Bug Description

The location detection setting in weather app is not consistent with the stat of the location indicator after restarting the app.

com.ubuntu.weather 3.3.244

Steps:
1. Make sure you have location detection activated, open the weather app
2. Disable the location detection in the cog-wheel setting page
3. Close the app
4. Open the app again, and observe the location indicator

Expected result:
* The location indicator should be in "activated" mode in step 1
* The location indicator should be in "de-activated" mode in step 2
* The location indicator should be in "de-activated" mode in step 4

Actual result:
* The location indicator is still in "activated" mode in step 4

Hi Po-Hsu Lin, thanks for taking the time to file this request. The intent of disabling the location detection in the app is for it to be an app only setting, rather then a system setting.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply. The problem is that when the location detection is disable in the app, when you kill the app and re-open it, the switch still remember that you have the detection disabled, but the indicator shows location detection service is activated.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I am able to confirm this issue, with the following steps.
1) Start the weather app
2) Notice the indicator-location shows it is using location services
3) Go to the settings and switch location off
4) Notice that the indicator-location now shows the app as *not* using location services
5) Restart the app
6) Notice that the indicator-location now shows the app as *using* location services

It should be investigated what is causing the indicator-location to think that the app is using location services (when it shouldn't) and whether this is a bug in the app or the indicator.
