Weird icon on Taskbar

[Piesang]

Does anyone know what this icon is on my Galaxy Note 10 Plus?

It only pops up every now and then.

Is that not NFC?

It's radiating excess heat out through the antenna so it doesn't Note7 on you.

The split "N" is NFC across devices:

Note the trademark just after the N.

This thread suggests it is WiFi calling, but I am not convinced. Maybe post a proper screenshot of it. It is difficult to do a reverse image search on that image.

 

[Piesang]

Can't really make it much clearer than this

 

[Piesang]

Or maybe this.

That a safety icon. Indicates that your phone has been compromised and that someone is transferring all your data

I hope you don't have any sensitive pictures on your photo

Better close your banking app quickly

Good luck OP

Oh no. That's crappy.

No, my wifi calling icon looks different.

Clever. I never thought about that. I called the authorities.

Is that not NFC?

No, my NFC if off. And the icon looks different.

Isn't that the samsung accessory service? connecting wearables to your phone

Don't have a samsung so not sure

That could be it. Communication between my phone and watch maybe? I'll look into that.

Thanks.

Just looking at it I would've assumed it indicates tethering/hotspot activity.

So much for "UX"

If it pops up periodically, it should mean the App is installed, active and already setup to detect devices once they are within range. I would disable it or set it to only be used when required in manual mode under your control

So, in conclusion: Being blessed with piesangvingers will sometimes enable/disable settings when you inadvertently multi-touch the screen. (Fortunately, a bloke by the name of Edward Scissorhands runs an international support group for you okes.)

And there must always be that one person that say something totally irrelevant.
