I had this issue months ago whereas the location icon stayed there and also the green location icon on the upper right.

I did a factory reset and set my phone up again and that got rid of it. Now when it comes up its only brief and then goes away.
That's right I remember you doing a factory reset. It really doesn't bother me enough to have that light on, not enough to do a factory reset. But interesting that it fixed it!
 
Can you share your thoughts as to why you’ve switched back and how do you feel about the ultra now you have?
Biggest thing. Even though the outer screen is much bigger now, I still don't like using it, but it's also kind of a pain opening the phone up. And my thought so along was that I was only going to keep it if I was so blown away that I didn't miss my Ultra. But missing my Ultra while paying $1,000 after a trade in just doesn't make sense.

Biggest issues for me are exactly what I thought they'd be:

- Camera
- Battery (and charging speeds)

With that said, I have major FOMO at the moment because that big screen on the Fold 7 is so good, but I'm just going to try to remind myself that I'm saving $1,000 and I still have the top phone on the market.

That aligns with my thoughts. What colour S25U do you have?

I did love the inner screen too but didn’t love the cover screen - my use case means I’d probably be using the cover screen around 70% of the time.

The S25U is just perfect in terms of screen size for me.

I have the White Silver 256gb. Not my favorite configuration. I think I'm going to go black for the S26 Ultra and 512gb since I'm sitting here with about 60gb left.

All that needs to be done to chase the green thing away:

1. Change Location Services setting for Google to "only when using app", instead of all of the time.

2. Make sure "use precise location" is enabled.

I've been on Apple Music as my streaming service but I wonder what is the best streamer to use with Android Auto? Voice Commands have never worked well with Apple Music (Always telling me when it's safe use the app on the phone) and I'm thinking maybe it's time to switch. That and my AM annual subscription ends in late September. I have used Spotify and I like it except for 2 things: They don't have a shuffle entire library option for some strange reason and the way they handle local files leaves a lot to be desired. Also, with Apple Music they recently updated it to make it less user friendly than it was before. I'm not sure if they really care about the Android app as much (And why should they).
