Question Unknown Icon at startup!

[mikemogly]

So this icon is only on til I unlock my phone after boot. Does anyone know what it is?

Welcome to AC!
Can you circle which one you're referencing? Is this a Samsung Note device?

It's a blue square with 8 triangles inside.

I believe that's related to not having a sim connected to service

I had some trouble with an esim and i thought it was a weird interaction with spectrum. But it was there before and after I factory reset it. I couldn't find a visual match anywhere either.

I think once you get service activated it should go away

I always had service, I just deleted the esims. I have two fold 6s and that icon arrived on both around the same time. The older, broker one hasn't had service, but I use the 2nd one as a daily and it's had service for years.

So your saying with service it still shows up?

 

[mikemogly]

Yes. I've done a lot of digging and have come up empty handed. I'm really quite curious now, my phone has seemed to be sluggish.

I'm pretty sure that's the Android 16 icon (minus the orbiting bugdroid) -- that can show up when the system is doing something like updating, or sometimes even just starting up:

It's definitely similar, but definitely not a match. There are no visual matches, and I've gotten

I wish it was, and its definitely simular. But no, I have scoured Google and found some that are close.
That's a Russian taxi company in Georgia. My phones been pinging there every once and a while.
It's close to Dropbox as well. I'm looking for as close to 100% accurate as can be.

I really think it's the Android 16 logo. Just look at the central diamond shape without the orbiting Android, and note how the triangles are arranged.

I can't find an example yet on the web, but it's analogous to the Android 14 logo:

Aha, found another example that's close to what we're looking for in this article: https://www.phonearena.com/news/goo...ns-android-16-its-double-edged-sword_id168509. Look at that diamond-shaped icon, which is a system notification:

That's it! Thank you! One question figured, now why would it be on two of my phones when I've never gone further than keyboard settings? I've have no idea what it is, let alone turn it on.. I have had a few instances where my os says its 14, but I thought it was a mistake.

Does it only show up immediately after a reboot, and then disappear soon after? I've seen that kind of behavior on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+, so some manufacturers might show that icon as the system is finishing starting up.
