Then you need to report it as inaccessible (http://support.google.com/ingress > contact us > Report issue with portal > Portal(s) in an inaccessible location), not cheat to get it. Are the resonators too far away? Tough luck, then you need to get higher level XMPs. It means it’s a valuable portal, because it’s hard to capture.

The Question is if it is a good idea to filter these players. Google wants accurate GPS data, that’s why Ingress was created. If google let’s the Cheaters play with these relatively easy ways to cheat, they can filter out the cheaters data and get clean data as the result. If they try to lock out the cheaters the cheats will start to become more sophisticated until there is no easy way left to distinguish the cheated loacations from the real one’s. (I’m sure everything that an App can access can be faked with root access) But it’ll be still made up data which can then not be filtered out easily anymore!

i acutally wanted to spoof my location for 15 meters because its impossible to get a certain portal unless you work in that facility where its prohibited to the public. otherwise i dont see a need for it.

I just tried tested it out, and I get the message in Ingress that the scanner is disabled because location is inaccurate. Every few minutes it will work okay for just three seconds or so, then it goes back to being disabled. I tried disabling wifi/mobile network location detection, disabling location reporting in other apps, like Maps, etc. Nothing fixed the problem. I tried tethering my tablet to my phone and doing all of the above on both devices, still no go. I think Google patched it up.

Dang I really wanted to use this because I’m on a Nexus 7 and have no network access. I have the game but can’t play. Really sucks.

Doesn’t that kinda defeat the purpose of the game?

To capture some portals you need to spoof your location. For example, one in my city is located in teh dead center of a USPS shipping center, where no GPS (or even wifi) location can reach. (close enough)
