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.

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

Hi all,
Just updated my SIII with the OTA update (Android 4.0.4) and I now have a random icon on the status bar I can't get rid of? (See image)
The icon is in the top left of the screen (Looks like an Info sign crossed out?)
Galaxy S III Screenshot
I've looked in the manual but there is nothing written about this icon? Anybody have a clue what it is? Or how to get rid of it?
Thanks,
Matt
It just means you have notifications turned off (they changed the icon to match the one you turn it on with in the notifications drop-down and hence it's not in the manual)
Only way to remove it is switch notification back on.

Thank you very much for that! :laugh:
No worries, I only know because the old icon did my nut in for the same reason (couldn't figure out what the hell it was!)
I also have an icon sticking there but mine is a grey square inside which there is a minus. I find it so annoying! Is there a way to remove it? What does it even mean?
dasistsparta, that actually sounds like the old icon for notifications (assume you haven't updated your firmware to XXBLFB yet)
Try turning notifications on and see if it goes away.

Turning notifications back on removes that icon. Thanks!
Hello good people
I have a strange new icon in my status bar on my samsung galaxy s III nordic version,
since i cant post any pictures yet i`ll try to explain how it looks,
It`s to the top left, a grey square that have a pointy side to the left, and in the box, there is a black line
I have uninstalled all the apps that might put icons there but no luck even finding out what it is, I have searched through different forums, but can`t find out what it is for.
Would love some help?
It is not clickable?

I have the exact same icon on my Samsung Galaxy Note w/ ICS. I do not have a "Notifications" toggle, nor can I see where any of my notifications have been turned off.
Thoughts for me?

Ask in note forum?
Lately I've been trying to clear out my statusbar and there's an icon that looks like a location something-or-other.
It's just a plain target, no lines around it or anything.
What is it? Can I get rid of the notification?
Also, what would be the best third-party status bar replacement?
It's hard to say with any certainty without a picture of the icon but it sounds like the GPS locked-on icon. If it's stuck a reboot usually clears it.
I don't know of any status bar replacements.

Just turn your GPS off in your Settings.
Hey guys, two questions. One, why do I have so many status icons on the right side of the status bar, and how do I get rid of them. And two. Can anyone tell me what the icon is between the GPS location and vibrate icon. I can't find the meaning anywhere. Thanks

Hmmm
You can get rid of the most icons but not all.
Lets start from the left side of the notification bar.
1. Saver- You can turn off the saver and the icon will go.
2. then You have taken a screenshot , so You clear it by pulling down the notification bar and clearing it.
3. then You are using facebook messenger the would remain their or simply drag down Your chat and the icon would go (Your chat would go)
4. You can turn off Your location services and the pointer icon will go.
5. You can turn off You NFC when not needed and its icon will also go
6. And among the rest , You cant get rid of the profile icon nor the signals but yes You can turn off the battery percentage ( but percentage really helps).
I guess i didnt help You much
sorry
This was a lot of help! Why would I need NFC on anyway?
