Oneplus 7t

[Mikark]

I have a OnePlus 7t, new to me, it's an unlocked T-Mobile branded phone being used on Verizon. The Bluetooth symbol shows all the time. It's on if I'm connected to a device and it's on when I'm not. Is this normal? I know I can turn off the symbol. I have looked all over the net and most of the problems are the opposite. Most people don't have a Bluetooth symbol and they want one.
Update: I've cleared the Bluetooth cache. No Change just lost all my connected devices. I don't have any problems connecting to all my devices. It' just the Bluetooth symbol in the upper right hand corner is on all the time.
I went into developers options and checked running apps. Under Bluetooth it said 1 process and 6 services running. I stopped them all and they started right back up again. Why would I have 6 running services with nothing attached?
I'm sure it has something to due with that 1 process. ??? Which is what?
I know this is not a major problem but it just bugs me.
Thanks for any help

Is the Bluetooth symbol lit when Bluetooth is toggled off? It's supposed to stay on when Bluetooth is turned on even if you aren't connected to anything.

The Bluetooth symbol is off when turned off. Its on when turned on with nothing attached (headphones, Bluetooth speaker, etc.) You're saying the Bluetooth symbol will always be lit if Bluetooth is on even if nothing is attached. All my other phones were never like that. If Bluetooth was on then symbol would appear. When disconnected the symbol would disappear. This is my first Oneplus 7T phone, maybe I'm looking at this all wrong. If you're sure then I have nothing wrong.

thanks

Sorry, you're right. My mistake I was thinking of the pull down. The Bluetooth symbol at the very top shouldn't be on unless you're connected.
Does that light go off when you toggle Bluetooth off?

 

[Mikark]

Yes, it goes off when turned off.

I show the same running services when not connected.

Turn bluetooth on, go to System>reset options>Reset Wi-Fi, mobile, and bluetooth, reset everything, restart your phone.

This will clear and erase ALL of your connections!
Your mobile connections should rebuild themselves, but you might need to re-enter the APN info so write all of that down first.
You will lose all of your stored wi-fi networks and all of your paired Bluetooth!

This should clear out if Bluetooth “thinks” it's still connected to a device.

Thanks, I tried this in the past and again. Same thing, nothing connected to Bluetooth. Symbol shows on the Home screen.
I have opened a case with OnePlus and this was their first suggestion. I reported back to them, but have not heard from them since then.
Thanks

Good luck with it
Here's the OnePlus 7T support forum (not the community one). Worth a try.

Thanks, hopefully OnePlus will continue to get back to me. I installed a small app to turn Bluetooth on and off on the home screen. If it comes down to it, I can live with it.

Thanks for all your help and suggestions

I also have a T-Mobile 7T, and when Bluetooth is on with NO devices connected, it shows the Bluetooth symbol in the notification area. If it's connected, then 2 small arrows next to each side (similar to <B>) appear.

I guess this is by design. Check page 28 of the 7T manual in this link:

I just had a chat with OnePlus. He confirmed that the Bluetooth symbol when turned on in settings connected or not will always show in the upper right hand corner.
