Weird icon on my homescreen?

I've had this strange little icon on my home screen for the past two months, and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out what application it is referring to.. It's a little black circle with an arrow in it and a red dot on the top right corner. It has a '3' next to it, so I assume I have 3 of whatever it is. I've looked everywhere for this icon, asked all my crackberry friends if they've ever had it ( no one's seen it before). I don't mind it being there, i'm just curious as to what the hell it's for? Thanks!

I somewhat have the same ICON on my screen everytime i create messages, according to one of my friends that has the same unit - this has something to do with the language i chose.  It's this small box with a letter E inside of it on the upper right corner of my screen. Not that it concerns me, but i also could not figure out how to turn it off...
Thanks,

Nope, not the same icon at all.
Yours is an alternate language indicator. Your's does not have the arrow point towards 7 o'clock does it?

  • Rearranging the icons on the homescreen

    Probably a stupid question, but how do you rearrange the icons on the homescreen? I did it once by accident and now can't figure out how to do it again!

    Figured it out!

  • Weird icons appear when Opening Documents in Document Library

    Experiencing intermittent issue when opening a document in a certain document library.
    These weird icons appear.
    Artificial intelligence can never beat natural stupidity.

    That's a sprite file. It's downloaded once for a page and then CSS is used to pick a part of that image. The full display of that image is usually caused by a timeout when downloading the CSS file. If you refresh the page, does it display correctly?
    Does the page have any custom JavaScript or custom CSS?
    Here's some info on sprite files:

  • Weird Icon Appearing Have Boot

    Hey everyone,
    I've been having a weird icon appear on my desktop every time I boot up my computer.
    Here's the icon:
    http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa200/realmvenompics/Picture1-5.png
    Not sure where it came from or what it means. I've searched online to see if anyone else has had this problem, but haven't seen anything. I'm not sure if it could be some kind of virus?
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the help everyone. Taken care of.
    Apparently I considered doing Boot Camp and made a hard disk for it, but stopped in the middle and decided not to.
    Also just realized I butchered my title to the thread.

  • Weird Icon

    I have a weird icon that appears when I make a phone call.  It appears in the upper right corner next to the volume.  It is a rectanular box with stars going diagnoly thru it black in the top section and blue in the bottom.  This does not appear if I am using my bluetooth. I get it both on incoming and outgoing calls.  What is this weird thing???

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    That is for the Weird  Application on your phone     (sorry couldn't resist)
    I believe that indicator is to tell you that your earpiece on the device is active.  When you switch to speakerphone (alt+$), is disappears and the speakerphone icon appears in the upper left hand corner.
    Hope this info helps.

  • Weird icon on my applications bar

    I have this weird icon on my applications bar at the bottom of my computer screen. It sits in the background and I can't highlight it. It looks like the letter M inside a circle or maybe two adjacent arrows pointing up. Underneath the circle is a yellow arrow pointing downward. What does this mean?

    Hi Nomvuyo, and Welcome to "Discussions"!
    "...my applications bar at the bottom of my computer screen..."
    I'm guessing that you mean the Dock.
    Are you sure that the icon is in the Dock, and not behind it?
    From the Blue Apple menu, select Dock > Turn Hiding On. Or use Command + Option + D keys.
    If the icon is now visible, it was behind the Dock, and you can now move it.
    If it is really in the Dock, you should be able to eliminate it by navigating to
    HD > Users > Your Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.dock.plist : Move this file to the Trash.
    Restart the computer.
    You will now have a Default Dock, and will have to put back any extra icons that you may have placed there.
    Good Luck!

  • 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.

  • How to set a photo as an icon on the homescreen on ipad?

    Hi!
    Safari have the option to add a page as an icon on the homescreen. I would like to do the same with my photos - add a photo or several from my photo album as icons on the homescreen. The only option now is to add to wallpaper.
    Is this possible?
    Would very much appreciate a reply :)
    Cheers
    /Anna

    Wow, that was quick :)
    Ok, that's to bad.
    Do you know if it is an upcoming feature?
    Thank you!

