Hi all,
Since I updated my systemui.apk to have a blue signal bar I keep getting this strange SIM icon showing intermittently next to my wi-fi signal icon?
Does anyone know what this is as I cannot find any alerts, there is nothing to click on or configure?
Never seen this before now?
I've turned off all of the location services in settings, but my notification bar still has an icon that looks like the GPS is still on. It's a circle with a cross in it and arrows at the cardinal directions. I've even turned GPS off using the power control widget, but it's still there. Anyone know what this and how to get rid of it?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That is the GPS icon and unless you are unlocked you cannot get rid of it (that I know of).
Can anyone help with this. I did a Google search and looked in teh phone where the icon description list is and there is no info on this.
On the notification bar there is a new icon i have never seen. It is to the left of the 4G and is like GPS but it's not a circle but more of a diamond shape with curved signal bars going towards the right, at the 4G icon. I feel kinda silly but since nothing I've changed in the settings anywhere has turned it off.
Thanks

It's gps/location services (not just standalone). The bars can be removed by turning off location services but the icon itself remains from what I've seen. Probably icon represents at least e911?

Hey thanks. It reminded me of GPS but looked different. So non-GPS but standard Location Services will keep that on? Too bad, it just clutters the notification bar.
Yeah i tested it out and the icon does stay but the signal bars go away if you turn off location services totally off. Bummer. I see that as something to maybe fix in the custom roms.
Someone help me, please!
My phone is an E2363 and my status bar shows location is in use all the time. When I first boot the system, the status bar doesn't show location in use. Then I open Google Maps, press home button and the location icon still appears in status bar and it never goes away.
I found out other phones face the same issue. Does someone have the same situation?

Does anyone know how to remove that persistent location icon from the system bar up top on the screen without disabling location tracking?
