This looks to use the dev options to fake it, which I believe bypasses the geolocation apps (as I assume the mock location is used for testing apps if they are in certain locations).

That being said, I have tried this for banking apps, and they aren't fooled by it, so I am guessing Android passes on that this is a "mock" location, not a real one.

Like you said, if you really want to fake it, probably a faraday cage/fake GPS would be necessary.
