Location icon constantly in status bar on Lollipop ?

Is it normal for the GPS status icon to always be present in the right side of the status bar on Lollipop (V5.02)?
Location is enabled and is set to high accuracy. No apps are running (or present in the recent apps list) that make constant use of the GPS (IE: Maps).
I'm curious if this is normal behavior on this device. I have 3 other devices to compare to that have the same apps and location settings :
- Galaxy S3 -- Icon is always present when location is enabled (Android 4.4)
- Nexus 5 -- Icon only appears when an app requests use of the GPS (Android 5.1.1)
- Nexus 9 -- Icon only appears when an app requests use of the GPS (Android 5.1.1)

It does not turn off automatically unless you are running an app to do so. My battery saver app lets you specify a list of apps that need gps...when I run the app it turns on gps...when the app exits it turns gps off. There is also a free version of it..search for "Greeenpower"...it does require root for an app to toggle gps under lollipop.

Thanks for the reply but I didn't think that applied to Android V4.x and UP.
You are supposed to be able to keep your location toggle set on ON all the time and Android is supposed to only enable it when an app requests it.. I can clearly see this behaviour on both my Nexus devices running lollipop.
Since this phone is as close to stock android as I've ever seen I'm wondering if anyone else is observing the same behaviour I am or if else might be keeping it forced on unknowingly.

Well no offense but yours must be magic then cause I own both a nexus 4 and 5 and the gps doesn't turn off unless you or an app turns it off...same with bluetooth and wifi for that matter.

I don't think he means it turns off in the settings. But the location active icon in the status bar only comes on when an app is actively using it. My nexus 4 does this. The idol the icon is always there.
IMO, its probably just a software GUI change that Alcatel did. Unless it is draining the battery more than usual.

Non taken .. LOL..
Bluetooth and Wifi, when on do constantly show up on my nexus devices..
Location icon however, on stock lollipop will only appear when the GPS actually is in use. IE: It will appear when I load up google maps and disappear when I turn it off (on stock 5.1.1 on nexus 5 and 9).
I thought this was a feature baked into lollipop which is why I was asking. But from I'm hearing it's not.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply.. much appreciated.
BTW:
Looks like it's default behavior on at least one other device:

Maybe there is a secret Chinese system app that is continually tracking you with location? Haha

I was concerned about this too, and looked into it, I can 100% confirm that it's a software change. On the stock Idol 3 ROM, the location icon in the task bar merely shows that location is on, NOT THAT GPS is active.
If you're skeptical, download a GPS monitor app (some available without root, better ones available with root). You can confirm for yourself that the GPS monitor pings each and every time you use a location-based app (map, weather, etc), but not otherwise, even though the location icon is on.

It's constantly on for my Idol 3, but not my Moto X with CM 12.1.

Very nice! Thanks for creating the module! Out of curiosity do you get the popup every time you install an app or module to select whether to install to internal, external or let the system decide?

Yes, I do. If I remember correctly, this started to happen around the time of the last update from Alcatel?

Thanks for the reply. Nice to know it's not just MY phone. On my 6045i it's been happening quite a while if not from the beginning but it's very annoying as I have not yet found a way to disable it. Even running "pm set-install-location" from a shell doesn't stop the popup. Normally the setting would be under settings, apps or settings, storage but doesn't appear to be.

I'd compare this to some manufacturers adding an NFC icon. They think the user wants to know (all the time) if a setting is on or off.

the icon appears for me always; even after I turn location OFF in the settings...

so is it a bug or is it on purpose?
i've noticed if you turn off the location and then back on, the icon doesn't show up until something does request location, but then after that the icon stays there forever
ps. i'm glad i found this thread i thought i was going crazy

Thanks for the module.

Possible Solution For Notifications

I think that the notifications that don't appear when screen off is caused by the restricted background data that lenovo has pre-checked. Just untick the option ​shown in the picture to allow background data for the application you want. Tell me if this will work for you

Also turn off battery optimization for this app.
Settings->power management->battery optimization and then choose all apps instead of not optimized, find the app you want and disable battery optimization

I have done this also :crying:. Upon re-opening Messenger while on data, it shows 'Waiting for Network' then 'Connected' and all the notifications come through. Ive also tried disabling Doze to no avail. Notifications work fine when on Wifi so not sure what the problem is, looks like a software design problem made by Lenovo. I might try Lineage in the future.

I find that when I return home and phone gets WiFi while pulling in drive I suddenly get Gmail notifications so seems mine is same.

