My iphone is currently using battery life much more quickly than inthe past, and it also has an icon tht is starying on the screen, to the left of the battery charge percentage, that looks like a lock with a circle around it

i have an iphone that is using battery life much more quickly than in the past, a full charge is going to zero in a half a day or so, with out much use.
an icon is also appearing next to the charge percentage in the top right, and the icon is a circle around a lock
can anyone tell me what the problem is, and what the icon means?

The Icon meas your display orientation is locked to vertical so it wont change when you turn the phone sideways.
First thing you should check with the battery life is multitasking, which also happens to be where the orientation lock can be turned off. check out http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4211 and go from there

What does the icon on the top of the screen of the ipod touch that looks like a lock with a circle around it mean?, What does the icon on the top of the screen of the ipod touch that looks like a lock with a circle around it mean?

So at the top of my screen like where the time is... there is this symbol that looks like a lock with a circle around it. It is next to the battery icon. What does this mean?

It's the screen orientation lock. It prevents the screen from switching between portrait and landscape views when you turn the iPod.
To engage or disengage this feature, double click the home button. This will bring up the multitasking tray. Swipe all the way to the left until you see the iPod controls, then tap the gray icon with the lock on it. This will toggle the feature on and off.

Screen orientation lock. Double click the home button to bring up the recent app bar. Then finger swipe left-to-right to bring up the iPod controls. The icon on the far left (circle with lock in it) is the orientation lock button - press it, and the lock will go away.

A new tiny icon has appeared on my iPhone4s top right corner it looks like a lock with a circle around it what is it??

Can someone help identifiy the icon that I had never seen before? Thanks

I don't think you can delete it but you can remove it from the screen by swiping up the screen from the bottom & clicking on the lock icon to disable it; it should go dark.

That icon indicates your iPhone is rotation locked.
To remove it, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center. Tap the similar looking icon there to turn it off.

I have noticed a new icon at the right upper corner on my iPad. It looks like a lock with a circular arrow around it. What does it mean?

This is simply he rotation lock icon showing up. It means that your iPad 2 running iOS 5.5.1 is "locked" in either portrait or landscape mode. This restricts the screen from rotating when you tilt it. This feature can be very useful in certain cases. To disable this feature, simply double tap on the home button to access the multitasking menu. From there, swipe to the right and tap the icon that looks like a lock with a circle around it. Depending on the settings on your iPad, you may have to turn off rotation lock by flipping the switch directly above the volume switch into the opposite position as it is in now. Hope this helped! Reply back if you have any further questions! It was my pleasure to help you today.

TS1398 I have a little symbol in the upper right side of my iPad that looks like a lock and now I cant get connected to the internet. Can anyone help me ( my granddaughter was playing on my iPad before this happened)

I have a symbol in the upper right hand corner of my iPad that looks like a lock. Now I am unable to connect to wifi.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the button
For the WiFi issue try Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You can also power cycle your router, Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in.

It is the orientation lock. To de-activate, double click the home button and scroll to the left until you see the same lock within a circle. Tap it to turn off the lock

It means that your screen rotation is locked. Open up the control center by sliding your finger up from the very bottom of the screen, and click on the screen rotation lock symbol, which is the same symbol you see on the status bar.

It's the screen rotation lock symbol.
When your screen is locked, photos won't rotate when you turn you iPhone sideways (or visa versa)
It's for better viewing or a wider picture view.
You can change it with the same icon in the slider menu from the bottom of your screen (upper right side).
It toggles on or off.
