Gray circle with white x

[dustlane]

Does anyone know what the small gray circle with the white x next to some of my threads in messaging means? I have looked everywhere and I can't find an answer.

Can you post a screen shot?

I just went to get a screen shot and the x's are gone. Weird. They have been there since the day I got the phone and now that I need a screen shot, they are gone. I'll post a screen shot if they come back. I promise I am not crazy.

Is this in the stock messaging app? I just looked in mine, I don't have any white circles with Xs in them, I do have some orange and green circles though. I think the circles might be tied to your google talk contacts.

That is an icon showing the person's status on Google Talk.

Thanks! Although one of those contacts doesnt have a gmail account. Does that matter?

I know your not crazy. . I've seen them too and been researching them.

No it is not because the person I see it next to doesn't have anything to do with Google. . He hates Google.

It will also show up for Skype users and several other communication and social groups if they are not signed in.
