WP8 Status Bar Indicators

[wpcautobot]

Does anyone know what the status bar indicator that looks like a wave is, next to the battery icon? (see attached screenshot)

I can't find any help on WP8 that shows all possible status bar icons and their meaning. Thanks.

It means your phone is on Vibrate (silent).
Edit: Here's an article from Windows Phone 7, but I bet most of them are the same in Windows Phone 8 - http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/how-to/wp7/basics/what-do-the-icons-on-my-phone-mean.

Thank you ousooner313. I didn't realize I had put it on vibrate or I may have guessed what that meant. I appreciate it.

That's the symbol for bacon.

It looks alot like the baconit icon...i thought that was a custom "active in the background" icon that wp8 allows apps to expose.

I also thought it was BaconIt. That makes sense now, considering when you turn the phone to vibrate it's the same symbol... *facepalm*

Is any solution to see status bar at all the time?

nops. its like that by design. i suppose if it was on all the time it would come over the live tiles and the big texts on the top of the apps.

Many people think that is the sign for vibrate. In fact, this is not true. It's really a recommendation to eat more bacon.
