Bug Description

Despite the fact that I have never actually accepted the TOS for HERE, and that I have explicitly disabled location detection in both the indicator menu, and in System Settings, Location Detection (and very often, GPS too), will revert to being enabled, whenever I reboot my phone.

This happens on mako, krillin, and hammerhead; so I don't think it is device dependent, but an issue explicitly in the software.

1a - On both OS build #5 and #6 (Channel: ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/14.09), I manually disable "GPS" and "Location detection".
2a - Then choose either "Restart" or "Power off." Upon boot, both settings are shown as selected/enabled.

1b - On both OS build #5 and #6 (Channel: ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/14.09), I manually disable "GPS" and "Location detection".
2b - Then start "Weather" app, click "Scan for location" and despite above disabled options, my geolocation is correctly suggested (was this previously stored when Touch installed?).
3b - Note, however, if I visit maps.google.com with "GPS" and "Location detection" disabled OR recently enabled, I receive "Your location could not be determined" (possibly see bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/location-service/+bug/1368647).

***2a confirms "Location Detection (and very often, GPS too), will revert to being enabled, whenever I reboot my phone"
***Given 2b and 3b, I am not sure if I can confirm "Location detection is always on, despite indicator"
