Icon question

[notacoach]

Anybody know what that is next to the Bluetooth symbol? It's not the usual battery symbol, as that's to the right, as normal.

That looks like the rotation icon. Also, some 3rd party battery apps have their own icons.

the bit that looks like a smaller battery - that's the meter for your bluetooth device. IIRC.

It should cut in half at some point and look like half a battery. I don't think it has has grainular a markings. Might do 1/4ths or something.

Yea it indicates the battery life of the Bluetooth device (earpiece) that you have connected.

Interestingly, none of my connected Bluetooth devices at the time were battery operated! Maybe it was reading one that was off...

what was it - if you don't mind my asking? it might be reporting full power in the bt data stream but not have a battery.

Something that was implemented in BT 4.0 - I think, maybe before hand. Was a data stream of condition of the BT device - which included battery charge state such that BT headsets and headphones can report to the mobile if their batteries are low - without the headset or headphones needing their own display. I know Jawbone jumped on this when it was first available.

Might have been BT 3.1.