  • Weird Icons

    Ever since I updated my iPod Touch [4th Gen] to iOS 5.0, I have this weird icons on my photo folder that kinda looks like  a Hard Drive, i can't delete them either because I recieve an error message saying that my iPod has been disconnected, should i worry?

  • Xterm has a weird icon after update

    Hi,
    I updated today, and afterwards I now have a terminal window with a weird icon.
    First I thought this must be an error, maybe it is a graphics glitch... But I guess it is just an ugly icon.
    Is it suppose to be a computer screen with a keyboard? It is kind of annoying to stare at all day since it looks like something a 3 year old would draw.
    http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/688/weirdicon.png/

    There are two changes involved: one was a modification to let xterm hint the window decoration (which appears to be what you're showing).
    That's done now via a resource setting which wasn't really used (iconName), and defaults to a small version of the desktop icon.
    The other change allows configuring the mini-icon (which isn't the default simply because it looks different...).
    That's done at build-time using --with-icon-name=mini.xterm
    As a quick-fix you "should" be able to set iconName (look in /usr/share/pixmaps for some nicer .xpm file)
    The change using iconName is noted in the next line of the changelog:
    extend iconName resource to search for icon named according to resource value and use that if found. If not found, use compiled-in pixmap. Both set the WM_ICON_NAME property which is used by various window managers, usually for window decoration.

  • Gfx Weird Icons everywhere. What gives?

    I opened Iphoto and there are a zillion dumb icon pictures and fuzzy numbers and lame screenshots. A lot of these seem to be in the GFX, about which I know nothing. What are all these weird icons and junk, and how can I get rid of them?
    Thanks
    Tom

    We've seen mention of this before. For no reason - apart from the unlikely event that some dragged the HD icon to the iPhoto Window - all the wee icon on your drive are imported to iPhoto.
    Solutions: Fast: restore from your bac up.
    Slow: Put the in the trash and empty it.

  • What would be really nice for the Note app if they would put a star, flag or some other icon on the homescreen note app to remind you that you made a note.

    It would be nice if the Apple Notes app would put a red star, flag or other icon on the Note Pad on the homescreen to remind you that you made a note. Whats the point of making a note if you cant see you left yourself a note. On the iPad as well as the ipod.

    Why would you suggest that to us other users in a technical support forum?  That's a waste of your time as well as ours.

  • Weird icon in 'system preferences'

    In 'system preferences' under the tab 'internet & network', I seem to have a button whose icon has been corrupted. It opens the 'sharing' preferences, but has an incomplete weird switch-like icon. What happend and how to fix this?
    I have a screenshot, but don't know how (if possible) to upload this to this discussion board...

    Quit System Preferences if it is open, and choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Enter ~/Library/Caches/ as the folder's location, throw away the item named com.apple.preferencepanes.cache inside, and then restart System Preferences. That issue occasionally crops up without a known cause.

  • Dark blue background and weird icon placement on jump list (recent files) of apps in task bar

    Hi, I recently made a factory reset of W8.1, and now I'm seeing a weird and very annoying dark blue backgound in the list of recent files that appears when you right click an app pinned to the taskbar. Also, the "pin to taskbar" and "close window" icons show sort of out of place and apparently larger than normal    I've tried looking through every possible setting but I can't find anything related to this list in particular. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advanced.

    Hello @Adrianrff, I understand that a dark blue background and strange icon placement on the jump list of apps in the task bar of your computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter! Since this issue occurred after performing a factory reset, I suggest performing a full system recovery by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8). This should return the jump list and icon sizes back to factory settings.
    If the issue continues, please contact our technical support for further assistance in this matter by clicking the link below to get the support number for your region.

    Regards Thanks for the suggestion, MechPilot. I did a full system recovery but unfortunately it did not work. Apparently the color of the background matches the color chosen in Windows first startup, but I don't remember having chosen white the first time, everything looked fine then. Any other suggestion?
