[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] cb474:
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.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
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.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Sebi673:
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.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] cb474:
I don't use Google Now or Google Assistant. I have no Google based weather update running. I have that stuff totally disabled.

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?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Sebi673:
Well for me it's an option from display settings to toggle which icons you want on. But I think you can also try the system ui tuner. Most androids have this hidden menu. Here's how to activate then [youtube]Zyl2RQsPwHk[/youtube]

Optionally you can try this app after. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zacharee1.systemuituner
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] xingyiya:
guys, i had the same problem and it is related to chrome or whatever browser you are using. sometimes when you visit certain websites they asked your permission to locate you, if you allowed it, your browser will start using your gps data. i ended up force stop chrome, then clear the recent app list. problem went away afterward. hope it help.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Sebi673:
Lately the trusted location smart lock feature started misbehaving hours after a restart. So eventually I opted out of play services beta, cleared data uninstalled updates and my location issues and the persistent icon went away.

[update. Issue returned after two days..... ]
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] bakemcbride21:
Dunkin Donuts App will cause this behavior occasionally, too. Pretty much any 3rd party app that requests location can "go rougue" for a little bit and keep the location icon pinned on the screen I imagine. I just hit the menu button and "x" out the app cards one by one (in order I suspect them) until it goes away. Eventually you close out the offending app.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] breambeem:
Hello All,

I had a pretty similar issue when I turn on the screen the location icon will appear on the top right of the screen and then disappear. This happens all the time even if I close all app in the recent and disable all location permission for every single app except play store service. It turns out that the cause of the issue is the "Turn on wifi automatically" option in Wi-Fi preference. This is a feature that make your pixel acquire your location in order to determine if it should do anything with wifi. Now after switching that option off I don't get gps icon appearing when I turn on the screen anymore.

Hope this will help,

Beem
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] cb474:
I'm having this problem again, right after the April 5 update for the Pixel 2. Now my old solution doesn't work. The issue was always that I needed to restart the phone with "Improve Location Accuracy" on in the location settings. That would make the location icon go way and then I could disable that setting (until the next reboot). But now this is not solving the problem.

I also tried the other suggestions in this thread. Killing all apps that make location requests. Clearing the cache and storage on Google Play Services. But nothing seems to work.

Any other suggestions? Anyone else have this problem come back after the latest system update?

[Edit: After much fiddling around, I figured out that I needed to disable location altogether. Then when I restarted the phone the icon went away and returned to funtioning normally after I reenabled location. Interestingly, after I did that "Fused Location" appeared in the list of processes that have made recent location requests, even though it had not been there during my earlier many restarts and fiddling around. So it seems like something weird was going on with that.]
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] itsmohsink:
Can we have Substratum Theme Engine & its themes on OnePlus 5 without rooting, I really love substratum themes and I don't feel like rooting my new OP5 right now!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] 3DSammy:
Not on the current OOS (Nougat) but likely when we get the Oreo OOS version. I use Substratum with root but in its "Legacy" form so I need to reboot after any theme application and miss other features that an OS integrated Substratum would provide.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] itsmohsink:
So if any device is running 8.0 it can have it without rooting?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jhs39:
There aren't enough devices running 8.0 to say for sure. Rootless Substratum works on Oreo on Nexus and Pixel devices but those are Google phones. Other device manufacturers including One Plus alter Android code for their own devices so how well it will work is not known. OOS alters Android framework enough that only a few Substratum themes are currently compatible even if you are rooted. On a Nexus or Pixel phone running Nougat if you were rooted most Substratum themes are compatible in legacy mode. That's not the case with most non-Google phones. On those you usually need a custom ROM to use Substratum.

Hello Guys

I am struggling with this issue and I don't know how to fix it.

Since I've installed Amazfit Watch my Huawei P8 Lite keeps turning on the Bluetooth and is not possible to stop it.

Once you try to switch off it takes few second to turn on automatically :crying:

I've tried almost everything, the only working solution it's to delete Amazfit Watch.

Of course there must be something wrong, any idea?

Thanks in advance for your support!

[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orphen83:
Unfortunately it seems that the telephone has a known issue related to the WiFi and Bluetooth hardware component. Try to place your telephone very close to your modem/router and check if you can use the Wifi...

If yes the only way to solve your problem is to contact Huawei for the warranty period. :(

I just received my Verizon SMT-5800 aka HTC Libra today.

You should be able to change it by pressing the * [T9] key, and it will remember your preference. Be sure that the keyboard is closed, since some HoFo users reported it wont work if open.

btw, how come there is no separate section for the s720 Libra/5800?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizdrake7:
Hi there developers, I have an question for you!!!

