Can anyone help with this. I did a Google search and looked in teh phone where the icon description list is and there is no info on this.
On the notification bar there is a new icon i have never seen. It is to the left of the 4G and is like GPS but it's not a circle but more of a diamond shape with curved signal bars going towards the right, at the 4G icon. I feel kinda silly but since nothing I've changed in the settings anywhere has turned it off.
Thanks
Eric
It's gps/location services (not just standalone). The bars can be removed by turning off location services but the icon itself remains from what I've seen. Probably icon represents at least e911?

Hey thanks. It reminded me of GPS but looked different. So non-GPS but standard Location Services will keep that on? Too bad, it just clutters the notification bar.
Yeah i tested it out and the icon does stay but the signal bars go away if you turn off location services totally off. Bummer. I see that as something to maybe fix in the custom roms.

What are the meanings for the 3G/4G status bar icon colors changing from gray to blue? Mine seem to stay gray today and will not turn blue like it has been previously. If you have a good explaination I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
Edit:
I figured out the difference in the 3G/4G status bar icon colors. Blue is when background data is enabled and gray is when background data is disabled. (you will also see gray 3G/4G icons for a few seconds while your phone switches between 3G and 4G)
To change this setting go to... Settings: Battery and data manager: Data delivery
Check or unchecked the box accordingly. We learn something everyday.
I come from the Heroland and that usually means that you aren't logged into your gmail account or no internet connection. Just my 0.02 cents!

Gray from what I can tell is no active data connection.. It's trying to connect but not.. I see it when going from 3g to 4G and the reverse

When it's blue then your phone has a connection to google's servers (ie. your gmail account) and gray means that it doesnt have any connection to google's servers.
Thanks for the answers guys. I'm only getting gray 3G and 4G icons now. Not sure why but my data speeds are back to crap again also. Maybe I turned off "background data" so I'm about to check.
I am having trouble finding out what the "circled dot" icon next to the battery icon means. It is a large dot with a circle around it. I think I noticed it once before today, but I am now seeing it a lot for about the last hour. Is it related to the no cell strength I had? I'm not seeing the circled dot now that there is cell connection. Microsoft's WP7 page explains all the various icons, but not for WP8. This appears new. Don't see anything in the manual or thru search.

Thanks. That appears to be it. Using apps that access location causes the icon to appear. But I wasn't using any of these kind of apps, I believe, when I noticed it today. Just turning the device on, I would see the icon on the lockscreen. Perhaps it was Weather app live tile or other background process. Also I don't normally leave wifi / data on, so that might explain why I don't usually see it.
Weather app live tile will do that as it updates weather info for your current location.

What's the dot with the two brackets around it? I see it under my music controls.

I've turned off all of the location services in settings, but my notification bar still has an icon that looks like the GPS is still on. It's a circle with a cross in it and arrows at the cardinal directions. I've even turned GPS off using the power control widget, but it's still there. Anyone know what this and how to get rid of it?

That is the GPS icon and unless you are unlocked you cannot get rid of it (that I know of).
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?

I'm currently using 2 sims on the dual sim model, and there are 2 signal strength indicators in the status bar to the left of the notch. That leaves practically no room for actual notifications, so I'm wondering if there's a way to hide the signal strength indicator for both carriers I'm on? I've tried using SYSTEMUI Tuner but none of the toggles would hide any of the indicators.
Silly question but did you restart your device after using system ui tuner?
Not a silly question at all, in fact I and not restarted the device after flipping the toggles but in my defence, it was because I could see other indicators appear and disappear in real time so I didn't think it was necessary. Nonetheless I did try to restart after turning off a few items that seem to relate to signal strength but still no dice. Thanks for the suggestion though!
I am having the same issue, looks like you can only have one notification for the dual sim version. I assume the only solution is to use the number of notifications option rather than the icon, given that only one icon will appear at a time. For example, I set up call forwarding and despite having several notifications, only the CF icon appears in the bar. If you add Network Speed then none will.
