same thing happening to mine... different phones but same problem, do you use Glo? |

Did you buy the phone new or used? If you bought it used it's likely the previous owner has activated an anti-theft feature on it that forcefully switches on GPS to detect the user's location in case the phone is stolen. |

It happens, shockingly, when you insert/are using a glo sim in your phone. It happened to me also when I put in my glo sim in my old phone which is running on jellybean OS. Wonder what the heck that is |

Do u have any antivirus or security feature installed? For example on my phone ibhave lookout installed out of the box. Whenever my battery gets to 5%, my GPS turns on automatically so it can register its location on case the phone dies, u know where to find it. I hate this feature though. Check it antivirus or any security features of ur phone. |

If you are using battery doctor or Du battery ...check your profile and turn off GPS. Or go to SETTINGS... LOCATION... Turn it off/Deactivate. |

iyke926:No I am not using any of those |
Re: My GPS Keeps Turning On Automatically After Turning It Off. by Nobody: 3:58am On Mar 24, 2016 |
iyke926: Doesn't work. I've contacted the glo customer care service many times now, they don't even know anything about it. I'm more concerned cos it drains my battery |

MrProducer: Look at your app menu you will see an app called Google settings just open it then you will see location menu just turn it off. If you are rooted you can completely disable location and GPS using titanium backup app to freeze geolocation. Apk |

As far as you're using Glo to browse, there is nothing u can do about it... Have flash a new stock rom cos of that issue yet still same.. If you use other network, nothing like that will happen.. |
Re: My GPS Keeps Turning On Automatically After Turning It Off. by udemzyudex(m): 7:28am On Mar 25, 2016 |
MrProducer: Then stop using Glo bis, cos you can't stop it.... Lol. Me don tire, all I do is off it whenever I see it is on, that's all. |
Re: My GPS Keeps Turning On Automatically After Turning It Off. by Nobody: 2:17am On Mar 26, 2016 |
udemzyudex:Once your 3G is on, the gps will be on. It's not about glo bis |
Re: My GPS Keeps Turning On Automatically After Turning It Off. by Nobody: 2:18am On Mar 26, 2016 |
falseman: I'll try the titanium backup stuff. Thanks |
Re: My GPS Keeps Turning On Automatically After Turning It Off. by udemzyudex(m): 7:59am On Mar 26, 2016 |
MrProducer: Are u not using Glo bis on Android? When in 2g,nothing like that will happen except on 3g... It's Glo bis Bro, remove that Glo sim and try any other network, u will see that ur GPS won't on... Beause of this issue I flash my stock rom twice....... I know what I'm talking about, even my friends using Glo bis are also experiencing same thing.. Believe it or not. |
Re: My GPS Keeps Turning On Automatically After Turning It Off. by bennito: 8:31am On Mar 26, 2016 |
udemzyudex:It's not about Glo Bis but Glo Data services. Ain't using Bis, but normal sub, once on 3g, and connected, it will activate gps. 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: My GPS Keeps Turning On Automatically After Turning It Off. by Nobody: 1:15pm On Mar 26, 2016 |
udemzyudex: Whether you're on glo bis or not. Once your network is in 3G, the gps will turn on. Even if you're on edge, try make calls, and watch your gps turn on. The problem is from glo. |
Re: My GPS Keeps Turning On Automatically After Turning It Off. by udemzyudex(m): 3:37pm On Mar 26, 2016 |
MrProducer: We are saying the same thing naa... |
Re: My GPS Keeps Turning On Automatically After Turning It Off. by stinville(m): 9:28pm On Mar 26, 2016 |
So no solution? |

Found a temporary solution to this... If u ve mtk engineering, click on MTK settings, swipe to others, click on Swla. Click on assert modem.. It will say assert modem successful or so. Ur network will go off and on by itself, that's all. turn off ur location if its on, it will remain off. This is just temporary, u will ve to repeat dsame thing if u switch off/on ur fone. 1 Like 1 Share |
