Spoofing GPS jumps to random positions - General Questions and Answers

I did not find similar 3rds or subforums, so I hope to be right posting here.
I had a Samsung Galaxy S5 not rooted, used a GPS spoofing app in order to play Pokemon Go from home and it worked fine up to a few days ago. Then suddenly once the spoof is activated the location jumps randomly from one to another, not only in the game, also in google maps. I did a factory reset, installed only game and spoof app, but problem persisted. So I decided to root it using magisk and use the spoof app as a system app: again, same problem. I thought it were a problem of the phone itself, decided to get a new one, found a P8 Lite 2017, flashed TWRP, installed Magisk 16, installed spoofing app as system app....same behaviour.

Any hints?

They may have found a way to patch it. Or find a different spoofing app.

Does anyone have problem with their phones after play service update?

Guys,
My phone started to behave abnormally after updating to may 10th google play services. I constantly lose wifi and my phone gets frozen. I gotta retart it in every hour.
Also whenever i send a location it says "google services are updating" i uninstalled services and it updated itself then problems started again.
When the phone get frozen the heat increases like crazy and the battery depletes itself enermously if i dont restart it.
When i lose wifi i cannot see any other wifi networks in the settings. I lose them all and it appears as if there are no wifi networks.
I also wonder if this could be a battery issue? I will reset to factory settings tonight if noone has an answer to this.
Thanks. I am on aura 2.2 rom the latest version
I am also having an issue with google play services. I am using sport tracking apps and they all show google play services updating.
Do you also get random crashes and freezes? I checked many forums, it is very common among huawei users right now. It has affected many phones and you can find many complaints about it. But google provided no support right now.
I also read that factory resetting is not solving the issue. So i am not gonna waste time on that and wait for a new update.
But i can tell for the first time i regret using a huawei phone. Deeply loving it made me cover its faulty updates but i got tired of restarting the phone hourly
I had the exact same issues you described. Google Street View, Uber, and other apps would display 'google services are updating' and not work at all.
Fixed it by leaving the Google Play Services beta testing channel. I'm now running version 12.6.73 (040400) and all's back to normal.
On the other hand my P20 is still on the beta channel 12.6.73 (040408) and no issues.
There's an ongoing thread about an issue which seems what you're talking and is specific to Huawei phones. My problem related to this, is that I can't logon on Chrome... More details in the link below

Hi, on my Mate 9 in my Car with Android Auto, the Google Assistent dont run, and says everytime when i activate it: "There is no stable Internet Connection"
I hope google or Huawai will it correct it
Hello,
Same problems with my Mate 9 MHA-L09
It was said that this bug is reported by many people in Google issue tracker. Lots of Google Maps apps such as Uber and Taxify don't work well. It looks like wide range of Huawei devices is severely impacted by latest Play Services update to version 12.6.73. A good news is Google is working on it.
Two temporary solution for an end-user to try:
1. Clear cache & data of Google Play services
2. Go to Setting - App - Google Play Services, disable it to go back factory version.
Restart the phone and go to Google Play Store to do the update on Google Play Services.
Wonder if this is the same "bug" I've been having trouble with. Sometimes, & I can't nail down how it happens, if I wake up the phone, and it could have been screen off for 5 minutes, all night, 20-30 minutes...no pattern, that after waking it up, tap on anything and it might be 10-20 seconds before it does anything. EVERY app is like that. I thought it might have been with Nova launcher, but that doesn't seem to be it, rebooting the phone appears to "fix it". Just dumped cache on play, stopped, uninstalled, rebooted (play store isn't showing any updates, still at 11.xx). I'll just watch it and see how it act.
By me its help Temporary, Everythings run until the next restart of my phone and my smartwatch must reset to
So far, almost 24 hours later, dumping the storage, stopping, "uninstalling" the play services, and going back to the stock one (11.xx) seems to have cured my "lag". Everything is snappy again.
Can someone confirm that with this issue ongoing you can open events in the Calendar app? If possible from an Exchange account...
Currently I open Calendar, select an event, it opens and immediately closes. So Calendar now is also unusable for me What's going on?
Thanks!

Exact same problem. When did it start?
I am solving the issue by hard resetting, uninstalling play services and when i update sometime later my phone starts losing wifi and battery is getting drained incredibly fast. Something gotta be related wtih the play services but no solution yet

I started to notice it about a week, after the security patch for my phone (U.S.367, april C567 patch)
It has been fixed I am on beta play services and google.

Yes it has been fixed (sic!) with version 12.6.85 from version 12.6.73. The big errors have been fixed on software such as Uber and Map programmes. Still awaiting to see if the hardware problems are sorted, (my phone would be hot to the touch to the extent that glue on the phone cover would soften and become pliable).
To summarise.... So far so good.
I can confirm, I have upgraded to 12.6.85 earlier today and so far so good.
Clear now
So far, almost a week into the update, no issues on my end with the phone lagging.

