Parking garages have worked very well to block GPS and other signals in my experience.

You might try holding it inside your kitchen oven (oven not turned on of course). - dave On Aug 23, 9:07 pm, burton miller wrote: > I'm not sure about the type of failure, because it does not happen in > my code - it happens in the advertiser's code, and some of my users > are getting a dialog telling them that 'GPS is failing.'

[android-developers] Re: Simulate GPS Failure
I'm not sure about the type of failure, because it does not happen in my code - it happens in the advertiser's code, and some of my users are getting a dialog telling them that 'GPS is failing.' My code fails gracefully on location problems :) If I can repro it, then I can determine which advertiser it is, and contact them. That is a serious bug. I'll try the metal building trick. Maybe a parking garage. On Aug 23, 4:26 pm, Nathan wrote: > On Aug 23, 3:08 pm, burton miller wrote: > > > I have an app that uses ads for revenue.

If real GPS, try it inside a building with a metal roof, like a mall. You could also do a mock location provider.
