I found this thread because I want to know what a certain icon means exactly in my notification bar. It isn't any of the icons in the image Phases posted.

It's circular, with two arrows "orbiting" the center of the circle, kinda like a refresh icon of some kind.

Similar to this, but without color:

Now, I'm no idiot and I can come up with several things that it CAN mean, but I want to know officially what it is for and why it comes up once in a while.

EDIT: Sorry if the image is really big. I resized it within my post but apparently it didn't work.

I am getting an icon shaped like a target.
Couldn't find its description anywhere.
I will try to post its screenshot.


I think I know what you're talking about, and I think that's related to Location... something about getting your location...

Let me look it up...

Is this it? The one next to the 3g icon?

If that's the icon you're talking about, then it's related to your Location, I believe. Also, from what I understand, you can't get rid of it without rooting and installing a custom ROM.



You could also be talking about one of the two in the bottom right of this picture:
