Note 3 4G always on

[kadrek]

I just got a note 3 from Verizon and even when I turn mobile data off the little 4G lte symbol stays up next to the signal strength bars. Is it like this for everyone? When I turned off data on my Droid Maxx the 4G symbol would go away.

Welcome to Android Central! My wife's HTC One M8 on Verizon does the same thing. If you turn off mobile data, you still see a greyed out 4G symbol. If you turn mobile data back on, the 4G turns white.

I find it very annoying, is it using battery when it's greyed out?

I don't believe so. I think it's just a placeholder icon.
