inaccurate GPS data after using FakeLocation app - General Questions and Answers

Hello, I spoofed my location with FakeLocation app prior my trip to somewhere. So I'm not sure if my problem related with spoofing or not, because I actually visited that place for couple days.
Google Maps shows the location I spoofed first then after couple seconds shows my real location. İf I close/open app it happens again. Yandex Map stucks on wrong location permanetly. I searched on the forum and Google before posting this thread and tried all of the solutions recommended. I'm trying to fix this over 2 weeks now.
I turned off Mocked Location on developer setttings
I deleted app data/cache uninstalled/installed Google Maps
I deleted app data/cache of Google Play
I tried to deleted Google Location History (it was turned of already)
I opened/closed High accuracy/Wifi/Bluetooth Scans
I tried to reset A-GPS data with GPS Status App and GPS Locker
I wiped dalvik/cache on TWRP
I installed lastest Eurom for my phone
+GpsFİx Apps shows
Android GPS Provider - Spoofed Location
Android Network Provider - Spoofed Location
Google Play Services - Real Location
+CIT GPS test (Hardware Test) Passes with Real Location
I feel like I tried evertyhing except factory resetting. Do you have any recommendations?

Google now doesn't work

It says you have no location services. Did you freeze location services? Do location services work?

Maybe location is broken on this rom? Which rom is it ? Try to use google maps or something like that to check location ?
Just turn on Location Services, as it's needed for Google Now (as it says on screen)

Nope. Google now does not need location services running. It doesn't know your location tho, so asking the time or weather....you sometimes need to specify where, like, what's the weather tomorrow in new york city. Or what time is it in wherever. And saying navigate to wherever wont work, since the phone wont know where you are. I just toggle location on to do that. Then off after again.
Otherwise location can be totally off and Google now should still work.
So it may be a rom issue he has....or a corruption with Google now.
Try clearing data and cache for Google now, location services, and Google framework. Only idea I have.

but i have two devices having this problem the rom is clean and works good

GPS doesn't work in Google Maps - but is okay in Navigation

I've got a problem. When I open Google Maps it doesn't seem to activate my GPS so my location is decided by the operator-network and/or wifi, and is not very precise. I've tried to keep Google Maps open for a long time but my location is never that precise as when the GPS is activated. Also if I log into Android Device Manager on the web, I only get a location with an accuracy of 1.5-2 kilometres so that's neither located by GPS.
But if I then enter a route in Google Maps and use the Navigation, the GPS is turned on and everything is fine. It's the same if I use Sygic GPS Navigation. I've got Avast Anti-Theft installed on my phone and if I log into avast.com and send a location command to my phone, it's also located by GPS with an accuracy of 5 metres.
I've installed 'GPS Status & Toolbox' and set the app to show an icon in my navigation bar when the GPS is used. And it's the same as described above - when Google Maps is open there's no icon but when I use Navigation the icon it's there.
I'm pretty sure that on my last phone (Samsung Galaxy S II) with Android 4.4.2 Google Maps also used the GPS and I've got a precise location every time, so my question is how to get it in the same way on my new phone (Sony Xperia Z1) with Android 4.4.4? There are many times I just want to see on Google Maps exactly where I am without using the Navigation directions to a specific location.

Have either of you guys tried clearing app data and see if that works? Every once in a while I get that to resolve my issues.

i don't know about the gps not turning on at all, but it is a somewhat known bug on googles end when wifi is used to help location services, it frequently causes accuracy issues.
try turning off your wifi and see how it acts.
Yeah, off wifi it's more accurate. But yes, rooter, just cleared my app data and that did the trick, thanks.

[Completed] [Q] Grey WiFi signal, can't connect to google play or google servers

I've already checked all the threads and researched about this for 5 days now.
Background: this all started to happen when I cleared data for google services framework. After clearing it, the wifi signal turned grey and I can't connect to google playstore anymore.
Read carefully: I have already tried all of these,
- turn wifi on/off
- cleared data for download manager
- not a router problem.
- turn airplane mode on/off
- cleared cache/ clear data for google play store, google play services, google service framework
- remove/add my google account
- editing hosts file (my hosts file only has one line, no second IP address. But regardless, i tried adding a second one with #)
I literally tried every known method here on the internet. Any help would be appreciated.
Sir,
Please give us some details about your device.
Thanks

How to fix Google Play Services Has Stopped ?

