Lock icon next to battery

The other day, a small lock icon with a circle with an arrow on the end appeared to the left of the battery indicator in the upper right hand corner of the screen. What is that?

" Shows that the iPhone screen is locked in portrait orientation.

  • Weird icon next to battery icon

    this weird icon popped up on my phone yesterday and have no idea what it means. it is a lock with a circular arrow around it?

    You you have rotation lock enabled. A rotation lock icon will appear in the status bar next to the battery charge icon when rotation lock is enabled. This looks like a circular arrow around a padlock. If so:
    1. Double click the home button to bring up the multitasking bar.
    2. Swipe right until the last set of icons is displayed in the multitasking bar (these will include play/pause and skip buttons for iPod or Pandora).
    3. The furthest left icon looks like a circular arrow - touch this icon to enable or disable rotation lock on the iPhone.

  • What is this lock with a circle icon next to battery on OS 4.0?

    I have been having this battery drain issue since moving to OS 4.0. Just wondering if this lock with a circle icon has anything to do with it. My location services is off and has not been on for past 24 hours. There was some reference to a location icon on some web articles but my GPS is off. Ideas?

    That is the orientation lock for the screen. Double tap the home button, this opens the multi task screen. Now slide from left to right, you will see ipod controls and a symbol to the left of the controls. That locks and unlocks the screen.

  • 6500 Classic - Unusual icon next to battery?

    I've just got my new phone on T-Mobile. I can't remember if it's been there from the start but I have an arrow (like an upside down enter key on a keyboard) next to the battery. There don't seem to be any missed calls or messages in the outbox but I don't know why it's there. It's not detailed in the manual either. It's bugging me, how do I get rid of it?! Any help would be appreciated

    I've read that this arrow icon is for call diverts. My gf has it on her new 6500 classic, also t-mobile. When I told her it was for diverts she wanted to switch them off just to get rid of the arrow, but I convinced her to leave them on for when the phone's busy or has no reception - just annoying that it has an icon associated with it (and it's undocumented)!
    Thanks to 3point on 3g.co.uk for the answer.

  • After 3.0.1 new icon next to battery %

    After the upgrade to 3.0.1 there is a new icon that appears to be a phone handset above buttons and it is next to the battery % in the top right of the screen.
    Any idea what it is? I turn on airplane mode to see if it related to the phone and nothing changed.
    Thanks

  • Icon next to Battery Indicator

    Please explain what is the icon that looks like a phone above a keyboard. I have searched the Internet to no avail. Also, since this icon has showed up, my phone is not working correctly. IE- I can't hear the caller and vis a versa.
    Thanks
