Unknown notification icon - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hello. Am having a phone icon on the top right on the right of the bluetooth and left of the wifi. The phone icon has 3 semicircles like a wifi symbol on top. I don't know what it is and how to get rid of it.
Could you please advise?
Thank you!

Try turning wifi calling off and see if that is it

yeah did that but nothing happens. i thought that this might be it but had no luck.

My guess is that it's a VoLTE icon

who is your carrier?

On orange romania

It is Orange Romania

It's the Volte symbol as mentioned by se1000. You can switch it off in mobile networks. Thanks again !

triangle icon on top menu area of qtek 9100

there is a triangle icon on top menu area of qtek 9100, to the left of the GPRS symbol. It is not listed in the manual.......cant seem to figure out what it means. Also is there some download/diagram for what the actual locations of symbols are when typing.........obviously because the keyboard is not meant for american keyboard layout....it would be helpful.
Thanks
the triange ususallu means youre on a roaming network (ie abroad) instead of the 'home' network
triangle.....
but i am not abroad.....I am still in the states.
You don't have to necessarity be abroad. You are just connected to a different network other than your main one.
I had the same on mine when associated to WIFI AP, but with no IP provided (broken DHCP)
How do i figure out exactly what network i'm on when the Roaming indicator is there? for example i was driving up to houston the other day and the triangle came up, so i clicked on it, didn't say anything. then i pressed call to see the keypad and it still said cingular on the top. so how am i roaming if still connected to cingular?

That's the operator logo on the call keypad , is just an image
To see on wfhat network you're on tap once the signal indicator
I'm using the Qtek 9100 on T-Mobile's U.S. network, and it always shows the roaming indicator. If you look in the Cingular 8125's extended ROM, you'll find a cab which appears to disable the roaming indicator.
The registry key to disable the indicator permanently is HKLM/drivers/BuiltIn/RIL/DisableRoamingIndicator and set the dword value to 1.

Remove Roaming Icon?

is there a registry tweak to remove the roaming icon on my TyTN?
the registry hack from my Wizard does not work on the TyTN...
I am using the TyTN on Cingular in the US (Hawaii), and the roaming icon is constantly on even though I am on my home network. I did not get the roaming icon on my old Wizard, but I get it on the TyTN. Maybe this is because I am using the old AT&T Wireless towers...
any help on how to get rid of the icon? :?:
Hi,
What is the roaming icon, something similar to a radio tower?
I think I newer saw it...
It's your wifi trying to connect...
It disappears when your gprs is searching or online.
When you don't start an internet connection but only activate your wifi then you'll see it appear...
the roaming icon is a solid triangle that appears to the left of the GPRS (or UMTS) icon. page 23 of the manual also describes it as a roaming icon.
i got it once or twice on my qtek 9100 when i actually WAS roaming, but my TyTN displays it ALL the time
ok, I understand.
Did you check your "Phone settings" especially the "Range" tab (I'm not sure of the english word, it's after the newtork tab) ?

I have the same issue with my TyTN in San Diego
Possible fix
I had the roaming indicator on all the time on my wizard. Was able to turn it off with the following reg change:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
DisableRoamingIndicator
Change value to 1
Try this might work for tytn..... still waiting for mine to arrive

