In reply to Kstewart. It means that the screen is locked in portrait mode, soo If you tilt the device sideways the screen will remain normal. You can turn it off by pressing the home button twice & the multitask bar should appear on the bottom, scroll all the way to the left till you see the play button for music, there next to it should be the same pad lack icon press it to turn it on & vice versa.

Left side I have my signal bar. Then it says sprint. Then my wifi strength bar. Clock time in the middle. Battery percentage and battery icon on the right.

My curiosity:
At times the word sprint will change to extended. What does that mean? When not in wifi the wifi bar will change to 3G. But other times the small circle will replace the wifi or the 3G. What is the small circle mean?

I have an icon I cannot find in the documentation. It is next to the battery icon…..a squished shaped rectangle with a solid dot on the top. Looks like a cigarette with a marble balanced on top

In regards to the little circle with the exclamation point in it next to either your battery or other item on top right side of the Iphone 4s this indicates that a Text or other message has been received and was blocked. If you have Cydia installed and also installed a call blocking app suck a Iblacklist and blacklisted text or mms messages, this indicates that one had been received and blocked from showing. Go to Iblacklist and open it up and it will show you the blocked message.

Have a nice day

The circle arrow point down with a lock in it means fixing to rotate. You can turn it off: dubbele click at the button, slide to the right and see your music icons. At the left thers is a circle arrow, to unlock tip on it…

Thanks Sandra for the solution to the “portrait orientation” locked.

Called Apple and solved my problem. Double click on the home button, then scroll the toolbar on the bottom to the right so you will again see that icon, but larger. Click on it and keyboard orientation is unlocked.
