Wireless signal strength indicator.
The number of signal bands showing to
the right of the radio tower icon represents the strength of the signal at your
current location. If you see an X flashing over the radio tower icon, you’ve
temporarily lost network connection.
Service connectivity indicators.
One dot = device is connecting to the
GPRS network, two dots = getting IP address; three dots = connecting to the
data service; “G” = fully connected to the data service.
GSM (Phone) service only.
A phone icon in the place of the “G” means you
are using (or only have access to) GSM phone service. If you have a call in
progress you’ll also see a timer.
Battery indicators.
The number of bars showing in the battery icon
represents the charge remaining in the battery. When connected to the
charger, a lightning bolt appears, and when your battery is almost out of
charge, an exclamation point appears.
Phone call indicators.
You have a call in progress; in the example, time elapsed is 3 mins, 40 secs.
Note that the phone icon blinks. If you have two calls active, the time displayed
will be for the foreground call.
Call forwarding is turned on. Your phone will not ring.
