Location Cache (v. 0.6) Разработано remydemy |
ROOT REQUIRED
You probably heard that the iPhone caches the devices location.
The same happens on Android.
This app allows you to look at the data on your device in an easy way.
You can see directly on a map what positions have been cached.
If it doesn't find any informations you most likely turned of "Use wireless networks" under "Location & Security" settings.
Features
- view list
- view on map
- export gpx file
- delete cache (can not be undone)
- delete and block (use wireless for location keeps working but no data will be cached on the disk)
Premissions
- INTERNET needed for the map (no internet = no map)
- WRITE EXTERNAL MEDIA (SD) needed for GPX export to the SDCard
- Use the red buttons on your own risk!
- Source code is on github (website link below)
- The screenshots are blurred for privacy reasons!
- If you have Force Closes please report them directly via Mail with logcat output.
- Force closes on the map are due to broken Google Maps Libraries on your device. Update your ROM/Gapps!

[2011-11-12] Cole: Halfway works. The location cache deletion portion works, but blocking does not. Gingerbread rooted Verizon droid pro. |
|
[2011-10-29] bgarlock: Must have if your rooted I never realized how much location data is cached. Unbelievable. |
|
[2011-10-28] Alex: No ics Doesn't show any data for Android 4.0 ice cream sandwich, even though i got location services checked.. |
|
[2011-09-17] Greger: . Got severe connection problems after using this. |
|
[2011-09-14] dik: Re enable plz Should be able to re enable the cache if you want to. At the moment I have to uninstall and reboot. |
|
[2011-09-05] Martyn: Class |
|
[2011-08-31] Roger: Worked great on HTC EVO! |
|
[2011-08-05] Tom: Android Location Cache Viewer is nicer. |
|
[2011-07-17] scoob8000: Awesome! Love how it lets you clear the cache too! |
|
[2011-06-02] Rodney: Does not work on Nexus One. Android cache viewer displays cache location points. |
|
[2011-05-29] r: Works |
|
[2011-05-28] Vien: Found no data on my Galaxy S Vibrant, while "Android location cache viewer" worked pretty ok. |
|
[2011-05-24] BigFN'j: Nice |
|
[2011-05-12] John: Gives no data found error on HTC EVO. |
|
[2011-05-11] steven: If anyone doesnt think this app is important, congress is asking apple and google why they keep teack of peoples location. It was on Cnn today. |
|
[2011-05-11] Andrew: Worryingly good record easy stored on my phone shown on map |
|
[2011-05-07] Vito: Great if you have root This application works perfect, for those of you without root check out "Daily Breadcrumbs" as it does not require root. |
|
[2011-05-07] Peter: Show a little bit more WiFi details and you've got a wardriver :) |
|
[2011-05-06] justin: Perfect on Inspire cm7, does what it says. |
|
[2011-05-01] Noam: Does what it says ... HTC desire CM 7.0.2 |
|
[2011-04-29] Scott: Good app. I have never allowed network location services personally so it is more for peace of mind. |
|
[2011-04-29] ITGuy11: Thanks! |
|
[2011-04-29] Seth: Everybody should download this. Yay for privacy |
|
[2011-04-28] Sarah: Fantastic! Works as promoted on G2 without any issues. |
|
[2011-04-27] Nick: Nice job Great App - works great on Nexus S and CM7. Its nice to see what data Google have been able to obtain, and block them from getting it! |
|
[2011-04-27] Tanel: Nice Just what we were all waiting :) Desire/CM7 |
|
[2011-04-27] Jaymoon: I wiped the cache, and locked it down. GPS performance is as fast as it always has been! Thanks for the app. Evo/CM7 |
|
[2011-04-26] sk8er_boi6000: Very useful, thank you |
|
[2011-04-26] Leo: Not working on Thunderbolt and no "use wireless networks" option under settings. |
|
[2011-04-26] Edu: Not working on SGS Files cache.wifi and cache.cell exist but the message "no data found" is shown. Samsung Galaxy S 2.2.3 (rooted). |
|
[2011-04-26] Kevin: gd to have timeline playback |
|
[2011-04-26] Lukas: Not working on my Desire Running stock Froyo, w root. Says "no data found" although i definitely do have wireless location enabled. |
|
[2011-04-26] Aaron: Best location one so far |
|
[2011-04-26] jupiter: Does what it says. Acer Liquid E. |
|
[2011-04-26] Palo M.: Cell data from last 2 days only, WiFi from less than 2 months - and not always correct :-) |
|
[2011-04-26] George Dimitropoulos: I'd give a five star were it to keep a local incremental backup of all antennae and were it to color according date and vector of motion. |
|
[2011-04-26] mmathieum: Well done. Google should provide this tools to help users understand how Google is tracking their device and how they can stop it if they want. |
|
[2011-04-26] Div: Does not work on SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE, says "no data found". Need to fix it. |
|
[2011-04-26] svyat: LOL. Fixing force close requires full internet access? |
|
[2011-04-26] alexcrowther: did the job nicely unlike only other application (at time of testing) |
|
[2011-04-26] Darren: Work's great on HTC Desire (CM7) . |
|
[2011-04-26] Matthew: Nicely done! (from the author of the "other" app) It looks like we both had the same idea over the same time period - good ideas are had by many people. I though the idea of blocking the file from ever being created was particularly clever - it didn't occur to me to go about it in that way (removing the file, sure). Keep up the great work. |
|
[2011-04-25] candyman7: I have a Cricket Zio, I open & check check my phone. No data stored !!! Cricket must be the only company that does not record |
|
[2011-04-25] Nick: Great App Just ran it and showed where i was.. great app. |
|
[2011-04-25] PaulQ: Does what it says it will do! Nice and creepy. See where you've been and what Google knows! (Droid Incredible) |
|
[2011-04-25] Poor: Thanks! |
|
[2011-04-25] Eddie: This app visualizes the information your smartphone is covertly collecting. Add the option to backup or export the info and it would be perfect. |
|
[2011-04-25] x: cool! |
|
[2011-04-25] Timothy: Force closes at the map on Moto Flipside. Had no data because location services has been off since I bought the phone.. and that's good! |
|
[2011-04-25] Cheuk Hin: Work flawlessly on my Milestone 2 |
|
[2011-04-25] RSA: Rooted EVO, but no files found? What's up with that! |
|
[2011-04-25] carl: This app is crazy good! Perfect |
|
[2011-04-25] the 4/25/2011 Works great. Thank you. |
|
[2011-04-25] Lando: Pretty cool lol. |
|
[2011-04-25] Kusoda: great app work as advertised :) minor nitpick: the map api is not the same as google maps... zooming is not as smooth as google maps app. |
|
[2011-04-25] Random bloke: Works well and is quite interesting. Zoom smoothness is a limitation of google maps, not this app |
|
[2011-04-25] Tim: Great app! Works perfectly on my rooted Motorola Atrix! The "empty caches" works too. |
|
[2011-04-25] Matt: works perfect i9000 great |
|
[2011-04-25] Ron Overdrive: A Must have for Android Users Cell towers are non-privacy issue because the accuracy is typically between 1k - 3kft, WiFi accuracy however seems almost as accurate as GPS getting within 50 - 100ft. On Wifi that puts it well within my home property border where I use WiFi 90% of the time which pretty much makes identity scrubbing by Google pointless. Clear & Bock is this App's best feature as it allows you to continue to use Cell & Wifi to achieve a faster GPS lock without caching data on you. |
|
[2011-04-25] Daniel: Fantastic! Thank you sir |
|
[2011-04-25] Shadow: Works perfect on Desire HD |
|
[2011-04-25] Mitch: Creepy. An app must have root privaleges to have access to this info right? |
|
[2011-04-24] tauk2mi: Works perfectly on legend. Good work |
|
[2011-04-24] c0up: Works as it says on my Galaxy.S! |
|
[2011-04-24] Random: Great app. Does what it says. |
|
[2011-04-24] Rafa: Wow I can't believe that all the places I have been are store in my cellphone and is actually pretty accurate. I'm kinda freak out |
|
[2011-04-24] Keller: Awesome! |
|
[2011-04-24] mind_challenge: I didn't have anything stored, because I use custom ROM, but very good app for those who don't |
|
[2011-04-24] igal: Does exactly what it says. |
|
[2011-04-24] Nick: Does exactly what it says on the tin. |
|
[2011-04-24] Rafyvitto: Getting map FC on my mytouch 4g running my desire s 2.3.3 port. |
|
[2011-04-24] Derek: review This is awesome. It showed my whole trip location this weekend, 800 Miles. |
|
[2011-04-24] Keith: privacy! works perfectly on my Samsung fascinate. allows you to opt in or out. |

