Board 8 > Anyone else's phones do this? [Random GPS]

(+) Yeah! (+)

So my phone has been doing something odd the past few months. Very rarely it randomly picks up the location of someone else's phone...but where they live

So I'm at work and my phone is next to the computer. I check Pogo and apparently I'm on the other side of the city - exactly where the person sitting next to me lives. It happened again later with somebody else's home and just now the most severe one happened and put me in literally Cairo. I guess one of the other people at the coffee shop I'm at lives there.

I usually think it's pretty funny but this time it got me "softbanned" from Pogo which is not cool.

What....maybe the person next to you wirelessly hacked your phone to take control of it.

I mean I've had mine flip out but not that drastically. at work I'll be just sitting there and it runs me into the pond behind the building, or the parking lot or next building over, and I've had to confirm that I'm a passenger when I'm in the bathroom. sometimes it will put me on the wrong side of the street.

nothing like that though

Oh yeah that happens all the time. But this specific location switch that puts me to the home of nearby phones is something else.

Surely vice versa
Like my phone just hacks others routinely without my permission

Softban was lifted

Still pretty irritating that that can happen

I mean kinda cool but not when it screws up my catching
