Symbols at top of iphone screen

There's a new symbol at the top of my iphone (next to the battery icon); looks like a clock - what is it? I checkedthe manual but it's not listed.

It sounds like you have an alarm set. Check the clock app.

  • Flashing red bar on top of iphone screen

    Hi there. I was reading already a bit about the red status bar here in the forum but some of my questions remain unanswered.
    I understand so far - please correct me if I'm wrong - that the red status on the top of the screen is popping up sometimes for some seconds to remind me that there are background applications running.
    My questions:
    - I know that there are background applications running (for example 8mm camera app or hipstamatic camera app), but can I turn that notification off? I want those apps running in the background because I use them very often. Or do they suck energy when they're running in the background? I mean: they are basically just open, doing nothing.
    - every time the red notification bar pops up my itunes stops. it's annoying. how can i turn these notifications off and prevent itunes from stopping playing music?
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks for the response. But now:
    - why for **'s sake is apple keeping all the applications running in the background anyway. why is there no function in the settings to close certain apps automatically after using them? i really don't want to take a photo or film and swap to another application and then manually have to close the application. that's like 6 wasted seconds of my life by doing unnecessary work and if i multiply that with the amount of photos/films i take (~30 per day) then i'm wasting about 18.5 hours per year just on closing the application after I've done a photo. so i want to keep that app running in the back so it's open all the time.
    - anyhow: i've closed the app (8mm app) and even restarted the iphone. the red bar with "8mm" still pops up. huh!?

  • Making email/text/missed call symbols show when the iphone screen is asleep

    Hi,
    So I purchased my first ever iphone on the weekend - the new 3G S. All very exciting. One thing I haven't quite worked out is whether it is possible to have the phone show me that I have mail/text/missed calls when the screen is asleep. Is this possible?
    With Nokias and Sony Ericsson's when the screen is asleep and blacked out, you can still see a pic of an envelope etc to let you know there is something waiting for you like a text. Is this possible with the iphone and if so how?
    Alternatively if there is an app that will do this, could you let me know what that is called so I can download it please?
    Many thanks in advance
    Paul

    This is not possible with the current iPhone and version 3.0 software. There are no apps available either that will wake the iPhone up and activate the screen to provide you information. Hopefully this'll come in some furure software update.

    You have TTY enabled.

  • On my IPhone 5s, there is a symbol at the top of the screen and it looks like a circle with a lock inside. What does it mean and how do I remove it?

    On my IPhone 5s, there is a symbol at the top of the screen and it looks like a circle with a lock inside. What does it mean and how do I remove it?

    You mean the Control Center.  As was said ...slide up with your thumb from the home button and a gray box should open (i.e. Control Center).  There you can turn the orientation lock Off or On.  You can also use the Flashlight or turn Bluetooth on or off, and other functions.

    They are also listed in the built-in User Guide accessible directly on the iPhone in Safari.

  • I have two rotating arrows at the top of my screen next to the 3G symbol. Does anyone know how to turn this off b/c it is using all of my battery life? This started after the iOS 5 update.

    I have two rotating arrows at the top of my screen next to the 3G symbol. This happened after the iOS 5 update. Does anyone know what it is and how I get it off, it is draining my battery?

    At first read, I also thought it sounded a bit snide.  Who here has read the entire manual before going to the web for a quick search? (Not me, and in fact, I found my answer - to this very question, by reading this post WAY faster than if I had read the manual.  What is so wrong with that?) 
    That is the beauty of having support forums.  If it is a bother to answer, without being snide, one is not obligated to do so.  And my apologies if he was not being snide... but there maybe a better way to point out the manual, such as "I have included a link to the searchable manual which may be of assistance to you next time you are puzzled by your iPhone's behaviour". 
    Just my 2¢.

  • I tried using the Voice Memos iPhone app and ended up with a red banner on top of the screen that flashes "recording 00.00" but I can't locate what I thought I was recording.  can you help me?

    I found an answer to this on another page (I was having the same problem) This worked for me:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.

  • How can I get rid of the dark area on top one third of my iphone screen which spoils my background image?

    How can I get rid of the dark area on top one third of my iphone screen which spoils my background image?
    It seems this problem is caused by the software to increase the readibility of upper letters (clock battery etc.) It be nice to leave us the control of choosing background letter color too if we are using brighter images or darker images.
    I'm using iphone 4s and it appeared after I updated to new patch. 7.1.1.
    Thanks,

    My iphone has several tiny messages across the top of the screen & will only show the screen with the apple in the center. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Hi jarakay,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPhone may be in recovery mode. If you have not already, try resetting the device:

    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can clear some glitches.
    If this does not work, try to set it up as new device without using the latest backup.

  • Iphone 5s top part of screen visible leds. Am I paranoid?

    Guys, i have a problem with my phone. There are visible darker spots on the top of the screen visible on a white or orange background, that are not visible on a friends iphone 5s. The problem is more evident when tilting the phone, also you can see it during the phone start up. This is a 3 days old phone bought from apple store. Also, the power button rattles.  I spent 630 pounds on this and I am feeling disappointed. The thing is the problem with the screen is minor but it annoys me so much! No other problems with it though. On a pitch dark room no leaking is visible. Only when using white background. Do you think it's worth a replacement? I'd have to wait for a week to get to an apple store.

    I bought it from the online apple store as there is no apple store in Nottingham where i live. I am going to Reading next weekend and there is an apple store there so i thought I could swap it for a new one. What happens if they are out of stock? The phone was not in stock for weeks!
