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've been fighting this for months as well. turned off location permission for every single app that app management allows and it still is happening. I did have to turn Gallery location permission back on so that I could view my photos, which irks me and shouldn't be required since I never will accept location tags on my photos. I'm so furious about this location issue that I'm considering disassembling my phone and physically removing the gps hardware. It wouldnt be quite as big of an issue if manufacturers would start incorporating larger batteries, but having to recharge several times a day when only sending a text or two and having everything optimised for max battery life is ridiculous. But then perhaps I wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't constantly trying to turn off everything that consumed battery unnecessarily. I seriously think I'm done with Google.
