[Q] Always the same LOCATION "Recent requests for location: Google Search"
Hi guys .
I need help because I have the galaxy s5 with fully configured 4.4.2 (I think because I 've reviewed from top to bottom all the options and safari google settings ) to not detect my location or share anything or update anything in the background.
For in the six months that I have the phone and I have not changed anything from a few days ago
It appears in the notification bar "search with GPS " and second stays and goes, if I strike up will
Location " Location Request Recent" puts " Google Search "
and clicking on it brings me to the google search process ...... google search arm
why this happens , where off? I combed all the options , I 've disabled even that .arm
and no way . it ends up appearing when he wants
Help PLEASE .
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for Galaxy S5.

hi im new to XDA and my hd2, however my weather location is saying "London" on my home page, I actually live in Warrington which is 200+ miles away , is this something ive done ??
just go into menu and manually add yours and any other location you want.easy......
I have done that, added both st helens and warrington, even gone as far as deleting all the other location's, yet i cant delete London , and it still shows on my "home page"
Do a little search for "disable location" on here, you'll see that it reports wrong current location for many people, who thus disable it.
Heres the thing that you have to do.
First add your location at the weather tab.
then go back to the main menu.
then click on the big clock and switch it to your location.
hope this helped.
Thanks Romeo, Worked a treat,

Hello,
I'm starting to hate my S7 Edge, and I'm really missing my Edge 6 Plus. Has anyone else had these problems and perhaps have any advice for resolving them? I've searched around and can't find any other reports of these problems.
First, if I'm traveling, *sometimes* I can't use the Google Navigation App if I'm in motion. For example, if I'm driving home, and I decide to get gas, if I say "OK Google, navigate to the Gas Station" It will of course find a close gas station, and allow me to choose which one. After I do so, the app will plot a course, but then will fail to acquire a satellite. The app will just sit there constantly saying "Acquiring Satellite" (or something to that effect, I can't remember the exact error) but it never does find the satellite. The only fix for this is to repeatedly turn off and on the Location services, until eventually it just works. Which is extremely infuriating not to mention dangerous while driving. I rememeber falling in love with my S6 Edge Plus because it had such an easy time navigating and this S7 Edge is so consistently terrible at locating my position.
Second, this is a problem I did not know I had until today: After mis-placing my phone, I went to the Google "Find my phone" web page on my computer, to force my cellphone to ring. I have used this service before with all my other phones and it never failed to force the device to ring. But this time, my S7 did not ring. Luckilly I was able to find my phone on my own. When I did locate it, i noticed that there was an icon in the notification tray saying "Ringing phone" and yet the phone was NOT RINGING! With the phone in hand, I tried to use the webpage to locate my phone by ringing it again. The same thing happened. It put a notification up that my phone was "ringing" in the phone's notification display, but made no actual noise.
I checked the settings - > Lock Screen and Security -> Find my Mobile, and it asks me for my Samsung Account Password.
Why my samsung account? Why not google? I don't understand.
So I signed in, and google location service is set to ON, as expected. Remote controls is also set to ON. There is a notification at the bottom that says to track and control my device, go to: findmymobile.samsung
So I go there, and I tell it to ring my phone, and what do you know? It rings my phone perfectly. Noise and everything.
How do I switch it over to google's service? I really don't like most of Samsung's software offerings, and would prefer to use native google apps out of convenience. I don't remember ever having this problem with any other galaxy device. Not even my tablet does this.
Can anyone help?
I haven't had any GPS problems with mine (U.S. Sprint version). What are your location settings? Make sure it's set to use GPS, and not just network or WiFi.
Find My Mobile and Android 's service are two different things FMM is Samsung's product. To make sure Google's is active, go to Device Administrators and make sure Android Device Manager is turned on. Then go to Apps, scroll to the bottom and tap on Google, then scroll down and tap on Security. Make sure 'Remotely locate this device' (and 'Allow remote lock and erase' if you want that) are turned on.

-Android Device Manager is turned on in the Device Administrators Section.
-I am not sure how to complete the second instructions. I do not see "Apps" as an option in the Settings panels. Can you advise where to find it?
Thank you!

Settings / Applications
Scroll to bottom, tap Google (on my Sprint S7 Edge, it's the very last item).
Scroll down until you see "Security" and tap there.
The first two toggles (on mine) are "Remotely locate this device" and "Allow remote unlock and erase."

Ah, I was able to find the settings under Google, however both are already checked. Are there any other settings I need to check?
{{Edit: I toggled the setting just to test it, and now it seems to be working. I don't know why this worked, because the setting was already properly configured. But it works now. *shrug* Thank you so very much for your help and patience!}}
Glad to help. I seen lots of things get fixed when you toggle a setting. Something in the settings file got corrupted, and toggling the settings on and off rewrote what should have already been there. At least that's my guess.
I just installed the latest software update for Android 6.0.1 the other day on my Samsung Galaxy Express Prime (SM-J320A) and since the download I have an annoying sidebar with no ability to turn it off. I also have no multi-window options which is what Google search results suggested I do. How do I turn this thing off???

You are definitely in the wrong thread, anyway check "developer options" to enable multi window, don't know about the sidebar, it's probably a rom option, so you will find it in settings..
I've got the same annoying bar on samsung sm-a8000. Need help to remove.

As declared in the my OP QUOTE, this is the S2 thread, please post in the Q&A thread of your phone, because you will get no answer here at all, because we don't have such thing in our phone
"All apps associated with this action have been turned off, blocked, or are not..."
I have just recently rooted my Galaxy S7 Edge on AT&T, 7.0 nougat. After rooting, I have had a problem where I cannot rearrange apps on the home screen. When I hold it in, it freezes for a second, then force closes Touchwiz, and then gives me an error: "All apps associated with this action have been turned off, blocked, or are not installed."
I have used package disabler, but after I got a tip that it could be that, I re enabled everything and uninstalled it. Still happens.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Gavin
Edit: It no longer gives me the "All apps..." message, yet still freezes when I try to move them. I can move them to my home screen in the app drawer.
Thread closed on OP's request.
