Could not find anything related to the strange phone icon, attached a screencap. What is it and why?

That looks like the icon that tells you the speaker phone is active.

That it does but mine is on the left side of my alarm icon. Plus he doesn't have a phone icon on the far left indicating he is on a phone call...

No, it is not...no call was on/connected and the speakerphone icon looks different. Attached a screencap with the speakerphone on.

I use android since Eclaire and never came across this thing. I am on an european carrier, Orange, and they seem to have a custom rom (at least startup animation and bloatware).

PS. I just noticed it goes away from time to time.

Do you have a theme applied?

 

[Jim Smith14]

It appears to be an icon indicating WiFi calling is enabled. Is that possible with your carrier?

No, it is the standard theme.

No, it is not possible. What is interesting is that the icon disappears and reapers from time to time.

Welcome to the forums. It looks like WiFi calling. Are you using Orange?

No, it's not the wi fi calling. I checked it. The wifi calling icon has a little wifi next. This one has like a little sound sign. Yes, I'm using Orange. I'm thinking it's somenthing with the signal or something..

Thanks!

Salut, si eu am aceeasi problema. Sunt tot pe Orange. Am bagat o cartela de Vodafone si a disparut deci ma gandesc ca are de aface cu cei de la Orange.

That icon is for 4G calling. You can activate/deactivate it from the settings/connections/mobile networks/4g call.

 

[IMRANSHAIKH1988]

it will reflect when you are using the data/hotspot from other mobile.

It is the icon which reflect the WiFi Calling feature.
