Connection Status Icons. So what do
all those notification icons on the top mean? The is the second half of icons, we explained all the network status icons in an article yesterday.

Some of the icons are fairly easy to guess what they mean such as the symbol for a USB connection, but some of the others are, well, they are kind of obtuse.

The workd talk is a speech bubble means there is a new Google Talk message. A square cassette symbol, means there is a new voicemail message.  A number on the calendar shows an upcoming event. Arrows in a circle indicate that data is syncing. An exclamation point in a triangle show that there is problem with sign-in or sync. An exclamation point on a hard drive means the microSD card is full. A Wi-Fi symbol with a question marks shows that a Wi-Fi network is available,  The USB symbols means that the phone is connected with a USB cable.
