Location services icon - Galaxy Note II General

So I went to go turn location services off and I noticed that the notification bar icon stays there and just changes. does Anyone know of a quick fix for this? Or if I'm even really turning location services off? I thought this was pretty stupid, if someone's going to always have location services off, they're not going to want an icon always.

That is a Verizon issue. You would need to post this question in the Verizon Galaxy Note 2 forums.

Mine just shows these options
Thank God I'm using intentional note 2.
But what exactly is e911?

Emergency 911. Allows them monitor your location in case you call....I believe.

Missing App Icon

So I was holding my phone and I could tell that it accidentally turned on and was doing things. When I looked down to turn it off I noticed that the app launcher icon at the very bottom of my homepage is missing. I have no clue how to get it back and can't figure out a way to access all my apps.
Does anyone know how to get the icon back?
Thanks.

Stock weather widget not showing weather

So when I first put that widget on my screen, it was all fine but then it stopped showing the actual weather and it looks like this:

Any idea how to fix it?

Enable location again as this and internet are the two things needed for the weather plug-in to work. If enabling location don`t fix the issue please restart your phone and please also add the weather widget to some home screen though.
My location was enabled but I disabled it and enabled it again, it's set on high accuracy right now. Didn't fix the problem. Restarting also didn't fix the problem. After adding the widget to the screen again, it still only shows the clock and the date

And you are sure this is the weather widget not the clock one ?
I am grabbing the weather widget shown on the first picture, putting it on the screen and then it actually looks like the one on the second picture

Is the location switch in the drop done menu on /
if yes, then turn it off and the issue should stop.
If no, then you need to find which app is asking for a location fix. It could be weather app.

Definitely want to keep location settings on. Curious how I could tell what app is prompting the notification though.

what apps do you have that rely on location ?
try disabling one by one till the notification does not appear.
Do you have a partner as I use this to see where my wife is using the android built in app, and when I do this comes up on her phone, so maybe someone is checking up on you?

Severe Weather Notifications

I'm on a TMO S8 running 950U CRE2. I've noticed that I no longer get severe weather alerts. It happens in both 1Weather and WeatherBug. When I open the app the notification will appear but not until I open the app. Any ideas? Since it's happening in two different apps it's not app related. All other notifications seem to work.

Sounds like something is off with your location settings. Do those apps have permission to access your location?

I thought the same thing as initially I did not but set the location manually. I since have changed it to enable the app to use location info. But it didn't help. I'm wondering if it's a global location issue.

Figured it out. I had to include WeatherBug to the do not monitor list for power management.
