If you see an “R” by your signal bars, it means you’re roaming. This means you have no mobile connection or you took your SIM card out of the phone. Another one is a circle with a line through it, like a no smoking sign. If you’re using Google Maps, you’ll see it.
You might also notice a bullseye, which is GPS on certain models of the Galaxy S8.

You also use NFC when you make mobile payments with Samsung Pay or Android Pay. They talk to each other using NFC and pair together automatically.

Some apps use NFC to quickly pair Bluetooth accessories like a speaker, by tapping your phone to the speaker. The weird N-shaped icon stands for NFC, or Near Field Communications. Next, the odd B icon stands for Bluetooth, as I constantly connect my phone to my car stereo and headphones, so it’s always on. However, your phone will use more data than it did before, and you might go over your monthly data plan. Now that little icon will finally disappear. Go to Settings > Connections > Data usage > Data Saver > and turn it off. Pull down the notification bar and tap the gear-shaped settings button. If photos aren’t loading right in some apps (like Facebook) it’s because of Data Saver. This cuts down on data usage by preventing some apps from sending and receiving data in the background. If you see a circle icon with a + sign, it means at some point you turned on a feature known as Data Saver. This doesn’t go away, even if you reboot the phone. The most common question we see about the Galaxy S8 notification bar icons is an odd half-circle with a plus sign in the middle. If you didn’t find what you’re looking for above, here are a few other notification bar icons that users see often and don’t understand.
These notify you that you have an active connection with your carrier, like Verizon or AT&T. Each carrier has a different logo for 2G, 3G, 4G, H, H+, and 4G LTE. Next, here are a few other fairly common notification bar icons you’ll see on your phone. These are all pretty common, and mostly self-explanatory. These display when you have a missed call, new emails, messages, downloads, GPS, or app updates. Some of the Galaxy S8 notification bar icons above are what you likely see the most.
