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.

  • Play Icon Stuck Next to Battery Icon?

    I can't really complain about yesterday's update. I LOVE the iPod controls and iTunes Wifi. My only question is, does anyone else have the iPod play icon stuck next to their battery icon? Mine doesn't go away even when I'm not listening to music. When I pause (and essentially stop listening to music) it might show the pause icon for a little while but if I go into another application or put my baby into sleep mode then wake it up... the play icon is back.

    Ok. This happened to me a couple of times when I first got my iPhone back in July (so not sure it has to do with the recent update).
    My question I guess is when you get out of the ipod application, do you just hit the home button to get out?
    I ask because I found if I did that, not only did I have the "play" button still show up, but the name of the song appeared on the home menu.
    What I learned to do was when exiting the ipod app, I first paused the song, then backed out of it by way of the arrow on the upper left hand corner, then I would press the home button for about 6-8 seconds taking me to the home screen. I have not had that problem ever since.
    It's worth a shot for you all.
    Hope this helps!

  • Spinning circle icon next to LTE icon - iOS 8

    Just upgraded to iOS 8 on iphone 5. While using Safari and Mail there is a spinning circle icon next to the LTE icon. It constantly spins while Mail is open and all web pages even thought the pages are fully loaded. This is causing the battery to drain quicker. Is there a resolution to this?

    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.

  • My iPod touch shows that it is charging but it actually doesn't charge and I've tried to restore/ restart it but the only icon is the charging icon with the battery icon with a bit of red fill and a small lightning icon below it. Can anybody help me?

    My iPod touch shows that it is charging but it actually doesn't charge and I've tried to restore/ restart it because the only icon is the charging icon, the one with the battery icon with a bit of red fill and a small lightning icon below it. Can anybody help me and give me solutions before I go to an apple service center?

    Place the iPod Touch into DFU mode.  This will be similer to what the factory would do to install the iOS onto new iOS devices.
    Placing it into DFU mode will allow you to "format" and install the current iOS for that device.
    To place your iOS device into DFU mode.
    First connect you iOS device to you computer.
    Open iTunes if not already open
    Now turn off your iOS device using the power swipe.
    Press the home and sleep button on your iOS device for 10 seconds.
    Release the sleep button but carry on holding down the home button.  For another 10 seconds.
    Your iOS device should now be on DFU.  Click on restore and iTunes will download the lastest iOS for your device.
    Hopefully that sorts it if not, you will have to go to a sevice centre or call Apple Care up and get them to collect it and repair it. (replace it)

  • 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

  • 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?

    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?

    Hi,
    I have an odd icon to the left of my battery that looks like two warning flags crossing one another? Any idea what it might be?

    If it looks like this: , that's the Bluetooth icon.
    You can turn off Bluetooth in Settings > General > Bluetooth.

  • Unusual icon next to User icon in Console One

    Hi, I was hoping to locate a list of Novell icons for Console One, as I need to identify an icon which has appeared next to an existing user.
    The existing user has the standard user icon, then a symbol which looks like a few dots circling anti-clockwise to an arrow.
    I can't work out how to paste or attach an image to this post, but the icon is roughly like a reverse refresh symbol.
    When I view the same tree in iManager, this user doesn't appear at all, either when I search that OU or when I search from the root of the tree. Just wondering what is the status of this user account and why this icon.
    Thanks, Nat

    Going by your description I'm guessing this is an alias, meaning it is a
    pointer to the real user. If you go to the Other tab in ConsoleOne I
    think it'll show you the Object Class which is probably 'Alias'. This can
    happen if you move an object and choose to leave an alias behind so that
    references to the old DN still work.
    Why would this show up in ConsoleOne but not iManager? Perhaps one
    replicas has the object while others do not and it's a coincidence based
    on which client (iMan/C1) hits which server. Query all servers via
    iMonitor to see what they show respectively.
    Good luck.
