Strange icon on notification bar - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hey guys there's been a strange icon in my notification bar that's bugging me a lot I don't know what it is can someone identify what it is?
Is right next to the network name.
It's a circle and a plus sign inside it

Screenshot?

A screenshot will be good.
Although, I suspect it's RCS?

Is Wi-Fi calling enabled? My Wi-Fi icon added a circle with a plus when I enabled it.

It's the data saver indicator. It can be disabled in the mobile data menu in settings.

No it is not a screenshot sign and I can't screenshot it to show you since I'm a new member I can't have links
I'm going to Samsung to see what it is

I see you have edited your original post.
Someone else answered your question. It is the Data Saver feature.

Strange Icon / Circular Bar with plus sign
It is a Data Saver Icon
You can disable/enable it by going to setting > connection > data usage > data saver and click the botton...
This will enable or disable to save data or to restrict data on background of those apps that use data while they are not in use... thanks hope it will help you

Missing toggles in notification bar (Android 7.1.1)?

Hi y'all !
I just bought Nokia 6 last night and notice that there are some toggles missing in the notification bar which are available in my other phone running Android 7.0.
Such as the screenshot toggle, Volume toggle, sound profile toggle and so more, they are obviously not in the "Drag to add tiles". I hope Nokia didn't remove them.
Also, how i can make the battery percentage indicator appear next to the battery icon instead of inside the battery icon?
If you enabled System UI Tuner you can enable battery percentage.
To turn on Sytem UI Tuner, you need to press the little cog symbol in the corner of the toggle window until ut rotates. After that you find the system ui tuner menu in the bottom of the settings menu. And there under status bar you can enable battery percentage. As far as the other tiles are concerned, I don't know uf they are part of the rom.

thanks for the reply. But by turning on Sytem UI Tuner, i can only enable the battery percentage indicator INSIDE the battery icon which is too small to see...

Yeah, I know, sorry. But until some devs come along and actually start developing ROMs and stuff for this thing that's all we can get for now I assume.
By the way, the Gallery app is also missing from Nokia 6, Google photo is standard default photo viewing app now?

missing a lot of tiles bother me too, but there are apps out there that can add tiles, so it's not much a big problem.

the more i look at it, the more missing features i find. I just came across a review about this phone on YouTube, strangely enough there are some settings from the video are not available on my phone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmj17fDxuYk
The missing settings i was talking about are at 3:03 and at 3:42 in the video.
Yup no Gallery app in this one. I don't like google fotos either, so I disabled it and installed Quick Pic instead. It's a good app.
Hello! Help with the decision, please!
I bought a Nokia 6 in China, the version was 7.0, and the function updated the update 7.1.1 and tried to install it via Recovery from the SD card, at the last stage received an error message. Now the phone is downloaded only in Recovery, and then the download is not. What can you recommend? How to restore the phone? What is the version of the firmware?
Well, adb sideload works on the phone. But I don't know any place to download Roms or OTA files.

the one in the video is the first release version (TA-1000, china exclusive i think). the launcher app is different from the Taiwan release version(TA-1003).
TA-1003's launcher app is a modified version of launcher3, while TA-1000's looks like it's called launcher+(at 3:08 in the video you linked.)

It works. It's a metered usage. So would like to quickly disable it when not needed.
Pull down the screen half way down next to the settings icon you'll see 3 dots click and go to edit you can add it from there

What does a triangle icon with two arrows mean?

Hi all,
I have tried searching Google, but can't find what this icon means, does anyone know? It's in the top right of my top bar.

Looks like a data saver icon to me. That's just a guess. Do you have data saver enabled?
Data saver is a 3/4 circle with a plus sign in it.
Background data is disabled.
I think new data saver icon for oreo
I got the same icon and after searching in setting found that if i ON data saving then it appears and if i OFF it then it disappeared so it indicate the data saving is on, its appearing after updating to oreo in S8 Plus
hi,
i have same icon and try to find the location to switch it off.
can somebody tell me where to do it?
i'm on S8 with Oreo CRAP.
thanks!

It's Data Saver
Go to settings... Go to connections... Go to Data Usage... Tap on Data Saver and turn it off. That's it.
Its data saver! I really miss the icon on the controls panel (notification panel) can you help me get it there with an app or something? I had it on LG g6 before, cant find it on the s8 (my phone isn't rooted)
Pull down to view icons
Hold down for a couple of seconds 'only' on the writing saying (mobile data) "not the icon itself!
Turn off data saver.
Triangle will go off.
However when you read about it like I did leaving it on is actualy useful.
Yes it's data saver even on an s9
This icon is because of data saver option when u enable it go to setting _ connection _ data usage _data saver just click data saver if u switch it ON the icon will appear
What I'd like to know is why some of us have a green Avatar while others have a yellow one
I googled "xda legend" and it came back with a forum for some device named legend.
Googled xda icon legend and it told me about chainfire retiring.
Gracious goodness!
Excellent

You've enabled Data Saver. That's what that icon is for.
Your data saver is on, turn it off.
