Recognize This Notification Icon?

[SeattleGreg]

Does anyone recognize the notification icon just to the left of the 4G? This is on a Samsung Galaxy Note 2.

I read in another thread that that is an NFC icon.

Thanks, that's it. I've been creating NFC tags for my own use with NFC Task Launcher and it works great. Not crazy about the fact that this icon will always be on because I have NFC enabled. A nod to RFC paranoia.

You're welcome. I just happened to see a thread on it in the Galaxy Note 2 forums the other day, while making myself feel envious of all the people who have Note 2's. I agree with a lot of others that the icon should have an option of being disabled in the notification bar when NFC is enabled, but, I guess we will all grow used to it. As of now, though, I'm glad I haven't seen that on my Galaxy Nexus.
