I never get the voicemail icon as well !

Do you use Visual VM, or a third party VM service? That might explain it.

(Unless it's just a case of no one ever leaves messages)

 
 
Posted by maniac2403 Wednesday, Jul 14, 2010 678 days ago

Yea, I have subscribed to Visual VM by Rogers.

i have visual vm and i still get the voicemail icon...

Visual VM is not supported on BB. Visual VM is iPhone. Please check your voicemail retrieval number. Add this number to your voicemail settings and if there are any password...also

Really thanks but I also want to know about the icons in BBM groups, some of my group members are having some strange icons in front of their names. Is there any link available?

 
 
Posted by maniac2403 Wednesday, Jul 14, 2010 678 days ago

When you set up a group, you can assign images for the group. The image that you assign, shows up as in the home screen for any messages in the group.

It is funny that the notifications were postedc today. Earlier today one of my teammates that uses a blackberry came to me and asked what a specific icon means, and I told her...Then two hours later you post then on crackberry. This was awesome!!
Thanks guys!!

add the twitter icons for the bb twitter app

perhaps some of the others like ubertwitter etc, any that appear on the main screen

 
 
Posted by PaintDrinkingPete Wednesday, Jul 14, 2010 678 days ago

Those are icons generated by 3rd party apps, this chart is just for icons for standard BlackBerry components.

 
 
Posted by DrLouie Thursday, Jul 15, 2010 677 days ago

I don't really think of Twitter for BlackBerry by RIM as a 3rd party app. Also, the eBay app by RIM alert icon is missing.

I have a crosshairs with a circle around them and three lines coming out of the right side. What is that icon? How do I get rid of it on my Bold 9650?

enabled

options > advanced options > gps > location ??

 
 
Posted by BBThemes Wednesday, Jul 14, 2010 678 days ago

thats your GPS, go into options> advanced options> gps> set to off.

 
 
Posted by Lumberman Wednesday, Jul 14, 2010 678 days ago

I think the crosshair indicates that GPS is on.

on the front page. I've posted it a few times in the various forums I participate in. It's come in handy for more than one member!!!!

 
 
Posted by berryfreak310 Wednesday, Jul 14, 2010 678 days ago

The SMS/MMS icon displayed in the list is different than what shows up on the newer builds of OS 5.0. This list must be a little old...?? ---Still a useful list though. Just wanted to point out the change.

 
 
Posted by magnetowasright Wednesday, Jul 14, 2010 678 days ago

"Out of the list above, I personally have never seen a service book waiting or browser push message icon."

I've seen the browser push message notification before :) I was trying to browse a web page but the signal was poor so the phone asked if I want to save the request for later and I was curious what that'd do so I said yes. As soon as there was reception again the notification came up to let me know that the phone could access the page now.

I love the eBay app notification icon. Want to make it my regular message notification icon.

 
 
Posted by ejlee07834 Wednesday, Jul 14, 2010 678 days ago

How about the icon for push to talk enabled. That one made me crazy for a week.

 
 
Posted by ifarlow Wednesday, Jul 14, 2010 678 days ago

No, this is not an image from RIM. This is an image from me. I made this in October of 2009, and I posted it on BlackBerryForums (username: ifonline). That thread is here:

Posted by jsanders Thursday, Jul 15, 2010 677 days ago

Yes, you ^^ did create this chart... I recall when you first posted it.

 
 
Posted by pkcable Wednesday, Jul 14, 2010 678 days ago

I first discovered it when I saw Forum Mod, Chrisy520 post it in answer to a question from a member, asking what an a particular icon meant. I liked it so much I moved the whole thread to the Tips, How To and FAQ Sub Forum. I noticed that the image itself is hosted on Fatboy97's photobucket site so THAT is who I usually credit. :)

How can I connect my wifi to the bis

 
 
Posted by Mycopsycho Wednesday, Jul 14, 2010 678 days ago

Thanks. I saved the image and now have it for reference in case I get a notification icon I don't recognize. I once received a browser push notification and I searched all over trying to figure out what it was for. Only by chance did I work it out. Now I can just refer to the image.

 
 
Posted by sherb12 Wednesday, Jul 14, 2010 678 days ago

call forwarding icon needs to be added to that list. i went nuts trying to figure that one out.

 
 
Posted by mas3222 Wednesday, Jul 14, 2010 678 days ago

Now I know the push browser icon. I had it once and never figured out what it was until now. Thanks.

 
 
Posted by Alberta Blue Wednesday, Jul 14, 2010 678 days ago

Your BB should connect to BIS automatically when you are connected to a wifi network. If it doesn't or drops frequently, try updating your OS. The newest version of OS 5 is much better in this regard (I have noticed).

I have a globe on mine... Had it before but can't remember what it was... Anyone?

 
 
Posted by kennyiceberry Sunday, Jul 18, 2010 674 days ago

The Browser Push icon looks like a globe, but it's not easy to tell that from the image above as it's so small.

 
 
Posted by kanehusky Wednesday, Jul 14, 2010 678 days ago

I've never seen the slanted mail icon for SMS/MMS messages. Always the plain mail message icon for me.

 
 
Posted by Inspector_Gadget Wednesday, Jul 14, 2010 678 days ago

I coppied this image, and stored it on my card. Now any time i see a new icon, I can just go check out my handy cheat card! Thanks Bla1ze!

 
 
Posted by Sparkmaster Wednesday, Jul 14, 2010 678 days ago

Don't forget the "SOS" icon..

 
 
Posted by google123 Wednesday, Jul 14, 2010 678 days ago

I've recently seen a new icon in my messages folder. It showed up twice on my hotmail messages. It showed the regular yellow envelope but it had a small blue arrow ponting down located to the left of the yellow envelope. I have never seen that particular icon before.

 
 
Posted by Propa Wednesday, Jul 14, 2010 678 days ago

I haven't seen the enhanced call, roaming or servc book icons before...

the sms/mms icon is the old one before OS5, it should be a chat bubble thing since most people that didnt know these have new OS5 phones

Posted by redhatgirl Sunday, Jul 18, 2010 674 days ago

So is this icon meaning list somewhere to be found in the phone or is the best option to do the picture thing of it? If you can find it in the phone where? Also - where are other icon meanings (like symbol for airplane mode etc.).

 
 
Posted by kennyiceberry Sunday, Jul 18, 2010 674 days ago

Storm 1; ever since I update to OS 5, SMS message icons look just like ordinary e-mail icons. No big deal but they do.

 
 
Posted by sc2665 Thursday, Aug 19, 2010 642 days ago

how do you get rid of this icon?

 
 
Posted by brusselsmama Sunday, Aug 29, 2010 632 days ago

Hello all!

I'm new here, but hoping that someone can help me with my question. I have the browser push notification on my home screen and I cannot get rid of it. I have tried taking the battery out (both after turning off the phone and without turning off the phone first).

Greatly appreciate any tips anyone may have!

Thanks!

:o)

I never noticed that an email & sms envelope is slightly different... good to know :) As well as the difference between connected & not connected Wi-Fi & Bluetooth. Nice, thanks for this.

Posted by filbert42 Wednesday, Jan 26, 2011 482 days ago

There's another for UMA connection - I can't work out how to post a screen shot but it's like a lighthouse with brackets round it (3 sets for strong signal) with the letters UMA under it.

Can someone help me with this, on my screen to the right underneath the Wi-Fi symbol there is an icon that I can't identify and i haven't been able to find out what it is anywhere on the internet. It is a little circle with a cross inside of it and also to the right of this little circle there are little signal bars (not too sure how to describe those). Does anyone know what this symbol / icon is?

Just joined the site based on this info.
