Stop mocking Location #17

Open AndiLeni opened 5 years ago

How to stop manipulating the location and use the real location instead?

mcastillof commented 5 years ago

Hello AndiLeni, based on the tests that I have done in my device, taping the stop button should stop fake locations. If this is not the case, remove Fake Traveler from 'mock location app' in 'Developer options' in Android's settings and reboot your phone.

Documentation inside the app needs to explain this. I will add this in the next version, but it may take a while, as I'm changing the GUI.

Maybe I should specify my question. Where is the stop button?

Just bear in mind that it can take a long time for your device to locate itself correctly after stopping.

I found that by setting the fake location to your actual location before stopping then it only takes seconds instead.

@AndiLeni The Apply button becomes Stop button (text changed) only if the refresh setting is greater than 1. If the refresh setting is 1, then the location is set only one time, so no Stop button is needed.

Where is the stop button?

After you press APPLY the button text changes to STOP

Well, Then I want to report a bug here. On my device (HTC one A9) the text does not change after I press apply.

mcastillof commented 5 years ago

just to be sure, did you increase the refresh time in the settings?

JonnyTech commented 5 years ago

Sorry for my delayed replies, am currently in a remote location.

Are you using the latest version? I experienced that bug only in version 1.3

Also make sure that in developer settings that the mock location app is set to Fake Traveler.

Thanks for your answers.
The setting for the number of times the location should be set is 1 by Default. Setting it to 0 solves the problem with the Button.
I believe this should be set to 0 by default to prevent this missunderstanding.
