Ches and see if you have Call over WiFi on, it was my culprit. https://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-active/744171-location-services-turning-its-own-2.html#post6391927

Went thru all that, they only Services that kept coming was Google Play Store. However it looks like clovehitch2 Nailed it, I've turned off Wi-Fi calling and I've had no more location issues. It no longer keeps turning on the Location, it has stayed off. Just poor cell coverage call/service...

Interesting, I have it on as Coverage here and where I travel is iffy, and it helps make/get calls. Google Play and IMS Service show as the only users when I catch it on.

I'm with you! it sucks that Just as I pay this thing off it gets to be a pain in the a to use! What a pain the way they tell me how to use my stuff! It's my stuff and I'll use it my way.

Well, this damn phone has gotten much worse at this after the post Oreo Updates. IT seems to be semi related to location and wireless connections, but it's getting very very annoying! Wish there was a physical off switch for the GPS antenna!

I'm running Messages 5.0.11.18 and none of the suggestions work. So I'm assuming who ever the "moderator on the company’s forums confirmed that the feature would return in a future update. Make sure to visit Galaxy Apps and grab version 4.4.30.5 of Messages." was misinformed. As well as the...

My S7 Active continues to turn Location Services on at random, somewhat more frequently these days. It appears to be Google and the Play App Store looking to see where you are so as to do what? Spy on you and suggest apps based on where you are?

Well crap There goes my individual user Message Tones!

I bet yours a Verizion User? They SUCK Battery when no towers/cvoverage.

Mine has been gone for a while, sure wish it would get fixed.

Just remember any device with a "soft" power switch is never truly off. This alone drives me nuts that they issue Energy Star ratings that still use power when "off".

I've had issues with Texting a Image from one S7 to another and or S7 Actives. The text comes though,m but the images are "Canceled"

Well, that proves what I've experienced. Apple is looking better and better.

Well, I caught the Location Services back on again today, and the culprit seems to continue being Google Play Services. Thankfully none of the nagging messages are back, yet.