The only way to fix notifications I've found that actually works is to disable doze via adb shell.
Sadly this fix needs to be reapplied every time you restart the phone making it a bandaid for a gunshot wound.
It feels like the OnePlus 3 all over again...

Install this app...
This app should work very well...

Stock Oreo - disable persistent background app notification?

Postponing it 2 hours at a time is better than nothing, but this is kind of a stupid one to be permanent. I *know* Macrodroid is running in the background... I told it to.
Anyone know a way to disable with without root? Thanks

Did you have any trouble getting the profile to be active? I followed all the steps and my tasker matched the step 12 screenshot, but upon reboot I get the message saying "no profile active".

Exactly my experience too, if you haven't used tasker before it's pretty unclear.

This is the most ****ing annoying thing I have see in awhile. Is there a way for me to roll back to 7.1.2 on Verizon or get rid of this notification for good?

For the sake of battery life and the future of Android , instead of wasting time disable the notification , please take time to request the app developer update their app.
Google making this move to warn user which app consume your battery in the background. And the bad written app must be the target to blame , not Google.

Ironic, though, to see that GMail shows this notification. Just wanted to point that out. Not doubting that they'll release an update to address this.

I have to start the task after reboot again, then everything works. Also never used tasker before.

Certain apps are meant to run full time such as openvpn. This notification is just dumb

I use pie controls so that notification is always there for me as well. I found a root and non root way of disabling it, here on xda. Root way didn't work for me and I'm too lazy to set up tasker. I'm already used to hitting the 2 hour sleep on it. Plus it never shows an actual icon in the status bar.

It's not ideal, but you can also change that notification to low priority to push it lower in the notification shade.

There's a new app for that and it works great! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iboalali.sysnotifsnooze

I have a two step Tasker task, borrowed from another user. One tap and it is snoozed for years not just two hours.

Location Icon in Status Bar Always Displayed

At some point the location icon that is sometimes displayed in right side of the status bar came on, on my device, and never goes away.
I'm used to this coming on when an app is using location services and then turning off when I'm done with it. Rebooting my device makes no difference, it's still there. When I look under location in my settings, they only app that it says has recently made a location request is Google Play Services. But this should not be causing the icon to always display.
Any thoughts about what's going on or how else to troubleshoot this?
Thanks.

Same. Can't figure it out at all. Hopefully someone will shed some light on this.

Is your location set to device only?

Yes.

Yeah, changing the settings from device only to high accuracy makes the icon go away. But why should the location icon always be on when the phone is set it device only mode?

It is related to Google, the cards. I had the same thing on my XL 1. You do need fine enabled as you found out, or turn off the cards.

By cards do you mean the recently used apps list? When I clear that list the icon still remains.
And how do you turn off the cards?

Oh, I got it.
Turns out disabling permissions for location for the Google App solves the problem.

Well, strangely the problem has come back. Disabling location permission for the Google app clearly solved the problem (because I turned it on and off several times to verify this). But now today the icon won't go away again, even with location disabled for the Google app. More weirdly, turning location off altogether on the phone does not make the icon go away. Also disabling the Google app does not help.
But just setting location to high accuracy (plus restarting) does still make it go away.

@cb474
Heh same problem here. But I'm on a Sony... Disabling location entirely does nothing. Not sure if it's a play services bug or Android. Battery drain is nominal, went through all the apps with location history. Anyone any clue?
Bump?

Yup. But even if I turn the location off, the icon remains I'm starting to think its a bug, the security update happened recently.

On Nexus / Pixel devices this icon should only appear when an application is requesting location information from your device.
With other brands of Android phones the location icon sometimes has a slightly different meaning in the sense that it might indicate that location services are simply on.
I would revisit your installed apps and look to see what you have running that might be requesting your location. You can start revoking the location access permission from the app(s) you suspect might be causing this to help you narrow down and find the culprit.

Yup,, I noticed just yesterday the last beta for Tapatalk requested for location to be turned on. Notification was always showing in status bar. Turned that setting off in Settings>Apps & Notifications>Tapatalk app and turned that permission off.
Fixed

When this happens to mine, I toggle location off and reboot the phone. It's always Google Play Services misbehaving, I think it's a third party app (Instagram) polling continuously.

Yeah, I do something similar. I don't have the problem if my phone is set to high accuracy, but if it's set to device only and I restart the phone then the location icon shows up right away and won't go away. I then have to set the phone to high accuracy, restart the phone, the location is not there are restart, and then I set it back to device only.
The problem is not a third party app requesting location. I'm very careful about what permissions I give to apps. And I had the problem before I really installed any apps. I don't know what it is and never really resolved this, but I am also suspicious of Google Play Services or some other low level Google process.
I suspect not a lot of people run into this issue, because they either just disable location services or set it to high accuracy, but not to device only.

