Help Fake GPS use - Gmaps keep switching between real & fake location

Hi guys,
Almost all is in the title : been using different fake gps apps like 'Fake Location Spoofer Free', 'Fake GPS location', etc.. and been habing the same problem everytime.

Using Android 6.0.1 on Nexus 5X.
Location paramater is set to 'Device only'.
Developper mod is activated, and the fake gps app is chosen in 'Mock application'.

Every time I set a fake location in the app, when I open google maps, my position keep switching between real (gps only) and fake (app) locations.

Anyone having the same issue ?

Regards
 

Watch this video, it could help you. Its for pokemon GO tho, but maybe some options will work.
Around 1:50 it starts getting technical
 
I am having the same issue. I put the interval down to lowest setting, but it delinquencies back and forth. I have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth scanning disable. Have device only. Its like the gps sensor refreshes quicker than the fake location app.
 
Maybe try the paid version of one of these apps, see if that makes a difference.
When I stop to think about it, who wouldn't want a piece of this current bonanza. ;)
 
Just a shot in the dark but, when first signing into device and setting up Google, one of the questions is: Allow apps to look for wifi even when wifi is turned off. Sounds like you turned off scanning though. Maybe go into Google settings and delete location history? A little drastic.
 
I have one plus one but I am having same issue.....I did everything suggested above, nothing works. I even deleted location history but no avail...let me know if anyone got the solution.

Thanks :)
 
Hello

I have found solution for this issue on reddit and it worked for me.

"If your GPS is jumping around from your real location to the spoof'd location non stop every few seconds here is a fix you can try. I'm on android had this problem for a while and it was super annoying and got me soft banned a few times.

Go to settings --> Location --> Mode

Make sure it is set to device only. Go check on the scanning tab and make sure WiFi scanning and bluetooth scanning is turned off

install an app from play store called DisableService and allow root (obviously)

Search for the service "Fused Location" under System tab and disable the service

Reset Phone.

Turn on FakeGPS. make sure update interval is < 100, Accuracy is 1

This should fix the jumping around Make sure to turn everything back to normal if you need Google services / GPS again! otherwise nothing works

update: if it doesnt work, have you tried installing Xposed Modules and download "Mock Mock locations / Hide mock locations" and tell me if it works. LG and Samsung phones seem to have issues as another service apart from the ones I named is causing location sniffing

Just an update, this method doesn't seem to work if you are using the "teamrocket" app to spoof pokemon go

I'm using Lenovo a7000 Marshmellow and can't find scanning tab in location service, so I just put location service mode on device only. is it Ok ?

I've just tested set gps to central park, but I can't hit pokestop and cacth mons, (seem like I'm getting softbanned)

Are you able to use the fake location without it sensing your real location? It sounds like you got it to work but you jumped too far from your original location which triggered the server to ban you. The game will recognize if you move too fast.

Yes I am, but sometimes it switching to real location and then I'm getting banned

That's weird. Im using a oneplus 3 phone and when I turned off fused location it blacked out my real location on all my apps which let me use the fake GPS without interruption. Then I can just re-enable it to use my real location.
 
Hi guys. I'm on galaxy note 4. I disable fused locations reset phone and enabled mock location using the same app. I also have the fake gps installed to system app.
But I have the fake gps location set and it saying it can't detect my location at all ?

I think POGO detect mock location settings
So if you want use fake location apps install it as sistem apps through lucky patcher

Yeah that's my problem. I already have fake gps install to system apps but when I disable fused location my actual phone act detect any location even when I have fake gps activated ?
EDIT and I reset my phone

Fake GPS also requires that expert mode be turned on (this requires the paid version of the app) in order to work properly.
 
hello

i managed to get pokemon go with fake location working the following way:

galaxy s5 rooted, set fake gps pro as system app via lucky patcher ( doesn't matter which fake gps app you use, lockito works too ), xposed installer with hide mock location and also mock mock location.

so i enabled mock locations via developer options -> opened xposed -> enabled one of the 2 mock location hiders ( hide mock or mock mock ) it doesnt matter which, but only have 1 active. -> restart s5 -> open fake gps pro and set expert mode ( other setting doesnt matter it works all ) -> set your fake location via fake gps pro and...
tadaaa, its working, pokemon go doesn't detect your enabled mock location in developer options due to the active xposed module (hide mock OR mock mock locations).

but thats it? would be too easy.
its only working smoothly for a limited period of time. for me its 5-10 mins, sometimes 30 mins and sometimes only 1 min.
then the location starts to jump between fake and your actual location.
why? my mock location setting under developer options gets resetted back to disabled.
it automatically unchecks this options for any reason i havent figured yet.
my guess is that the pokemon go app disables it via any of its implemented security services.

you can get your fake location without jumping back through restarting your smartphone and enable mock locations in developer options again, also you can try different settings with your fake gps apps and these 2 different xposed modules.

my question to you guys:
is there any possibility to leave mock locations enabled in dev options? like forcing it to stay active forever / or prevent other apps from unchecking it?

One way I found to prevent the jumping around:
1. Download DisableService from The Play Store.
2. Install it and search for Fused Locations.
3. Untick this box (grant/allow root access) and reboot your phone.

After this you can easily set you GPS coords without it jumping you around from your fake and current location. To give fair warning: you will need to re-enable the Fused Locations service and reboot again if you wish to use your GPS for anything other than spoofing in POGO.
 
nah,i already disabled all the location services + even the fusedproviderservice, forgot to mention:rolleyes:
thanks tho:p
for me its all about the mock location in dev options that automatically sets itself inactive after some minutes.

the unchecked mock location from developer options is the only thing that causes jumping locations.
because this system native service, if enabled, simply doesnt allow jumps.

ofc there are other reason for jumping but thats only the case if people dont use xposed:p

if anyone knows a hardcorenerd that knows how to force mock locations being enabled forever, please let me know;)

edit: or maybe because i disabled all googleservices with the name location and fused, i now bugged my mock location service -_-
ill figure it out
