General :: Samsung Galaxy S3 - Peculiar Icon Appeared In Navigation Bar?
Jul 6, 2012
On my Samsung Galaxy S3, a peculiar icon has appeared in the navigation bar (see the top-left corner in the image below):
It seemed to have appeared at about the time I put in my SD card, but removing my SD card (and restarting) has not shooed the icon away. Furthermore, the icon seems to prevent any other icons being shown (i.e. I am forced to pull down the bar when checking for new notifications).
There is no explanation for the icon in the notification window, and clearing the notifications does nothing.
I tried using Google Goggles on a cropped screenshot of the icon but no images were returned. what the icon represents and how it may be removed?

It is my first time to run cyanogenmod on my phone. I have the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 2 4G and I tried to install the CM 11 of jfbs. I did all the backups and I wiped the data and cache and installed the ROM and Gapps. But I rebooted my device and the Cyanogenmod logo appeared with the spinning arrow and it didn't want to stop spinning (or loading if you want). My phone was stuck on logo and the spinning arrow. I forced the phone to turn off and when I rebooted it I worked but after a little time it went back to the logo and the spinning arrow. I re-installed the ROM and Gapps but like before, the logo and the spinning arrow still there until now and it won't even stop and lead me to the lock screen.

It's on the task bar right next to the sync icon, it's the shape of a cell phone. It wasn't there the past couple of days until this morning, weird.

I'm using Google Voice for my voice mail. A day or so ago the Voice Mail icon appeared on the app tray and won't go away. When I dial the voice mail all I get is my message. Is there anyway to reset/clear this?

Does anyone have a separate Navigation app icon? My Evo did, but my Epic does not. I can go into Maps and hope dearly that my GPS is working and get navigation through there, but I'd really like a separate icon for it. Is this the same with everyone else?

My device is Samsung Galaxy Y. Already i am trying to make my flashable icon pack. I use guide mrallyluz (http:url...). I have icons, custom icon pack, updater script, but i don't know how can i add more icons. I mean, for example, in folder unpack i have folders browser.apk, settings.apk, calendar.apk with custom icons inside these folders, and i want to add more icons to change. So, should i take names apps from system/app and make folder with this name inside res/drawable-ldpi?
Where can i find icon files? With RootExplorer i searched everywhere and no results... :3
Just i want to create more folders in flashicon.zip/unpack because i want to change icons of all apps in my phone

today a strange icon started to show up in the notification area. It has no notification attached to it, restarting the device doesn't make it go away and neither am I aware of any app installed that could have caused this. Due to the resemblance the icon bears to the ICS logo, I thought it might be some system-based event (something like an android anniversary date or whatnot), yet it persisted through GMT midnight, which makes it seems less likely then it did when I found out. I tried an image-based search for any images and screenshots containing the said icon, but came out empty-handed. As Henzman said, it's the new icon of the Power Toggles app.

My sgs comes with Google Maps but I don't have an option to use navigation when I set a route. However when I put a new shortcut on the home screen I get the option of the navigation. But no matter how many times I try, it can't seem to find a route. And I can't find Google Maps on the Market so I can't try upgrading it.

Does anyone know when the 'fix' is coming for our Navigation? I used the "Fix" found out on the internet, and it worked for about half an hour...unfortunately, that left me lost in Arlington VA., and I stood up a date!
I still have 2.1, and every time I check for updates to the firmware through the settings menu on the phone, I just get a message that says "No Firmware".
IS Samsung going to update these things to 2.2? ARE they ever going to fix this useless navigation?

If I get a car cradle is it usable as a sat nav? Using Google maps? I've heard that the GPS is not that great?

Anyone knows how I can get rid of Telenav's GPS Navigation app? I can't find a Telenav.apk file or anything similar. The closest I could find is tn55-android-blur.apk, although everytime I tried deleting this one, it keeps coming back. So, (a) how can I uninstall Telenav's GPS Navigation app? and (b) what is tn55-android-blur.apk?

