so i was taking a picture on my camera and i noticed one thing, it has stopped asking me for "permission" to locate me. heck even Google Maps would ask me permission before but now it doesn't. I went to options to check and my Location Services are "on" and found no other option.

does anyone know if this is normal? does it default to always allow if you hit allow so many times? or is there some option i have no idea about. thanks :)
 
It's normal. It just remembers what you said last time so you don't have to keep granting it permission. If you want to reset it, just turn off Location Services.
 
The Apps for location when the Location Services are off, or it is their first time being run since a restore. The only drawback is that they don't turn off Location Services when you exit, so you drain your battery with the Location Services on, not even realizing it.
