Ive never seen that icon either... its possible it could be running your battery down.

How much % does your screen use my is so bad 77% atm my battery goes so quick when my brightness is always low

You have to put it on automatic brightness. I had the same problem and putting it on automatic brightness eliminated the issue.

No, not the screenshot icon in the left corner. The one immediately to the left of the alarm icon. A diamond shape with crosshairs and what looks like a signal radiating out to the right.

I don't know what that is. Wish I knew

In my considered opinion, I believe that aliens must be probing your phone and draining your battery.

When I open the Google maps app it goes away and the standard gps icon shows up. When I close Google maps that weird icon comes back

thats ur GPS symbol, so either google maps is running in the background consitantly on when it should be unless ur actually using it, or an app is using it in the background to know where u are, most likely twitter or facebook, those are the 2 bigs ones. Just go to every app u have and disable GPS for them or turn it off when not using it

My guess is location services on some app like Places or maybe Geo tagging on a camera. Google Now sucks the life from you too. The broadcast lines indicate some kind of RF transmission. Turn off the three location services. GPS, Google & carrier and good luck.

I can't figure out which app is the culprit. It's not Facebook, turning off all gps doesn't do it, it's not twitter, and no gps tagging on the camera. I give up. Thanks guys.

LOL why would I need to put a fake picture of my battery.

Was I going to win an award or something? Lol some people blow my mind.

Prior to my HTC One, I've had the S3 and the Note 2. One thing I can confirm is, the newer Galaxy devices have great battery life.

First charge cycle. Enough said.

That screen time of over 5 hours is great.

Not bad at all

I use my droid all day and for the most part i have to be plugged in because by the second my battery is at one bar. I just bought this phone. It is fast, even on the battery.

It's not listed in the manual as one of the stock indicator icons, so perhaps it's from an app you installed? Whatever it is, the fact that it's constantly sending or receiving a signal is a likely cause of your battery drain. I wouldn't give up. Somebody's bound to come along who knows what it is.
