Screen (indicators) & their meanings
Ok,
I looked around, and can't seem to find anything when I searched, So can anybody show what the data/pictures at upper edges of my screen mean. I have the cingular themed 8800, and I'm not talking about the HOME icons, I'm refering to what I see at the very top of the home screen.
I've seen some weird stuff in my UPPER RIGHT corner.
1 - A tiny box, bigger box, and another tiny box, all connected to eachother in a diagnal pattern.
2 - EDGE
3 - an antenna picture,
4 - and my power bar.
5 - Occasional appearing & dissapearing blue arrows. (I assume they represent sending/recieving)
Sometimes, other stuff goes up there and nothing is in the manual that describes the meaning of these images. I really want to know what all the possible images are, and what each of them means.
All the manual covers is EDGE,edge,GPRS,gprs,GSM,(antenna picture)SOS;OFF;X.
I need to know what all the other things mean. Sometimes the visual representation isn't enough to know what it is.
*EDIT - I did notice an indicator go away when I closed (Beyond411) so maybe some of these are application specific, but if anyone could shed some light on these indicators, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks alot. :)

Home Screen Status Indicators and Icons
This post is months after the original, but as it was information I was looking for myself I thought I would post it.
Here is a list and graphical representations of all of the home screen status indicators and icons and what they represent:

message indicator storm and messages folders
Thank you bavcnc1. That indicator was driving me nuts, couldn't find what it was for. Your solved the problem but apparently it is not just for email. I downloaded another ap and later got an upgrade notice and I guess that that popped up but I didn't make the connection.
As a new blackberry user one thing I am not clear on. There are two message folders one with the small globe on it and one without the globe. I thought I was getting same messages in both folders which seemed to be be a needless duplication. The only time that hasn't happened is with this indicator upgrade msg. It went to my message folder but not my eamil folder as everything else has. Can anyone tell me why I need or shud have two mesaage folders when I'd prefer to have just one.
