There are some standard indicators that display on the screen no matter what application you are using. (The exceptions are the Photo Album and some games.) These indicators are located in the "title bar", which is located at the top of the screen in the area circled in the example below.

	Screen identifier. Lets you know what application screen you are currently viewing. Some applications display two lines of text with applicable status information (for example, mailbox % full).
	Current date and time.
	Battery charge. The more bars that fill the battery icon, the more power in the battery.
	Battery charging. When your device is connected to the battery charger, a lightning bolt icon displays over the battery icon and the bars in the battery move from left to right. You'll know the battery is fully-charged when the lightning bold icon disappears and the battery bars stay in the full position.
	The number of vertical "signal" bands showing to the right of the radio tower icon represents the strength of the signal at your current location. If only the tower and signal bands appear (with no icon), you are restricted to emergency calls.
	When the "hollow" phone icon appears, you are restricted to emergency calls.
	No wireless connection. If you see this X over the radio tower icon, it means you have temporarily lost network connection.
	Connectivity status indicators. Animated one dot = connected to the data network, trying to get IP address; animated two dots = obtained IP address, connecting to data server; animated three dots = connected to data server, signing in; = signed in and connected to data service.
	Full data and voice service available.
	Voice-only (GSM) service available.
	Call forwarding is on for all calls. Your phone will not ring.
	You are roaming on wireless services but have GPRS roaming turned off. Turn on from the Jump screen Menu > Settings > Network Options screen.
	You have turned off your wireless connection from the Jump screen Menu > Controls> Wireless > Wireless Options screen.
	Your SIM card has a problem, which is prohibiting access to wireless services.
	Sound Profile setting. When you have sound turned off ("Silent"), the title bar will indicate whether you have flashing lights or vibration set. From left to right, the icons indicate: total silence (no flashing lights or vibration), flashing lights only (no vibration), vibration.
