What do all the icons on my Motorola RAZR V3c phone mean?I have the razr phone from verizon. On the bottom tool bar there is an icon of a man as if he is speaking I am thinking this means voice command. How do I get this icon off my bottom toolbar. I got it on accidentally when I was fooling with the phone. Thanks so much! Y'know, I see some mystery icons when I use my Motorola RAZR V3c too, now that you mention it, and I too have been curious about what they all mean. Unfortunately, Verizon changed the OS of the phone, which means that it also changed the icons in use, so the user's guide on the Motorola web site is useless in this instance (weirdly enough). Nonetheless, with some earnest digging I did find some information on the Motorola site that offers some up some clues about the different icons that can be displayed on the phone, though I apologize that their graphics aren't quite as crisp as I'd like: The icon that I believe you're talking about is actually the one that indicates you have new voicemail, and is in fact nothing to do with the speakerphone or voice command subsystem! In terms of the original Motorola icon set, here's the information on the standard RAZR icons from the user's guide: As you can see, different icons, different meaning. Anyway, hope that helps clear up the mystery of the unknown icon on your RAZR!

For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to access my Message Inbox. I have 7 messages and every time I try to access it, I get a message that the Inbox Requires Setup. I go through the process and I still cannot access it. I think I'm missing something but I don't know what. The online help is not helpful at all. If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it! Thanks. Posted by: Denise at April 24, 2006 3:54 PMHaha - excellent! I had most of it figured out but periodically I would see this one icon that I just couldn't figure out what it meant. Now I know! Posted by: David at October 19, 2006 5:43 PMi need to know a little bit more about the pink verizon media razr because i am doing a deca project and need to know some consumer reports or anything that you might think will help. your regards would be greatly appreciated. On my Cingular Razr, I get an icon centered at the top of the screen that is a coffee cup. Any ideas what this is??? Posted by: Lynn Strickland at December 19, 2006 6:55 AMI have a RAZ 3, cingular service and at the top, middle of my screen is a cup of coffee, what does it mean? Posted by: Cheryl at December 26, 2006 1:56 PMthe coffee cup is you have java enabled. whatever game you were playing is in suspended mode. you can go to games and press end and it will clear it off. what i'm trying to figure out is what 2 little circles with a line at the top that connects them mean. it looks like the old icon logo you would see on vhs tapes. it's driving me crazy. Posted by: Greg at January 7, 2007 10:20 AMWhat do all the icons on my blacberry pearl mean? there is a number 1 with a little circle or dot next to it and I don't know what that means! thanks, i just bought a second hand razr v3 and there is an icon in the top left that looks like either a red g (or clip?) with red waves coming out the top right. it appears o nthe outer screen as well, cant figure out what it is? It looks like a pencil head next to my ring indicator on the top right side of the screen next to the battery cells...what is the pencil? Posted by: tessa at February 28, 2007 6:41 PMwhat is that blue symbol on the front of the razor mean, it looks liek two triangles next to each other and then two lines below it pointing below the two triangles, what does this mean? Posted by: Dave at April 2, 2007 11:39 PMDave, that's the bluetooth symbol, two blue triangles. If you see it then you have bluetooth enabled. If you see it and a tiny additional graphic element to its right (I think, I don't have my RAZR with me right now) then you're seeing that it's *connected* to another bluetooth device like a headset. If you have nothing that's bluetooth, go into your phone configuration and disable the service. Posted by: Dave Taylor at April 4, 2007 2:49 AMWith Verizon, just a split-second before the call connects (rings), I hear two beeps. What do they indicate. Does not happen each and every call...maybe 20-30% of the time. Thanks. Posted by: Jerry at April 17, 2007 2:52 PMNo idea, Jerry. Try going into a Verizon store and see if they can help you out. And if you *do* figure it out, do let us know! Posted by: Dave Taylor at April 17, 2007 3:04 PMi saw this icom today i just