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
