Hey guys I just flashed the June OTA and rooted and now the location icon is always on. I've gone thru recent location requests for apps and even tried turning location off completely but it's still on. Anybody else have this or am I the first?? Any help would be appreciated thanks. Oh almost forgot I have flashed exkm kernel from last month as the June update was pulled
Figured it out. It was something with flashing the OTA update. I wiped everything and flashed the full image and good to go
I've got the same issue but I'm completely stock. If I disable locations the icon disappears, otherwise it stays permanently. It's that how it's supposed to be now?

No it shouldn't be on all the time. Like I said when I wiped my phone and flashed the June image everything went back to the way it should have
Location icon always on? Is there a way to remove it? It's some app always requesting for location? Pixel 2XL.

I woke up this morning to something weird! Overnight, my phone seems to have taken the pesky Sprint Default Update on it's own! My home screens reverted to 3 pages (I had 5 set up) plus it moved some of my app icons around. Even folders that I had set up were back to the app drawer! Did anyone ever have this happen? Is there a setting I need to change to NOT apply updates automatically? This is not a big issue but I really don't want it to happen again! This is on my new warranty replacement phone...my old LGG4 kept asking to install the Sprint Default Update but I was able to decline it. This phone seems to have updated it on it's own!
I'm pretty sure it was the Sprint Default OTA Update as it also re-added some of the bloat apps that I had previously deleted.

I doubt Sprint would touch that. You might want to shutoff Automatic updates in Google Play.
You running stock launcher?

Stock launcher...Google Play auto update is always off and I did double check.
I'm not really sure what changed, i couldn't find any software revision as far as the phone software, but i can tell you after taking the ZV6 update and rebooting/setting up the phone, later that day a prompt showed up telling me the phone had to reboot for some kind of update... So there was something forced at some point that wasn't part of the ZV6 update.

Yes, I am pretty sure this is what down with mine too...but I was asleep and didn't see it happen. All I know is that I haven't had the Sprint Default Update notification show up since. I don't believe it was related to ZV6 at all...just a coincidence.
Ok, 2 weeks ago, I woke up my phone and I had a different wallpaper and a local advertisement. I changed my wallpaper, rebooted and it was fixed. This morning, I turned on my phone and now have chinese looking lettering at the bottom (see pic). No matter the screen I'm on, if I turn off the screen and then back on, this pops up and changes font twice then goes away. Any ideas?
I have same problem and was not able to find the solution. Does anyone know how to fix this??????
I'm thinking it may be related to synapse.
Bump?
Well, what ROM are you on? What apps do you have installed? Did you change anything in synapse? Did you try uninstalling everything or a different rom?

I'm on TexHDN4 5.0.1, my phone has been set up for a few months now with no changes (no new apps, I don't allow auto updates until I read the reason for update) and I have not modified any settings. I am going to look for a new update to this rom or just reflash it. That lettering is my only symptom aside form GPS once in a while telling me I am in Eureka Kansas and then fixes itself to my home state.
Ever since the last July security update, when I try to use any number of apps from capital one too smart select with my s pen, I get it asking permissionas then coming up saying I need to turn screen overlay off. This is an os permission that many programs use. Unless I turn it off on every app, I cannot give the current apps permissions. However summarily turning them off screws up those apps.
Is Is anyone else having this problem?

I'm glad to hear that I'm not alone. I've been really struggling lately. Seems like quite a few of the new apps trigger that "Overlay" problem. I'm not sure how/what to do. Please help
I've been having the same exact issues. It's been driving me nuts. The only thing I can think of is it must have something to do with the latest security patch we got.
Hopefully they fix it, soon!! How do we let them know?

I just turned off all the apps which using screen overlay. After I installed the new app successfully, I turned them all back on. That's annoying, but working.

From my experience, that only works until you open/download another app... Then you start all over
I am also having this problem, I am glad I wasn't alone, I was beginning to think it was just me!
I've found that restarting the device will resolve this issue MOST of the time. It worked for me twice yesterday...
But it's such a tedious workaround!

Go in Dr. Ketan rom & check in few days back post. Someone has posted a zip file. Just flash it & its perfect. Plz take a backup before flashing the zip.

I wish that it was going to be that easy for me... I'm using a non-rooted (un-rootable) AT&T Galaxy Note 5 SM-NM920A.
I have a galaxy s10 and recently just purchased a galaxy watch active. Somewhere after pairing the watch my signal strength has disappeared from my status bar. Its nowhere to be found. I went to settings>status bar info and made sure it was enabled, I removed my theme, I changed my launcher back to stock. I unpaired and disconnected the watch and nothing seemed to bring it back. I reset all settings back to default and reset the network settings as well. To no avail, this is incredibly annoying. Does anyone know how in the world to fix this without a complete factory data reset??

