Hello @dejon775, could you provide a logcat?

Always reproducible on both my Pixel 4a with Android 11 and Nokia 6.1 with Android 10

[mcastillof]

I'm not able to reproduce it with my phone, that has LineageOS 18.1 (Android 11) without Gapps. LineageOS doesn't provide a 'network' location (location by WIFI and cell towers).

The exception occurs within this line:

FakeTraveler/app/src/main/java/cl/coders/faketraveler/MainActivity.java

Line 259 in 4c05f6f

mockNetwork = new MockLocationProvider(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, context);

Which is creating a location provider called 'network'. The exception says: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Provider "network" already exists. And the documentation of LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER says:

/**
     * Name of the network location provider.
     * <p>This provider determines location based on
     * availability of cell tower and WiFi access points. Results are retrieved
     * by means of a network lookup.
     */
    public static final String NETWORK_PROVIDER = "network";

Maybe you can try disabling 'network' location (disabling WIFI scanning). I will try to borrow a real Android 10 or 11 phone to test it too.

[Massedil]

I think my problem is related to this issue.

The app works fine for me after a reboot : I can fake my position.

But after some time using the app, I encounter crashes.

After the first crash, I can't use the app anymore without rebooting the phone, for make it working again.

Device : Samsung Galaxy S5
OS : LineageOS 17.1 / Android 10 (without Gapps)

Maybe you can try disabling 'network' location (disabling WIFI scanning).

Except error, in this version, we only can enable or disable "location". Contrary to LineageOS 16 / Android 9 we cannot activate only "nework location" or "GPS only". It is both or none in LineageOS 17.1 / Android 10.

LineageOS doesn't provide a 'network' location (location by WIFI and cell towers).

LineageOS doesn't provide a 'network' location, but, in my case, I use UnifiedNlp (no GAPPS) to get a "network" location.

May be it can be a good track !

I have the same problem as @Massedil. App functions as expected when the device has been rebooted, but after a few minutes the app crashes every time I try to use it again, regardless of the two values used in the app settings. I also disabled all location settings to force GPS only (WiFi & BT scanning, and Google's location related services).

[dejon775]

what I found that works for me is in the settings. put 0 for infinity and 43200 or however many seconds are in a day. since doing this configuration the app has yet to crash on me. this is day 3 that the app has been up and running with zero issues. it might be worth a look for others.

[dejon775]

[Apsistec]

I had to go into the app set the permissions to allow GPS
