View Full Version : What's the receiver icon next to the battery icon?

This may sound rather naive, but my jailbroken iPhone 2G is suddenly displaying a new icon that I haven't seen before.

It's an icon of a receiver, right next to the battery icon.

I've never seen it before, and its appeared very recently. I don't have any pending calls or any such thing. I've done a hard reboot, but it won't go away.

Anyone know what it's for?
Thanks in advance.

It's just beaming a message to Apple to void your warrantee.

TTY
google it

Settings > Phone > TTY

The TTY icon shows a phone and a keyboard in blue, this is something else.

Could it be something to do with VPN? I just found a setting for that on the phone, but I don't know how to set it up.

What did you use to jailbreak?

The only things I've installed in the last few days are XpenseIt and PasswordWallet, both AppStore apps.

i would guess a missed call(from a status bar notifier or something), but then if that were the case it would have a badge on your phone icon. . .

maybe it's a winterboard theme/mod?

I haven't set up a VPN connection. I used QuickPwn to jailbreak it. I jailbroke it several weeks back, but the icon has appeared in the last 24 hours or so.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction folks!!!

I'd set up a blocked caller list using iBlacklist several weeks ago. The icon was from iBlacklist, notifying me that a call had been blocked yesterday.

Thanks Four20, moka, filman408 for your help! :D You guys are the best.

Thanks to TuffLuffJimmy for nearly giving me a heart attack ;)
