Does Your Android Phone GPS Come On By Itself? by nenergy(m): 11:41am On Aug 11, 2014
So I noticed yesterday that my phone's GPS keeps coming on automatically. So I did a Google search and found that its not an uncommon problem. Many replies said an app is responsible and installing or force stopping the app would solve the problem. Others said it an OS issue and formatting the phone is the solution. But one guy blamed a particular network (Verizon). So I removed switched my data from Etisalat to MTN and the wahala stopped.

Anyone experienced this?

I think you are right, it is from the gsm network.
Is that not an invasion of privacy?