updated me roaming *228 on verizon and i got this little Blue icon 2 connected triangles with lil legs at the bottom what was it..it was nothing like the icons you have listed Posted by: willis at May 1, 2007 9:48 AMoops i see the answer above i guess i should have read them all LOL thanx anyway Posted by: willis at May 1, 2007 8:11 PMThere is an icon next to the signal strength indicator on the top right side of my razr it looks like a square and and two house like shapes one is on the top of the square and it is upside down while the other one is at the bottom and it is right side up could you please help me I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY PHONE WHERE I CAN CALL OUT AND THE PERSON ON THE OTHER LINE CAN HEAR ME BUT WHEN THEY TALK I CANT HEAR THEM I CANT EVEN HEAR IT WHEN IT RINGS DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE Posted by: mike at May 5, 2007 2:38 PMMike, I think you're talking about the bluetooth indicator. Also, if you can't hear the other person, sounds like you either have your volume all the way down or you have a physically damaged telephone. Take it into an office of your cellular provider and see what they can figure out. Posted by: Dave Taylor at May 6, 2007 8:57 PMI have previously seen these questions but still not able to find the answers.I have 2 symbols on my razor--a square beside the strength indicator that has a upside down house on the top right corner and an upright house on the bottom left hand corner--bluetooth is off on my phone--also a person who looks like they are talking beside my signal ind.--i have no messages on my phone nor do I use voice commands. Posted by: Lee at May 7, 2007 1:44 PMI have had a razor phone for about a year from verizon and last week the battery bar disappeared. I charged it a couple days later and it charged but still no battery bar on the screen. I tried to charge the phone again 2 days after this when it said low battery and was beeping and it says unable to charge. Any ideas? Posted by: Barry at May 18, 2007 7:58 AMIn response to: "what i'm trying to figure out is what 2 little circles with a line at the top that connects them mean. it looks like the old icon logo you would see on vhs tapes. it's driving me crazy" I'm pretty sure this means you have a new voice mail. Posted by: Leroy at May 25, 2007 12:03 PMwat does the little coffee cup icon mean Posted by: ...... at May 25, 2007 4:36 PMhi, The two circles connected by a line at the top (referred to as similar to the VHS symbol)doesn't appear to be for voicemail. I have this symbol on my phone right now. I checked my voicemail and had one. I deleted it and all the saved voicemails but the symbol is still there. To me, the symbol looks like old-time spectacles. However, I still have no idea what it represents. Any info would be appreciated. Posted by: Grady at May 31, 2007 1:38 AMI have this same icon - a square beside the strength indicator that has a upside down house on the top right corner and an upright house on the bottom left hand corner - anyone know what it means? Thanks. Posted by: Kim at June 6, 2007 7:51 AMi have the square symbol with the two house shapes too. in the manual is says --
Now, I have no clue what that means. Its on page 29. What is it? Posted by: kayla at June 29, 2007 1:03 AMIn the sent message folder, what is the difference between the envelope with the check mark and the envelope with a green arrow pointing to the upper right? I just started getting the arrow and I thought it meant that the message was queued to go out, but I tried a test to myself twice in a row and got one of each icon - I received both texts... I have the same question as TJ! What the heck is the difference between the check mark and the green arrow in the sent messages folder? Posted by: Nicole at July 18, 2007 12:02 PMSame here! What are the differences between the icons in sent messages? Posted by: Waterbizzle at July 18, 2007 1:00 PMAnyone find out what the 3 little squares next to the signal indicator are (i have V3r)?

Posted by: Crystall at February 26, 2008 7:34 PMQuestion... I've had my razr for over 4 months and just a few days ago a symbol showed up next to the signal strength bars.

Other times it looks like a little blue "E" with two tiny stripes below the "E", one stripe is blue and one stripe is red. Any ideas? Thanks! Great site!

Posted by: ashley at June 12, 2008 3:23 PMAshley, as I recall, that means you're in a non-digital cell signal area. It means "analog" and reminds you that you have a multi-mode (digital + analog) phone too.