When I'm using the navigation feature in my galaxy s the screen will turn itself off after some time. The time it takes for the back light to turn off vary each time. The time out setting goes from like 10 seconds to 30 mins, there us no option for never. Is there a way to keep it on? Its very frustrating on long journeys when the screen keeps going off.

I got myself a bluetooth FM transmitter for my work van and tested it out today. For receiving and making calls it worked fine with the audio coming out through the car's speakers. But if I play music or my navigation the audio is coming out through the phones speaker (the one on the back) rather than through the cars speakers. I don't know what setting I've got wrong.

i know there are problems with the GPS on this phone. I have read loads of posts and tried changing various settings but am pinning my hopes on Froyo fixing it or else i will seriously be looking at returning phone as not fit for purpose. I am sorry but i feel that having paid ?380 for something advertised as having GPS, maps, navigation etc that i should be able to have this in a usable fashion. I dont want to be told its a phone, sat nav is a bonus. It was advertised and sold as having sat nav and this should be workable. OK sorry rant over, just trying to head off some of the comments i am sure will be posted, anyway back to the problem.
when i start maps or navigation it shows a small radar looking icon in top left hand corner, indicating it is looking for satellites, yet at other times this does not appear and it shows "Searching for GPS" at bottom of screen. The manual states this icon means GPS activated. When it is not showing does this mean that the GPS has not turned on despite maps or Navigation being chosen. I can drive about for an hour with this message showing but navigation not starting. The strange thing is if i have map on the screen it will show my location moving yet still say searching for GPS, if thats the case then how can it update maps, how does it know where i am. I an really annoyed at the lack of this function (can you tell). Thanks for any insight into this.

Dozens of unknown names and numbers have appeared in my Samsung Captivate's contacts list. The numbers appear to have area codes from my state but with names like Joe Blow Repairman, they must be a fake. My contacts list is sync'ed with Google Gmail but I don't see these numbers on my contacts list when I log into Gmail. Is this a known virus from an App I installed? What should I do?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S, international version, not SIM-locked, not rooted, running Android 2.1-update1. Today I suddenly noticed that my Contacts icon has disappeared from the bottom bar (so I'm not talking about any widgets or shortcuts which the user can manipulate, it's the one which is supposed to sit between the Phone and Messaging icons). The contact data hasn't gone anywhere, I can access contacts through the Phone app, but the missing Contacts icon still bothers me.
I have updated a bunch of apps recently - all of which I have used for a long time before without any problems, such as: Advanced Task Cleaner Pro, Smart Keyboard, Layar, Google Maps, KeePassDroid, Retro Camera and maybe something else too. Today I also erased the trial version of the dictionary app SlovoEd Deluxe and installed the paid version.
Now, should I try to erase the (free) apps one by one to see if that solves the problem, or do I have to go for a hard reset/return to factory settings straight away?

Got a replacement Droid Incredible the other day and I've been working on getting it set up like my previous phone, with the exception of random restarts.Anyway, I updated Google Maps and for some reason I'm not getting the Navigation app icon like I used to.

I'm a long time Nokia user and got my first android phone two weeks ago and there are still some learning to do in order to know how to use it properly. Today I accidentally removed one of the short keys from the home screen and I'm not able to get it back to it's place. To be more exact, it is the messaging short key which is located on the bottom bar of the screen. The other ones (Phone, Contacts & Applications) are still the, but when I'm trying to return the messaging icon back to the bottom bar, I always end up with the trash can over the area where I'm supposed to place the icon.What can I do, How do I get the icon back on the home screen?

I have had an EKEN T02 tablet for one year now. For almost one month every time I switch it on there is a straight line running through my screen.
Sometimes it is green and thinner and sometimes it is grey and thick. As my screen keeps working it gradually fades away but it never disappears.

This problem happened few hours before i rooted my pad. Well the problem is a vertical green line that appeared in my screen and dont go off. I tried to use stuck pixel solutions and a factory reset (I didn't tried to put back in stock rom, I don't know how to do that).
The line is very perceptive on a pink background, but completely hide by a green background.
