I was using the S4 mini ( Android 4.2.2) before I switched to S6 (Android 5.0.2).
On the old device the stock weather widget can detect my location without GPS on. I suppose it uses data from ISP via mobile radio or wifi.
However it is not the same for S6. The stock weather widget required "Location" to be turned on in order to detect my location. When I enabled "Location", the GPS was automatically turned on. I then set the "Locating method" to "Wifi and mobile networks". I thought I could disable GPS whilst still being able to detect my location. Sadly turning off GPS would also disable "Location" and the detection failed.
Is there a way for the S6 widget to act in a way as my old device?
