[SOLVED] What is this symbol in my notification bar?

**EDIT** Figured out what it was! It was from the app "power control plus" which adds toggles to your notification pull down..
Sorry this might seem like a dumb question but, what is this symbol to the left on the top of my notification bar? The circle power looking symbol that the red arrow is obviously pointing to..
That I don't know; would assume it's an app that you've downloaded otherwise it would be on the right side, but can you please tell me how you got your lock screen to look so pretty-ful?
What does it say if you open notifications? For some reason, it makes me think think of a timer or stopwatch.

That is almost identical to the universal power button icon, except with the power icon the line points at 12 o'clock.
I searched on a number of sites with legends of Android notification icons, and could not find this one. When did the icon appear, and what had you installed prior to that?
Looks like you have a timer enabled in the alarms menu.

I have checked stock alarm, Gentle Alarm, and Alarm Clock Extreme.
None have this icon. Maybe the OP downloaded another 3rd party alarm app?
You've turned on the timer for a camera..
Ehhhh wrong... notification toggle... I think. I had to use this on my atrix.
Edit: looks like I was wrong too.. I can't remember what its called but I used to use this app. It had a full set of toggles in the notification bar.

Its not my lockscreen, its my homescreen [:
Dang, nobody knows what it is :[. Its been there but it wasn't noticeable when i was running greyblurs stock theme. Now that i themed over it and the notification bar is now darker, its noticeable and annoying. I really don't like many icons on my notification bar at all -_- SOMEONE HELP PLEASE :]

Found it.
It's Power Control Plus.
Power Control Plus Widget
Jogged my memory when you mentioned toggles ChongoDroid, so I looked through all my TiBu apps, restored a couple, and found it was this one.

OP, next time could you please update with a new post, or edit the subject with [SOLVED]. When you edit the OP it doesn't update and view that there is a new post/edit, so we typically don't look at the OP again. I just noticed I found what your problem was 2 hours after you posted you had fixed it. Could have saved me quite a bit of time if I knew you had resolved your problem. Cheers.

Did you actually try it? There is even another app - notification toggle. But the problem is, that this works just when the OS support it and unfortunately official Dell rom doesn't
I tried Status Bar Settings by Karson. It doesn't work (did not register clicks in notify bar). Even on the market page, the dev recommends Widgetsoid! lol
Widgetsoid has the same problem, it just launches a little app instead of each button being an individual toggle. Not quite CM6+ (from the Notification Toggle market page: "you will get a popup to select the toggle feature if your device doesn't support multiple notification clicks")
Maybe we can petition a dev 'round here to figure out how to shoe horn in "multiple notification clicks".
...and for the record, I have been using Quick Settings on my Streak for quick access to power widgets from the notify tray.

an app wont' bring this functionality.. you need to take apart cm7 or twlauncher to inject the hotbuttons. It is somethign I have looked into a few times without success..
there are dozens of apps that put the buttons in and just open a lame widget....
i have resorted to the wireless settings info popup menu hidden in settings to quickly enable and disable the wireless radios.
The wireless activity Krad mentions is covered here at StreakSmart. I have it as one of the gesture actions on the LauncherPro dock.
You can put one tap toggles in the notification tray but each toggle takes up a line in the tray. Notification Toggle can do this. The status bar switches by friedflow also work well.

Screen on Sound??

I have posted about this exact same question before, so I knew the answer but it's not working this time...
I just loaded Eternity rom on my phone, and the sound that happens when the weather widget has sounds enabled keeps happening. I switched to a different clock widget, didnt work, I removed it entirely, still plays the sound!
I looked through menus to find any kind of start up sound, but can't find any settings. Am I missing something?
Click on the weather part of the clock and hit menu, you should know what to do by then.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I removed it entirely and it still happened. I figured out it was the weather live wall paper. I couldn't see any settings for it, but new background and it's finally gone. Why would anyone POSSIBLY think that was a good idea?? Insanely annoying...
simozeszj pretty much said it, you just have to hit menu in the weather ape and go to the settings. You'll see a toggle for sound effects there.

[Q] Any others with this issue (ringtone/notifications)

Ok.. So I bought the wife the SGS2 as she had been waiting for it since the kid through the captivate in the toilet ;D well i did the root method and then just put cognitions new rom on there.. I do not know if she was having the issue "stock" as I don't know that she put zedge on it and it was working . wife i saying it was happening with stock as well.. anyway.. the issue is.. i set (she sets) the ringtone and notification to something else.. I have tried stock and tones DL"d from zedge and no matter what I change it too.. it continues to just do the default tones.. her notification is that whistle sound and ringtone is the samsung one (i think) default..
any know why they are not changing and any solutions??? also.. she is notificing that no notification sound is being made when something comes in like and email and what not.. any ideas on that?? is there a setting im missing on her phone or somthing for this one?
thanks for any help

Hmm, I'll try to look into this later this week (going out tonight), but I do recall that notification tones for email seem to not work. However I may have just not heard it.
SMS and Google Talk notifications do work normally for me, same for ringtone.
My SMS and email notifications wont change for me either.. I change it in sound menu and still get that annoying "whistle" with every text!!
BTW I'm stock..

Ive noticed that you have to change the notification ringtone on the SMS application separate from the general notification ringtone in settings. Access this by hitting the menu key while in SMS app. I believe email notification tone would be accessed the same way.
This is correct. I did the same thing and now my notification sounds are as customized

This is the same as the Captivate (stock roms) -- you have to be in the application (messaging, email, gmail, etc) and change notification tones there.

This is how it's done.
Wow guys thanks! I will be sure to hit your thanks buttons when I get near a computer

thanks a lot guys..
i did notice this morning I heard her notification message was saying her new one.. however, i noticed that it was only when email was coming in, the text was still the whistle.. so I will go in and try to change as stated above and see how this goes.. again thanks.
this also helps as a friend and his wife still have the captivates and his wife had this same issue and it was "HIGHLY PISSING" her off so much she wants to get rid of it and get one of those ancient "phone" only type phones hehe

edit:
confirmed.. does work. for some odd reason, you go into text/sms app and when you go to settings, sure as s*!t it is set to default as the "whistle" ringtone and not default in which I would think it would default to what ever you set as the standard notification one.. going into gmail and it stocks to default.. so thanks again, working for her now..
Another 'gotcha' for ring tones if you point your ring tones at the internal SD/ external SD and then use usb storage mode to attach those drives, you'll get some sort of weird notification sound that's not any of the normal ones if a notification arrives while it's mounted.

New owner, couple annoyances... solutions?

Any way to make the notification LED function while device is charging? My BB would charge but also show notifications / blinks.
Any way to get an audible beep in the earpiece when new sms/data msg is recieved? BB did this, cannot find the option on this.
Any way to map a button/icon to the notifications box so I don't always have to drag it down?
Well I'm sure you've learned by now there are a few things that are annoying at first when switching from BB to android!
There's a post in XDA started by FlyGuySF -"[Q] EVO 3D LED Notifications while charging?" They reference a post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...48&postcount=1
May or may not work.
I saw on some other forums there is an app in the market called NoLED which might work however I think that just lights up the whole screen.
Other than that I'd just search google til my eyes turned blue! I've learned to live with it tho... I'm addicted to my phone anyway so I'm constantly checking it. Good luck!
In regards to the beep.. I'm not sure on that one. But for notifications, you can either hit the menu button and hit notifications or try an alternate home style. I use go launcher ex which is free and you can customize everything. There's a setting you can enable that you can swipe down pretty much anywhere on the homescreen (not just specifically on the bar) and it will drop your notification menu.
