Odd looking notification bar symbols??? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I saw these weird symbols in my notification bar this morning and was curious if anyone else has gotten this or knows what it is?

Are you talking about the H above the signal bar or the three monetary symbols at the bottom? I can't remember which symbol that one is.

Have you used an editor to change your carrier?

Lmao the H is hspa and is standard on T-Mobile GSM phones.
I was referring to the bottom of the screen under T-Mobile . They almost look like euro symbols.
No changes to any carrier on my phone as this is stock ota 4.0.2 unrooted with minimal apps

It is the symbol for pound. Like British pound. Wouldn't know why they are displayed there though

Yes precisely! This is a UK version of the phone being used in Los Angeles, but still this a first I have seen this.
Something else to note is I had major idle battery drain last night for the 1st time in a long time and my android OS was a major resource hog. This is NOT normally the case for my phone.

Mine actually had that last night. I cleared dalvik and cache and rebooted and it was back to normal. It happened right after updating to the latest Franco kernel. Don't know if that caused it though.

It did not cause it because I am on stock 4.0.2 unrooted

it could be malwar because when you have malware it changes some fonts on your screen e.g the Google search bar won't say Google but it will have a magnifying search icon . Make sure your installing trusted apps

Never seen that before does your phone know it's expensive so is telling everyone? lol
Is your phone roaming on to another network? Mine shows 3 as the main network but if I roam it shows the roaming network's name beneath it on the status bar. It sounds like this could be the case with yours but the name won't show correctly.

No I'm not roaming or at least I don't think so. I'm in Denver so plenty of coverage. It goes away when I reset NY phone.

Am I the only one?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Yeah I guess so. I've been in Pittsburgh through Rochester with this phone and I've never seen that symbol, which causes me to doubt that it'd be roaming.
And even if it was, which carrier could it possibly be that the phone can't display? It obviously can show the major ones.
I have just started seeing this as well. Didn't have it before. Also with T-mobile, running 4.0.1.
Love the comment about how expensive the phone is - brilliant.
are you running any custom rom or anything?
I saw a similar topic in a German board and there was also mentioned that it could be some kind of homezone thing but I don't think that this is the solution.
The Nexus is my third android phone and I have a homezone with my provider for years and on no handset with android I had any sign or indicator neither on my Nexus.
Running stock android.. Powered off, powered on - pound signs gone.
Perhaps some app/process that's causing it? Loaded all my apps one by one but didn't affect anything..
Some lock screens have the ability to put like your name/contact number in the lock screen. Maybe you accidentally got to the page to edit that and somehow entered those characters ??

The owner info appears on the top right corner, so it wouldn't be it. Just tried though, nothing.
That is really odd especially if you are not running any apps that alter the lock screen or other notifications. You could always root it and install a ROM, that will fix it

See how Good your Nexus is or not

Hi I have always been a android owner and up until there was no major cause of concern.
I recently migrated from Galaxy s2 to Nexus and found the way ICS browser show this web site is very disappointing any though on this please

Why it fail to deal with it
Many Thanks
Because the Website is fail.
They have it mobile enabled but never built the mobile version, and/or never checked to make sure it worked.
Works fine as full desktop site.

You are determining whether or not your phone is "good" based off a poorly made mobile website? Strange...

I was not gonna bite into another one of these GS2 vs Galaxy Nexus threads but since i own both... This is how my GS2 loaded the page. You fail!!!

Your judging a phone on the basis of one pointless poorly designed, created and maintained website? I'm curious as to how you made it this far onto the internet.
Just so you know as well you can fine tune the way the web browser loads websites in the settings menu, but that may be too difficult for you to possibly comprehend.

Change the the title in rom control I had this too when I first flashed aokp I just changed the name. Then rebooted or have he UI restart and it went to what I changed it too... or you could flash the Franco kernel and it will fix it too.

Mm from what I Google is that is not updated correctly and usually when you is tall a rom you just want to keep going without stopping so I left that activation complete and didn't touch it for like 5 minutes and start putting my account so yeah is weird never happened to my evo or epic phones

Any more ideas? I'm getting this after flashing deodexed MK4 4.3 with Note 3 features from Lorjay589 on my SSGN2. After finding this I wiped both caches.
Fixed "Roaming Indicator Off"
I'm not very savvy with the inner workings of the radio on my android, but I found a fix for the persistent "Roaming Indicator Off" message where I expected to see "US Cellular".
I downloaded an app called Radio Switcher from the play store. When you open the app, you will see all of the hidden radio settings for your phone. Click on the menu (three vertical dots like this:⁝) and open Select Radio Band. From there I selected "USA Band (GSM-850/PCS-1900/WDCMA-850/WCDMA-PCS-1900) and clicked OK.
That's it. No more annoying "Roaming Indicator Off". I even disabled the app afterward so I don't see it in my app drawer.

Horrible battery life all of a sudden...

I was getting great battery life earlier today... I put my phone to charge at about 18% and now this...

do you have a lot of apps running in the backround? are you running a rom? a custom kernel?
Have you tried calibrating the battery?

Your screen isn't going to sleep.
My solution when this happens is to wipe my caches, usually works flawlessly. I've noticed I get this issue when I'm getting texts or calls. I don't know if it bugs out and activates in my pocket or perhaps the touch screen becomes active. After I wipe cache it usually doesn't do it for a long time. I've encountered this issue on several phones. Evo 3d, GS 1, and my GSII

Only app running constantly is Facebook (as usual for me) but that hasn't caused a problem before. I'm running are you jelling ROM for sprint, with whatever the stock kernel is... I usually use Franco but haven't installed it since I update the ROM.
I'm calibrating now
And I will wipe the cache as soon as I get done with this post

Try reflash your phone with stock/custom rom with format data and cache
Well is that 10% the like 100%-90%? I think I lose the first 15% the quickest. What's your total battery life?

1 week with at&t and high data usage?

i used almost 1.2gb of data in the past week with at&t. we are always on wifi like 90% of the time. same setup on our phones we had with verizon and tmobile. is this normal for the note 2 and one x? google voice works over wifi right? i just cannot figure this out. at this rate id go over our 4gb data plan well within a month.
if this keeps up i may have to go back to tmobile with their unlimited data.
Check out whats using your data. Settings/Data usage. Should be easy to identify the culprit

right but when your on wifi, it shouldn't use data or am i incorrect? im wondering if my wife's facebook and weatherbug app are causing this when shes at work? ill have to check when she gets home tonight.
That is correct... If you are connected via wifi then your data usage should not be charged.

Are you sure you are connected to the wifi? I had the same problem thinking I was connect and later found out I wasn't. Also make sure your router is connected to the Internet also.
