I recently upgraded my AT&T S6 to Marshmallow, and I noticed the following:
1) I go to "Settings->Personal->Privacy & Safety->Location->Locating method" and I I set it to "Wi-Fi and mobile networks", then turn on Location.
2) In the notification shade, I tap the location quick setting icon (looks like a drop pin).
3) When I check my Settings again, it switches the locating method to "GPS, Wi-Fi and mobile networks"
So, by tapping the location icon quick setting in the notification shade Marshmallow adds GPS to the locating method! I don't remember Lollipop changing the locating method like this does in MM.
What I'd like, is a way to quickly turn on/off GPS without having the locating method settting change. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Update: Actually, if I turn off and on the location setting it always reverts back to using "GPS, WiFI and Mobile Networks". I don't believe Lollipop did this.
Thanks.
