Status indicators, Indicators in Navi pane | Nokia Series 60

The signal indicator is part of the status pane, and it is displayed in all states where the status pane exists. The indicator consists of an antenna icon and a bar graph that indicates the current signal level. The antenna icon may be replaced by another icon indicating the GPRS connection status.

The battery indicator is displayed only in idle state and in Phone application. In other applications, the area is used for universal status indicators. The indicator consists of a battery icon and a bar graph.

Status indicators

Status indicators are small graphical icons. They inform the user about such issues as unread messages, waiting voice mail, selected phone line, IR and Bluetooth connection status, set alarm clock, home zone, and locked keypad. Each status indicator has a priority number, which determines which icons are displayed in case there are more of them than fit on the screen simultaneously.

In idle state, and in Phone application, the status indicators are displayed in the status indicator area below the status pane. (See figure 5-50.)

Within applications other than Phone, status indicators appear in the Universal status indicator pane, which is the same area as the battery pane. Due to the small size of this area, and also to avoid displaying unimportant things in general, only the most important status indicators are displayed there. This is true even in cases where an indicator could fit into the pane: only the most important ones do appear at all as universal status indicators, others are only seen in idle.

Figure 5-53.Universal status indicators are displayed in the top-right corner.
