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.
Hi all,
1.
I have created an application to test my GPS module on my device.
It works well thus far. However, I wonder if there is any possibility can enable
the GPS module without manually.
Here is the scenario, when i execute the application installed on my android
phone, if my GPS is disabled, a dialog will pop up to request the user to enable
the GPS module. Then the screen will turn into the GPS setting option, the user
needs to enable the GPS module manually.
Is there any possibility to enable the GPS module automatically when I execute
my aps on android? I was trying to google it but all reply is this behavior
involves the security issue so that there is other way to do it.
2.
I have an application which can help me test the wifi connectivity.
Again, it works well.
However,is it possible to transfer a file or send data using something like netperf? It is valuable to test this as Tx can use more power and I want to make sure it is functioning well.
Any reply is highly expected.
Thanks all
Can someone please guide me a direction to go?
Any reply will be very appreciated.
Hello. I would like to know how to disable apps from accessing my GPS COMPLETELY (specifically FACEBOOK).
I have installed Lookout Security to locate my phone just in case it's lost or stolen, and thus from now on I will be keeping GPS turned on. I am a "GPS off" kinda guy, but with the security provided by this Lookout app, I feel safer having it on so I know where my phone is. My problem is, I have location turned OFF on facebook for facebook messaging, but every time I open it up, the little GPS icon seems to be active when app is opened. I do not want facebook to have my GPS data in any way shape or form. Also, other apps I do not really want to know my GPS coordinates.
So my question is, is there any kind of other app that I can use to dis-allow certain apps from accessing my GPS? Some apps are OK and I trust, but others just have no reason to be getting my GPS.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Are you rooted? If yes, install Xposed and Xprivacy, then you can change the location behavior per app!

AppOps can show/disable gps per app basis, or you can restrict it via Xprivacy or via PDroid, and and and..
Is there a way to disable fine location for a single app without rooting this phone?
The Garmin app is horrible at keeping GPS wakelocks and killing my battery so I want to allow it access to coarse location only. I still want all my other apps to work as intended so completely disabling gps isn't an ideal solution.
I really don't feel like ripping the APK apart but I may have to if nobody has a solution.
You can edit the location permissions per app and deny Garmin. But I think what you want is to not totally deny location to an app.
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.
