Strange up-arrow in notification bar - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a strange arrow pointing up on the left of my notification bar. Does anybody have a guess what it might be?

Updates available maybe?

Believe I had this after I sent a file via bluetooth to my laptop.
I expect if you open the notification tray (swipe down on the screen) there will be a corresponding entry for that arrow. Also the clear button should remove it once you have seen it.

You're both right! It's an update to google reader. My connection is slow today, it's taking ages. Also, the notification is greyed out and hard to see.
Thanks, guys

So, whats your fav lost feature?
I know I have posted a lot of these in the tips/tricks, but its been a year.. some are old and forgotten. Could be new to people. Maybe there are new Tricks since I made that guide.

The thing with numbers I think its called dial pad but you put in a sequence of numbers and you can actually talk to your friends. That's pretty cool.

Hold upper-right corner (around clock, battery, signal icons) - the screen brightness goes to 100%
Swiping the letters to get specific artist names in songs to the music player. Swipe it while swiping it and you'll get and even more in depth search..

Long press of back button to quickly back out of several pages. Handy on XDA app as well as browser.

Spam in my notification bar

Is anyone else getting these spam adds showing up in there notification area saying things like you've won an Ipad and such. They show as a plus symbol when the status bar is in its regular position.
I want to find out how I cab prevent these spam notifications from occurring. Any suggestions?

I have them too. I think mine come from an ics theme I got for go locker. I love the theme so I deal with them, but they are very annoying. Sometimes porn ones too - not cool. If you find out anything let me know.

find the app that is causing them and uninstall. these background spam ads use up a bit of much need battery life =|
That's the hole purpose of this post. I don't know which app is causing this so I was hoping someone else does.

install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brosmike.airpushdetector and run it on your phone.it will show you which app is causing the adds.
I know 'easy uninstaller' by info life and 'mp3 download' with the red circle icon gave me spam on the notification bar.

Data Usage Warning in notification bar

This popped up in my notification bar so I opened it and tried to close it. After being unable to close it I simply deleted the app thinking that would fix the problem. Now the Notification. is still stuck in the bar but I deleted the app. Does anyone know how I can get rid of that damn notification?
Change the warning levels in settings...under wireless and networks

I deleted the Usage app. So I can't do that. You think I will have enough to re flash the rom to get it to work?

What is this Icon?

Top left corner in the status bar.... It seems random when its there and it is subtle so i never really notice when it shows up and when its gone.
I'm just curious
Usually it deal with the cards for Google now like weather and time to destination

That looks like GPS icon to me.
Edit* Do you mean that small dot on the VERY left?
Yea I get that small dot as well. I also think its from Google Now as well. That's the only time I see it.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Yeah I believe it is Google Now. Whenever the dot is there Now is saying there is traffic and a delay, or severe weather, so that must be it
