How (and why) to fake an Android location?

How (and why) to fake an Android location?

Did you know that you can fake your location via an Android phone? No, you don't have to be an expert, you don't even need root, one application, and several settings are enough.

First of all, why fake your location?

You certainly have your reasons, and some of them may be, for example, testing your own location-based applications. For example, you can't go to Canada to test how an app behaves there. Or let's say you can hack games that use location. Yes, Pokemon Go can be played this way, but the Pokemon Go app itself has protection, so I don't recommend using this method.

How to fake an Android location?

  1. Enable Developer options by going to Phone Setup > About > (Software info) > Build Number. Now quickly tap a few times until a message appears stating that developer options are enabled.
  2. Install the Floater application - link.
  3. Go to phone setup and find "Developer options" at the bottom (the item you enabled in step 1)
  4. Go in and find the "Mock location app" option a little below
  5. Tap it and select Floater from the list.
  6. Launch Floater as a classic app and select a location from the map that appears
  7. Tap the Play button in the lower-left corner
How to fake an Android location?
To stop a fake location, pause Floater by tapping the pause button in the lower-left corner. To turn it off, tap the x (x) key in the upper right corner.

When you tap outside the folder window, the window will disappear and a floating icon will appear. When you tap it, the folder returns.

You can also completely disable fake locations by going to Developer options again and selecting "Nothing" for the "Mock location app".

Mobile Browsers

By Administrator
The Internet on mobile devices is becoming more popular and has more and more users. As mobile internet expands, so do mobile browsers. Although the devices themselves already have built-in basic internet browsers, new browsers are constantly appearing. The reason is that each of the programs brings something new and useful. For example, Opera Mini is most popular on older phone models that use Java applications, while on Android platforms Chrome , Firefox ,  Dolphin , and xScope are more represented.

Sony Xperia Z5 Dual Sim review [video + images]

By Administrator
The Xperia Z5 is another great flagship model from the Z family of devices that Sony launched in September this year, about a month ago. The case design is great . The side edges are slightly curved to make the phone fit better in the hand, and the back of the device has a fine finish so there are no glare and fingerprints.
