hi, i'm new to this forum.
i purchased a nexus one and im running it on ATT without edge (yet).
now i know that google navigation needs a connection through wifi or data to download the general directions, but does the gps service work through data also? i.e. does the gps connection cost money/ is done through the mobile carrier or is it a connection like a regular gps device that google provides free of charge?
I tried googling this first btw, but could find a clear answer.
thank you
The GPS itself doesn't use data, but loading the maps does.
You'd have to buy and download one of the GPS apps on the Market -- something that stores all the maps on your SD card. Google Maps and Google Navigation stream the maps to your phone through the data connection, so without a data connection you could find your coordinates (since the GPS still functions), but you'd have no idea where those coordinates are.
but the gps use is complementary? google provides the satellite connection for location free of charge?
I've had the gps tracking me while the phone was in airplane mode. I was using one of the GPS speedometers and it seemed to work. That was on my G1, haven't tried it on the nexus yet though.
GPS
GPS has nothing to do with Google or your carrier. GPS coordinate data is a free service provided by the US government to anyone with a compatible device. Like others are saying though, Google Navigation only caches a limited amount of map data on your route, not the whole thing so if you don't have a data connection, you need to buy a different app
i did not realize the US government provided gps services.
i must say i am very impressed by the nexus one a google so far.
Ok, so my phone was recently stolen. It's a Redmi 1S. Location settings are off but has internet connection. Whatsapp is still active on the phone as well as the google account.
I'm able to access some features like remote lock through Android Device Manager.
I find it strange that the phone has not been resetted and the account removed yet, but I was able to lock the phone.
I was able to remotely lock the phone using ADM and I also had the idea of using the browser play store to install an app whenever it connects to the internet.
But, the location settings are off so I am unable to locate it.. is there any way to enable the setting remotely? If I am able to remote lock should there not be a way to turn on GPS remotely?
Is there any app that would turn on GPS as soon as it is installed? That might help...
Looking forward to a few quick and helpful answers..
I am using WanamLite Rom for the Galaxy S6 G920F <http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/development/mod-wanamlite-1-0-t3095155>, and I have Xprivacy and some GPS mocking app installed. I have tried both using ROOT access and allowing GPS mocking in developer mode (and use Mock Mock to remove Mocking state detection), and I have tried both turning off location service and using only GPS on location service as well as deleting Google location history. But I failed to mock location on Uber, Google Map, Baidu Map, and every other apps that detects location on my phone...
Is it that 5.1.1 doesn't support location mocking?
Hi guys.
Is there any phone tracking app that allows to enable Location on your phone remotely?
I just don't want Location sucking battery all day just because I might or might not loose my phone.
I've tried a few apps but those that promised the so called " enable GPS remotely" don't work.
thanks in advance.
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.