Do the NatWest and RBS apps now reject rooted/failed Safety Net users?

The latest updates to these apps on the 18th and 19th of June 2018 produce "Error 04 Security Check failed" at launch. Dismissing the message exits the app.
Rolling back to the previous versions of the apps or even a year old version fixes the problem (for now).
Are these apps finally rejecting 'insecure' devices?
I've got the same error.
It was working this morning but root was disabled as I had done a software update a few days ago and not reinstalled magisk.
Installed 05.09.0000.43.0 May 14, 2018 from apkmonk and I can login again.
Every week I'm almost finding more reasons to give up on rooting. I only use it for a few convenience things mainly but they are so useful. I couldn't have a phone without online banking though...
Just point your stock web browser at nwolb.com.

Not really the same though? The login process takes longer, the information isn't as nicely formatted etc..

If you use natwest current version you will get this error if you are rooted - I tried using magisk and hide root but that did not work.
use natwest app version V05.03.0001.125.0 this one will not detect root but it is not as secure as the latest version
https://natwest.en.aptoide.com/?store_name=monadiva&app_id=30626821
I spoke to Natwest support about this and got a call back from one of their techies... he stated that the error message was not from the Natwest app, but from Android itself... this could mean (if true) that Natwest isn't checking for root, but offloading the check onto Google Pay, which in turn gives the error 04...

Interesting..
I also saw that they are now saying that finger print logins will not work unless you update. Can't do fingerprint anyway because of root etc..
Update: I received a text message saying that older versions of the app will no longer work in 30 days.
You are using an old version of our app which we will be switching off in 30 days. To continue to use our Mobile Banking app, you will need to update your phones operating system to 6.0 and visit your app store to update to the latest version of our app. If you are unable to update your phones operating system, you can continue to use Online Banking as an alternative.

The most recent version of the app (Dec-3rd-2018, 05.14.0000.63.0) continues to give the aforementioned error message. In the meantime, I will continue to use version 05.14.0000.36.0.
It would be nice for Natwest to give an official statement on this.

I've not received a text but keep getting a popup when I login...
Not sure what version I'm on though ... no idea what will do if it stops working
I had the same problem too. I have figured out that the incompatibility seems not to be with root but with Xposed.
The app works with root enabled, it does not when Xposed is on.
Here how I managed to make it work:
I uninstalled the app, disabled root from my settings, turned off Xposed, restarted the phone and then installed the app again.
The RBS app worked perfectly, also with root on, until I re-enabled Xposed. Once I enable Xposed, I get the Error 04 message.
It works again every time I disable Xposed and restart the phone. It is a bit of a workaround but it works, and luckily it is not an app I use every day.
I am on an S5 with Lineage 15.1.
I can also confirm the issue is with xposed. If you turn off xposed from the installer and an then reboot, the app banking app will work fine.
I have tried installing NatWest in the work profile using the Islands app but it didn't work. The Sudohide xposed module also didn't work. There are no relevant permissions in the NatWest app that can be revoked.
Maybe something similar to DBXposed module could be a workaround?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/dbxposed-bypass-root-xposed-detection-t3536406
I have no experience in compiling or programming though
I suppose if you turn off Xposed from the installer all of the xposed modules stop working?
Got my 29 day count down now before this version of Natwest stops working .. ugh ... theres just a few simple things I have on Xposed but they make the phone so much better.. e.g. Xinsta and ChromePie

I have systemless Xposed installed meaning that it can be disabled really easily from within the app. A soft reboot keeps some of my modules to continue working such as the cosmetic tweaks.
The reboot process takes about 45 seconds each way but I'm finding myself using the browser website for quick transfers anyway.
Hi guys, i was researching a bit how to make natwest app working along with magisk and edxposed, i found that adding natwest to edxposed blacklist did the job, since i saw natwest has an activity looking for hooks...
As simple fingerprint works
Of course also box checked in magisk hide

Have you cleared natwest data app before?
After set natwest in magiskhide and set natwest in edxposed blacklist can try to clean dalvik and reboot...
It's kinda strange indeed, on my tablet lenovo running aospextended natwest works outofthebox without doin nothing apart from set it into magiskhide, on mi mix3 it worked only after setting it into magiskhide and edxposed blacklist.... It should work as well putting magisk into core mode, but no modules get loaded, so you need reboot, use natwest and then reboot again to reload modules...

Completely forgot to answer this, but i'd tried literally everything!
Updated the natwest app last night and it's now working again (I do still have it added to the the blacklist in Edxposed, and magisk hide set)
I also updated to 05.18.0000.85.0 and it is working now with xposed and root. I am not using any masking tools.
Updated to latest version today as it said app would stop working in couple of days. With magisk hide on and xposed disabled I still get an error and can't login.

