When I open Waze it needs my location turned on to accurately navigate, and that turns on that notification. If I tap on that notification, and tap on Waze in the list, and force stop Waze the notification goes away until the next time I use Waze. :good:
I searched for days for an answer and then figured it out on my own, so I wanted to share and see if this helps.

Hi, my problem is that every time i turn the screen off the gps goes on. If i lock the screen and turn it on after five seconds the gps icon is active on the status bar.
At first I thought it was some misbehaving app, but now I've frozen almost all apps using the permission ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, but the problem is still there.
The application using the gps appears to be google maps, is this behavior normal? I don't have latitude activated, autosync is off.
I keep gps on because I have seekdroid installed and on gingerbread apps can't self-enable gps
You don't per chance have Tasker installed or some other location based widget on your home screens do you?
If you do have a location widget working (Like Lattitude or Loopt) there is probably a setting to check to tell it not to automatically turn on location.
Is there a way to let apps like Google Maps turn on my GPS without my permission? I'm tired of dragging the notification bar, hitting the GPS icon, and clicking "accept".
Dialer app stopped displaying search results for nearby places. In settings this option is On of course. Did anyone have same problem? / What would be the fix for it?
Turn location on
my location services setting is on and set to high accuracy and the dialer search doesn't work for me either. it worked perfectly when i first got the phone.
Just to be clear you don't seach using the actual number dialer.
When you're in the phone app, swipe away the dialer by swiping down above the number dialer. So now that the dialer is hidden, you search by typing in the top bar. The bar should read Search Contacts & nearby places
Mine is showing locations in Australia... I am in midtown manhattan...
That's exactly what I am and was doing. Like I said, it was working perfectly fine when I first got the phone. All of a sudden, it only searches my phone contacts now despite the setting for nearby places being ON.
That feature doesn't work for me either, even with location settings activated.
Miraculously this problem disappeared over night, but now I have another one. When I'm done talking the screen which shows who I just talked too doesn't' go away, pressing back button doesn't help either, only home screen button does the thing. Did anyone experienced it?
Is there any way to disable these annoying notifications at the bottom of the screen about weak gps or saving parking location right after unlock the phone?
Sounds like your Google Maps program is giving you warning/notifications. I would do a deep dive into all the maps settings to see what can be turned off.

Thanks. Disabling google maps notifications has helped a bit but I still have weak gps notifications from time to time. I really don't like this new feature of android 10 and I don't see the possibility to disable these bottom notifications globally.
Still haven't figured that out after months of use... How to prevent the phone from switching to Do Not Disturb when Google Maps is navigating?
Thanks!
Hey, I found a subreddit regarding this same query and here is the solution:
In Google Maps, when in the navigation screen click the four square in the lower right corner. That will allow you to tap on a settings icon in the apps list. From there turn off Auto Start Driving Assistant.
