[Q] Location services keep re-enabling - LG Optimus G Pro

As of yesterday, I have been experiencing an issue where the GPS on my phone will suddenly turn itself on. Where the problem started persisting was when I was without signal in a basement. I checked my phone and it kept showing the GPS icon on the notification bar. To make sure that i'm not going insane, I left my screen on with the screen opened on the location services, and the button would just automatically switch to the ON position.
Now, I have full signal, performed a soft reset, and still sometimes when I get a call or a text the GPS icon will appear. I know for a fact, that I have been turning it off and have watched it turn itself back on with no command. Any ideas?

[Q] Variety of strange screen issues occuring

Apologies if this has been addressed before, but I searched and couldn't find something exactly like this...
Randomly one of 3 screen issues seems to be occuring on a daily basis:
1) Auto-Rotate stops working. Cannot get screen to rotate without reset (Yes, I've made sure auto-rotate is on in settings)
2) Screen will not Auto-Off. Even if I change settings to 15 secs, screen will not turn itself off. I have to manually turn it off. And, if I receive a text or any kind of notification it will light up again and stay on indefinitely.
3) Screen will not turn back on when trying to wake up device. Hitting the home button and power button both have no effect. Although the LED is usually blinking, and it seems the phone is still on.
For all 3 of the above issues, manually pulling out the battery and reseting the phone that way seems to always work. But, this is an annoying process to have to go through on a daily basis.
Also, I've noticed that these 3 symptoms don't occur simultaneously. For example, yesterday it wouldn't auto-off, but rotation would still work.
Not running any custom ROMs either

Strange Problem

This started happening today. When I turn my screen off my signal status disappears and when I turn the screen on it comes back.
The signal bars stay but the 4G LTE icon disappears with screen off and reappears with screen turned on.
Baffling ?
How do you see anything with the screen turned off anyway?
I'm not understanding the problem here....
Because for a split second before the screen goes off and can see the 4G LTE icon disappear and when I turn the screen on it doesn't come back for 1 or 2 seconds. And I do not receive any messages or updates from apps while screen is off. It's like something is turning off my data when I turn the screen off.
Found out the problem it was a battery saving app that I didn't realize I had on my phone still. Thanks for the replies.
Mod can close this thread.

[Q] Screen randomly turns on

I seem to be having an issue with the screen turning on at random. I have Always-on screen set to ON and tilt-to-wake set to OFF, but the screen will turn on sometimes seemingly at random and multiple times in a row. I have done Factory Reset a couple of times and it does not help.
Is there anyone else with this occurance and is there a fix for it?

I have this issue too. I've tried several configurations and it keeps doing it.

Any apps that send a lot of notifications or any notifications that are automatically dismissed/very briefly show up? Can't think of anything else that would wake your watch.
No, not on mine.

I have the exact same issue. At first I thought it was tilt-to-wake having poor gesture recognition so I turned it off. However I noticed without touching the screen it would turn on and then turn off after the stand-by time. To verify that was the case I left it sitting on my desk all day and observed that it would in fact randomly turn on and off. I also noticed that when the issue occurs the battery life decreases rapidly.
Also this issue will continue to occur even in theater mode.
Have you find a solution yet? My smartwatch 3 does the screen turn on randomly and then also touch screen issue occurs, and it makes random touches, swipes going into settings and so on, without touching the screen. I'am on the latest wear version mwd49b.
For more info search on youtube for my video about this problem: Sony SmartWatch 3 screen problem.
I recently began having the same problem. The screen does not turn off after it randomly turns on - I have to manually press the button to turn it off. Needless to say, this tend to run down the battery. I did a factory reset this morning, but the problem persists.
EDITING POST JULY 20:
After factory reset, I actually had the watch doubly connected to the phone, so I have corrected that now. However the problem with the random turn-ons began occurring well before the factory reset. I'm not sure what triggers it, or what stops it, but when it begins to happen, it drains the battery very quickly. The problem only began recently (within the past few weeks), so I'm not sure what changed to bring this on.
A bug in Android Alarm Clock keep the watch active after alarm ring. Just corrected yesterday by an update on Google Alarm/Clock app.

Wifi turns off when in sleep mode

I need help from you guys, I have a D855 and it was working fine until one day i when i turned the screen off and turned it back on a while after i didn't see the wifi icon on the status bar for a second, then it appeared, i knew that the wifi was turned off, i tried to turn the screen off and send myself some messages on messenger and viber but i didn't get them until i turned the screan on again, same goes for all notifications that need wifi.....sometimes it stays on for 5 min, sometimes longer, but it will eventually turn off randomly.
i have the wifi setting to keep it always on when screen is off (in advanced wifi settings) , i have tried every possible solution i found online but not luck, I've flashed kdz file and restored the phone, I've flashed other roms and other kernels but no luck...
i don't know how to solve this, if anybody can help i would really appreciate it.

NFC icon on Notification bar is blinking and I can't turn it off

I recently did a factory reset to my M8 because it was acting up. After the factory reset, the NFC icon on my notification bar came on. It's not on as a solid icon; it blinks, and I can't turn it off in settings because it's grayed out. I tried forcing it off through "apps" in settings and even though I did turn it off through there the N keeps on flashing. As a final resort I rooted my phone hoping to get rid of the blinking "N". I rooted and the blinking "N" did not go away. I installed viper one rom and the "N" did not go away. The N blinks for several hours to a day or two after I restart the phone or if I have been on airplane mode and turn back on my cellular plan. When the N blinks my battery goes down fast.
Has anyone had come across this issue before? IS there something I can do? Based on what I've done I feel that this is a phone issue, not a rom issue... maybe hardware?
Just to clarify, before the factory reset I had never used the NFC function and had never had the icon on my notification bar. I'm on Marshmallow and on a Canadian network.
Same problem here
My phone is doing the same thing, it started right after a FDR. Now battery drains fast, random crashes and overheating as well.
same here, i m on indian network.