Magisk Rooted + Barclays App, can't use fingerprint authentication

OnePlus 7 , OOS 10.0.7 GM57BA
- rooted with Magisk
- busybox installed
- NO Xposed!!
- magisk package name changed
- magisk Hide enabled in settings
- safetyNet passed
- packages hidden: Barclays and com.anfroid.phone
Issue: cannot set up fingerprint authentication in Barclays app. It works well in any other apps. When following the procedure, the app throws an error T0009 and the message "Error during fingerprint authentication/registration"
I contacted the Barclays team, they don't seem to have the error in their errors list. Possibly to be forwarded from the system?
I also tried to hidein magisk the fingerprint authentication services com.qualcomm.qti.biometrics.fingerprint.service
Maybe I didn't hide all services involved in fingerprint authentication? What else should I try to hide from root?
I'm looking for suggestions.
Hi,
i've got the same issue for ages (with my previous OP6 too) and it's the same with the BA Amex app.
I think it's just an issue of these apps with our OP7 phone?
Have you ever been able to make it work with the phone un-rooted?

Yes, my wife's phone (also OP) was never rooted and it worked just fine. OP5T, then OP7 and now OP8. And yes, the OP7 Which is mine now,was hers before.
On the default phone configuration it seems to be working just fine.

oh interesting! i don't think i've ever tried to used these apps with an unrooted phone.
Please let me know if you manage to solve this issue
Same problem forever with Barclays and OP6
I have the same issue with my OP8T, rooted with patched Magisk image, MagiskHide, but otherwise stock OS. I'm also unable to get any useful information out of Barclays.
This worked fine on my OP3T so it seems to be something with the newer phones.
Hello guys,
I have the same issue with my OP8P, magisk hide,safety net passed. I have another banking app which is working perfect but this for some reason it is not working
I've just had my S9+ replaced on insurance. However I've had to have the phone replaced again as the first replacement they sent had an issue with the touchscreen.
My original phone worked fine with fingerprint authentication in banking apps.
The first replacement I rooted with Magisk and both my banking apps worked OK, but the newest replacement doesn't work with either banking app and just errors when trying to enable fingerprint authentication.
All phones were running the same Alexis ROM, same configuration with Magisk and same kernel.
Really weird.

NFC not working properly

I cant get NFC to work properly. My phone is able to read cards and tags in NFC mode but it doesnt emit anything. E.g. google pay is not working.
I have ArrowOS 11 with latest MIUI firmware.
I tried with my wifes NFC phone and my Poco can register signal from her phone but not the other way around.
Im thinking firmware issues or something with ArrowOS?
Any ideas?
I've got a similar issue, I can't get NFC payments to work. Also using Arrow OS 11 (latest release) with the newest miui firmware. Tried to root my phone with Magisk 24 to see if this works but until now without any success. Any help would be great.
I was able to get mine to work yesterday using an apple 12 as reciever.
The signal is insanely weak, i literally had to use a precise angle at a certain spot on the iphone to get a registration.
There is no way to get a card terminal to register anything this NFC emits. Seems it has to be closer than a few millimeters apart to get any registration.
Which is strange because i can scan tags/cards that are a few cm away without issue..
Im thinking this is a hardware issue

Question Google Wallet on MIUI 14?

Anyone got Google Wallet with NFC working on MIUI 14? I previously had it working on MIUI 13 but not since I upgraded.
Ok solved my own problem. In case anyone might be interested, my problem was that one of the Magisk modules (i.e. AndroPlus's Google Assistant module) was "disabling" my NFC. Once I turned off that module, it all worked again.

Since your phone is rooted it should be no problems. Make sure you have the magisk module "universal safety net fix" and don't use AndroPlus's Google Assistant magisk module. It should work, if not then disable all other modules and see if it works. If it does, then its one of the modules causing the problem. That was the issue with mine.
FYI in case anyone is interested, I have a Mix fold 2, MIUI 14, unrooted, and I finally worked out how to get Google Pay/wallet working on it without rooting.
Instead of adding the card from the Google Pay app which would give me an error every single time, I went into my internet banking app on the fold 2 and started digging through my banking app settings. In those settings, I found a "cards" section, and, 'lo and behold, there beside my regular card was a little G pay icon. After clicking the icon, my banking app downloaded google pay onto the fold for me, sent me confirmation code by text and this time, NO ERRORS! It all went smoothly. I have used my phone to pay 4 times today and it's working like a charm.
I'm in Australia, using National Australia Bank.
I'm so thrilled, as it's been a couple of years since I rooted anything, and I didn't want to do it on something as nice or expensive as the fold (not for some time yet anyway).
