I have a weird icon appearing on my phone. - Security Discussion

Hi everybody,
This is Matteo I'm new and I'm sorry but I'm not good at all in this kind of stuffs, reasons why I'm here.
I have a poco X3 and it is a few days that from time to time a weird icon appears only when I have to select some file or app to open files (there's not any app in my phone with this kind of icon).
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I solide it shows the same app named below the weird icons.
Is it a problem of security?
I have to mention another weird thing happening. I try to call a customer service number but it divert my call to an emergency number.
Are those bugs or should I be worried?
Thanks everybody.

are you using any theme? If you are using, the theme has icon pack, it contains a icon mask and it may change your installed app icons to that type. it iis Recommended to change that theme. I think it will resolve your issue.

Yes I do have a theme.
That was really helpful thanks!!
And does anybody have an idea about the divert call?

WM6.1 - Green Dialer (New)

Here is a new Green WM6.1 Dialer. This is for AT&T/Orange or other providers that do not use the Video Call function. Smart Dialing is enabled & functional with this Dialer.
*Please back up your device or retain the original Dialer images. It should install & uninstall fine (did for me) but best to be safe.
You may need to enable this dialer after installing. You can edit the registry, use kaiser tweak, or advanced configuration tool.
Get it here (or below): http://rapidshare.com/files/89954651/WM6.1-Green-Dialer.rar
Enjoy!
wow! Isn't this is a little hard on the eyes.
Yeah, well, I like my dialer & comm manager & everything else to match the theme I use. Las week was black, this week is green. You don't have to use it. I just thought I'd share it as I've seen some complaints about "why plain black for my COLOR screen device.
BTW, have you EVER posted anything of use? I couldn't seem to find anything

okay it seems like a scam.
you open the wap page and ta-da a huge bill sent to your door
"Sorry, we need to identify your phone number before you can access one of our services. Please enter your number below with your country code (e.g. +44) and we will send you a WAP push with a link to our homepage."
WAP push message is what you recieved.. just delete it and ignore it.
I don't know who I gave my number to for that to come...thanks for checking that, I was slightly cautious and too lazy anyway to type that address in firefox.

Icons on top?
So since your problem was solved, I thought I would ask a question about your icons on top? Are those skins for either pdastatus or metrix? I have both but I was looking for icons more like yours. I don't like the cartoony colored look of the other icons.
Again I don't mean to thread jack or anything. Sorry

Not at all, I'm using SPB Pocket Plus 4, simply using the default skin that comes with it, which are the top four ones ("indicators"). I know the rest aren't very realistic, but I'm liking the neatness/uniformity of icon-style icons as I can't find (a whole library of) other ones like top ones. nice if I knew.
Cool thanks I'll have to check that out

[IDEA] Operator icon

I remember as that for apple arrangements, in the status a bar established an icon of the operator at what it was put automatically depending on the operator. At those at whom was iPhone, will understand me. All this certainly were modifications.
Can any possibility to make too most for our arrangements? Maybe even any program which will be displayed in notices.
It defines the operator automatically
Here an example of the Russian operators:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I guess it's a decent idea, but it seems like useless notification bar clutter IMO...not like people forget who their carrier is.
On iphone this badge was looked is very cool

Isn't the operator already displayed in the notification area? Or did you mean something else?

[APP][2.1+] SwitchDataSwitch 1.0 : 1-click data traffic on/off switch

Homepage : http://bitbucket.org/nicobo/switchdataswitch
SwitchDataSwitch adds an icon to the notification bar to (de)activate the wireless network (2G/3G/...) in 1 click

It's not for wifi, it only enables/disables data traffic.
What's the use of this app ?
Well I couldn't find one that offers this exact feature : other apps either open the network preferences screen (which then requires 1 more click), or don't offer a direct access from the notification bar.
I'm using it everyday to save some battery (at least it was not useless work ).
How to install it ?
Install SwitchDataSwitch via Android Market :
Or through other ways (including .apk download) : http://bitbucket.org/nicobo/switchdataswitch/wiki/Installing
Note : It makes use of the application "DataSwitch", so you'll be offered to install it if you don't have it already (I am not affiliated with DataSwitch however, and I don't even know its developer...).
For developers
This is my first app, and I'll be glad if anyone could give me feedback about it.
It uses some tricks that might not be fully compliant with all devices...
If you're interested into how I could use the notification bar without having an icon displayed, head to : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286318. This post describes how to code the most interesting part of this application !
Cool. I'll give it a try.
Edit: This works great. It's nice to be able to turn off data with one click. This might help keep me from going over my 5 gigs/month like I did last month.

Thanks for your feedback !
Btw, to help you manage your 'gigs' addiction you should try this nice app : 3G Watchdog (not mine).
Don't hesitate to tell me if you need more features with SwitchDataSwitch !

So, I apparently enabled an alternative look for the battery indicator? Here's how.

EDIT: I AM AN ASS - Changing the setting I talk about below simply somehow reverts the Poco theme to the standard theme. I am sorry.
EDIT 2: Maybe I'm not that big of an ass! It appears the bar icons are the ones from the classic theme, but everything else belongs to the Poco theme (and settings tell me the Poco theme is active). Interesting, Or maybe I'm just going crazy.
I'm not sure this is the right section to post this to. If it isn't, mods, you are of course free to move it to questions.
To the point: latest stable MIUI, Poco Launcher, I was toying with developer options (I will explain below) and my battery indicator changed to this...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
...which I happen to think looks way better than the simple straight-corner rectangle I had before (that I've seen on ALL screenshots, videos, other images online pertaining the stock config).
How I did it is pretty simple: Developer options > Simulate display with a cutout > Select the second option (the one immediately below the default one), then select Simulate etc. again and go back to the default option ("None").
Beware though, it didn't happen the first time I followed these steps, but the second time it did.
Let me know what you think happened. Meanwhile...I dig it!
Do you know that you can customise miui theme lol
