What is this icon on the status bar? - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

Running stock HTC Android 8.0. It's a circle with four little lines off the sides. Top, bottom, and left / right. (kinda looks like a rifle scope reticle) It also has a diagonal line through it. Any ideas?
I tried uploading a screenshot, but kept getting a network error message.

Probably pretty tough without ss.
Use chrome and go to xda and upload the ss.
I use chrome strickly for xda, never had issue uploading

Sounds like the location reticle.
Some devices don't show it, some do.
Depends on your device model/network carrier, whether system UI shows it or not.
Here's an older example in the status bar:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

What does the dec 7 update (2.3.6) bring?

Starting this thread because I have seen a couple things in the 2.3.6 version and they aren't mentioned anywhere I can locate, here on xda or otgerwise. Below is a pic of what I was updated with, stock here... the numbers differ from what Is listed on sprint.com
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I never really had los problems so the only two things I have noticed are:
1. While scrolling (vertical) menus when you reach the end, instead of the screen "stretching" into black space, a graduated blue hue will rise from bottom or top of menu being scrolled.
2. A- Upon touching the lockscreen it sort of "hops" about 1/4" off the left side and a few mm from the bottom. As sort of a headstart?
2.b- on touching lockscreen it displays four small arrows. Obe each on sides, top and botton. N, s, e, w.
Any other new features you have noticed? Is there a list on the web that can be posted here please?
Thanks all.

The home screen page dots are no longer numbered.
From digging in SystemUI.apk, I think the fully charged audio notification is gone. The screen on and notification bar icon are still there.

Of course it includes the features from Gingerbread .5 and .6.

I know... I just couldn't resist... 2.3.6 is an update that fixes some stuff that the user probably doesn't see... It's bigger... better than we could build it before (Anyone here know where that comes from?)

Visual Reception

So I had full bars prior to rooting. No matter what ROM or where I am, I only have 1-2 bars. Sometimes 3 depending on where I am.
I checked the store model and it's full bars. Store's is running LG2. I just updated mine to the second which was LF9 from LEN thinking it would fix something. Took it to LG2 and same.
Anyone else experiencing this? Not really an issue, just a visual comfort.
Bars don't really mean anything. Run speedtest and see if they have changed. You can't always just go by how many bars you have.

Calls cut in and out constantly. It was never like that before. That's what I am going on. I call the bars Visual Comfort, since it makes you feel warm inside.
The other thing, I work at a store. The store model is solid and full. Mines 1 corner bar. Big difference. I only started to question it after my calls became unstable.
Huge difference.

It was in the E4GT theme and apps section.
It's just the transparent widget file. I can try to find it for you in a bit.

If it's not I can pull it from my phone and upload it later today.

[Q] How to hide the side-bar in the Gallery?

Hi Guys,
Is there a way to hide the sidebar of the Gallery when you are browsing pictures in the Album?

No. You have to use quickpic. But you loose the air view functionality. ..

Bummer ! I enjoy moving pictures easily between Albums in the stock Gallery. Maybe they need to have this functionality in the next upgrade.
I wonder if if anyone is seeing a bug similar to what I'm seeing. On this same gallery side bar when I attempt to scroll up and down the list keeps resetting itself back to the last selected folder. If I'm doing something wrong then please tell me as this is very frustrating!
Swipe left and the sidebar will be hidden. Dunno if that is a new addition or not.
I did not know that thank you.
Neither did I til last night. Just happened to slide my finger left and the sidebar disappeared. I wonder what other stuff I can do that I don't know about yet
swipe left doesnt work foe me

It doesn't work for me either.

It's work fine for me: Good:
How do you get it back? I actually liked the gallery side bar
It worked for me. I wonder why it only works for some and not for others.
It sounds like it. Swiping to the left does not restore the album sidebar I want too.
It works. Just needs a little practice.
Swipe on entire screen to the left to hide it.
Swipe similarly to the right to bring it back.

Really? What an ugly icon.
It means that your Nespresso capsules are being delivered.
Seriously, I'm wondering myself
NFC
I think iv seen that before, some NFC app, maybe 'anytag'?
It does look like nfc. Weird, it didn't show on my device with nfc switched on.

An other lawsuit for HTC ^^
I don't think this is a stock HTC icon. I've never seen it while scanning tags.

It appears only on US branded devices, as far as I know. You can see it in HTC's promotional photos etc (example)
My guess is that it has something to to with certain AT&T apps/services. Not completely answering your question but hopefully getting closer to finding it's purpose.
The NFC app is Android Beam. Funny, though, it doesn't show up specifically in running apps or processes.
It shows up when you have NFC switched on. That's beaming meant to share data with other phones etc. Find it under Wireless Networks, Share and Connect on my LG V10

Navbar keeps turning white on home screen

I recently installed the unlocked firmware (XAA, G955U1UEU1AQG2) on my Verizon S8+ and every time I come out of using split-screen (multi-window), the navbar on the home screen will change from transparent with white buttons to white with gray buttons. It doesn't matter what mode the navbar is in. The only way to clear it is to restart the phone. Is anyone else that's running the most most recent version of the unlocked firmware seeing this?

I figured out what was happening. I needed to exit out of split-screen, not swipe down on the bottom window.

Yeah, I love it, it runs smoothly. It doesn't have WiFi calling or Verizon voicemail built in. I know there are mods for WiFi calling, but I don't wanna go through the headache of setting it up. I just use Hangouts (with my Google Voice number) if I ever need to make a WiFi call and Google Voice for my voicemail.

First select select which window you want to close (by physically touching). You'll see the blue line between the windows move in the direction of the window you touch. Then press the little white hash in the middle and then a menu will pop up. Then press X.