Can Nougat SystemUI can be decompiled and modified into oreo themed SystemUI. OR, Can Oreo SystemUI.apk be ported to Nougat ROMs.

I'm sorry for asking such a noob question but if that's possible then people with Nougat ROMs can enjoy Oreo..

If any developer can do this it will be very good for Nougat users.

Hey guys,

I have a SM-T585 who sustained water damage. Didn start..no sign of life.

Opened it up, cleaned with IPA and toothbrush. Applied flux to hole board and re-flowed at 210C with hot air soldering station.

After this it boot up worked for few days then the touchscreen starting acting a little weird (like random swipes) so i opened it again cleaned the contatacts on digitizer ribbon. and now its stable.

After all this i thought i`d do a factory wipe clear cache.... now its stuck in "Unable to sign in due to unknown error please try again"

Flashed with odin stock 6 and 7. On android 6 it tells me to enter the pin but i never had pin.

Looking again in the recovery menu i saw "E:\ misc not found".

My next thought is to install TWRp...but site seems down or try flashing and use re-partition..but i didnt fint PIT file.

What are your thoughts on this?

Can i re-mount the partition via ADB? i dont know linux...just basic ls, cd, mv :))

New motherboard is the easy way out. I can go as far as replacing a BGA but i dont know witch one.

Thanks. Looking forword to this.

Hi all.

Sorry if my english is fawlty, it is not my original language.

I'm writing as the least tech-retarded of my colleagues, and hope you will bare with me.

I'm trying to move a user app to system app on a Sony Xperia Z1, Android 5.1.1 (with no extra SD-card)

(Long story short, the daughter of a colleague is getting leg-extending surgery, and will most likely not be able to move around as much as she used to, playing here favourite game; Pokemon Go. We are trying to help her cheat (terrible role models, I know), so that she can spoof for the next 4 to 9 months, when pains are to much)

I've spend days searching for guides online - and found a bunch as well. But it just won't work.

I root the phone using KingRoot or KingoRoot. Root checker afterwards tells me that all is fine.

I've tried guides from this forum, highonandroid, isunshare.com and several more (beeing a new user, I'm not allowed to link in my posts)

Between each failed attempt, I repair the phone to stock rom, using Xperia Companion via PC.

Every time it fails when trying to move the GPS-app to system app. I get errors saying that the operation is not permitted.

Is there something, specific to the Z1 that needs to be "unlocked" in order to make this work

(Since the goal is to allow her, to play PoGo, I also need to remove the root afterwards, since Niantic doesn't allow playing on rooted devices.)

[OnePlus 3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeevoX:
I've been rooting around in the recently posted Pixel 2 (XL) system images, and I've found the key to Google Lens (and any other Pixel 2-exclusive features, presumably, which ones though?), so I decided to make a flashable zip and share my success.

Achievement Unlocked: Featured on XDA

Thanks a million!

Features

- Google Lens in Google Photos (Not in the Assistant)

- Pixel-exclusive apps in the Play Store (namely, Pixel Launcher)

- Pixel-exclusive wallpaper categories (Underwater, etc.)

- You tell me

Unlimited photos?

According to [MENTION=5870938]thecoolkid[/MENTION], photo backup settings will stay the same, and you won't get unlimited photos unless you're uploading in "high quality", which will compress them. Basically, although it claims unlimited photos, it'll just be the setting you had before.

Instructions

Really?

1. Flash the zip, and Google Lens should magically appear (I didn't even need to clear Google Photos' app data)

2. Enjoy Google Lens (Only inside Google Photos, not in the Assistant itself - more info here)!

Uninstalling Google Lens?

You can revert the functionality of this zip and effectively uninstall Google Lens by deleting the following files:

/system/etc/sysconfig/nexus.xml
/system/etc/sysconfig/pixel_2017_exclusive.xml
/system/etc/sysconfig/pixel_2017.xml

I thought google turned off this trick from its side?
[OnePlus 3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeevoX:
That was different, that was where you would spoof that you have a Google Pixel 2 XL. In this case, I add the actual permissions that define a Pixel 2 device:

<!-- This defines the Photos preload feature for specifically the 2017 Pixel devices. -->
com.google.android.apps.photos.PIXEL_2017_PRELOAD
<!-- This is meant to be the canonical feature identifying 2017 and newer Nexus devices. -->
com.google.android.feature.PIXEL_2017_EXPERIENCE

It also adds other canonical features identifying a Pixel device, you can check these out inside the flashable zip.

It works for me. You may need to combine the previous trick as well and pretend you have a Pixel 2 (XL) in build.prop

This zip doesn't enable Google Lens inside the Assistant itself, just inside Google Photos. I'll clarify that in OP.

All the best,
