Android :: Spoof Or Fake Location On Phone
Jul 29, 2010
I've been trying to get this to work for a few days without success. Basically, I'm writing a small test app to make the phone report it's position as somewhere else using addTestProvider and setTestProviderLocation etc. Basically it looks fine and appears to report its location as having changed, however Google Maps etc. seems to still be querying the real GPS provider. Does anyone have any ideas how to get around this?
This isn't an app that will actually be used for anything, it's just really to satisfy my own curiosity and gain an understanding.

So I have successfully gotten OpenPdroid patched on my CM10.1.3 rom, but it isn't behaving the way I would expect. I set the coordinates to 25N 71W for all apps with access to location information. I configured this across all apps requesting GPS as well as Network Location data. I then fired up my browser and navigated to google maps. The location shown was my actual physical location. What gives?
FTR, I'm willing to follow instructions and experiment to determine the root cause of the problem. I didn't want to give too many unnecessary details in my initial post. My strategy is "start general, get more specific as needed."

I cant seem to find any posts about this but it has driven me nuts since I upgraded to Android from my non-smart phone. I don't want to give my number out to every app I install. Yes I understand I can not install apps that require this permission, but is there a way to "Spoof" this permission. in other words if an app requests my phone identity, it would return a fake number instead of my real number?
I am running Cyanogen Jordon

I just used this getDeviceId() to retrieve the unique id of the phone, but in the emulator it gives 00000000 when I try to display it. I know it makes sense to do that but can I spoof a device id for testing purposes. I need to setup about 4 -5 android devices in my emulator to check the functionality of the app that I have written, and the entire app revolves around the unique id of the mobile device. I just feel, maybe it should be there in the DDMS but I am not able to figure it out.

know if there is any possibility of coming up with a way to spoof the android version for individual apps which have annoying version number checks in them? (Cough MX Player Cough .
Some way to insure that it would get the answer "4.4" instead of "4.4.2" when it asked about it.

This is a HOW TO about how to spoof your MAC address. A MAC address is a combination of numbers and letters that are unique to your own wifi card. I am not responsible for how you use this, I am just putting it out here. Don't flood this thread with how it is illegal because there are legal uses for this (such as pen testing).
First, you need to download a free app called Android Terminal Emulator. It is free and works on the Incredible. You do not need root for this to work. To change back to your normal MAC Address, just follow these steps to change it back or restart your phone.
It makes this easier if you already know your real MAC Address which can be found at:
All Programs > Settings > Wireless & Networks > WiFi Settings > Menu button > Advanced
Keep this in mind
Then, open the Terminal Emulator previously installed. You need to run a few linux commands to get the change. You need to find the name of your card. To do this type this without the quotes (''):
'ip link show'
This will provide a list of a bunch of different interfaces. Find the one that has the same MAC address as the one found above. On the Incredible, it is the last one called eth0. I will use eth0 in the examples, but if it is different, then change eth0 to your own one in the following commands.
To change the MAC Address, type this without the quotes (''):
'ip link set eth0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX'
'ip link set eth0 broadcast XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX'
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is the new MAC Address you want where each X is a letter A-F or number.
Finally, to check if the MAC Address has changed, type this without the quotes (''):
'ip link show eth0'
It should now show the new MAC Address. I haven't checked if it sends this MAC address to the router, but I think it will. I will update once I check it.

I just had an issue with my Facebook account and bogus messages sent ostensibly from me to my "friends." The only thing that changed recently from my end was getting the Droid and activating the Facebook app on it. Probably coincidence, but . . . has anyone else had this issue?

Just got a notification on my Galaxy 10.1 tab: "Sign-in error for [URL]... - Touch to sign into your account".
Is it possible that this is malware spoofing the system? Any way for me to find out? I've run Avira and it says the tab's clean, and I also checked the running services, but I don't see anything out of the ordinary.
I'm wary because a few days ago I got a notification that my tablet had a virus *eyeroll* and when I tapped it it went to a 'download antivirus here' page which of course I didn't click on...

Is there any chance to fake a call on Android?
I want it to ring and behave like thereīs a real call (without the need of a second phone).
I searched the whole web. In the emulator I would telnet it and type "gsm call 12345", but I donīt know how to do it on a real device (rooted).

