New icon in status bar

[musidan]

I have a new icon in my status bar but as far as I know, I did not download any software. The new icon came up around the same time that my phone started having many problems connecting to the cellular network... Sometimes the new icon appears next to the AT&T label and sometimes it appears instead of the AT&T label... In this screenshot, it is in place of the AT&T label. The icon I'm talking about is the far left icon in this screen.



Thanks for looking!

When I pull down the notifications bar, there's nothing in there, but I'll dig through the settings... thanks!

I believe you've turned notifications off or turned on blocking mode. Pull down the notification bar and see if it says "blocking mode enabled" If so, click on it and turn it off.

OK - I read through the other thread and looked through the settings. Apparently AT&T has removed "blocking" from the settings/device menu - it's not there. Any other ideas where I might find this? I hate to think what might be being blocked...