|
[2011-04-23] PD: Must have... love it |
|
[2011-04-23] Andrew: Cool, good work... Although latitude's location history does more or less the same thing. |
|
[2011-04-23] jabber: Needs root and has spelling mistakes. I don't think so. Uninstalled. |
|
[2011-04-23] Laks: Good one! |
|
[2011-04-23] Colin: Interesting looking through the history... |
|
[2011-04-23] Cristian: Wow, I never knew my phone did that. Thanks for the app! |

|
[2011-04-23] Sean: Works great. Nexus S CM7. |
|
[2011-04-23] crackjas: no data found with nexus s . uninstalled crapware |
|
[2011-04-23] Irvysan: Does what I says it will do and very well |
|
[2011-04-23] Ben: Scary. Very scary. |
|
[2011-04-23] Jon Laslow: To those saying 'scary', your Android doesn't sync this data between phones/comps, and deletes it when you wipe user data. You also have to opt-in. |
|
[2011-04-23] Eoin: Does exactly what it's says on the tin. AAAA++++ would run again. |
|
[2011-04-23] Andrew: Excellent. Cheers for writing this app so fast. |
|
[2011-04-23] Michael: No data found on HTC Evo |
|
[2011-04-23] Nabworth: Works on DX You opt in to this, but its nice to be able to see what google sees. works flawlessly. havent messed with the delete and block cache options yet. i'd like to factory reset and then not opt in and see how much info is still being kept. |
|
[2011-04-23] Dave: Works fine at least I can see what data I'm passing back to google after consenting to the data been used |
|
[2011-04-23] N: Excellent App!!! 5/5 stars |
|
[2011-04-23] Bob: Awesome app. Although I'm a bit freaked out that my phone actually saves this info! |
|
[2011-04-23] spectraphysics: I really get around, don't I? So this shows that within the past two days, I've been in NYC, Boulder CO, and LA. Yes, I've been to those cities, but not with this phone (it's not even a month old) and not within the past 8 months or more. Shows wifi and cell points in those odd locations. Nice to see the tracking is so accurate. Meh. |
