Strange status bar icon

Hey all.
Out of nowhere this strange icon appeared, and stayed there for about 20 mins never to be seen again. I've never seen it anywhere before.
Anyone know what it is?

Could it be:
- call hold (my moneys on this)
- flight mode

Flight mode - plane mode? That dissables signal totally, and I had signal. As for the call on hold, that'd be on the left of the status bar. This was a permanent icon amongst the right side.

Let me have a stab at this...
I think it's the icon denoting your phone microphone is mute.
To test, make a call and then tap on the mute button. See if the mysterious icon appears...

To me it looks like 'Phone is bricked' ... but that would make no sense

LOL. That would be a great black icon all across the screen.

Ask the person who made the theme, might be a replacement for something else...

I have passed this thread to a few people on the VillainRom IRC channel and most seem to think its related to "call barring" or a similar feature.

How on earth would I have started that? My phone was left in my pocket. Max of 5 mins of sitting in the car before I checked and that was there.

So, you dropped your phone from some height, and now it doesn't go into landscape anymore?
do you mean your phone won't physically open, or it won't tilt to landscape when you change the orientation of the phone?
If its the latter, sounds like you busted your accelerometer.

Yeah I was talking bout the screen orientation but when I reboot my phone it works fine and after a while it doesn't, so I don't think the accelerometer is broken
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

Not sure if this will help, but I have heard of cases where it's an app that's causing the system to stop responding to the accelerometer. I have a friend who owns a Samsung Galaxy S who had his accelerometer stop working, only to find it working after uninstalling a bunch of apps.
So you might want to consider that it wasn't necessarily the drop that caused it.

Hmm, I don't believe I have ever seen a dialer that goes to landscape. Not to my knowledge, I have never seen anything like that. There's a lot of different dialers out there, but none of which rotate to landscape. That's not to say that it can't be done, just that I've never seen one.

I too haven't seen a landscape dialer.
Edit: after going a lightning faster search, I think dialer one may be your best bet.

Yep, Dialer One works in landscape mode & on CM7. I use it on CM7, I like it better than the default.

I will try.thank you buddy
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Yes this dialer is awesome. Is there somehow to flash it so its my default.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Guys check it out.won't be diaspponted
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Try to call someone, and then it should ask you to select a default,t hen pick dialer one.

The actual phone call part is done through the stock dialer, so you can't set the default for calling. However, at the end of a phone call it sends you to the call log. Then you get a popup asking if you want to use Dialer One or Contacts/Dialer... check the check box & choose Dialer One. Anytime another app calls the dialer, contacts, or call log you may have to set the default again - but only once per individual circumstance.

Landscape home screen?

Just wondering if there is a way to set the home screen to landscape mode without having the gameplay out?
* gamepad, stupid auto correct!

It's just a matter of programing it to listen to the accelerometer and trigger landscape when its over 50 degrees...now if only someone could do that

as stated before use a different launcher
pro launcher does it, etc.

In the US, if you insert power (micro usb) then headphones, it'll go into landscape... and stay in it some times until you cycle putting the headphones in and out a couple of times...
Actually rather annoying at times...
Another launcher is truly the easiest way.

How are these comments at all usefull? If everyones attitude was "use another launcher" or "use another app" nothing would get developed here, It would be full of lazy people using "other" launchers

This is possible, A team of devs managed to program the same functionality into the desire s's htc sence ports. At first only devices with H/W keybords could get it into landscape mode, but the devs programed it to listen to the accelerometer instead

Thanks for that Andro kinda got over it anyway, just would've been cool to do what my transformer does ie. landscape to portrait depending on accelerometer, and when I saw that the play changes to landscape with the gamepad out it didn't make sense that it wouldn't do it normally :-/

Maybe we will get it in the next update? Anyway I'm kinda getting into java, so I might try something, but it might take a while

How to force landscape homescreen?

Searched the forum and found no answers! It happened the other day - my homescreen turns landscape - but I can't get it to happen again. Any ideas?! Also, anyone find that this XDA Premium HD app FCs a lot?

Hi!
landscape mode works only in some apps. You will not get landscape mode in homescreens, unless you have a custom ROM installed and have LeeDroid Tweaks.
Greetings
Putti

But it actually happened yesterday! I had landscape homescreen with all icons positioned on right of the screen and widgets resized accordingly...
[EDIT] I am running custom ROM Android Revolution HD

Hello, i have a non-rooted phone and also got it a copple of times.
On the home screen i suddenly had a landscape screen.
Once turned back to portrait, it did not go back to landscape again.
After searching i found a forum message about an app called 'Rotate'.
this app can force autorotate, so the landscape also works on the homepage.
1 problem, you can try it some time and then you have to pay for it (only $1.99)

If your using apex launcher you can go into advanced settings and pick auto rotate or landscape only, if your using stock sense then I havn't got a clue

HTC Sense doesn't allow the homescreens to rotate at will, generally the home screens are locked into portrait viewing.
I have seen screen shots of the phone homescreen in landscape, I think it's just a glitch... as you said, it's reverted back now and won't do it again.
Unless forced with an app etc...

HTC Sense doesn't allow the homescreens to rotate at will, you have to edit the rosie.apk to get it to work as you've already said.
So it doesn't work as standard.

I have a car dock for my One X, and when it sits in the car dock it is also possible to see the homescreen(s) in landscape mode.
Here is an example:

So it is possible and I find it strange that HTC doesn't allow it when using the device normally.

Rotate HTC 1 X homepage
I found this app on the Play Store " Rotation Locker" on another forum. It has worked for me but try it your selves.

Thanks works just perfect and now its free

This app works but...
Hey...even i was searching for some app or mod through which i can get my homescreen in landscape mode while the phone rests in my "new KiDiGi desktop charger" :silly:
So i came across the apps mentioned above.... "Rotation Locker" and "Ultimate Rotation Control"
Rotation locker was a free app but it did not work fully...like the lock screen used to be in portrait only...and the app sometimes flickered between portrait and landscape mode...so i uninstalled it....
Ultimate Rotation Control is amazing...it works perfectly for me...the only issue that it is a 7-day trial after which i would be asked to pay $2 (almost Rs.110 here in India)...
i would not mind paying money to the developer...but since i have a rooted phone with Android Revolution HD 9.4.1 ROM, i was just thinking is there any custom tweek developed for this ROM which can help me get rid of these Third party apps for rotation control....
Does anyone know about any such tweak for rooted HTC One X??
I have another query...i want to know if there is any tweak/app through which i can get my screen to wake up when a new SMS/Whatsapp/mail comes?? basiacally to wake up the screen in case of any notification...
Thanks a lot in advance
