The GPS won't go off. Have tried the reboot, hard reboot, the multi button thingies. No change. Keep flashing and driving my up the wall. Please help, somebody.

could be to do with Google now tracking you, have you tried changing location mode from gps only to high accuracy or power saving

I have. Still on. Have deleted apps including Google play. Now there's nothing tracking but still on.

When I wove the switch from on to off of just bounces back and stays on.
