My first GS3 I noticed the carrier name would randomly disappear and reappear....turns out it needed to be replaced due to not receiving mms messages. It also had a dot smack dab in the middle of the indicator LED. In any case, I exchanged it and this one does the same thing. Does yours do it too? Im on AT&T by the way. The phone works fine, its just an observation.

nope. my AT&T logo is ALWAYS on the top left. super annoying. i hate it there and want to get rid of it.
Mine seems to show up only when I pull down the task bar. When the task bar is hidden, all I see are the notifications and the juice defender icon.
Same here. I am on Sprint.

**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.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
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.
Attached is a screenshot. Everytime I check notifications a weird rando number shows up in upper left corner. Weird characters show up instead of times on text messages as well. Anyone else have this issue?
Looks like an app you installed is causing that. Def a battery app. Your battery meter in the notification bar is showing the percent left of the battery which is not stock. Try checking the settings of the app you installed.

I agree. Probably that battery widget app. I would try to uninstall and see if that stops it. Then reinstall.
I have the same one I believe, and it is working fine.
I can't for the life of me figure out how you get the "notifications" and "quick settings" options at the bottom of your dropped down notification bar. How did you do that?

looks like the OP is rooted and he was able to change that setting. looks like hes rooted because his sprint GPS circle is MIA. i hate that damn circle!
Rooted with venom. I'll try uninstalling battery widget

Battery widget wasnt the culprit
Check your DEVELOPER settings. I think there's an option in there that superimposes some info onto the screen.
Can someone advise what this I have in the top left hand corner. There is nothing in my notification bar when I pull it dowb.

I'm not 100% sure what it's for, however I've noticed that it appears everytime I turn 'Notification' off in the drop down drawer, it may just be a notification to tell you that you've turned notifications off..
I have the same problem...how do I re enable notifications?
Ps nevermind I'm being a noob ...duh drop down button lol

I had that icon come up when I was roaming. sorry can't remember exactly what I did to get rid of it...
**EDIT***
just remembered! It was when I turned notifications off. Try switching Notifications back on. should fix it.
From the Drop Down, Choose Notification
-slide down the status bar
-find the notification toggle
-be sure it is activated (toggle should be green)
-done!
I too had your problem, I thought I could upgrade my phone lol sadly I was mistaken.
I do think that the icon could have been of a better design and as such more understandable.

As you can see in the screenshot, my "Ringtone & Notifications" options are grayed out. It doesn't make any sound when I receive texts, and this is a problem.
Other issues: How to remove the two battery indicators in the notifications in the status bar? And what is the little leaf icon in the status bar? And the white chat bubble with the check mark? And the black first aid cross in the white arrow? Also, even though my default messaging app is Messaging, my text message notifications always send me to the AT&T messages app.
I'm thinking it's because you're in the" silent" sound profile. Try it from normal?

Nope, I'm in the "Sound" profile.
No idea then. I was going by the screenshot you posted which clearly shows you're in silent.
Also, leaf is eco mode - power saving. The black cross icon in the left facing tag is telling you that you have more notifications. If you drag down from the top of the screen, you should see all your notifications.

You're right..the screenshot does show that. I just looked at my phone again, and the silent icon is not there. I pulled up settings, and those options are on longer grayed out. Very, very weird considering that just before taking the screenshot, I held down the power button to see the "Power off, Power off and restart, Turn on Airplane Mode, Silent, Vibrate, and Sound" menu and made sure Sound was selected.
I figured out that the leaf is Eco Mode (not active, as the phone is above 50%), but I still don't know about the first aid, checkmark chat, or double battery.
Well the 'first aid' icon isn't actually first aid. It means that more things are listed than your status bar has space for. Have you downloaded anything strange onto your phone? I've never seen the double battery before, or the checked chat bubble.

TBH, I'm so much of a tinkerer and so new to Android, that I'm sure I've installed at least five strange things. I think my best option at this point is to wait for an AOSP ROM without any of the AT&T bloat to come out, backup my apps with Titanium Backup, and flash the debloated ROM. It'll be easier for me to pick through what is installed and narrow down these issues.
It was Llama! Doh..hadn't looked at that in over a week. I guess I had set it to be silent whenever I'm at work. That explains why I'd always raise the volume only to find that it's back on silent again!
