In Android Marshmallow, How to turn-off the mock locations in Developer option?



I have enabled mock locations in my mobile which runs on Android 6.0 . Now I want to turn it off badly as I could not use few location based apps. I could not find any option with "Turn-off mock location". It just shows "Select mock location app" for which it shows "none" when selected. Please help me with this issue.

That doesn't work anymore with the update to marshmallow. There is no option to turn it off. You can only select an app to which you would like to use for mock locations. You're going to have to undo your system update. That's the only solution I can think of.



in developer options, where you select an app to which you would like to use for mock locations, there is also an option for "Nothing". Maybe this will disable mock locations.



You can install adb (Android Debug Bridge) by following these instructions for the Windows operating system.



Once you have adb installed, and have confirmed your phone is connected and recognized by adb (as per the same instructions I linked), start a Windows command prompt (typing cmd at the Start Menu). At the command line, you will type adb shell.


cmd


adb shell



At the next prompt, type settings put secure mock_location 0. This will programmatically turn off mock locations on your connected Android phone.


settings put secure mock_location 0



Mock location setting might be unavailable until you get access to developer option and enable it. Try this tutorial to enable developer option first a nd then you can enable or disable mock location on your phone.





Please don't only post a link but add soome substance to your answer.

Go into settings - about phone. Find developer number and tap 7 times, this will allow developer mode.
Go back to settings and a new menu called developer options will be accessible. Within that turn off mock locations.





You can tell OP already has developer settings on from the mention of select mock location app, yet your instructions are merely to turn on developer settings which is useless for the problem OP has described. The actual issue where mock locations cannot be turned off started occuring with the latest Marshmallow update.

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12

How to determine optimal route across keyboard

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP How to determine optimal route across keyboard I'm trying to automate the typing process in a video game. Players are given an on-screen QWERTY keyboard layout that they can navigate with the control stick (up, down, left, right) in order to select a letter to type. I was wondering if there was a module for Python (or some other resource I could explore) that would help my program find a path across the keyboard as it types each letter in a given message. In other words, if the first letter typed was "A" and the next letter was "B", the module would know that the program should move 1 space down on the keyboard and 4 spaces to the right. Currently, I have the program resetting to the "G" key after each letter is typed (allowing me to use fixed-directions as the program parses each character in the desired message). As you can imagine, this is quite inefficient and defeats the purpose of automating the typing in the fir
