Note 2 mystery icon? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Any one know what this icon is in my status bar? I thought it was maybe driving mode as I was playing with that but I can't get it to go away. Tried restarting phone, battery pull. Thanks

Isn't that just GPS?

GPS, Verizon Location, and Google Location all turn this on. It has also been reported that it stays on if you disable those location services. It is assumed that the 911 location service is toggling it on.
Bottom line, it's just an icon telling you that a location service is turned on.

e911 location services icon...it can be removed by using a app like ninjamorph and modify the framework.res file

Thanks I never noticed it before

Happens on the newer phones. Can be removed, but unless you're truly anal about icons, not worth the trouble.

GPS

Does anyone else have this issue: every time I unlock my screen, the GPS indicator on the notification bar flashes for a few seconds then goes away. I can't figure out how to see which app could be using the
GPS.

Facebook? Seems like it checks my location whenever I fire it up.
I kept having that issue, and couldn't really find what it was. Then I gave up and just disabled my GPS altogether and enable it whenever I'm using the navigation, which I do use sometimes, but not that often.
Just look at your logcat....

[Solved][Q] GPS voice stuck on DATA CONNECTION LOST

I was using my GPS today to goto my cousins house, and I noticed every time it comes time for my GPS to announce the next turn, instead of saying something like "turn left" it says "data connection lost". At first I thought I was getting bad service, but then I realized I have full 4g and phone signal and my GPS is fine, its just changing the words to "data connection lost".
Has anyone else experienced this? I'm using Google Navigation fully updated on NRG 8/1 stock Rom with the most recent faux kernel. It only started happening, or rather I only noticed it, after I installed the Google Now Zip in the Amaze development section, so later I'm gonna uninstall and try it again. Any other suggestions?

I had a similar issue where it would give me a street name(I was not in my home state and the name was from home) instead of the turns although it was sending me in the right direction. I uninstalled and reinstalled....problem solved. Good luck.
Live and Die on this day....
Did you uninstall Now or Navigation?

Sorry yeah, I asked because I stated in OP that it started after I installed Google Now.
But you were right. Once I reinstalled Google Navigation it fixed.itself. thanks.

I.had it happen where it was just announcing the same direction over and over, but the map was still sending me the right way. I just deleted the app data, and ask was fine again.

Get a navigation lock on the Verizon ROM. Then immediately boot into recovery and flash new ROM.

Let it sit then. Also try gps status from play. If it's showing that it should eventuality get a lock, then locks after the first will be much faster. Also, make sure you're outside trying to get the lock, much faster

I'll give it a try and let you know. I have tried the gps status before on a non Verizon rom trying to get a lock but it never did and it was outside. Might have to stick to Verizon ROM. I hope not tho

I had an issue other day where it wouldn't lock. Pretty sure it had the satellites in view and connected to several but wouldn't get a fix.
Turns out changed a roaming setting and it locked.. Think it was the network type CDMA lte etc..
Edit: it was "network mode"

When you lock that way it is not using gps satellites and you will find out that your not even close to your proper location

Thanks for the suggestion but it seems that toggles data on/off in general and I want it to toggle it automatically when only on wifi which I did use the search with no luck hence why I am asking in the "Q&A Section"

seems like i did not understand your question clearly before. anyways, just to clarify if both WiFi and mobile data is on, the system uses only WiFi, i hope that is how your phone behaves.
I think that might be possible via apps like Automate it/tasker, however i don't seem to understand the need for doing that.
Does that help? i am still wondering if i got your question correct.
Maybe approach from a different angle.... what are you trying to accomplish once you have the ability to toggle data while on wifi?
Ok let me be more clear I'm wondering what controls the data icon visibility when on WiFi, on every phone I've had the data icon isn't present when using WiFi except this one

Wasnt it like a setting that said check for network data in the case of poor wifi. Think thats an option in some roms but maybe stock Max has it enabled by default. I will keep my eye on it at home wifi later.