In your case it is the Google Now cards...that you swipe right to get too. It's the location service to set the weather. I am certain of it.

Xperias are usually running very close to vanilla hence why I'm saying 'me too' to this bug. (also the xda thread on my XZp is a ghost town - on this reasoning the next phone will deffo be a pixel or a 1+).
Anyway, i suspect the issue has something to do with GnssLocationProvider returning an error on a wakelock by com.android.server.location.gnsslocationprovider - gpsrequest. But that's speculation.
Another thing I tried with limited success was to clear data for Google play services, services framework, google and play store. After reinit the location only appeared as designed - when in use. Phone reboot only gives about half an hour before something triggers location and the annoying icon stays on.
However, 12 hours later, on BT connect, location updated and the icon persisted. From what I can tell there is no additional battery drain - i'm using the third party GPS Status app which sends a notification whenever the GPS is engaged and it only comes up on regular play services update and of course maps and other location enabled apps.
Also tried force stopping all of the user apps, then main system apps (google and oem services) and then backend services till at some point it halted and rebooted. Icon was still there.
For now I disabled the location icon and only left the Gps status app to notify whenever gps is actually running. Right now my guess is play services acting up although this behavior started after Jan security update. What's worth mentioning is that i'm using the bets of google apps including play services. My dad has the same phone with the same config but no betas or anything and he does not have this issue. So i'm less inclined to think it's a device specific but rather a google play services bug.

For me this issue has been there from day one, when I got the phone in October (I ordered the day the phoen launched). So it does not have to do with the January update for me.
That aside, how do you disable the location icon?

Smartwatch Notifications stopped working

I have a Pebble Time that was working well (under the new Rebble alliance) with my old PocoF1 (running LineageOS)
Since I've moved to the X3 MIUI Global 12.0.2 (QJGEUXM) I think I have received about 2 days of full notifications, and then.. only reminders come through to the watch! no SMS/Whatsapp/email notifications.
I installed a 3rd party Notifications app, that also worked for 1 day and then nothing. (Notification Center for Pebble).
When I go into the app now it says "Notification Service Not Running - you must enable it"
It takes me to the Notification Access, where both Pebble and Notification Center are both ticked.
I've tried unchecking, rechecking. restarting... etc. nothing seems to get the Notification Service working
I've been to power settings and ensured that neither app is being restricted.
What am I missing!?!

ok, open "app info" on app which is not working correctly, check section "permissions", open "app behavior", in log find out which app operation is restricted or denied, then allow required permission, it should help; also allow autostart and disable battery saver (set "no restrictions")
I find very questionable this "new" policy in MIUI12 - "deny everything" from the start (maybe not new but for me it is, this is my first phone with MIUI), around 70% of my application (that worked on Android 10 without any hassle) would not work correctly, unless explicitly allowed autostart, disabled battery saver, plus rechecked/reallowed every needed permission... soo hope this help ... I spend almost 2 days in finding out why on earth my apps wont work anymore correctly (as they did before MIUI)

not for me. Notifications work for approx 24 hours. then I have to remove permissions. Force quit notification app. Restore permissions.. launch app. Then it all works again.
This MIUI is doing something funky and I don't like it

Yup same here.
I get my notifications back if I force close the Fitbit app.

Im having the same issue with mi Fit, yes, mi Fit, an app from xiaomi, I am not receiving nothing in my mi band 5, I checked all the options but nothing worked for me, mi Fit always showing notification access needed, this is so annoying

Have you tried ensuring the auto start toggle is on under app settings for wearos app?

another one with the issue here. amazfit bip

I have a Ticwatch Pro (Wear OS) and had it always disconnected after night.
I created an exception for 'google play services' in DND settings, and since then there were no more disconnects.
If you are using DND-mode, maybe this helps for other watches too.

my fitbit decides to give up during the day, before my DND at 23:00 kicks in.
Very annoying i need to force close the Fitbit app 2x a day or more to get notifications back

The Miui Menu is a bit confusing... And ambiguous in german - we have 2 menu entries 'Datenschutz' which would translate to 'privacy'. In the first one we have 'special App Access rights' or something like that. There you find exceptions for DND.
I think you should probably best try the search function - 'exceptions' or 'do not disturb' should show you the way, i suppose.

Tried all of that.
No joy.
Still have to force close the Fitbit app 2 or 3 times a day to get notifications back.
