On my wife new iPhone 4 she has a symbol at the top that I don't recognize. Its a tiny phone over two small rolls of dots. The top row of dots has more dots in it than the bottom row. What on earth does this symbol mean??
Also her phone doesn't seem to perform as well as mine does. Reception doesn't seem as good. Using identical cases. She keeps blue tooth on.
Would that effect signal reception or strength in any way.

Sounds like TTY was turned on by accident (change Settings > Phone > TTY to Off) -----
Thanks, that was it!!!

My spouse discovered another new symbol.
My spouse launches TomTom and gets directions; a lightning bolt symbol appears when the GPS is located.
Shutting down TomTom does not get rid of that symbol. After TomTom has been closed (which is only used in the car, plugged into a charging cable), once the phone removed from the charging cable, that symbol remains... and we can, literally, watch the battery life drain. (2% every couple of minutes).
Even going into airplane mode doesn't shut off that "lightning bolt" symbol (which we figure has to mean GPS is connected to satellite and tracking). Spouse has to completely turn phone off and do a re-boot.

I am going to guess you are using some version of iOS 4, and that you are not actually going to the trouble of killing the TomTom process by the method that has been described on this forum (i.e., pressing the Home button quickly twice to bring up the App Switcher, then tap-and-holding an icon in the App-Switching tray until they jiggle, then tapping the "minus" sign for the TomTOm App, then pressing Home again to complete the process).

that does not sound like the active GPS symbol. GPS is a narrow arrow pointing to about 1 o'clock, usually purple in color with a split rear end. Not to be confused with a active Music Player symbol, which a fat arrow pointing to 3 o,clock, usually white, and looking like "play" on a music or tape player.
If it is for GPS then follow Jim's instructions to turn off background applications.
