Id be inclined to suggest a factory reset but are you sure there aren't other accounts on there maybe?
Possible silly question: Have you rebooted your phone?
Factory reset is out of the question - I spent way too much time installing and setting everything up after changing phones to nuke it all (because Google sucks and doesn't allow backing all the settings and such without root, but that's a rant for another day).
I did reboot the phone, yes, multiple times - after turning calendar notifications off, disabling the app and so on. No dice, the icon keeps coming back. Oh well, guess I'll have to get used to it - it's a distracting eyesore, but the phone is working fine. Maybe it fixes itself after the update to Android 15...
Thanks a bunch for all the suggestions and willingness to help - appreciate it!
That's super weird, I've had like half a dozen Xperias and never encountered this issue. Hope you can get it figured out, they're usually great phones. Sorry I wasn't able to be more helpful. Might be they patch whatever bug may be causing it soon too though, they're usually pretty quick/good about updates.
Thanks, here's hoping! I love it as a phone, but I suspect it might be another app showing the icon - there should be no way for a disabled app to do so...
Anyway, I'll keep casually digging, maybe start disabling apps one by one to see which one is the culprit or something :)
