
So I did some tests:
1. Testing gps
In location settings I checked "Device only" (so that it would only use gps for determining my location) and opened maps
-> works flawlessly
2. Testing wifi
In location settings I checked "Battery saving" (only wifi and mobile networks). And activated airplane mode to ensure that it could not use mobile networks for location.
Reboot (any kind of "location cache" should then be wiped, I guess).
-> works flawlessly
3. Testing cell towers (mobile networks)
In location settings I checked "Battery saving" (only wifi and mobile networks) and then disabled wifi. In advanced wifi settings I unchecked "Scanning always available" (so that it could not scan for wifi networks even though I disabled wifi).
Reboot (any kind of "location cache" should then be wiped, I guess).
-> does not work flawlessly. It determines the wrong location (that google now always uses).
I live in a more rural part of the country so it makes perfect sense that mobile networks cannot determine my exact location, but why would Android ignore the wifi location (as we have seen, it knows where my wifi is located, otherwise it could not have shown me my correct location in test 2), when I'm signed in on the wifi network?
I tested this on two different devices (Moto X stock / HTC One S with CM 11).
Is there anything I could do?
*bumping
No one knows?
Could someone (who preferably lives on countryside, lol) try to reproduce this or tell me if this is how android is supposed to work (this wouldn't make any sense to me, though).
// This is the right board for this kind of question, isn't it? If not, feel free to move this thread :>
*bump
I still have no idea why this is happening.
If this is the wrong board please tell me or move the thread.
Have you ever had a GPS lock while being connected to the WLAN network? I would assume Google learns the MAC addresses and WLAN SSIDs and correlates them to your location ...

Yes. I'm using maps quite frequently (with gps enabled ofc).
But I am pretty sure google already knows the correct location of my wfi, since when I activate airplane mode and check "Battery saving" (only wifi and mobile networks are being used for location) in location settings, my correct location is determined. Since the airplane mode is activated it means that my phone can only use wifi for determining my location.
But as soon as I disable airplane mode my location is wrong again.
So I would conclude that, although google knows the correct location of my wifi, it just prioritizes mobile networks for some reason. Which is driving me insane.

This is still bugging me. I mean I can't be the only one.
*bamp
The problem is still existent and is bugging me.
The forums look different now.
*bomp
I wish someone knew what causes this behavior.
*bemp
Even after all this time the problem still exists.

No answers

So I guess there is no solution?
Anyway, I will keep bumping this thread but less frequent.

Please help! Location/ permission problem

I rooted my OnePlus 6T a couple of weeks ago following the XDA tutorial and everything was working perfectly until yesterday when for no apparent reason non-Google LLC apps stopped recognizing my location/ location permissions. Find My Device and Google Maps work fine except for when in Maps I tap on Settings> Location accuracy tips I get the message: "To continue, turn on device location...etc." but location is already on and the app has location permission.
Some not working apps and their error messages include:
Pokemon Go: GPS signal not found
Harry Potter Wizards Unite: GPS permission required
Waze: No GPS reception
GPS Status & Toolbox: Looking for GPS location (never finds my location)
GPS Joystick: Loading (never finds my location)
Uber: Your pickup point isn't showing up on the map
I have tried everything I can think of/ find on the internet but nothing has worked. I have tried restarting the phone, toggling on/off location, toggling airplane mode, toggling wifi/ bluetooth scanning, location mocking app, app permissions, network reset, uninstall/ reinstall apps and find my device. I don't know what else to try.
If anyone can assist with my problem it would be greatly appreciated
