A reference for status bar icons

[karmamule]

I saw a "dot within a circle" icon on my 920's status bar and was wondering what it was. I found a handy page that was part of the 920's online manual that showed me it was the icon for "An app or service is using your location info."

Since I remember questions regarding what various icons mean cropped up occasionally for the Lumia 900, I thought I'd share this link for any other new 920 owners, especially those who are newly arriving from Android or iOS:

Icons shown on the Lumia 920

On the left of that page is a listing of the other contents of the user manual too, so this is a handy page to bookmark.

Useful info. Thanks.

Here's the official MS page about the icons. It says it's for WP7 but the info is valid for WP8 as well. It has a few that are missing on the Nokia page:

I always kept forgetting what the 'vibrate' icon meant. I thought it was telling me my phone smelled bacon nearby. (oooo, future feature idea!!!!)
