Blue Little Triangle In Top Left Corner of Screen

Page 17 and 18.

Any of those look like what you see?

the triangle on the iPhone4 and 3Gs replaced the GPS symbol on the 3G. It just means that you have GPS service and is "supposed" to look like a compass needle. If you are migrating from a 3G or earlier, you now have the Compass app as a base application.

When an app is using location services a right facing arrow will appear in the status bar, is that what you're talking about?

whats the purple arrow on the right side?

I saw the blue triangle as well...the top left corner of my 3GS...was there until I slid to spotlight search. Running ios4 here. No jailbreak/unlock. ***?

If you have a background app (since there's multitasking now) that is using location services, the arrow will show up at the top. You can close the app (double click the home button, click and hold on an app in the list, and close it with the minus symbol) and it will go away.

I'm pretty sure it's not the location aware icon, he's saying it's on the LEFT TOP corner. I got it too today.. it peels the corner off the top left of the screen, just a really weird thing. Def not a defect, just some kind of notification? whatever... I'd really like one of those Ohh what do you call it... PAPER MANUALS with the drawn diagram of all the status lights etc & their definitions. :P

Thanks for that i had the same thing - just slide to the search bar and it disappears..... weird :S

I had that few minutes ago on iPhone 4 with iOS 4.0.1.
Did anyone know what is that?

P.S. Disappear after reboot, that's really odd.

Duplicate apology for that

I just saw it too, and in case you are interested took a screenshot. It's on an iPhone 4.

There's a screen capture here:

Not sure "answered" is correct for this post, it seems pretty likely it's a bug, even if there is a temporary way to get rid of it via sliding to the search screen.

For me it was showing up in the home screen, any app when you bring up the task switching bar, and in fullscreen apps (which is most annoying). Not intended to be an exhaustive list, just where I saw it.

And it still stays in the same physical screen location when in landscape mode, by the way (see screenshot of fullscreen landscape video in iTunes app).
