That's frustrating!

The location services on your Samsung A35 turning on automatically could be due to various reasons. Let's explore some possible causes and solutions:

*Possible Causes*

1. *Apps requesting location access*: Some apps might be requesting location access in the background, triggering the location services to turn on.
2. *System settings or features*: Certain system settings or features, like Wi-Fi scanning or Bluetooth scanning, might be causing the location services to turn on.
3. *Google Play Services*: Google Play Services can sometimes trigger location services to turn on.

*Solutions*

1. *Check app permissions*: Review the permissions of your installed apps to see if any are requesting location access unnecessarily. Go to Settings > Apps > [App name] > Permissions.
2. *Disable location services for specific apps*: If you find an app that's requesting location access, you can disable location services for that app specifically. Go to Settings > Apps > [App name] > Permissions > Location.
3. *Turn off Wi-Fi scanning and Bluetooth scanning*: Disable these features to see if they're causing the issue. Go to Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi scanning (disable) and Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > Advanced > Bluetooth scanning (disable).
4. *Reset Google Play Services*: Try resetting Google Play Services to its default settings. Go to Settings > Apps > Google Play Services > Storage > Clear data and Clear cache.
5. *Check for system updates*: Ensure your device is running the latest software. Go to Settings > Software update > Download and install.
6. *Perform a factory reset*: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you may want to consider performing a factory reset. This will erase all data on your device, so be sure to back up your important files and data before doing so.

If you've tried all these steps and the issue persists, you may want to visit a Samsung authorized service center or contact Samsung support for further assistance.

If you want a temporary fix, try setting a simple routine -
1. Go to Modes and Routines > Routines > Create new routine
2. Click on the Add what will trigger this routine button and select Time Period. Set the time period to all day, every day.
3. Click on the Add what this routine will do button and select Location. Set it to off.
4. Click on Save. This will take you to the routine name and icon page.
5. Write a title and make an icon you like and click Done.

Now, your routine will be set and will always run to keep the location off.

But for a long-term, way better solution (and possibly help detect viruses and stuff), you need to know what is causing the location to automatically turn on. For this, you can install Nice Catch from the Galaxy Store, which is a Good Lock module. You don't have to install the APK anymore cuz it recently released for all Galaxy devices on the Galaxy Store. Then, open Nice Catch and enable all the toggles that are there. After that, check the list regularly and find out what is turning it on. If you need further help, you cab always ask...