How do you know that an APK signature is not a fake?
What is to stop somebody unpacking an APK, inserting malicious code, repacking the APK, and signing it with a new key that simply copies all of the fields from the original publishers key (company name, locations, etc...)? Obviously it is not the same key, but all of the data the end user would see appears to be the same.
If the original key had to be signed by a trusted authority (as is the case with trusted ClickOnce applications for instance), you could have some certainty that this key was issued to the original company. Similarly, if publishers made their public keys available from a trusted outlet (e.g. google.com/android/keys) you could check that they were correct from the fingerprint.
It would appear that signing only gives you the illusion of security, which is actually worse than no security at all.

I do a lot of Android app testing. I use my regular phone, where I have my contacts and my regular gmail account. I never used a credit card on this account. I mostly use APK files to install the apps. I have 2 questions:
1. can an app display some permissions when installing, but have others hidden permissions ?
Example: instal APK file > says permissions "Network access" and that's it.
Can this app also read my data or make phone calls, even though those permissions were not displayed ?
What is I use an app to display ALL permissions ? Can it really display all or is there an way to still have hidden permissions ? I use Android 2.3.7 root and 4.1 no root.
2. Can an app make unauthorized hidden operations, like place phone calls or send texts or steal my gmail password ?
Like I said, I never used a credit card, so at least that's not a problem. But I have my SIM card - can an app place a value added call or SMS (I don't know the exact English term - expensive call), without me knowing about it ?
Or compromise my Gmail account ? I have an alternate email for recovery.

I purchased a Simdo D98T from Pandawill. While the phone isnt pretty and the touchscreen is not well calibrated, I was impressed with the antenna quality: best wifi and GPS I have seen in any phone.
The phone reports 1G of RAM, but the lowest I have seen free RAM has been around 639MB. Programs are closed as soon as you put them in foreground and Firefox even closed on me while working, while still reporting around 640MB of free RAM.
Can the manufacturer reportan incorrect amount of RAM and tweak the kernel to use only part of it?

I'm developing a mapping app using Eclipse 3.5.I'm setting the minimum update period with the LocationManager's requestLocationUpdates method, via a configuration activity. When I set the property I see in Logcat that the system process sets the value OK.When I actually send a new location from the DDMS emulator control and the location changes on the map view, I see that the system process then sets the minimum time to zero.Below is a capture of the system's log messages. You can see that I'm setting the period to 32 seconds, then 16, then, after I've sent a simulated location change the system sets it to zero.The map responds to location changes to location changes instantly even if they are sent only a couple of seconds apart.

In my application I have to fetch the current location. First it correctly fetches the location. But we are moving from the current location to some other location. It shows the previous address. It is not updating the location. My code is: locManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); locListener = new MyLocationListener();locManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager .GPS_PROVIDER ,0,0,locListener); location = locManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);if(location != null){latitude = location.getLatitude();longitude = location.getLongitude();} Please find the mistake and when i launch first time it is not working on second time itself it is working so check this thing also.

I have an application which uses the network as the location provider (rather than GPS eg.), however I can't seem to figure out how to send the emulator test coordinates. In DDMS I would usually send coordinates in the Emulator Control tab.Is there a place to simulate coordinates derived from the cell phone network provider?

I am trying to retrieve the GPS location of the phone. I believe I cannot create an object of the class which stores the location in a variable. So that once the class gets instantiated I use a get method and retrieve the content in the variable. So I am trying to do this....
locationListener = new MyLocationListener();
lm.requestLocationUpdates( LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,0,0,locationListener); if(!information.equals(null)){ Bundle bundle = new Bundle(); bundle.putString("hello", information); Intent intent = new Intent(LocationActivity.this, MainActivity.class); intent.putExtras(bundle); startActivity(intent); }
and in the locationlistener class
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) { if (loc != null) { double lat=loc.getLatitude(); double lon=loc.getLongitude(); information = " "+lat +lon; Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Location Changed:"+information, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } else information="bad luck"; }
The mainactivity then displays that...but its not happening...could some one please help me how to get the values of this.

The way we are retrieving locations from our Android phones is to 1st get a Coarse Location followed by a Fine Location. This is for the case where the user may be inside a building initially and unable to track satellites. After we get our coarse location we transition to a fine location to track satellites. This method has been working fine for several months. We recently upgraded to 1.5 and our mapping application, to my recollection continued to work.For the past couple of days we have not been able to get a coarse location and we are receiving a status message in the onStatusChange callback of.We have re- installed previous versions our code that used 1.1 and we are receiving the same status message of .TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE. Other than the obvious description of the constant, we can find no meaningful information.
