I have privacy guard running but I don't want the little notification so I switch it off in privacy guard settings, but it always turns itself back on so when I open an app the icon returns.
Another annoyance is that my location icon seems to be staying put, implying something is constantly polling location. I've fiddled with permissions and can't figure out what's triggering it. It doesn't seem to be having a detrimental effect on battery so it might be a bug.
Hi,
Re the GPS/location icon. I noticed the same issue. Seems to happen if the location is on 'device only'. Switching to one of the other location modes and rebooting 'fixes' the problem.

Hey guys,
I'm an old WM user but new to WP8. Been on an iPhone hiatus for a few years.
Happy to be back.
Picked up a Lumia 920 and enjoying the device so far.
My question is that I keep seeing the "Location" circle drop down into my status bar every 30-60 minutes. It stays there for about 3 seconds and then goes away.
Any idea what is using my location?
iOS did give a very detailed location management settings screen which showed exactly which apps had location permissions and which apps have used location recently.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
I'd suggest having a look into Settings / Background Tasks (you'll have to swipe to the side to see application settings which is where this resides). Any App being able to run in the Background is listed there. I'd check for Apps that might use location frequently in that list but I can't give you a more exact answer.
Do you have the find my phone feature enabled? I'm not sure what the polling rate it, but as the battery dies, it polls more frequently.
One serious problem in "realme 1" is when I turn on the accessibility of a certain app and developer options, status bar color changes to yellow nd it won't go until I switch them back to off....it says Accessibility is turned on. Tap to close..... And even if I clear ram, the accessibility turns off automatically... Any solution to keep accessibility of a desired app always on? I tried every possible trick but in vain...a little help is appreciated. Thank you

Color of status bar changing to yellow and need to turn off is not possible they (realme )claims it's feature of color os. And accessibility option issue is when you turn on accessibility option or similar app which is permitted to accessibility option is responsible.
Yeah, I too noticed it
I have the exact same problem, I thinking of to change my phone due to multiple reasons
New updated solved the issue
I always set my dpi as 540, the orange developer option reminder was irritating. The recent software update has solved the issue, check it out.

Solved in New update but still there is a problem
I use greenify app to kill apps in background
But it needs accessibility on Everytime.
But once i kill the app from recents (greenify)
The accessibility gets turned off automatically in settings.
Also in developer options i turned all animations off, but after restart all settings are restored to default.

no you don't get it right, what he says is whenever animations are set to 0.5x (in my case) .. after restart device the settings are get default to 1x automatically. This is really weird.. and frustrating.
In Settings -> Smart assistance -> Accessibility -> Downloaded Services, the apps installed there keep getting turned off.
I'm running Type Machine (keystroke logger) and Smart Launcher, and neither will stay enabled. I can turn them on, then a while later, I'll get a notification that Smart Launcher is unable to turn the screen off, and directs me to this setting, where I find both disabled again. I haven't been able to pin down a time frame yet, although it will happen multiple times between reboots. Neither setting survives a reboot, either.
Anyone seen this before? I've found a few reports of it on Reddit, but no solutions. Can't believe I couldn't find anything about it on here.
Aside from this and other small annoyances like the touchscreen apparently losing calibration, it's a fantastic phone.
I sometimes have this issue with nova launcher as well. You can go battery settings > app launch > turn the two apps to manual manage. It may solve this issue of them auto turning off.

Thanks, I've done that and will keep an eye on it to see if that solves the problem.
I have this issue frequently with MacDroid. I have MacDroid set to manual battery control and have excluded it from pretty much all system management. It also has every permission known to mankind.
Oddly, even when Accessibility shows that MacDroid is disabled, sometimes (most of the time) it continues to function. So this may be a UI bug as much as a system disabling the services bug.
The cause I am not sure. I only know the downloaded service for Nova Launcher gets auto turned off if you switch back to Huawei launcher. However, it does NOT get auto switch off when you remain on nova launcher.

It doesn't seem to affect apps running at all, merely affects certain specific features. In the case of Type Machine, it seems to just be blocking its ability to capture words coming off the keyboard app. The app is still running, I can still see previous captures, it just stops capturing.
With Smart Launcher, it says it's needed specifically to "allow Smart Launcher to expand the notification panel and the quick settings panel".
I changed the power settings per Koong1's suggestion... they turned off again after a while, but I re-enabled both, and they've stayed on ever since. So that may have solved it.

You can try restarting your device to check if they stayed enabled. If it does, then they are pretty likely to remain stay enabled in the future.
I have the paid fluid navigation app that works awesome. I also did the adb trick in order to disable the native gestures. My issue is that every once in a while the system will keep reverting to the 3 key navigation bar setting even though I had it set to gestures. See below. I'm using Nova launcher prime as well. It's annoying to have to go back to settings and change it back to "gestures". Anyone having this or know why it's doing this?
I normally wouldn't care about this as it really doesn't affect my gesture navigations no matter what the native settings are set to, however I have noticed that whenever it's set to the 3 key bar, when I unlock my phone, the whole screen shifts down really quick to take up the space that was supposed to be occupied by the navigation bar, if that makes sense. If the setting is on "gestures" , nothing shifts and it's really smooth and seamless.
In fluid gestures try disabling any settings in the blacklist. I was having issues with the app constantly stopping after fiddling around I found doing this fixed all the problems.
It may help, can't be certain though.

I had 2 of the default settings activated in the blacklist section, I've turned everything off as you stated now. Let's hope that does the trick. Thanks!
My Pixel 3 shows frequent "Background processing" notifications from the Android Phone app. I have tried to silence them by long-pressing the notification and then toggling background processing to off, but they always keep coming back.
The notification settings might be getting reset every time the Phone app is auto-updated, which is probably very frequent. Seems like a serious UX oversight, and I would love to get rid of it.
This is also driving me nuts. Tried to disable "background processing" notifications for the phone app... Won't even let you toggle to disable.
Is the Phone app pre-installed in your Android system?
Is there something wrong with your Android system security? You'd better have a full security check.
It's a Pixel, of course the Phone app is pre-installed. And there is nothing wrong with the OS security. This problem existed on Android 10 and transferred over after upgrading to Android 11.
And 2-3 weeks ago, I started receiving a similar notification from the Wellness app, can't disable that one either.
