Battery Usage Takes Big Hit

I've noticed several times during the day that when I go to use my phone after several hours of inactivity there has been significant battery usage, like a drop of 20 or 30 percentage points.

When I check "battery usage" in Settings it says the culprit is GPS. Problem is that unless I'm actually using Google Maps I always have Location Services turned off.

What app(s) can be using GPS without my permission or knowledge?

Thanks.

Google Phone App bug since update

I have a Google Pixel XL, and am currently running the Android Beta O version OPP2.170420.019. Since the recent update to the Phone app (version 10.1.161735957) approximately 2 weeks ago (7/17/17) any time I receive a phone call the call is not displayed on the screen, nor does the call wake my phone screen. The ringtone will play and/or phone will vibrate to indicate an incoming call. However to see the caller, and to answer the call I must unlock the phone (if it is currently locked), open the phone app, select the keypad as if I want to dial a number, then I will see the options that I normally would if I was already in a call.

Also, a missed call does not appear in my notifications bar, but does show in my phone history if I manually check it. AND I am not receiving any voicemails. As ...

Need Help Removing Air Watch From Company Phone On Note 4....

Hey, I have a note 4 from a company I no longer work for. It was in my drawer for almost a year. I played around with it and tried to wipe it but it wouldn't wipe because of Air Watch. I guess I made it worse when I disabled something I shouldn't which I think was the account for it. Now it stays stuck on the screen of Air Watch and do not know how to remove the company guarded info and just put the normal nougat or older os on there. Any help?

Case and Screen protector Yes or No

I've had my Pixel XL for over a week and still getting acquainted with it, coming from a Motorola Droid Turbo. I had to order the phone through Verizon as the stores in my area couldn't tell me when they would have it. The delivery date was going to be a month wait time, but it was shipped in 2 weeks. This gave me time to order extra cables and case. I got a screen protector from Verizon this past weekend. And I forget who told me on here to not get one from Verizon as it doesn't cover the screen from edge to edge. He was right, knew he would be but it's better than no protection at all. How many of you that have the Pixel put it in a case and or a screen protector. I've had some people tell me you spent that much on a phone why are you covering it up! That's why I've got a case for it because of the cost. I got a caseology case, not bulky, adds a little color to the basic black that I got.
