GPS has not yet locked on but icon on the status bar is already active

Hi guys, I have a P9000 phone running Android 6.0. I noticed that the GPS/location icon is always active even if the GPS has not yet locked on my position. On every phone I have checked when the GPS has not yet locked on the position the icon is grayed out, once the position is fixed the icon will turn to white or active. In my case, it is always active even if it is still locking into position

What could be causing this? Is there a setting somewhere to correct this? The thing is I do not...
