Location service stays on consistently after one ui 7 update

[gopicharan]

After the OneUI 7 update, location services stays on consistently. Especially the below services constantly keeps requesting location

Tried, uninstalling and reinstalling Google Play Services. But once I turn on Location Accuracy, the Location request is back on consistently.

Update: The only thing that resolved this issue was a factory reset.

A bug from beta 6 that wasn't fixed.

Been posted about all over the place since the official rollout.

Maybe the fix will be in next month's security update. Maybe not.

After updating my S24 Ultra to One UI 7, the location icon in the Quick Settings panel is almost always on. I understand apps like Google Play services or Weather might use it in the background, but this constant activity wasn't visible before. If this is normal, the new indicator is more aggressive than it used to be and might cause concern about battery drain. If it’s a bug causing location services to run excessively, please fix it. A factory reset didn’t help.

I have the same thing. it's apparently a bug carried over from the Beta.

Mine too. It's always on. But if I turn location accuracy off it disappears

[userVbdtspr9v9]

Same.

I'm having the same issue with One UI 7 on an S24, with battery drain as well. I hope I wasn't going nuts.

Since I upgraded my S24 Ultra to One UI 7, I have the permanently active GPS icon on the status bar. This is very annoying. I had to turn off the GPS and turn it on again when I'm going to use it. Please fix this!

Yep.

It's a bug from the beta 6 release that Samsung didn't fix before officially releasing it.

Maybe it'll be fixed in next month's security update.

Maybe next not.
