Cannot identify an icon at the top

[jwarren891]

An icon I don't recognize has begun showing up in the notification bar at the top of the screen. This forum won't let me post a screen shot initially, so I'll try to describe it. It's in the shape of an eye, with a pupil in the middle. There are three short lines pointing outwards along the top of the eye - one of them connects to the pupil. It blinks (briefly gets bright) about every 10 seconds.
I suspect an app is doing this, but I cannot track it down.

Any ideas?

Welcome to the forums, Jason.

Well, you left your phone a mystery to us, so I'll surmise it's one of the nice new ones with either SmartStay/Smart Rotation, etc and/or the detector for your eyes looking at the device (it'll shut the screen to sleep when you take your eyes away for a set length of time).

If not, it's a CBS ad.

Hi Jason,

Welcome to the community. If what Frisco had described isn't what you are experiencing, then you might wanna check inside your device's area of discussion for assistance from other users of this device.

If you need help doing so, feel free to post the name of your device...so we could point you in the right direction.

Best luck. Thanks for stopping in.
