My iPhone has been acting strangely lately and here is yet another example; I noticed my network operator (O2) which is written in the top left of the iPhone screen as O2-UK also appeared underneath the clock on the home screen as O2.
At first I thought I was going crazy and that it must have always been there, but then I thought the icons looked like they’d been squashed together a little, I compared it with another iPhone 3G which didn’t have it and I also put the question out on Twitter to see if anybody else had seen this.
A few on Twitter [1|2]said it happened to them too for no apparent reason, it’s not like I was roaming onto another network whilst abroad, i’ve not even hijacked/cracked my iPhone it’s 100% stock. The folks on Twitter suggested it will clear itself after a reboot of the iPhone but I wanted to see if it would clear itself and within a few hours that’s exactly what it did.
I’m at a complete loss as to what caused this to appear but if you no anything about it please leave a comment below.
This is what it looks like normally:
my iphone has just have this happen about an hour ago. been googling to see what its about but no one seems to know. ill just have to wait and see if it disappears. as long as its not a problem with it
This has been baffling me for a couple of days!! I was talking about it on Twitter today and nobody else’s iPhone was doing it. But after my battery died and I charged it again, the mysterious logo has vanished – how bizarre! Obviously the iPhone has the capability for displaying network names and/or other information in that space. I didn’t like how it affected the layout & am pleased it’s gone 🙂
I had that for a few months back with T-Mobile. But the logo disappeared quickly after I found out.
