    Did all of these steps. Sometimes for a brief moment the fake location works. I can see a the Gyms and Pokemons in the area. But then I quickly get the error again. It sometimes warps me back to my location and then back to the fake location giving the error again.

    Ok guys, this is how I got it to work without any pop ups with android
    1st Make sure your android phone is rooted, using kingo root is the best way imo.

    2nd you want to get the fake gps with cell phone in back ground https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lexa.fakegps&hl=en.

    3rd edit the interval to 1000 and turn the random movement on with 5 meters movement.
    Do NOT have mock on. And make sure you used lucky patcher to make the app a system app by going to tools and then convert to system app.

    4th close the app and do not set your location until you have opened your pokemon go. What you want to do is put your location as your home address where you want to randomly walk so the game doesn’t detect you being to far away from your normal location.
    So key in your adress and hit start, it may ask you to turn mock on but don’t do it or it wont work, and then close the gps app and then open pokemon go back up. it should have you running around your location randomly and you shouldn’t be getting any pop up of failed to find location etc. I hope it helped. Let me know if you have problems.

      go to setting – about – software information – tap on build information around 7 times or more, almost done.
      tap back from the menu and you’ll see development setting, now just turn off mock location.
