I am curious, is it possible to fake your GPS location with mock locations turned off? There is an app I am running that I am trying to make think that I am in Japan however the app will not run properly if mock locations are enabled. If it isn't possible then that's cool I just figured I would ask.

I have a small question, in android you can turn on Mock location so that you can fake the location where u actualy are.
There are applications that can detect that mock location is turned on in android so it blocks some possibilities becouse they want taht you really are on that place.
Is there a possibility that the application can not detect that mock location is turned on?
I use the samsung galaxy s1 with gingerbread.
i have an s3 running cyanogenmod 10, and the GPS works better than any other phone i have had, rarely any issues locking on a location. but it seems like after i play with the "fake GPS" app with mock locations turned on, and then turn it off and close the app, my GPS doesn't want to connect for the rest of the day.
i will have my GPS location set with fake GPS because i work inside a building with no GPS reception all day, and at the end of the day I turn it off. i can't get a GPS singnal for the rest of the evening. "GPS Status" app shows around 15 satellites but it won't connect to any of them even if i reboot the phone. by morning, it's working fine.
so, i am wondering if there is something else i need to do after i use mock locations, or if using mock locations hurts the GPS.
thanks for any info.

Hi Guys,
I know of the solution of using Fake GPS apps that employ mock locations in the developer settings. Does anyone know a solution (device is rooted, xposed installed too) to spoof location for a single app only? I want to toggle and use GPS for all other applications independently using my built-in GPS, but for that app to work properly my location needs to stay the same all the time.
Thanks,
mk
I havê looked far and wide for gps spoofing apps that could mock a certain location, without issue, but I keep getting what pokemon go spoofers call rubberbanding.
I was looking to mock my location so I could manage to meet Someone while maintaining my location at my job, to elude my wife, who hás access to my location history on her phone. My thoughts were on having a way to disable and reenable the antenna, thus being able to trick google's play services with a spoofing app. But I do not know how to code.
I am on an Oukitel U15pro, stock rom, and have my phone rooted with Magisk because of my banking apps.
Thank you.
I have installed a fake GPS application (Lockito) and set it up as Mock Location App. It doesn't actually matter which one I use, it's always the same behaviour.
I start a route, but it's jumping to my real location every 4 to 5 seconds, stays there for a similar amount of time and jumps back to my faked location.
My understanding is that this mock locations dev option would overrule ANY location update from somewhere else, but seems it isn't.
What I tried:
- Device administrator: turn off any administrator
- Location set to "GPS only".
- turn off wifi scanning
- smalli patch activated in magisk (with mock location checked)
- fused location on (or off) -- no change in behaviour
- Using the "experimental mode" of Fake GPS routes: no change in behaviour
- Google Play Services 21.2.12-16 (I tried uninstalling the current version, but this leaves my fake gps app not working)
- Installing the app as a system app (restart afterwards): no change compared with the normal
- Google Maps 10.47.1 (reverted this back to 9.26.1)
So, what I'm wondering is: what process is injecting my real location?
And should that even happen when using the mock locations? As far as I know if I would be using mock locations it should just use this info as my gps information... And not use any other data?
Does anyone have any hints on what I can still try?

Find your location settings on system settings, select your Google account then turn off location accuracy, you want the location setting on, but you don't want the improved accuracy.

Thanks. This I knew already. Yesterday night I finally figured it out what was going on & posted it here: forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83200513&postcount=6163.
