GPS always on even though I've turned it off. - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so for Google maps to find my location I have to turn on the "allow google apps to use this phones location anytime the device is on" in Google maps settings.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now after I use maps, let it find my location and then turn off gps from notification menu the gps stays on no matter what I do.
I even went to apps ops (nova launcher) and seen that Google maps was still using my location and turned it off but the gps was still on.
What could be the problem?

EVERY setting in Maps is turned off. No latitude, now, or anything. I'm down to manually disabling GPS now. I'll check my phone randomly to see the time, look for missed messages, etc, and I can see the freaking GPS fix icon in the status bar for a second. How do I convince Maps not to keep my phone awake to get a GPS fix?
If this is a software reflash all the stock .img with fastboot. Search for it at another thread. Let me see if I can find it again. If that doesn't work disable the GPS in any way possible. That's what I would do. I clearly don't have this problem. Might've been a bug in maps when you got the phone.

WiFi keeps scanning and stays on during sleep dispite settings

I want to keep my WiFi of during sleep to save battery and I can't seem to make it turn off automatically like it's suppose to. I have set it out never be on during sleep and to not allow scanning while WiFi is off but it still seems to scan. I've also tried to disable WiFi calling(t-mobile). I know I can use 3rd party apps but I was hoping to use the existing options. Any idea as to what keeps waking it up?

Press on the battery chart showing in picture no. 2 and see which app is using your battery most. It may be one of your apps triggering the WiFi.

Google Settings Missing?

Hello, S7 Edge owner,
I cannot for the life of me find the "google settings" app. I have play services installed, but the google settings icon is nowhere to be found. I want to disable the prompt for google wanting to verify every single app, but the "google settings" is completely missing from the device.
Settings/Applications/scroll down to the bottom..

[Issue - Oreo] Google Maps keeps entering Picture in Picture mode

Hi, I can't understand why when I'm using maps navigator in full screen mode, randomly, it just shifts to Picture in Picture mode. I do not press home button.
Don't know if it a bug or if it happens to someone else. I think it is pretty annoying.

Something I can do (except totally disable pip)?
:good:
Go to settings- apps- (upper right) special access- pictures in picture. Find maps in the list and turn off allow. YouTube have a switch built into the app itself. GL

google maps problem

Hi
I have a problem with google maps, from some time, maps do not shows name of a POI (street names are ok), i looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Only solution is to clear data of google maps, but it does not work after restart of Head Unit.
Re-installation of google maps did not work, also Factory reset did not.
Have You seen such problem ?
I don't use Google maps as it is not well suited to offline use and my units have online access only when they're at my house. I prefer 'Magic Earth' which works well offline so if ypu don't get a resolution for your problem give M.E. a try, it's available on the play store.
