Strange Toast Message

[AkuTheTerrible]

getting a retardedly annoying toast message for no particular reason

"There was an error changing location please try again later"

I can not seem to find the thing that is causing this message to appear. tried taking away the " draw over other apps" permission from all apps, nothing, tried googling it, nothing, tried jacking around with GPS settings, nothing.

Hello are you a rooted user?

no, in fact, I'm just a general user, I only use it for hotspot, but I just want to know what may or more preferably what is causing this to happen.

Sorry about the long reply. It helps if you share specifications - phone & current os

These are the basic troubleshooting methods.

- Apply an update

- Activate airplane mode as it refreshes connections

- The most simple suggestion due to not having root access you can backtrack and uninstall recent apps.

- Clear system cache

More advanced:

- Download debugger assistant from the app store > grant neccessary privileges > trigger the toast message > track and find source from code.

- Second method I know of - find some app that shows all the apps permissions or 'manifest.xml' (manifest viewer) and search for 'toast' activity. Theres your culprit.

- Otherwise decompile suspected apps & search 'Toast.makeText'

I know that this is an old post, but I think that I might have the best solution.

There is an app, which is totally free, and ad-free, that is very small but works extremely well...

called Toast Source.

It is so easy to use, it basically does everything for you after you set it up.

Not only will it identify the app producing the toast message, it will put up an icon for you to tap that will take you directly to that app's settings- allowing you to nip it right in the bud.
