I noticed while indoors recently that my N7 was searching for GPS continuously for over an hour which I assume was draining my battery faster...
I assumed that it would timeout but it never stopped until I went outside.
I long-pressed on the notification tray item and selected App Info to see which app was the offending party and found that it was 'system UI' with a jelly bean icon...
Questions:
Is there any way to set a timeout or figure out why it is searching for GPS?
Are there any apps to control this annoying behavior?
If there isn't a remedy, how do I change the permission to force the system to ask for permission to access the GPS?
Thanks!

you could try turning off all location settings, "uncheck the use gps satellites" option.
it could be anything from latitude, maps, google now.....and more

So I went to go turn location services off and I noticed that the notification bar icon stays there and just changes. does Anyone know of a quick fix for this? Or if I'm even really turning location services off? I thought this was pretty stupid, if someone's going to always have location services off, they're not going to want an icon always.

That is a Verizon issue. You would need to post this question in the Verizon Galaxy Note 2 forums.
Mine just shows these options
Thank God I'm using intentional note 2.
But what exactly is e911?

Emergency 911. Allows them monitor your location in case you call....I believe.
I realised that if I disable the stock music app, it's widget is automatically disabled and I lose the quick window widget too. That would be fine, only double tap to off no longer works on the clock widget, only the weather one.
Now if I disable the clock widget too, the weather widget's double tap to off disappears as well.
Anyone else has that prob too?
Enabling the music widget ONLY(in settings doing this also enables the music app) using TiBu solves the problem but leaves a useless and ugly music widget behind :/

Oh i've also thought of a few solutions
1. Use exposed to change the lock screen widget to simply pause/play and next and previous buttons that work with all apps
2. Modify the apk to do the same thing
3. Find the source of the bug?

I never noticed it before but I can confirm my VS980 on CleanROM behaves as you describe. I never use the knock on feature...
Whenever I turn on my screen, there's a Location Found notification appearing on my lockscreen. Any clue how I can disable that?

Is the location switch in the drop done menu on /
if yes, then turn it off and the issue should stop.
If no, then you need to find which app is asking for a location fix. It could be weather app.

Definitely want to keep location settings on. Curious how I could tell what app is prompting the notification though.

what apps do you have that rely on location ?
try disabling one by one till the notification does not appear.
Do you have a partner as I use this to see where my wife is using the android built in app, and when I do this comes up on her phone, so maybe someone is checking up on you?

I see the gps get activated at random times. There's no way to pinpoint the offending app. Is there an app for Android similar to the one in ios where it shows it on the bottom of the notification bar? Any app that would pinpoint the app using the gps is fine.
I'm on a TMO S8 running 950U CRE2. I've noticed that I no longer get severe weather alerts. It happens in both 1Weather and WeatherBug. When I open the app the notification will appear but not until I open the app. Any ideas? Since it's happening in two different apps it's not app related. All other notifications seem to work.

Sounds like something is off with your location settings. Do those apps have permission to access your location?

I thought the same thing as initially I did not but set the location manually. I since have changed it to enable the app to use location info. But it didn't help. I'm wondering if it's a global location issue.

Figured it out. I had to include WeatherBug to the do not monitor list for power management.
