Hi, can anybody please help me... in the attached screenshot of my Xperia P, the far left icon, next to the Silent Mode icon, has just appeared and I dont know what it is. Can anyone help? Thanks Darren

it means your NFC is open..if you want to remove it go to settings > more > NFC > check it or unchek it..

What is an NFC? should it be open, or closed??? Thanks so much for your help

NFC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_field_communication

if you transfer files/pictures or use smarttags then leave it on otherwise turn it off
