Is anyone elses weather location on their clock just showing their contry rather than their city / location?
I can't get mine to show my location, however google webpage / maps can see i am in bristol
anyone got a fix for this?
I have a problem with the google location services wanting to know my every whereabout, what I am doing on the phone, and not to mention the drain on the battery. So I disabled the google location services on the phone... Problem is now google nav doesn't work even though GPS is turned on and any other nav prog I download works properly.
Is there a way to use google nav without enabling the google location crap?

I'm running Black Jelly's JB ROM and the other day I installed Google Wallet using the instructions from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769083. Everything worked fine, but now I have this weird battery drain from Google Services. It's keeping my phone awake for hours. In Better Battery Stats "NetworkLocationLocator" Google Services is the top one under Partial Wakelocks. I checked my location settings in Maps and everything is unchecked as it always has been, so I'm not sure what the issue is. I've attached screenshots of my battery and BBS. Has anyone seen this issue with Google Wallet or know what's causing it?
Thanks.

Just to be sure, under settings -> Location access, it's turned off?

Do you mean under Google Wallet settings? If so, there is no Location access option in Wallet's settings. Under main Settings -> Location Services I have Use Wireless Networks and Location and Google search checked. GPS is unchecked.

Try a reboot, if that doesnt help, uninstall gwallet and do not install it for a day or two just to test if that was the problem.:good:
Anyone know how to loosen up the access to location services per app or something?
I've had this issue when running Oreo on the S8 as well, so I think it's Oreo related. Really annoying that I'm having to turn on High Accuracy a lot more just to get location for several apps.
So basically, I'm getting no location in say, the Starbucks app, and it asks me to turn on location services (I'm already on Battery Saving, and allowing apps to access location data), and I have to do so to get any location to the app.
On my phone, when I tap the icon to turn on the GPS, there is a pop up messages that reads:
Turn on Location
Location may use sources like GPS, Wi-Fi mobile networks, and sensors...Is there a way to enable the GPS without having to share location data with Google? Is there a way to use GPS within a Google app, say Maps, without having to share location data with Google?
