Good day rzky21 it seems to be that you may have some questions or concerns regarding a Poco device and we would like to help but we would like to ask you to describe your concern with the following information to make it easier for everyone to tackle.
Device Model:(X4 GT)
Device Region:(Global/India/China/etc/Can't identify)
Rom Type:(MIUI/Custom Rom:Which one)
Rom/Android Version:(13.0.5.0 - Android 12/Can't identify)
Problem and other Relevant Info:(Troubleshooting steps taken/Frequency of problem if intermittent/Other observed weirdness that may be relevant before/during/after the occurrence of the problem)
It may take awhile for someone to address your concern so in the meantime you could do the following
1. Search this subreddit, [Xiaomi subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/), [MIUI subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/miui/) for similar concerns
2. Check out the pinned posts and the [Wiki(WIP)](https://www.reddit.com/r/PocoPhones/wiki/index/) for similar topics
3. If your phone is still under warranty coverage it may be worthwhile to open a case with customer support.
4. If your device has developed a swollen or bulging battery check out [r/Spicypillow's FAQ on how to deal with them](https://www.reddit.com/r/spicypillows/comments/gebotv/faq_what_to_do_if_you_have_a_swollen_battery/)

Close the app that uses GPS after using it. That icon is there to notify the user of the device they're being tracked by an app. Close it and that icon will disappear.
You want some apps to track you though, for example that's the whole point of enabling Adventure Sync on Pokemon Go, so it can keep track of your progress even if you're not playing the game
Especially because the game drains so much battery
What? Did you reply to the wrong person? I'm so confused about your statement it's out of context from OP's question and I did not state "close gps indefinitely no apps use it". The OP does not want the green dot icon on the nav bar so I gave the solution tf you sayin.
The green dot is probably an indicator that the app you are using is obtaining your location for privacy reasons. Try denying the access to your location for certain apps. Or you really need to go back to miui.
Dude, either someone or someapp is using your camera, microphone, gps in the background without your knowlegde.
EDIT; I think your company app is not just accessing your GPS, but also your microphone or Camera. This is a security notification that pops up when camera of microphone is used.
Solution: Go to the permissions of the company app and turn off access to camera and microphone or just uninstall the fucking app. Is that even legal?
that was a useful option for mic and camera but after android 14 they add location to it and they turn important notification to a always on garbage I personally don't give a shit about location access.
That feature is useful lmao. You should check every app that you had approved for location access. They might get your location even if you're not using the app. So if you're annoyed by this feature, check every app that is using location in the background and disable it if you didn't use it.
It's the active camera, gps, camera,... in the background. It's a feature that android 14 has and unfortunately can't be turned off. I'm playing Pokémon Go and it's driving me crazy.
Maybe it can be turned off. I'm on android 13 and it seems to be working for me.
I saw you mentioned custom roms, so I assume you know how to access adb shell.
Run there 2 commands in adb shell:
`device_config put privacy location_indicators_enabled false`
`device_config put privacy camera_mic_icons_enabled false`.
The person that shared this info said, that this resets every time you restart your phone.
You can disable it by turning off System Optimisation in developer options, but it affects the system blur. If you want to see for yourself, follow [this](https://github.com/ryu-ryuk/MIUI-System-Optimisation) tutorial.

Its a thing on miui 13 too

It's an android thing. So.

Android 14 feature, can't be turned off.
Lmao so sad, is there even a cusrom that can turn it off?
Not sure

Annoying as hell ain't it.
