Im not sure what is causing it

But ever so often I’ll swipe up and in control Center on my AW3 notice the GPS icon in a solid blue.

It’ll stay that way until a reboot only and then it’s gone... until some random time during the day it’ll come back on and get stuck.

I notice it tends to come on usually on the charger.

I woke up this morning and it was at 74% and swiped up and no icon was showing.

I then placed it on the charger and went to do my things came back took it off and noticed then the GPS icon was on.

It’s been on for another 2hrs and battery is decreasing faster so I just rebooted it and it’s gone...

Before some one asks, the GPS icon is not on on the phone at the same time.
 
The icon doesn't necessarily mean gps is on but can just be location services which is much lower power. Thing like the weather app will be getting your location.
