Spinning circle in upper left hand corner of my iphone 4s (pictures)?

Two arrows chasing each other in a circular fashion is the iTunes syncing icon. It means that you are syncing data between your device and iTunes on your Mac/PC.

Turn off your Wi-Fi for a few minutes and then turn it back on, I did this and the circular rotating arrows stopped. It was using all my battery

  • Why is there a circle in the top left-hand corner of my iPhone's screen? Today, I turned my phone off and back on again and when it turned back on, there was a circle in the top left-hand corner of the screen. When I click it, it comes up with the options "Voice Control," "Favorites," "Device," and "Home." What is this? Is is some kind of new update? Is there a way to get rid of it?
