Location services for nook hd+

[RALIR]

Hi Everyone,

I was trying to test out a WiFi tethering application (Open Garden). Open garden on Nook HD+ said that it needs the location services. I had turned off WiFi because I was trying to use Bluetooth tethering. Since HD+ does not have GPS, I could not do it. But even if I were to turn the WiFi on, how do I enable location services?

Also has anybody tried WiFi tethering of Nook HD+ to a cell phone for internet connection?

Thank you for any help.

Best Regards,
RaliR

You have to be rooted and open the settings database with SQLite Editor. And change the blank value in location allowed to network.

Hi Leapinlar,

Thank you for your quick note. I did go into the settings database and made a couple of changes though nothing stood out very clearly. Can I impose on you to give me very specific instructions if you could. Obviously what I tried did not solve my problem.

Thank you again for being patient and helpful to newbies.

Open the settings database in settings storage. Click on the secure table. Look for location providers allowed. In the value, it was originally blank. Type in network. Then install Google maps. You can get it on someone0's gapps thread. Then go to settings, device info, developers options and toggle the mock locations checkbox until the allow Google location dialog box pops up. Say ok. You are done.

Ok, this seems to work for me. After following these directions above, I downloaded two apps, GPS Bluetooth to my nook and Bluetooth GPS output to my phone (galaxy nexus). Pair the devices, follow directions for each including set mock location provider in the tablet app, and voila, I have a GPS enabled Google maps on my tablet!

I also tether with Wi-Fi to get data. Now if I could just get the compass to connect...

Ps, need to wake lock my phone on GPS, uses a lot of power, with GPS, BT, 4g, and Wi-Fi all running.

I never get any pop up dialog box when I enable mock locations. I've updated my settings to network and tried uninstalling/reinstalling Maps before updating the mock locations but nothing happens when I turn it on and Maps isn't finding me. Any ideas?

And you have gapps installed?

Me either, but it works for me anyway...enabled inside MAPS.

I do. I'm rooted, running Google Play, Gmail, YouTube and Movies & TV. Maps installs fine and will function to look up a location or map directions but when I tap the icon to find my current location I get a small white box on the screen but I can't read it because it must be in white font.
