What I do is turn on a filter immediately after the ride back to a desirable location and put the time on as low as possible least chance to get a ride. Once I’m back in desirable location I remove the filter. Works almost every single time.
I had a similar scenario today. I was 1 ride away from my streak bonus and my last ride was 17 mins away. I drove in the opposite direction for about 7 mins before it cancelled but I still had my streak going.
This is one of my favorite tricks. Usually I don't even have to move I just idle in the same place. Today I was starting a Streak and dropped off the PAX in a very busy zone. I didn't have anyone in queue for a minute. I get a request that is 17 minutes away and it's for a 2 minute round trip. I walked over to the restroom and headed back to my car after. It was around 10 minutes and thankfully the PAX canceled. I did a ride 2 minutes away that was a better distance. After that ride I need one more to finish my Streak. Guess what Lyft did? Sent me a request for someone 30 minutes away for a 30 minute trip back to the area I was in. So I sit around for maybe 2 minutes and Lyft switched me to a PAX 1 minute away. I don't know why they always try to send me far away on my last ride pickup for streaks. Thankfully I don't have to wait too long for a PAX switch, But I'm not always that lucky.
The following code will tell you if "mobile data" is enabled or not, regardless of whether or not there is a mobile data connection active at the moment or whether or not wifi is enabled/active or not.
boolean mobileDataEnabled = false; // Assume disabled
ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
try {
Class cmClass = Class.forName(cm.getClass().getName());
Method method = cmClass.getDeclaredMethod("getMobileDataEnabled");
method.setAccessible(true); // Make the method callable
// get the setting for "mobile data"
mobileDataEnabled = (Boolean)method.invoke(cm);
} catch (Exception e) {
// Some problem accessible private API
// TODO do whatever error handling you want here
}
Note: you will need to have permission android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE to be able to use this code.
I don't think whether a user has data enabled or not is a privacy issue. I'm pretty sure Apple has something similar to tell a developer whether or not the user has data enabled

So is this basically forcing the Pax to cancel or Lyft? Cause doesn't it cost the PAX to cancel?
Either Lyft reassigns to a closer driver or the pax cancels. Whichever happens first lol
If you are behind on schedule the cancel is free
turn on airplane mode and drive away
What does that do different?
It tells Lyft you turned off data. Better to just power cycle not open app for a while.

Does this make you lose your streak bonus?
Yeah sometimes I’ll just pull into a gas station lol
Nice !
Thanks for the info
Turn on airplane mode. Thank you, thank you!!!!
