If a device reported locaiton moves a mile it might be bad network coverage or weak satelite reception. Moreover, there should be a threshold for distance of move. If nothing else there should be a feature to report a moved location or opt of a location for truely mobile devices such as 3g hotspots or laptops being used as ad hoc network devices. Let's be honest, this is a pretty poor assumtion.
#Android mac address reset update
Google's assumtion is apparently not simply that the update interval is long but rather that a lot a data is need to register, and/or reregister a location. so how would I go about figuring out an unused MAC address? Given that the first 3 octets of the address are used a prefix to identify the hardware manufacturer and there are 16.8 million possible prefixes it seems certain that the majority are unused. Of course your right that a 48 bit naming skeme is unlikely to produce duplication.
This type of responce just discourages people from replying to posts. Nothing you posted helps solve my problem. Every time you pick up the phone to have to check to be sure you are looking at the right time zone and weather.Ĭlick to expand.If you don't have anything constructive to say, please don't bother. It's driving me batty and upsetting my wife as well. I've heard tell of people that picked a new address only to have their phone locate them on the other side of the planet as they have mistakenly picked an address belonging to a router in russia or australia that google already had in the data base.Īny other ideas for what to do about this.
#Android mac address reset how to
Does anyone know of a way to notify Google that a device has moved? I though about cloning a new mac address to thwart the resolution of the location (as I've it's logged in the data base by mac address) but how to I know I'm using a unused (essentially blank) mac address. but it's lumped in with the mobile networks, which of course is how I do want to determin location (by the way, whoms boneheaded idea was it to lump those together). I would just turn off the wifi based location service.
even though I'm quite far from there now. In short, Google has logged my router as Gainesville Florida and my phone thinks that's were it is whenever it is connected to it. and somewhat invasive policy of logging wifi locations by mac address based on the gps of phones that encounter the signal, as well as google street car reports. My research indicates that this is probably a result of Google's clever. I recently moved a long distance (over 1200 miles) and set my home network back up only to find that as soon as my phone (HTC Desire) connects to it I will revert to my previous home location, both it terms of time and weather. but still, this is the best place I know to ask this type of quesiton. I'm sure this has been asked and asnwered.