You don't have Good Lock installed do you?
Nevermind, apparently I can fix it by downloading Goodlock and enabling it through there. Unfortunate that I'll need an additional application for that. If anyone though knows how to fix it without requiring Goodlock to be installed that would be preferred! Also, in case you're wondering no, I did not have Good Lock installed when the issue occurred. I only installed it after reading that I could use it to add or disable indicator icons in the status bar.. It worked
At the time that the issue occurred I did NOT have Good Lock installed. However by installing Good lock I managed to fix the problem. I read in another post here that you could enable and disable indicator icons, so I downloaded it and enabled all of them just to get it back. I would still like to figure out how to get it back without Goodlock installed, because I don't really care for Goodlock and quite literally the only reason I'll be using it is to be sure I have a signal strength indicator.. That's hardly worth it being installed, right?

No it's not. My thought was maybe you forgot it was already installed. But yea, no sense running a app you don't want to fix a problem that can surely be fixed another way. Maybe you could try wiping the cache partition, it probably won't help, but it can't hurt either.

Yeah, I thought would work also, and tried it earlier. Unfortunately, once again to no avail. It all seems to have happened shortly after purchasing my Galaxy Watch Active, which doesn't make sense and I'm assuming there is no correlation, but you never know. For now I'll just keep using Good Lock unless someone else arrives with a similar issue and possible fix.

I may have missed this, but you did try turning another indicator off didn't you? Apparently there is only so much space alloted because I can't make all of the indicators show at one time if I turn all of them on.

Yeah I tried all that. Interestingly enough by installing Goodlock and enabling everything and then removing Goodlock seems to have solved the problem. So in short I buy the Galaxy Active and suddenly my signal bars disappear from the status bar. I then install Goodlock to add them back via that application. I then removed Goodlock and the signal indicators are back even after a reboot. Android can be so mysterious. Hopefully this helps someone else.
Have turned off AOD as I don't need it nor want it and the white fingerprint circle pops up every ten seconds or so even though I've said I don't want AOD.
Has anyone else got this crap behaviour??

Lol honestly mate, AOD is off and fingerprint animation is also off. Try it yourself, I think it's a bug.
I've just turned on AOD, going to leave that bitmoji thing on. Why not.
I've tried everything to get rid of the FP, it just won't go.
Yeh sounds like a , I don't use Fingerprint and I leave aod on...

I'm sure if you tried it would do the same thing. Probably one of the many issues.
It's definitely a beta this firmware

I even went so far as to disable the system AOD apk via an apk disabler tool & that did not work.
IDK if you ever found the actual toggle to turn it off......I finally found it by selecting the search result in Settings.
I typed in Always & stopped there,finding "Always-On Display".
The toggle is at the very top of the page (FWIW,I missed this earlier when in the settings,it was easy for me to overlook the toggle in dark mode).
If you've already tried this & it's still coming on,here's what I'm trying for the next day or so:
Turn Always-On Display back on & set a scheduled time for one minute.
For example,I've got it turning on at 4:00 A.M. & turning off at 4:01 A.M.
ATM,option 2,the scheduled on/off time,seems to be working.
EDIT;after a few minutes,AOD is coming back on.
This is annoying....... Not looking good as a keeper,not liking OxyColor OS at all,what a mess compared to the OP7T Pro.
Not just this,but,the settings layout (for individual app settings is a trainwreck & power/performance options not sticking,keeps reverting back to out-of-box settings.
Well I think I found a permanent fix for this...it's actually a bug (in my case anyway)
I was forced to wipe my phone, which was a huge pain due to a problem with a mod I'd installed..
Anyway on boot I set everything back up then realised it's got AOD on by default and I went a turned it off.
Low and behold it stayed off..no need to do anything.
So what I think has happened is the update that came recently (11_A.12) that could have caused issues, always good to wipe after an update.
I honestly don't know if this will fix things for you, but it did for me.
Couple that with the fact that I'm now getting unbelievable battery life...I think it's maybe a good idea to at least try, you may not fix your AOD but you may get better battery. As I did, I think you'll probably get both.
Here's a bunch of pics from the last 24 hours, midnight on Thursday evening /start of Friday up till now.
Absolutely amazing.

I just got the 1st system update for the T-Mobile US version.
The AOD option to turn it off is now working.
Here's what is/was strange, pre-update:
The only way I could see/access the Always-On Display settings/toggle was to have the stock OnePlus Launcher as the default home app.
Even then, AOD stayed on, whether toggled on or off.
I was able to figure this out from prior experience with the original Oppo Find X & VIVO NEX.
Very strange that certain (seemingly unrelated) settings would be hidden due to choice of home launcher,but,apparently,BBK doesn't see this as an issue/bug(feature, LOL) that needs to be addressed, guessing this "feature" is persistent on the home market China models/firmware.
Glad it was cleaned up for the T-Mobile US update.
On a somewhat related note, pre-update, I could not find a way to choose "No Lock Screen". I looked in the usual place to find such & it was not available, AFAIK.
Now, post-update, that setting is found in "Developer Options". (Why?????? LOL)
On an unrelated note, post-update, another bug has apparently been taken care of for the T-Mobile US version :
T-Mobile bloatware apps now stay disabled, if chosen to do so. Pre-update, they would re-appear after a reboot.
With these bug fixes, my outlook on keeping this phone has definitely changed for the positive. I still have about 10 days remaining before T-Mobile's buyer's remorse return window closes.