I tried this reg hack as soon as I got my TyTN, but it does not work. I don't know why they changed it...
I don't think just make the roaming indicator disable is the right solution. The device thinks its in roaming mode the because of that all roaming rule apply like Over the Air Sync schedule and so on.
I contacted HTC support but still didn't got reply[/quote]
Any News On This One...?
I'm having the same problem--I'm on Cingular in Seattle. I've tried the registry hack and it doesn't work, the roaming triangle never goes away. I'm assuming this isn't a problem as I'm clearly in my home area, but it would be nice to know what to do to it to make it go away.
T-Mobile (US) vs. Cingular SIM
So I popped a friends T-Mobile (US) SIM into my TyTN and I don't get the roaming triangle like I do with my Cingular 3G SIM. So I'm wondering if the issue with the roaming triangle is with the SIM, or something that can actually be changed in the phone (like the previous reg hack that worked on the Wizard).
I've looked everywhere in the registry, tried changing some of the settings in the "OperatorNames" key and also the stuff in \HKLM\System\State\Phone but no luck yet.
Does anyone know if this behavior is phone/reg based or SIM based?
I wonder if it has to do with Cingular's (in the process of converging) blue and orange towers.
Well i'm in Toronto, and everyone seems to be in different places that this is happening to, so i don't believe its a "carrier" or provider problem. thats my theory... also.. i tried the hack above the LM/drives/Built itn/RIL but cannot see any options in the reg that even suggest hint at disabling the roaming icon.
This sux. I can't believe HTC customer support is as bad as it is.
How can we get to the bottom of this?
I have upgraded to the most recent HTC TyTN ROM (1.35) and the roaming icon is now gone. The new radio ROM (1.18) appears to have fixed this issue.
It is difficult to understand, why it is a “problematic issue". Basically, Roaming triangle appears to facilitate you, that you’re not roaming in your Home PLMN (Own Operator NW). It means you’re visitor in an other GSM Network (VPLMN) and you are registered as Roamer . This is nice to know with Roaming triangle if Roaming charges applied OR NOT.
I get the roaming icon everytime I install a ROM that is a non-Cingular ROM. My phone is an JasJam, when I first turned it on I had a roaming symbol, calls to imate and Cingular were unsuccessful. Installed a newer Cingular ROM (1.34) and the triangle went away, then I installed an HTC ROM (1.35) and symbol was back, then I installed Cingular's 2.06 and it was gone, radio v1.33.
Now I've installed WM6 Vanilla which keeps whatever radio you were using before and the symbol is back.
I'm convinced it has something to do with the OS talking with the SIM so there has to be a regedit somewhere to correct this. I really hate having this thing warn everytime I initiate a OTA Sync. Don't let this issue die its still out there.

Not a problem if it is a true indication. But it is misleading when you are registered on your own network.
Seems I got same problem in Hong Kong.....previouly me using Vodafone 2G service....now changed to Hong Kong 3 2G/2.5G(i-mode) service...I can connect to 3(2G) network but a roaming icon keeps showing all the time.....I am bit nervous the roaming charge now T_T
And I am using Dopod818Pro in Hong Kong
was there ever a resolution for this?
Remove roaming triangle... Solved.
I had the same issue with the roaming triangle... I'm not sure where I found this but it works perfect for me. I use Task Manager (http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm) to import it to my registry, then I just restart the phone and the roaming indicator is gone.
Good luck to you and vote Ron Paul!

What is the triangle next to GPRS icon?

Im curious. I get this triangle next to the GPRS icon occasionally. Clicking on it does nothing, and it seems random (although its probably not). What is this sign and what does it mean?
Thanks
CeRR
i believe this icon signals, that you are roaming (using some other network, not your own) ...
Ya, that triangle is only visible when on roaming. Its a roaming indicator.
Ahhhh Thanks
Makes good sense as the network I'm on is currently piggybacking of two others while they expand their footprint. Thanks alot
I have the roaming icon all the time even in my own city ( Hong Kong) , guess because the default country of the rom is US, can I do anything to get rib of it?

[offtopic]You also could consider better title for your topic.[/offtopic]
About your problem, there should be nothing special to use internet with 3G.
Like "Saunalahti" users maybe you should tick "roaming" on in the settings menu.
plz check and reply
i have installed aurora 2.10 and also with new kernel test 2.10.
i have always two problam
one problam with 3g sim
but i couldn't understand yet why my 3g sim is not connecting with internet
i have already checked all options.
Second problam in 2g sim
It does not give service provier name "no service" on status bar.
signal bar colour always white when i connect wifi then signal bar colour is changed into the gray colour.but my main issue is 3g sim which not running internet and rebooting again and again while setting.

the best thing for you to do right now is to first check the sim on any other handset . it would just take few minutes . i am saying this because your problem is pretty weird and i think problem is without your sim . have u tried any other rom ?
didn't work yet
yes i have already checked official it's also show same problem,and
Sim is working also in usb stick.
Can you explain about apns setting?
Another hint is the APN settings. I recall I have 1 SIM which is only data and can be used in 3G USB provided by carrier. But when I put this "data-sim" into my U8800, it doesn't work, tho it recogonizes the carrier name but not able to connect to the internet at all.
It turns out I have to rename the APN to another one if you use a 3rd party 3G internet device. Hope this helps...

[Q] after new update

Hello everyone,
So I update my phone through kies last night (im not rooted). everything is running great. Just curious if anyone else out there is seeing the same thing I am. I was connected to wifi at my house and saw that I had the wifi symbol and 4g symbol both on the notification bar. the 4g symbol was greyed out tho.
thanks

It's a new "feature" in 4.4.2, once you disconnect from WiFi your 4G symbol won't be grey.
