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.

Is there a way to disable texts from showing up in the call log?

I find it really annoying that texts show up in the call log... anyway to disable that? I'm on Starburst 1.7

In the phone log click the menu button and click view by. Then choose all voice calls.

That works but it doesn't stick. I think it resets after a reboot. At least for me it hasn't stuck.

So I'm assuming there is no permanent workaround yet?

Probably not. The phone is still very new and still working out bug in every corner. So it will take some time.

There is a "logsprovider.apk" over on Bonsai that works, I use it fwiw. Just search the quoted term.

I've been using go dialer since I changed my lcd density to 200 which made the default dialer look funny. I like go dialer so far

This must be with the default messaging. I don't see the texts in mine, maybe cause I have Handcent installed.

Just noticed this

In the upper left hand corner of my status bar, the little box with a + in it, what is that? It doesn't show in notifications
And apparently I can't upload a screen shot anymore... wth?

Tried it, its the app, it will only let me choose tapatalk hosted as an option then tells me to upgrade. I don't even have tapatalk lol

Maybe volume plus?

Have you installed a theme or game? I had Airpush ads on my phone once when I downloaded a ICS theme. I had both + and a star in my status bar.

I think I figured it out, it only seems to show up when apps are installed or updated. I'm thinking its the new backup feature to my single account. :beer:

Lmao that's normal! It just means there's more apps on the notification list that its not displaying at the top notification bar. What you want for it to keep pilling up and go past what your screen can hold? Just kiddin but yeah that's normal. You must be new to android that's been around since forever lol

Good thing it was a + and not an x, the x would mean crack rom rejection. .................. lol.

lol. No, I don't mean that. When looking at the icon along with the rest of the other icons on the same line, I could see the word Voicemail being higher then the others.
Update: I fixed the problem. I removed the icon from the homescreen. Afterwards, I went into my app drawer and moved it back onto the homescreen. It's all good now.

One thing abut the dialer that bothers me....

Is how I need to put in the area code before it will bring up contacts. Is there a way to auto populate the area code so I don't always have to???

You could just type their name?

The main thing that bothers me with the phone app is that you can't set which tab it opens when you open the app. I like going to my contact list first bc it has my favorites up top.

For me its easier than typing their number because I don't have anyone's phone numbers memorized anymore. Lulz.

True. I guess I just got so used to AOSP on the Rezound, going back to sense is just weird. I would love to run Infection or Tron on this phone!

Agreed about aosp. I've been running that and I'm used to it.
Guess I can always use a different dialer app.
sent from my blue police box flying through time.....

After using the S4 for a bit. This dialer/contacts/people app is a godsend!

I installed exdialer and its pretty cool. I like the stock phone app but just hate having the always type the area code in before it will recommend contacts.

Don't you always dial area code anyways? Been that way for about 15 years for me lol. Then again I do suppose each area of the country is different.

On the aosp dialer and even the s4 dialer you can start to key in the phone number and matching contacts pull up.

Maybe your dialer is messed up then. Mine starts pulling contacts while typing in number. Or maybe I'm just not understanding.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using xda app-developers app

The thing that bothers me is when I start typing in a contact's name or number, it only gives me one contact at a time at the top of the list, with a little box to the left of the input area with the rest of the matches.
Coming from the HTC Incredible, it used to show multiple suggestions at the top of the list.
I played with a ONE in Costco a couple days before I received mine in the mail and it had multiple contacts (though none had pics) up top.
Anyone know how to configure it that way? I've been trying to figure it out

I installed exdialer and its sweet!!
