I've got a weird icon that just showed up on my screen tonight...its an upside down bubble, a slash, and an L on its side. Ive attached a screens of it. Its in the top right of the notification bar. Anyone know what this is?

I know this is kinda dumb, but I just had to do a full factory reset on my TB, long story, and in another post. Now I can't for the life of me remember what that skin was in my original post....anyone help? I really don't like the factory HTC skins, and that one's closer to my droid was setup, so it's easier for me to navigate it.

This thread is epic. Lol

You sure it's an "L on its side"? :p

Yeah, looks like that task killer is working out great for your battery



LOL

Never said I was smart...just over time, I'll figure something out...I figured it was better to stay in the same thread as what I'd started out before, than to start a whole new one, for one single question, that I was going to need to use the same photo for.
As far as the task killer, I've turned it off since, so that it's not running in the background, but after reading through the thread on it, I decided to just keep it in case I did need to nuke an app for some reason or another. Whether or not it truly makes a difference, I don't know-that's for people a lot more knowledgeable than me to figure out...I'm just an average consumer, with a curiosity that gets me in trouble more often than not.

Remove the task killer. If you need to kill an app, go into your app management and do it there. App killers do one thing. Kill your battery.