Hi all.
Out of the blue I got this error message every minute.
I use Unofficial Beanstalk ROM 5.0.2.
Stock kernel.
I cleared cache, and Dalvik. I also cleared cache of Google Play Services and Google Services Framework.
But this error keeps coming back.
I haven't changed anything in the phone nor have I messed with any system settings.
I can't find any decent solution to the problem.
The apk shows version 7.5.71 (1955121-438)
Appreciate your help.

AFAIK, there is no "decent" solution at this time.
Please change your Location setting to Device Only. It will stop the FCs for the time being.

No one knows why it happens or how to solve this? wierd.
How is this related to device location settings?
Out of nowhere I get "Google Play Services" has stopped working messages like every 20sek. Working with the phone is impossible and my Moto 360 doesn't work anymore either Using Stockrom CM12S with franco kernel, any ideas or solution?
Same problem here. This is so annoying!
Will try "device only" now. AFAIK this uses only GPS to get your current location - so this should dramaticly increase battery drain, right?
This trick didn't help
Same case. I am also getting these errors. there are solutions people have posted to disable GPS. But the phone is useless when it is without GPS.
Waiting for a fix ASAP.
For me it actually did! In another thread another solution came up: try enabling "keep awake", "wake up" and "autostart" in Privacy Guard for the Google Play Services. This also worked for me (although my Privacy Guard was not enabled for the Google Play Services the settings still did matter! So make sure to really enable them in the submenu!).
The random crashing seems to occur when:
location "high accuracy" PLUS Google Play Services are limited in Privacy Guard (keep awake, wake up, autostart)
Disabling one of the two should fix the problem.
BTW disabling GPS didn't solve the problem for me. "device only" means you only use GPS and not network location. The network location thing is what causes the crashing in combination with the Privacy Guard. So (at least for me) no need to disable GPS.
Looks good. Let me see if there is any issues now. I remember we all changed the "keep awake", "wake up" and "autostart" in Privacy Guard for the Google Play Services in an older version of Google Play Services.
Hope this is all fixed now and should not drain the battery (as it did in previous version).
How I solved the Play Services stopped FCs
Hardly this last version of Google Play Services will work properly, either clearing the data, blocking services on Privacy Guard, etc. Tested many things and the problem comes from the last update of Play Services, which includes in its changelog suspiciously some "Location Api improvements".
In my experience these last days the problem it seems to come when the services requests for location. If you use Apps asking frequently for locations you'll have the error very often, making usefulness your phone, as least mine. Using 3 Apps needing GPS location at same time is frustrating..
How I solved for now:
Go to Play Store, find Google Play Services in your Apps
Click on Uninstall (only will uninstall the last update of Google Play Services).
From that moment, some advice about certain Google Apps (Hangouts, Google Maps, etc.) may appear if you have these Apps installed. Ignore them, otherwise you'll need to update again if you want to use them, but...
But I can't find google play services in play store.
GPS vs Networ in Location fixed

Same as TerrorApple. Disable Location services, but as this is needed often enable Location services only with GPS. This worked for my device

Google Location History just stopped working

Hi guys,
I have a Moto G4 Plus, running stock OS but rooted. I've recently noticed that out of nothing, the Location History feature stopped tracking my locations. Now let's be clear about these things:
1. Location is enabled. Google Maps shows and tracks my location perfectly. GPS Test Plus shows a myriad of satellites. Location IS working.
2. Location History is also enabled.
3. My device, inside Location History, is also enabled, but it says "Location last reported: Sep 29th".
So far I've tried removing and reinstalling Google Maps and erasing the cache partition. Can't think of anything else. I've searched on the net and seems to have affected several people but can't find a solution, and I don't want to do a factory reset.
Anyone here experienced the same?
Thanks!!!
