I've searched this site and couldn't find anything about this. If I missed it, I apologize.
So, I've had my Sony Xperia X10 since December 2010.
Recently, about 2 weeks or so ago, a new logo has appeared on my status bar. It's not on the notification bar (the left side), it's on the status bar (the right side). The logo is a dual spinning arrow. The one that appears on the notification bar is 2 spinning arrows in a circle that are kinda vertical. The new logo i'm getting is of 2 noticably fatter spinning arrows, making a slight bigger circle where the arrows are going horizontally, not vertically.
When this new logo shows up, I can not send/recieve texts, nor connect the the Market or the Broswer. I haven't tried making calls, but I have never received a call while that logo is active.
It comes up randomally from time to time, and it's completely annoying. As I usually notice it when I'm at work or out and about, and I don't know exactly when it appeared or how, so I don't know if i've missed any texts or calls. When the logo is no longer there, then all of the texts that I missed during the time it was active all appear at once, with the current time stamp. I've responded to them, only to find that they were sent hours earlier, but I didn't recieve them until after that logo went away.
In order to get rid of the logo I've first tried checking all of my settings and apps and what not but with no luck. I've gone online to look it up but found nothing. So I've been turning the phone on and off. But it doesn't always work, and rarely works the first 3 or 4 times. I have to turn it off, and then back on, and when it comes back on, within 30 secs of fully booting up, it just reappears out of no where. I then shut it off again, and back on. and then, about 3 or 4 times later, it doesn't turn on, finally. Other times, I have to take the battery out, and then put it back in, and every time i've done that, it hasn't come back on when it rebooted. it's weird like that.
I've tried looking up this logo to see what it is, but I have found nothing on this logo. I've found the thinner vertical spinning arrows in the notification bar on many websites. But I have not found one thing on the thicker horizontal spinning arrows on the status bar. Even the official list of icons doesn't show it listed either.
It really sucks that it randomally appears out of the blue from time to time. Not every day. sometimes every other day, or every couple of days. but I never know exactly when it happens. it just appears. usually when its in my pocket or sometimes when it's charging, but always when i'm not paying attention to the phone. so i don't know when it starts, how long its been active, or how it starts. But I would like it to stop, only, I don't know how to do that.
I've found lots of answer to things for phones on this site, but have never felt the need to create an account or post anything, as i've always just looked and looked and found what i needed to know. But this time, i can't find anything anywhere. Again, if i overlooked it on this site, i apologize. But I coudln't find it.
Does anybody have a clue as to what this logo means or does. Again, it's not on the left side of the top bar, it's on the right side, and its bigger than the left side logo, and is spinning horizontally, not vertically.
After looking it up online, and checking settings and apps, and everything, to no avail, I got some antivirus apps, but they've all found nothing. So i'm stumped as to what this could be.
Is there anybody out there who could help or possibly know anything about this. My phone is ok for the moment, but it did happen earlier today, and I know it'll happen again soon.
Thanks in advance.
The spinning arrows is the phone syncing with account on the phone. Check the sync settings

Lol....
You have set up an account, either google, facebook or twitter.
Your phone will sync from time to time so that you get updated.
The spinning arrows are just that and are a completely normal function of the phone.
I would only worry if you have not signed up for any accounts (Including logging onto the market, because that uses a google account)
If you are still worried go to
setting
accounts and sync
and disable it
Hope this helps
It definitely is not the syncing. The syncing icon is a little different. Also, as I've stated, I've already checked those settings, among others. I've had both the syncing on at the same time as this new icon was on, and there is clearly two different icons, one stating the syncing status, the other nothing. I've disabled the syncing before, and that logo goes away, but not this new icon, which seems to disable any and all network activity. But I know it has nothing to do with the syncing, as that works fine and is controllable.
But thanks tho. Anything else it could be.
Is your phone rooted, if so , find an app in the market that can take a photo of your phone screen. Then we can see what the symbol is.
Look up the app shootme if your phone is rooted. And post the pic. This can help us solve your problem.

nope, sorry, its not rooted. I've never tried to root it. Tho I did update it awhile back. Long before this new thing started. It's always worked great before this. Like I said, it's only recently started doing this, like in the past 2 weeks or so. I have not added any new apps or games or anything in over a month either.
I doubt this helps, but heres some info on my phone.

Do you have auto software update checked. I can only think of that if its not the sync. icon. Use android SDK to take a screen shot if its not rooted.
I have just tried to disable half the bloat wear on my galaxy s, and i must have frozen something that i shouldn't have and now my screen isnt working properly. I have the top status bar with the service bars and the battery meter and when the phones screen lock is on it all looks normal but when i unlock the phione the whole screen goes black and only the status bar is able to be seen. I cant access the menu or any apps at all. I have tried to get into download mode to add different firmware but i cant get into download mode or recovery mode in any of the ways that i have researched. I can still recieve emails and texts and voicemail but i cant reply as i keep getting this error every time i try to do anything: Andriod.Process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Does anybody have any idea how i might be able to fix this problem. I have tried to connect to andriod explorer but it wont recognize my phone the same thing with Kies. If anybody has any ideas as to how i might be able to fix this that would be greatly appreciated.
Is there no reboot button holding sequence that will enable you to enter recovery?

I was able to get into recovery mode a couple of times yesterday but now i cant seem to get into recovery for some reason. i have tried all to combos that i can around but cant seem to get into recovery mode at all my phone just keeps turning itself of instead. I could just be doing it work but i have no idea anymore.
hi all !
just a quick post for a few little questions i have, and havnt seen answer for in the forum. ive had my s3 for a little over 2 weeks, and have noticed a few minor issues which i havnt been able to fix,
firstly, i cannot work out how to get the address bar back on the browser, but only on the facebook mobile site, i have to scroll all the way to the top, where as other site the address bar remains there the whole time.
also i cannot save photos from the facebook site, but can other sites.
secondly , if the screen is off and i plug in the charger, the screen comes on and stays on, unless i press the power button, whereas with any other phone i have had, the screen just turns itself off after about 5 seconds. note this only happens when charging any othertime it turns itself off
edit : also wifi dropout on wpa/psk2 (bt home hub) wifif drops out, but comes back almost instantaniously, , have tried the powersave mode as suggested by others *0011# but to no avail,
and last but not least, i rooted my phone but unrooted it to update it, but it wont update comes up with some sort of signature verification failure, with OTA update, im going to try a usb update later though
thats about it for now, any help will be much appreciated

I have the same problem and this is so annoying because the cellphone charge is so slow too. I installed many xiaomi controllers in my computer, but that didn't solve the problem. So i search and i found this video "w w w . youtube.com/watch?v=_TUH0P-mCzU" This video is in Spanish. In the video explained that the problem can be for a "bad energy" in the cellphone. So, in this moment my cellphone is turn off inside an antistatic cover. I hope that can be useful. Try to do the same, and you can tell me later if you cellphone is OK.
I know this is probably an easy fix but i cant find the USB options anywhere, or find any way to reverse the accidental tap on my phone. I was on a road trip and during the Dex install on my windows tablet while in the car, accidentally tapped the Deny connection on my phone. Now it wont connect to my main PC either for Dex and seems to be stuck in Charge Mode only for USB and the Developer options dont seem to have an effect. I dont have the drop down options in the main notifications tab anymore, i think one of the more recent updates killed those options.
Quick edit for clarification: I cant access any files over USB currently through windows, cant access Dex, or anything. Just charge.
Id like to back up all my current stuff before my new phone arrives so getting a data connection is pretty important...
