Every time I turn on the Nokia 6, it's taking me to location settings. Anyone know how to stop it?

Hi,
My Desire HD's location and timezone keep randomly changing from UK to Nanping, China. This is extremely annoying as if I don't spot it before going to bed there's a chance my alarm clock won't go off at the intended time. (sometimes it does switch back automatically, though usually I need to make a call for it to remember what country it is in)
I've not been able to notice a pattern that triggers the switch so far (e.g. always switching location after launching a certain app). Is anyone else having this problem?
For the time being I've set my clock to no longer detect the timezone automatically, but, as I travel quite a bit with work, auto timezone detection is a pretty useful feature so I would like to try and find a way to resolve the problem properly.
Any thoughts and tips welcomed,

I found that whenever my signal dropped out and my phone was in standby it would prompt me for my time zone again when i unlocked it......quite annoying since my reception at work is always in and out.
Hi, maps seems to be keeping my phone awake when I lock it. I've searched this forum and I've disabled almost all the settings regarding GPS, location etc, as it seems this is what people are recommending. The only ones that I have kept enabled are 'Access my location', 'GPS Satellites' and 'Wifi & mobile network location'.
Better battery starts shows that 'NetworkLocationPassiveCollector' is giving partial wakelock.
Is there any way to stop this without turning GPS off?
Thank you
Anyone help? I've completely disabled location access, gps etc for now to see if it helps.
Mine was doing this a lot recently. I force closed the app, killed cache/data, then relaunched it and went into settings and toggled all of the stupid "track my location in the background" settings (on again, then back off). Haven't had a problem with it since.
It was sneaky about it, too. I would wake up my screen and see the GPS icon in the status bar and it would disappear right away. 20 minutes later I would wake up my phone and it would do the same thing.
Happens to me a lot also. I noticed facebook app will ping my gps occasionally unless I actually close the app out. I just turn location off unless I need it.
I like reporting my location history, so I can see where I have been. However, location history in my maps has been empty for several days. I noticed that "location reporting" (Google maps -> Settings -> Location settings -> Report from this device) turned itself off. I turned it on, but the next day it was off again.
This is not a new problem, and has been around for a while, as you can see here. I also have a tablet (Transformer Prime), where reporting is switched off. I used to have it "on" on both devices, but when I left the tablet home and went somewhere with my phone, location history was jumping between home and my actual location. I wonder if this new problem is somehow cause by two devices conflicting.
This happens to me about once a month but I haven't nailed down why. It does seem to load your settings from a server when you open the location settings page though and I wonder if you exit out of this before it's done it can somehow screw the settings up. It's a long shot I know. I used to have the same issue with my Nexus 7 confusing the hell out of it so I leave location settings off on that device and never, ever go near the settings.
It's annoying because I like to have location settings left on so I get the Google Now Activity card at the start of each month. If you don't report your location for a while (not sure exactly how many days) then this card won't appear.
I have turned off location tracking on my S8 but every now and then I notice the location pin icon shows up in the notification bar, but when i pull it down location is greyed out as it should be. Any ideas what is actually going on here?

It may be because of an app trying to get location. check which app it has location enabled.
Ok I have been keeping an eye on this, what seems to be happening every time I connect to a new wifi network my location is turned on momentarily, but I don't know which app is doing it or how to find it. As far as I am aware I have turned off location tracking on every app i know is trying to use it.
The only time I want location on is when I need to use my GPS, I have no other use for this function.
I'm not certain it happens only with restart but I have two apps that use accessibility services. Last pass and an app called text aide.
I've noticed that when I restart my device these are switched back to off. So Everytime I have to go back to accessibility options and turn them both back on.
Is this an issue with the op5 software? Or is this a safety feature of 7.1.1?
Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks
Update
Nevermind. Accessibility services get turned off even without a reboot
My phone was on the whole time and after maybe 4 hours I noticed the accessibility services were turned off again.
What's going on?
