Turn off GPS? - Verizon HTC One (M8)

Is there a way to turn off GPS on this thing? I can't find it anywhere in settings

You can add it to your quick tiles and toggle it from there

Go to settings, location, click battery saving options , if it's on high accuracy that means your GPS is on.

Toggle 4g off?

Is there any way to disable 4g completely? Or toggle it on and off? I couldn't find anything on this and if there is a topic I apologize.
Under wireless settings. Select cdma then auto.

How to disable gps

I feel like such a noob question but how do you disable GPS in this tablet? Ive already checked off all options in locations but the notification 'area still shows searching for gps. I'm definitely not new to android but I can't figure this out

If you scroll through the toggles in the notification bar, the GPS toggle is at the far right. Either the right most toggle or the one next to it.
If your GPS is still showing that message after turning GPS off, try restarting the tablet.
Thank you for the advice. I had no idea that there were more options off the screen for toggles. I found it after swiping right and revealing the gps icon. Thanks again!

Gps toggle?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but where is the gps settings/toggle? For the life of me I can't find it. I just wanted to turn off the gps, to see if my battery life would get any better.

Settings->location->mode.
I choose battery saver unless I'm navigating.

go to your quick settings (notification center, icon to the right (where wifi, settings and battery are located) and there you see a location icon. pres it once to go to the location settings, long press for activate/deactivate. (it sure as hell switches location and therefore gps off, but if you are connected to wifi it gets the location from there)

no gps toggle in nexus 5 ((
Hello guys,
Wow, this is a bit of a pain.
In the past you could still have some location accessing when your gps was off, and one quick tap in notifications would toggle it. Now it seems you have to go to a menu. The notification toggle widgets Ive tried do not toggle the "Location Mode", which is what I would like... the way it used to turn GPS off was to change location mode from High Accuracy to Battery Saving.
Odd how on occasion features like this are changed for the worse... almost like some engineer thought it a good idea, but isnt someone whe wants to goggle gps quickly and easily, like when driving!!

If you are rooted you can use gravity box to add the old gps icon in the quick settings panel.

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
I am rooted, and I do have a notification widget which has the old icon, but it either does nothing, or takes me to the setting where I still have to choose which mode of location detecting i want to use...
What is gravity box, it seems to be a game

Solution found!
Hello guys,
Ok, so if you are rooted:
1/ Install Notification Toggle (and customise it to have the toggles you want, including GPS)
2/ install /system/app mover
3/ run system app mover and choose to convert Notification Toggle to a system app.
you reboot your phone and now you can toggle the gps between High Accuracy and Battery Saving... EXACTLY as it was in the past.
Whew.
Mark.

Gravity box is a module that works with the xposed framework.

On a rooted phone power toggles will give you a direct gps toggle without any faffing about, other than granting it root access.
If you are not rooted you can use the stock android "power control" widget. It changes the mode from high accuracy to battery saving with one click. I'm waiting for power toggles to update!

Turn GPS on/off?

Hello, is there a way to turn the gps on/off? I want to keep the location services turned on, but in the quick settings, it has otipon only turn on/off the location services, not only the gps. I have to go to the settings menu if I want to turn the gps off, but keep the location services on.
P.S.: i checked this quick setting on my Lenovo tablet, and it works the same way So it is maybe not an Alcatel related feature, but it is somewhere Lollipop.
Other Lollipo questikn, why they (google?) removed the silent mode? Why I have to set volume to zero, instead of turning off the ringtones?
Use battery saving setting in location services. Turns off GPS.
Yes I kow, it turns off the gps, but, it is notaccessible from the top of the screen quick settings. It disables or enables the whole !ication service. I tried some gps on/off apps, but they don't work.
