I have searched all evening to try and find out how I got this icon in my status bar. Could someone please tell me what it is for?? It's the one left of the WiFi icon. I am running Gingeritis v1.0 Beta IX. Thanks to anyone who can help. This icon doesn't appear in any android status bar icon list that I could find.

I'm pretty sure thats a GPS icon. try turning off GPS,see if it dissapears or changes.

Thanks for the input, but I have all three GPS on and still have the icon. If I uncheck all of them, the icon goes away!! But turn on any one of them and it comes back. Makes no sense.
Its the "Location" icon. A few ROMs removed it. It's kind of useless... just ignore it.
The crosshair is location. The two curved lines on the right of it is gps. It will be there when any location or gps activities are taking place. It will go away when all location or gps is turned off. This includes all things that are location based( weather, browser, or any app that uses location) not just maps or navigation.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for all your input. No, I'm not trolling. I didn't see this icon on any icon list. What a useless icon. Yes, I KNOW I have GPS on!!

I think if you turn all 3 gps OFF that icon will go away.
there's been a gps icon for years
On stock ROMs, I believe that icon is always there and is because of the e911 service, which in the US cannot be disabled.
It's not there on the DAS BAMF ROM I'm currently running on the Thunderbolt, but it's there all the time on my stock Droid Charge.

P.S. complete novice.

It's easy,
Download and install HTCustom from here:
http://shadowmite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=2231&p=7890#p7890
In the "UI" tab you can select in Clock Display one of these options:
Time, Date, Both, Nothing or Battery
Select the one you like, save and soft reset.
Cheers,
Works a treat, only thing is it now hides the volume and half the signal status icons.
If i tap in the empty space it does bring up the volume slider, The icon is just invisble.
when i open a program its is still shown like above.
If i slide open then close again (refreshing the screen) it looks fine. but once back to the today screen it it goes back to like the image above.
On another tanget, the battery status bar (Lordsmiff's) at the top doesnt always work.
I have to stop and restart the app to get an accurate reading, that or view the power status in the settings tab, then go back to the today screen.
Anyone able to shed some light on either of these matters?
Cheers

You might also try this. It comes in different flavors. I just installed it tho so i dont know if it will have the same problem.
OK so this is completely new to me. My current location for weather has changed. Any ideas? It almost looks like Arabic text, however the location weather is correct. Any ideas? Driving me crazy.

for the jihad!!!!
i would try rebooting, if that doesnt help maybe turn on gps and fiddle with maps until you get a location for yourself then re-sync the weather.

tried it all man. I've rebooted, restored various roms and they all switch to that as my location, tried maps too. no dice on anything.
like i said, the weather condition and temps are correct.....UGH!
I think it looks like its from around Indonesia or Malaysia? Maybe your phone thinks you are on vacation in Kuala Lumpur
Hah well glad I know what locale my phone thinks I'm at. Driving me crazy though. Between this and my new found poor bluetooth A2DP streaming I think I may be heading towards a replacement phone.
In case this comes up with others, it's a bug with VZW's location services. Make sure to not have that turned on. HTC apparently acknowledges this bug with their weather widget and the service. Google and GPS are fine to use.

Following up more. I'm rooted and this only seems to be affecting custom ROMs. Stock sense does not have this problem. Not positive now what this is, but it is still happening.
Having the same issue on my phone. Running Bamf 1.3 and the 1.76ghz kernel and apparently my phone things i'm in Iceland, when i'm really in Florida lol. Weird as heck bug.
Can somebody please identify what this and how to get rid of it? It doesn't allow any other icons to show unless I pull down the notification bar. It's the icon on the upper left hand corner of the notification bar. It's a grey box with a minus symbol in the middle.

My bad sorry, trailed off halfway through the description so I could insert the image xD It's the icon on the upper left hand corner of the notification bar. It's a grey box with a minus symbol in the middle.
Its a trap!!!
Do you have notifications turned off? Check your toggle in the notification tray.

Pull down the notification bar, scroll right at the top where you have wifi, GPS, sound etc and select "notifications". Your minus sign will go and ordinary notification icons reappear.
Answer after a month and four days? lol
And it has already been answered too!
Methinks thou shouldst stay off ye olde crack good sir.

I keep reading that the gray arrow with the minus or plus sign is "notifications off" but I don't see a toggle to turn it on or off. It's not in the pull down menu, even if I go right or left. Tmobile and others seem to have it, so maybe AT&T doesn't have the toggle? Where is the setting to turn it on or off?

I asked twice and no one helped. They just said it was there, look. Are people just going to ignore me?
edit: it was moved, sorry good sir, but I asked on other forums (international galaxy s 3) and they didn't say anything.
What do you see when you access the notification menu with the toggles ?

Nothing, no notifications. I think it changes when I get one, shows a + instead of a - sign. But I rebooted it and it went away. Not sure why it came up in the first place and not sure how to fix it (besides a reboot)
When I installed the chrome browser and did the login the plus thing happened to me too. And when I pulled down the notification bar I was able to click on the plus arrow and it took me to a password login area. Hope that helps bro.

I know that I get the + icon when I have a crap load of notifications (not enough room to show all icons in the status bar). Not sure about the -. Maybe it wants you to hurry up and clear some notifications?

Has anyone figured how to disable the NFC icon in the shade? It's getting crowded up there.
Thanks

Turn off NFC. ... Seriously, that's it on stock.
You can flash custom ROM and choose the International setup and it'll be gone. There's also a mod to make to hide it from view. But again requires root and deodexed ROM.

I think you knew that already tho, just want to disable the icon? I guess follow what he said ^
I know I can disable NFC. But that is not what I'm looking to do.
I want to keep NFC online while only disabling the appearance of the icon in the shade.
I'm familiar with custom roms and the fact that international versions do not have this icon, however I'm looking to maintain my stock att Os
I currently do have root and am using Xposed framework for system modifications

Okay, then this is going to be your best bet. This is the mod I mentioned. It does not make it completely gone, it only makes it invisible.

so you don't get any space back in the status bar, the NFC symbol is just completely transparent?

Right, no space back in the bar. I hate the icon too. :/ I hope someone comes up with a better solution.
