[Q] Google Maps Now Requires a New Setting? - Sprint HTC One (M7)

On my old device, the HTC Evo 3D, the setting "Location & Google Search" under the Location setting in the Settings menu did NOT need to be checked to use the GPS in Google Maps, Google Nav, etc. The case still remains the same even after my phone was disabled and I use it via WiFi.
On my new HTC One however, that setting NEEDS to be turned on, otherwise it doesn't work and says I need to enable it. Both of my phones have the same version of Google Maps.
Can anybody chime in? Thanks!

Just enable it?

[Q] how to i get screen to stay on for maps

Probably something simple i am missing. When i use Google maps and gps how do i stop the screen from timing out and turning off?
Is there a way to control this automatically when gps and maps are on?

umm
Not the best answer but here goes. I can't get it to stay on for google maps, but it's easy for google navigation.
Tasker on the market... Great program, its a paid app but well worth it. You can set up start up for any app, trigger-maps=screen stays on. And on exit it goes back to normal settings.... Great great app! Endless custom settings

(Q) trying to get rid of the Latitude app

Can't find it with root explorer. Any idea?
Edit: looks like its part of Maps, Is there a way to disable latitude even if I'm not signed in?

If you don't sign into Latitude than it won't report your position.

I don't sign into it, I just see it in running services for a few brief seconds every time I check running services.

Uninstall it via Titanium backup.
There is a way in the Latitude app where you can tell it to report your GPS position or you can manually input a position for it to report. I just set mine to show I'm in Key West, or the Bahamas or something interesting. It will let you just pick a spot on the map to report. You could even be in the middle of the Atlantic or something.
Looks like your correct - part of Google Maps - no way to get rid of it unless your a coder.

[Q] How can I figure out what application is accessing my GPS?

Hello everyone. I was wondering how can I find out what application is calling onto the GPS. I haven't installed anything new, and I've found my GPS icon flashing all day today and I have NO clue what it could be! So is there any way to figure out what application is calling the GPS?
Thank you very much.
Even if you haven't installed any third party app.. Weather, Google home page, social hub, latitude, places all these apps will keep updating the location. If you want to disable this better check off the the location service.

Might be a daft question, but is the Location Services switched on?

I had same problem, make sure google location services are on aswell as normal location services. That fixed it.

It's all on , still have problem.
I had the same problem. After I found out what to do i still didn't find it again after reading this thread.
But I finally found it again.
Sort Apps Alphabetically, find Google Settings. Goto location settings and allow Google apps to access your location.

I m 100% sure opening all, but still unavailable.
All I done was, turn google services on. Try turning gps on and off again. Or reinstall gmaps.

I've found that GPS location is working fine for me but network location is not returning anything.
It shows up in some apps like google skymap that try to get a coarse location instead of gps, none of them can get a fix.
So I tried a repair, no difference.
Then a factory reset and finally google location services work.
So chalk that down to yet another bug that may be fixed by resetting.

Should of just cleared data and cache in apps management. Google maps can be finnicky and this normally always sort it out.

It wasn't just google maps though, I tried a few different apps.
Things like flight radar and google skymap which use coarse locations.
SkEye was very handy as it asks to set a location and lists the gps location and the network derived location.
The gps would get a lock quickly outside but the network one would stay at waiting for location for ever.
Since the reset it is instantly populated.
Of course after you set a location it crashes but that's a SkEye issue.
The easiest thing to do was get into Google setting app that was preinstalled and enable the location thingy... Even tho I enabled it in phone settings, the switch in Google settings app was off, and I couldn't use maps, but as soon as I found this settings in app it worked straight away

I had the same problems.
I've found that clearing all the settings or factory resetting, then turning all the location based settings, and then immediately restarting the phone afterwards, leaves you with a box at startup asking whether you agree to google collecting anonymous data etc and clicking allow now means maps works fine.
Clearing cache and data for maps should also do the trick as long as you restart the phone as soon as you've turned on the options.
