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.
I have the same settings as before, I think it appeared after an updates. I am running the Oreo beta.

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

Few questions which I couldn't find using the search option
1-When I turn the phone to landscape and vice versa, the screen blurs just before auto rotating, is this a feature?
2-How can I see the battery percentage e.g 90% on top bar rather then that tiny battery icon?
Thanks a bunch!

I know it's an animation, but the texts and the whole screen blurs out for a second before auto rotating. Can you check it on your phone?
Yes, my second option was downloading battery app, but seems like Android settings only show tiny battery icon.
Thanks for the reply, appreciate it

Yes, it's supposed to blur out before rotating. And the HTC Desire isn't like that.
Download BatteryTime Lite and configure the widget to notification bar. Then you'll have it.
Thanks for speedy replies. You guys rock! is their any option or code to check call life timer? every phone has it
not that I know of buddy
Call life timer? Is that another power option? If so then battery time lite will tell you that amongst other bits of other information.

How is that done? The only option I can see in the settings is to pick your phone model....I'm new to android so I might be overlooking something obvious
Download it from the market mate, then long-press on a blank area of the homescreen > widgets > Batterytime Lite
Connect to the internet using WiFi or 3G. There's a gray bar with a small white triangle pointing upwards at the bottom of your screen, drag it up and you'll see a list of applications (apps for short). Now look for an app called "Market", tap that.
When it opens up, you'll see things to download, initially categorised by Paid Apps (which you have to pay of course) and Free Apps. If you look at the top-right corner of the screen, you should see a magnifying glass, tap that. Here you can search for BatteryTime Lite. You can just search for "Battery" and it'll give you loads more options.
Tap the ones you are interested in, you'll then see a button to install or buy at the bottom. Try the free ones first. To uninstall I usually go back to Market, select the "Downloads" button (same row as "Paid Apps" and "Free Apps" button when you have just loaded up Market), then tap your installed App, and you'll have the Uninstall button.
This is just one of the simpler way to uninstall, there are other ways though.
Hope that helps.
Tons of apps you can try for free, have fun.
Cheers - i'm fine with downloading, uninstalling & putting widgets on the home screen but is there a way of placing battery time lite onto the actual notification bar?
Not sure about BatteryTime Lite, but Battery Status has the option to place a battery indicator icon on the Notification Bar.
I've been thinking about this... and having had my handset for 2 weeks now.. and having had the same problems with the battery not last a full working day (if I leave for work at 6am and don't get back till 6..) I, like probably many of us.. became quite obsessed with it.. and wanted to know how many percent the battery had dropped during each half hour... we don't need to know this... we really don't.. all we really care about is.. will my phone still have juice in it when I get home at the end of the day.. and if you want to monitor the phones usage, install juice plotter.. then review it's data at the end of the day.. try it when your spending the day at home and don't need to worry about it running out.. I did that today..
Let the battery run flat over night and charged it this morning..
full charge at 1130 this morning.
9.5 hours later... 76% remaining... after some moderate use throughout the day..
I will become less obsessed when I don't have an issue any more.!!
ditto the recommendation for Battery Status Pro - it's free and works like a charm
As title says..
Even if I remove the checkmark within settings, it the checkmark returns as soon as I reenter settings. Now I dont think it really is turned on since I dont see the notifier in the status bar nor can I browse websites. My mobile usage isnt increasing as well.
Now I noticed that in the notification panel, my icon for mobile data is slightly faded. I cannot turn it back to completely gray like the other features I have turned off. Screenshot attached.
Bump. Anybody??
First thing I noticed after update is changed lockscreen
Now, on the bottom of the lockscreen, three icons used to be "dialer", "unlock", "camera", but now there are "microphone" on the left where the "dialer" app is used to be.
Is there any way I get "dialer" app back on the lockscreen?
Also I cannot swype left or right on the lockscreen to run dialer or camera, I need to touch the icons and swipe then.

This might half-work:
Shortcut Lock Screen Mod [MM]
I say "half-work" because I don't use it myself and it doesn't mention the swipe part, just replacing the icons.
GravityBox also has the ability to add custom icons (they'll show up under the clock).
settings>>all apps>> top gear icon>> default>> assist and voice>> assist--NONE
and dialer is back.

Thank you very much, that works perfectly !
Although found something else that is weird.
When I turn off WiFi, it used to show me "4G" or "3G" icon next to reception bar, when on mobile data.
After the MM update There is nothing shown there, I have no idea if the data is enabled or not, neither if it is 4G or 3G. Is this something wrong with my device or it is MM "feature" ?
How can I get icon for the data connection back on ?!

If you're rooted you can use gravity box xposed module to show it back. No idea why it happened in the first place
OK sorted the problem.
I went to stock recovery (I'm not rooted) and cleared cache partition, rebooted and now it shows 3G/4G icon when I'm on mobile data.
thanks everyone for the support
Quick question:
I have the Sprint version. I've noticed a GPS icon that doesn't seem to go away from the status bar. I've searched around and found that all other published screenshots on forum/blogs etc (would be on the GSM version) do NOT have this icon. It will get crossed out if I turn off Location services, but will not go away.
Anyone have ideas for how to remove these? I'd prefer not to Root, but will if necessary. I know you can root-->xposed to modify these icons. Just trying to make sure I'm not missing a menu somewhere that lets us turn these off (BT, NFC, GPS icon)
Thanks in advance -

This must be your first Sprint HTC phone. That is called reticle icon for location. To remove it completely you need to install a custom ROM like Badboyz. It is removed by default.
It's been a while. I had the M7. I get a new phone about every 6mo. I'm mostly a Nexus fan, but when new good devices come along, I like using them for a while. That circle (along with the NFC and BT icons) are essentially worthless. Wish they'd enable the System UI tuner from Marshmallow and allow us to turn those icons off.
Not sure I want to root/ROM just yet. I'll probably wait a bit. Thanks for the reply.
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
