Solved: Re: Unknown status bar symbol

A circle (3/4 filled) with a cross inside has appeared on my status bar. Anyone know what this means please??

Just to throw another possibility out there for you, do you have Data Saver mode enabled?

Go into settings > connections > data usage > data saver.

Or search in settings for "data saver".

This is from a Samsung S7 Edge handset, recent firmware, so may not be the same steps with different models or software versions.

Could be location services in use?
Which phone have you got?

Data saver (A5 2017) well done Wa10.
Not really sure what it does mind you!!

Fantastic, glad we've managed to clear it up for you @Anonymous Was just a lucky guess if I'm honest, haha.

Little bit about it here - http://www.samsung.com/au/support/skp/faq/1124726

Things like social media apps tend to eat astonishing amounts of data in the background, so I suspect it keeps them on a tighter leash along with limiting other unnecessary data. Probably only worthwhile if you have a low data allowance, or when roaming outside of the Eurozone to limit costs.
