I am finding the location setting is turning itself on randomly.

[AC Question]

I have had the s8 3 days and the location setting keeps turning on. I dont normally use location feature apart from Google maps so i turn it on and off manually. I have checked all apps to make sure they are not asking for location to be turned on.
Is this a known problem or is there a fix ??

Hey mate, my S8+ was doing the same thing, drove me nuts. The culprit was wifi calling. Why, I don't know, but after I disabled it, the random location activations stopped.

Turning off wifi calling fixed this on my Samsung Galaxy S6 Active recently upgraded to 7.0 Nougat. My battery life has almost doubled. Thank you!
