Hi!
I want to simulate wallking with any fake gps app, and measure distance with another android app. The problem is what the other app doesn't recognize the fake location and
doesn't measure the wallked distance. The phone is Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G. I need a help to make this two apps work sincronized. I can give you details about other application.
Thanks.

Hi all
I'm searching the web for some time now, including this great forum here, but cannot find relevant information.
So I decided to raise this question to the XDA developer community.
I noticed that some GPS applications measure/display a incorrect altitude. (i.e. Maverick)
It looks like those Apps do not apply the NMEA correction.
Other Apps like ORUXmaps have an option to use the NMEA altitude correction.
So far so good. But on other Galaxy SII phones (with identical configurations) it seems that all Apps deliver the correct Altitude.
So there is maybe a difference in configuration of the phones.
My question to you is, if there is a general setting to enable NMEA correction or if each App has to apply that correction itself.
Is it maybe hidden inside the service menu ?
My phone:
Galaxy S II
ICS 4.0.3
Thanks in advance

I want my phone to use cell towers (and GPS when I turn it on) to keep track of me so that if I give someone a URL, they will always be able to see where I am (approximately) on a Google Map.
It seems that Real Time GPS Tracker *kind of* does this, but it requires GPS to be on and not just cell towers. It also renders it on it's own iframed map, not a stand-alone Google Map.

Look up "Glympse" in the google play store.
Who do you want to share this with? If you trust them on your google account, google does it automatically.

I used Instamapper for years until it shut down. I *believe* this is a "rebirth" of the same service and app, but I am not 100% sure.
Was a great app, haven't tried the new one.

Hi everyone,
I was hoping to write a biofeedback app for the edge 6 taking advantage of its various sensors (heart rate, SpO2, etc.), but I can't find if there's actually a way to access them.
The Samsung documentation mostly deals with (in mangled English) how to access their S Health app and database, not the actual sensors.
Does someone know if it's possible and where the programming info is?
Thanks!
Hi,
i would like to know if there are any GPS Tracking Apps for Androidthat can remotely enable GPS if it is off. I would like to keep GPS off from our phones, unless needed. All the apps i have seen seem to require the GPS to be enabled before hand for tracking. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, if something like this doesn't exist, are there any apps that have pretty good privacy, such as it doesn't sell or share Personally identifiable information... maybe strips that?
Thanks!
No you will not find anything like that outside of government tools.
Best option is Google I think. I disable my GPS completely so can't be sure.
Starting with Android 6(?) your app needs the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission and the user has to turn on the system-wide location setting in order to scan for Bluetooth devices from the app: https://stackoverflow.com/questions...-bluetooth-low-energy-scanning-on-android-6-0
Google is arguing that you could use just the Bluetooth data to find the location of the phone and thus hid Bluetooth scanning behind the location permission. (Which my opinion is ridiculous because they could have added a separate permission instead of forcing the user to give up all their battery life to GPS and WiFi location tracking.)
Now with Android 8 there appears to be a new API, namely the CompanionDeviceManager:
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/companion-device-pairing
This API only seems to require adding the FEATURE_COMPANION_DEVICE_SETUP feature to the manifest, but yet it allows scanning for Bluetooth devices, even with the system-wide location setting turned off.
Now I'm wondering if that API is somehow anonymizing the Bluetooth data, e.g. by removing the MAC addresses or what else could be the reason for why Google thinks that this does not need to be hidden behind the location permissions?
No one?
Any suggestions on other forums where people might be able to help me?
Don't think anyone here can answer your question.
Damn... I was really hoping to find an anser to this. :/
