Hello,
I have bought the Chinese PHABLET and before returning it or attempting to root (if failed) trying to find fix to GPS location services on it.
(not rooted, hence very many apps dont work and most importantly GooglePlay doesn't install/work properly, more about it : .xda-developers.com/showthread.php ?t=2637534 )

It was meant to have Maps and Location working, but it doesn't
General Location services settings
In having all of the features on- it works by locating device, but never gets SatNav accuracy of GPS (only by wifi location)
So back to the alternative ways through GPS EPO settings
Set correctly, I believe
and by luck I discovered, that this tablet using Mediatek components
In having settings as such it keeps on looking for GPS and no application managed to fix GPS positions...
in GPS a-GPS settings are two choices either NOKIA
or GOOGLE
Could somebody guide towards the answer regarding GPS not fixing?
Thanks!
Here are few more screen-shots:
I managed to get satellites to be in a view of few different apps, though none locks to them in neither configuration...
Is it permanent/terminal in such circumstances?
Whilst Android is primarily google's proprietary OS, used in non approved (supported of) device makes it useless in ever so many aspects, unless I'd find a way to make it think- it is googlePlay supported?
Or is it something in GPS configuration I could do, before attempting to root it?
Thanks!

Hi there,
Over the past week or so I have noticed that my battery is going down a LOT faster than usual...
The culprit is "gpsd" that is using upwards of 30% of my battery every charge...
I have looked through everything that uses the gps and it's all either off or not using it.
How do I find out who / what is keeping gpsd going and make it play nice, or die?

Hopes help.

Definition - gpsd*is a daemon that receives data from a GPS receiver, and provides the data back to multiple applications such as Kismet or GPS navigation software. It thus provides a unified interface to receivers of different types, and allows concurrent access by multiple applications.
Workarounds - Look for every GPS associated application on your device. Make sure to switch off GPS.
Go to Settings, then to Application Manager or Apps. And find the GPS associated apps, open them and force stop them. Sometimes they auto run and can cause battery drains.
Tell me how this goes for you.
Sent from my Nexus 5
All apps that need location services disabled / uninstalled and it's still there...
Okay...
Just wiped and re-flashed rom... no apps installed aside from BetterBatteryStats and GPSD is still there...
Maybe time to find something other than Omega
Hello All,
On both my wife's and my Tmobile S7s running 6.01 on the November security patch, the location services are terrible. The phone keeps thinking I am at my house when I am 20 miles away at work. My wife has the same problem. If I toggle location services off then on, it instantly updates to the correct location. Eventually if defaults back to my house. This wouldn't be such a huge deal if I didn't have a SmartThings home automation system. SmartThings keeps unlocking my front door, turning on lights, and putting the heat back on because according to the phone I am at my house and the automation kicks in. Here is what I have done to try to fix the location issue:
- Location on with method = GPS, Wi-Fi, and mobile networks.
- Improved accuracy on with Wi-Fi scanning and Bluetooth Scanning enabled.
- Under Optimize Battery usage, I have unoptimized Location Services (meaning it should always be running).
Does anyone else have this problem with their S7s? If it were jsut mine, I would chalk it up to a faulty device, but it is happening to my wifes as well. Any other tricks to make this stop happening?
Check your apps to make sure the location permission hasn't been unchecked. Exactly which app could be missing that is hard to say. A factory reset might be your friend for this kind of situation.

I got a Moto G phone running Oreo. I have a firewall installed, and its logs show an app with the name "System" trying to connect to various AWS hosted addresses. The phone is not rooted. I am trying to find out which process this System actually is, and what is its purpose. I am trying to somehow capture some traffic and find something.
If anyone knows what exactly this is and whether I should be worried or not, please let me know.
Here are some of them:

I found some more information using logcat:
[ 10-19 17:12:33.467 1229: 1309 E/LocSvc_xtra2 ]
connect:204] connect to 54.230.93.211 failed
This is one of the IPs that System process is trying to connect. Some googling tells that this is Location Service being used probably. I have GPS turned off completely when I don't need it. I have also given access to GPS only to OpenMaps application which isn't running at the moment. All google apps are in disabled state.
I also noticed that these connection attempts happen every 5-6 minutes.
I cannot use strace as don't have root. I am trying to route the traffic from the phone through my PC to be able to capture network traffic.
Hi i need to spoof location without jumping to real location,
My redmi 9 power is rooted.
Tried to use directly without moving gps app into system app but failed ( location jumping).
Tried to move gps spoof apps as system app but failed ( mount: 'system' not in /proc/mounts

Tried mock location enabling with gps joystick app fixing gps jump to real location.
All above are failed to prevent jumping to real location.
Please help anyone.
If option "Allow mock location / mock gps" is offered in Android Settings -> Developer options and got enabled by you - and phone gets rebooted afterwards - then GPS Spoofing should work, IMO.
Thanks for your answer.
As you said mock location was enabled but still it was jumping to real location, so i was going to reboot the device, but opened the spoof app check how spoof will works before and after the reboot.
Once i open the app I got shocked !!!
Its not jumping to real location at all.
Keep checked for an half an hour but still not jumping
So i decided not to reboot untill it jump to real location,
One thing i dont feel it works forever.
If it jumps surely try your idea.
Thank you very much for the answer.
Hello,
I've recently got OP8T and I was not planning to use Google account on it as I simply don't need it. But since the start I'm having issues with location GPS, the issue is when I'm inside buildings it's not finding location by network/BT etc. eventhough in settings I switched it on. Only GPS outside of buildings works. Another issue is that I do not see maps in different apps like uber or food delivery apps. So I thought the issue might be because of my lack of Google account login, but when I tried to login I get this error "Couldn't sign it - there was a problem communicating with Google servers".
So I'm a bit stuck with lack of network localization, lack of maps in apps, and can't login to Google.
Any idea how to fix any of those issues? Photos of those issues here: IMG
Thanks a lot.

from the screen shots you provided you do not have cell service.
is the radio broken or are you running without a sim?
I tried both, with sim and without. The solution was hard reset and now it works. Thanks for help anyway.
