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.

Try to search for "htc one x power saver settings" on google, and download it, and in that app untick the first option above the "minimal cpu" option. Sorry my device is not english, thats why i dont know the names of options if that doesnt work, look around in the default settings, what can set or affect your messages while in sleep mode...

could you consider adding a dock mode toggle into your app ?
besides that, it works great !

testing now, I play movies everyday

just forget it, read again what i wrote, and its plain dumb, you're with your screen off ... bleh

Awesome idea! my phone overheats, so this will be great thanks!

Just what is was looking for...
Will try it later when using the MHL
Thanks

brilliant:good:

Love it great idea !
is it possible to assign a shortcut button or have it as a notification for easier in app access ?
Working great so far

You could always place a widget of the app to access it quick from home launcher. If I implement permanent notification, it requires a service to be kept running -> battery problem. However if you want, then I could implement a notification toggle that let you turn on the screen without the need of putting the phone to sleep and wake it up.
Please share any other ideas if you have

FYI: does not work on stock deodexed Galaxy Nexus (I know this is for the HOX, but I've been looking for something similar...)

The best thing I have found so far is an app called Screen Filter (turns the brightness to almost 0%). For me it works best to set a homescreen widget so you can access it when the screen is unreadable.

To any one who want me to port this app to their devices, please note that I don't have the device myself (I only have Nexus S / Moto Xoom and the HOX International). So please PM me, so I can give you instruction on how you can help me port this app.

Hardware keys

Anyone knows why the HTC one m8 stock version the keys at the bottom dissappear in a lot of the apps like Internet and much more, I have use 3 roms alright currently on Insertcoin and they all have the keys permanently there taking more space of the screen is kind of annoying lol. Anyways anyone knows something about it.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I can't speak to the Internet app, as I use Chrome, and it doesn't do this. Are you talking about the immersive mode of fullscreen apps, like Google Play Books or YouTube? That's by design.
Although, I can't imagine the Internet app is supposed to do that... Sorry I can't offer much help. Maybe you could list some more apps that do it. What stock rom are you on? (Rogers, AT&T, etc)
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium HD app

I moved this to Q&A since it's a question. My attempt to answer your question:
I've noticed that some apps have built in menu functions and will turn off the keys. The custom ROMs probably have a toggle set that keeps the keys there not matter what. That's my guess without more info.
