Whats wrong with the last google play services?, i use Cerberus and i have all the time the location service on with energy save mode, this way i can locate my phone all the time without the gps off,, if i turn on the gps the location mode switches to ACCURACY, if a switch off, it goes back to energy save, but now when i turn off the GPS, its turn off all the location services
Any ideas? i tried to reflash my rom (Omega v25, tested on v28 too) and it works, but when I restart the phone its becomes bugged again

Hi all
When I open an app in which I need GPS, e.g. maps I have a problem in that if the GPS doesn't find my location and I close the app and turn GPS off (using notification toggles) it doesn't actually stop GPS. The GPS stays on and uses up battery. The only way to turn it off again is to go back into the app, find a GPS signal, close the app and then turn GPS off. This is a problem as I have been using Tasker to turn GPS on when I open specific apps and turn it off again when I close the app. However when inside with no GPS signal the GPS never switches off.
Has anyone else noticed this or can offer a solution? I'm using Franco kernel r53 on stock ROM
Thanks in advance
Anyone?
Unfortunately this is a problem with the stock ROM. When it happens to me I need to get GPS lock or restart.

Hi guys,
I have a problem with the GPS that I don't think is unique to the GS4 only ... cause I had it on my S2LTE in the past, and my wife's Note 2 also has the same problem.
Basically, I can turn on GPS no problem, but after turning it on, it will not turn off even though the GPS icon is turned off from the notification bar, and the GPS sign also disappears from the main bar. Checking on the battery stat shows GPS remains all along.
This can only be fixed by a reset, but the next time I turn GPS on, once again I need to reset the phone to turn it off.
Anyone knows how to fix this? I already have location services turned off. This doesn't seem to be located to google services at all, instead it seems to be a Samsung thing that doesn't turn GPS off.
This only seems to happen after upgrade to 4.3 as well.
Thanks in advance!
Starting today, my S7 Edge has a problem when WiFi is turned off: every two or three seconds, the WiFi turns on for about a third of a second (as shown by the WiFi quick-settings icon). When this happens, the phone gets warm (even if otherwise idle) and the battery drains rapidly.
The problem disappears if I turn off the Location Accuracy setting that scans for WiFi networks even with WiFi off. But it shouldn't be scanning constantly even if that setting is turned on--it's using much more power than if I just leave WiFi turned on.
Turning off the WiFi Location Accuracy setting also fails because then, when I use a location-enabled app such as Google Maps, it pops up a message asking me to turn on Google Location services (which is already on, and the phone has a good GPS signal). If I tell it to go ahead and turn location services on, it then turns WiFi Location Accuracy back on and the constant scanning resumes.
So there's clearly a bug, but the problem is very recent and my phone (AT&T) has not received a recent update.
Has anyone else encountered this problem or does anyone know how to fix it? (Rebooting doesn't help.)

Same issue here, started yesterday. I'm on T-Mobile, and have had no new updates to the system.
I saw this was happening (on other threads) to other phones, not just Samsung phones.
Same here in France with SFR, it's very annoying ...
Hope we're getting a fix soon!

Here's a video of the issue I've been having, which I believe is the same as the one you're describing. My WiFi switch just constantly turns on and off, and I am unable to connect to my network. I have found a way to get it to connect to my network by first clicking the WiFi Direct button (when it's clickable and not flashing), and then when I go back, the list of available networks shows just like it normally does, and I am able to connect. Turning off WiFi again, would then reproduce the problem though. It started happening recently after the latest update for me. I'm non-rooted, completely stock for now.

Hi, I'm running a rooted stock Oreo (version 8.0.0) and I've just discovered that when I turn flight mode on, if I then turn wifi on, I get the pop-up message "In flight mode" and the wifi icon in Quick Settings stays a light blue shade but Wifi doesn't actually turn on.
I may be mistaken but I thought this was working last year and I haven't done any updates to the phone.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
Kind regards,
Mack.
Hi, I'm pretty sure you can use this:
SystemUI Tuner - Apps on Google Play
PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE INSTALLING
play.google.com
One of the settings allows you to tune Airplane Mode.
Just to update - I think there must have been some kind of data corruption... I did a factory reset and it all worked correctly again.
