Error adding geofences in Android (status code 1000)

You get GEOFENCE_NOT_AVAILABLE (code ‘1000’) when user disagrees to “Use Google’ location services” in Settings->Location->Mode: enter image description here

To fix it:

  • go to Settings->Location->Mode
    enter image description here
  • set “Device only (Use GPS to determine your location)”
  • set any other option to get the popup (e.g. “High accuracy (Use GPS, Wi-Fi and mobile networks to determine location”)
  • dialog “”Use Google’ location services” is shown
  • choose “Agree”
