The weather widget wants up to date info the only way it can be accurate is the gps location

I'm not using the stock weather widget since I can't with Nova Launcher and I've noticed a few times that my wifi was turned on by itwelf.

Hi, i am using a note 3, and i face the same problem of gps switching on by itself.
I have performed factory resets several times, but to no avail.

anti virus/ spyware scanners could not help me either.
This stops only when i switch off my data plan connection.
I have disabled all widgets etc. removed all programs, but it doesnt help.

Turning location access off, only to find that it turns itself back on.

Appreciate any ideas. Regards

I solved this issue on my Samsung Galaxy S6 Active upgraded to 7.0 Nougat by disabling WiFi Calling. It has been 4 days, and location services hasn't turned itself on once. My battery life has amost doubled. It used to turn on every hour or so.



I didn't discover this myself. I read it on another forum. The best explaination I've heard is there is a bug in Samsung's WiFi calling system app that turns on location all the time, instead of just when you call 911.
