I've got a W890i and a few days after I started using it a symbol appeared in the top left hand corner of the screen. I've looked through the manual and the Sony Ericsson site but can't find what it means.

It's a small square with a head in it and a red arrow bent outwards at the top left hand corner (that's the only way I can think of descibing it! lol)

It's doing my head in because I can't get rid of it! So can anyone tell me what it is???

Nope I've alreay tried that, it's not from diverting calls.

I can't post a pic. I was thinking it was somthing to do with picture messages because my phone won't send them? Although it din't appear when I tried to send one - it came from no-where!! lol

Thanks for your help though!

Sounds like call divert. It appears on some phones when you first set up yor voicemail diverts e.g. divert to voicemail when busy. It goes away soon enough.

Did you or anyone fiddle with the phone to direct ALL calls except those in a group or direct a specific numbers calls?!

Thanks for this, it's the first time I've seen a list of icons. But the one on my phone isn't on there.

It's definitely not from call divert, I've checked this. Also it's been on my phone for about 4 months now. It disappeared the other day because I put a new sim card in to change my number, but then it came back!

Would the network make a difference? I'm on orange.

Thats from my old k750i manual, i think the icon your describing is something to do with video calling, video call divert or video calling not avaible check your video calling settings.

when you click on it, does it do something? or do you get the send option?

I have this when i put an orange sim in my unlocked k850I. The icon does not appear when i put any other network in so i think this is a orange specific problem.
