new version of 7-11 fuel using Android studio - seems to stuck at searching for best price.

The Location seems to be stuck in Melbourne?

Anyone found a fix?
- aceaceace1234 on 02/02/2024 - 22:06
  
  Try a fuel station in your local state and let it find a station.
  Then try a different state and try searching again. It worked for me - basically try to bug it out

was continuously getting a01 error on iphone using IfakeLocation

Used a VPN for brisbane, and could lock ASAP!
Willo06 on 03/02/2024 - 16:43

The A01 error is a strange one. I got it the other day on my account that has nothing to do with spoofing. Changed fuel type and all good after.
Brick50 on 03/02/2024 - 18:27

Dumb question but using android emulator, do you need to download a VPN app onto the virtual phone or connect your PC to a VPN in the correct state?
- flagger on 03/02/2024 - 18:44
  
  Not in my experience.
kavali007 on 03/02/2024 - 21:59

It appears that A01 errors are occurring when attempting to lock in a location in a different state.

It seems that additional measures are being implemented, restricting location lock-ins to the same state.

For example, being in NSW allows you to lock in a location in NSW, but attempting to do so in Queensland results in an A01 error.
lemonccm on 04/02/2024 - 02:32

Google "my IP location". If the IP+GPS location match desire locking location, you should able to lock.
The IP location need to be the same state as the GPS location

something like:
https://whatismyipaddress.com/
https://www.iplocation.net/
https://nordvpn.com/what-is-my-ip/
- flagger on 04/02/2024 - 07:57
  
  It does look IP geolocation is being used now but it is not perfect. I get A01 errors if I try with my home connection (Leaptel) and setting GPS to my home city. If I switch to using a VPN in the my home city it works. Also works if I tether to my phone instead. Working now on Android Studio.

I also was not able to lock in a different state after the app update, but thanks to all the comments above, I was able to lock in again by installing Nord VPN on my iPhone and setting the server location to the same state as the fuel lock location BEFORE trying to lock in a price. Then you just follow the same process as normal with iFakeLocation.

For example, if you want to lock in a price at Pimpama Qld, just set the VPN on your iPhone to Brisbane, then use iFakeLocation to set location to Pimpama, then open 7 Eleven app and lock in.

Choppers back in service !!

From VIC and I used ipad (iOS15.8.1) and ifakeLocation (on Windows laptop) to lock fuel and no issues up until last week. Since then I was facing A01 error on all my accounts (I only have 2).

From comments above, I have tried all the combinations of VPN using Surfshark (ipad VPN to Brisbane, Laptop VPN to Brisbane, Mobile VPN to Brisbane while hotspotting and then with all combinations)…nothing worked. Then I stopped VPN, set the location to Bayswater VIC (as it the cheapest for U91) and then tried to lock….bingo it worked….I understand it is not the cheapest but being an ozbargainer I would take any savings.

Posting this, hoping that this intermittent way might work for someone looking to fillup today!
Bearkel on 04/02/2024 - 22:19

When using VPN to another state, am I suppose to install VPN app (Nord) in Andorid studio for it to work?

7-eleven app comes back with no internet error once VPN turned on

It's now state locked (or strangely, any state works if it detects you are overseas) based on IP geolocation.

I am able to lock on iOS 17.2 using https://github.com/davesc63/fuel-spoof (thanks whoever made this!) and router-level VPN to the correct AU state (on-device VPN breaks the local VPN tunnel required to spoof the location on iOS 17).
- Sheng on 05/02/2024 - 19:13
  
  What about hot spotting from VPN device?
  - khell on 05/02/2024 - 19:22
    
    For example, creating a hotspot on your Mac that goes through a VPN tunnel? Should work!
    - Agret on 06/02/2024 - 15:20
      
      Depends how the VPN is configured. If you connect to a VPN on Android then activate hotspot any devices that connect to your hotspot go directly rather than get routed through the VPN.
- jv on 05/02/2024 - 23:26

  Thanks!!! it did work for me. Use Kaspersky VPN was in france for my old iphone 7. Then open my paid app iMyFone Anyto on my windows laptop to go in desired location. Then start my Fuel Price Lock as Normal. Max 25c/L discount for fuel is not bad at all.
georgev on 06/02/2024 - 18:21

For iOS is there any free VPN allowing France ?
Sweetnsour on 06/02/2024 - 19:26

Also just noticed the the fuel lock now has max discount of 25c/litre. With the large divergence in prices, this max discount of 25c will likely be maxed out regularly

My rooted phone is giving me A01 errors too
Ctrl+F'd A01 on the archive view of this thread without realising I was looking at page 1 (comments from 2022) and all the suggestions were to use another account. So I tried that. Still didn't work.

Moved to page 4 once I realised they were old comments. Followed suggestions around using VPN (Surfshark) to the state of the lock I want it from. Still didn't work

Tried VPN'ing to the last state that I pumped in (VIC). No luck. Lol

Btw, I'm not in Australia. I'm fuel locking for my family. People that were saying "7-Eleven has to detect you're either in the correct state, or overseas" - yea, that overseas part didn't work for me.
csider on 06/02/2024 - 20:29

OK figured out how to get around the a01 error. At least for me using ifakelocation and iPhone.

Lock a location in the browser

Search for fuel price in app

Don't lock. Go back to the browser and press the "stop fake location" button.

Since you're still locked into the location, you can hit lock and it should work.

Good luck.

  Thanks. That worked.
- csider on 06/02/2024 - 20:58
  
  I suspect the same concept should work across all set ups
  - stuckster on 08/02/2024 - 18:53
    
    Don't think it's working on 3U Tools.
    It forces the phone to reboot in order to reset the true location
- illumination on 06/02/2024 - 21:20

    Given the success people are having, I suspect the key step is simply turning off your fake location once your app has searched for a site - but not locked in.
    
    This can be easily applied to all helicopter set ups.

  Searched for the price and displayed it on the 7-11 screen

    Update: to answer my own question, tried again without VPN, but it didn't work.

    Set location in iFakeLocation
    
    Find fuel price
    
    Turn off iFakeLocation
    
    Turn on VPN
    
    Lock in fuel price

It's great that people have found workarounds to be able to keep locking in, but with the maximum discount of 25 cents per litre, it's no longer the best option in many cases.

I had a fuel lock for 182.9 but my local 7 Eleven had a fuel price of 231.9, so the price only came down to 206.9 which is higher than some other petrol stations even without any discount.

Looks like the party is over sadly.

  same with me locked for 177.9 and nearby 7/11 was always high at 219.9 so paid 194.9.
  
  there was a local brand nearby me trading at 197.9 always cheaper than 7/11 .
  
  looks like not worth anymore as we have to find 7/11 cheaper nearby as well.
  
  7/11 doesn't even compete with nearby competitors anymore like Coles Express.

    not as huge a price gap, but a few weeks back when i had a lock of 1.739, my nearest 711 was displaying 2.029. no 25cpl cap then

  - hotelcc on 12/02/2024 - 23:45
    
    I'm having decent luck still with the 25c cap. Chopper has it at 173, closest independent at 184, and 7-eleven at 193. Chopper works beautifully in this case.
    
    You have to time it with the fuel cycle a bit more, no more filling up when it's at 212. But you'd be still getting the best price more days than not I would say
Mr x on 07/02/2024 - 11:17

Is there a way to see more than 3rd cheaper in your state (as in project zero three) that way you can drive to one of those if on your way and 25c less, not the best price but still helpful if one of those are below $2 and the ones you scan nearby are over.

The problem is still top 3 in my state are still very far but maybe top 5,6,7 might be not too far a drive
