Anybody know what that is next to the Bluetooth symbol? It's not the usual battery symbol, as that's to the right, as normal.

what was it - if you don't mind my asking? it might be reporting full power in the bt data stream but not have a battery.

Something that was implemented in BT 4.0 - I think, maybe before hand. Was a data stream of condition of the BT device - which included battery charge state such that BT headsets and headphones can report to the mobile if their batteries are low - without the headset or headphones needing their own display. I know Jawbone jumped on this when it was first available.

Might have been BT 3.1.
