Status icons
Status icons indicate the status of your tablet at the right edge of the System bar and in the Status Details panel (which
opens if you touch the time).
To learn more about the different kinds of mobile networks, see "Connecting to networks and devices" on page 48.
Network status icons turn blue if you have a Google Account added to your tablet and the tablet is connected to
Google services, for syncing your Google Mail, Calendar events, contacts, for backing up your settings, and so on. If
you don't have a Google Account or if, for example, you're connected to a Wi-Fi network that is not connected to the
Internet, the network icons are gray.
