Odd Blue square in the upper right drop down - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Odd Blue square in the upper right drop down
Yeah so I'm running a rooted Nexus 10 Stock JB 4.3. You know the drop down menu that alets you into setting, wifi, airplane mode ect? Yeah well the first box with the user name. Mine is blue. Like when you highlight something in windows. Is something up? It's just odd and bugging me.
Also Anyone running Hill Climb Racing have all the engine sound stop about 2 seconds after you start a stage? Tried reinstalling and eve3rything. Nothing fixes this.
Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure what's happening, probably it's the default if no picture was found, I think you can change it going to:
Settings
Users
You
Face icon right after your name
You can do the rest

Full (non transparent) background.. is this possible?

I have a custom background image on my windows mobile 6 and it comes in slightly transparent. Its like WM6 lightened it up or something automatically. Is there an option where I can turn this off to make the image show up in its original full color?
Thanks in advance.
Quickest way to do that, in my experience, is to open the image you want in the picture viewer and then select "set as background" (or something like that) from the menu. This gives you the option to set the transparency. If at 0% it will show the full image.
For some strange reason WM always sets the background to half transparent when you use the today screen setup to select a background, making it look very milky and mostly ugly. Don't really know why you can't change the transparency from there.
You could also make your own theme but that might be a little overkill for just a background.
Got it! Thanks!
Ok, Got a quick questions here figured i wouldnt post a new thread, i figured out how to set as background but theres no option to apply, if you hit OK in the top right it nevers sets it as the background, any ideas??
Thanks!

If you view the pic with picture viewer then right softkey for menu, there is a set as background option.
I seen that but when you hit that button it opens you can set the transparency, But then if you Hit OK in the top right corner it does absolutely nothing to change the background..... any ideas

Ive never had that problem. After setting the transperency it always sets it as the background. I would say its file type problem. Are you using a gif or jpeg?
jpeg i can post a screen shot if need be

Instead of hitting the ok in the top right corner, hit ok on the key that says ok underneath the right soft key.
Let me know if that works.
hey Whataya Know it worked haha, Thanks!!!!!!!! I really appreciate it, I shoulda thought of that lol

Wow......never thought someone would mix those up. GOOD CALL. The ok on the top of the screen is basically a X. Always use the menu keys at the bottom.
i figured that but instead of it having a X in the top right this time it was just an ok so i figured it was the apply button but haha i guess not

'Dot' bug AFTER update

Has anyone else notice the 'dot bug' on the home screen?
if your on the main homescreen (screen 3), it should have 2 dots in each bottom corner indicating 2 screens to the right and 2 to the left.
if i go into an app from screen 5 and then exit the app by pressing the home button, it takes me to screen 3 however i have 4 dots on the bottom left - which is obv wrong!
I only noticed it after the new update (which i did manually)...i havent rooted.
Easy to reproduce, sounds like a simple bug and the developer of the activity needs a holiday
The same bug is affecting me - nice catch!
Same issue here, not so perfect phone now You'd think they'd test updates before rolling them out, saying that it is a minor thing but would be nice of them to sort it out as soon as possible and the Carrier | (pipe) issue too.
yeah i would think that they would catch something like that but i guess not. Some people are saying they are not experiencing the bug, mostly people that have received the update via OTA; then again others say they have. I still haven't updated figured i would wait for the OTA but i'm getting impatient..
Same here. Updated via OTA
I think everyone with the update has it. Doesn't bother me any; my screens are all different enough from each other that I can tell at a glance which one I'm on, so I never look at the dots.

Assume this requires root?
Did anyone just try pressing on one of the dots to switch screens, then going back? Mine had this when I first updated, but I did that, and haven't had it since (even after power down).

Have tried it and still have different dot count once in a while after using the launcher But not a problem for me right now.

that doesn't solve it mikeybags, you'll see if you try it with an app on another screen, open the app from the other screen then hit home, you'll see the dots dont go back to ".." ".."
You don't even have to move screens or press the dots to fix this...
Just hold the background and move half-way as if you're changing screens and let go.
Fixed.
Why is this such a big deal?

[Q] Is this normal or some weird effect?

when i click the the right (down) corner of the 10.1 tab to pop up the control panel (wifi, rotation, etc), it will also bring the whole right side of screen a smear of shadow/darkness , kind of like some visual effect associated with the control panel poping up..
is this normal? it really bothers me...
The one I returned did that so I'm guessing its normal...I can tell you tomorrow if my new one does.

I hate this effect. Way over done.
It threw the first time I saw it. Actually think it's hot.

weird behavior with games

If my screen went into stand by and I try to unlock, the game won't come back. The screen remains black but I can hear the game running in the background. What gives?
Off-topic: how do I change dock icons/apps?
Any one with any ideas?

Unless this is happening for you across many apps, it just means that the developers of that one app messed up. Is it World of Goo?

The problem is with the game. I also have this issue with Samurai 2. Once it wakes from sleep, the O and X indicators disappear. I have to go back to the main menu & then resume the game.
To change the dock icons:
1. Open the app drawer
2. Click Option button
3. Tap Edit
4. Drag the app onto the dock icon you want to replace.
Yes, they're world of goo and frontline commander. These are the only games I've tried so far.

How to get spinning circle notification on LED Flip Wallet like in this video ?

EDIT: Firmware update in canada fixed these issues.
Look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlGO2VXvAc0
8min 32seconds. His LED flip cases are getting that spinning circle notification for things like whatsapp and stuff.
All I get on mine is missed call and text.
I don't get missed email alert or missed whatsapp or the spinning circle (which I think is a general notification for any 3rd party app that isn't phone or text)
I checked every setting !
I also did a hard reset (hold down 3 buttons, navigate with volume and hard reset and reboot)
Nothing helped.... I still don't get that spinning circle notification.
Any help would be appreciated.
PS: Samsung support has no idea whats the issue...
I tried hard reset, still not getting it
Any ideas?

I got my Note 4 on the 21st of january, the led flip wallet the day after and I've had de circling dots since the beginning. Running Dutch NK4 build completely stock.
I get the circling dots, I get an an icon when something new arrives but after that.. just the dots.
If I press the side button or open/close the case, all I get is the time - no icons to show what's been missed. Is this the normal/expected way it works?
I'm unimpressed!

I think it only displays missed Call and Text.
For email, whatsapp and all other notifications, it only does the spinning dots.
I get the circling dots pretty much all the time, even when I have no notifications. eg Right now. If I open the cover, slide down the notification panel, there are no notifications. If I close the case, the time briefly displays and the case then goes blank for a whole minute. Then up pops the spinning circle again.
Yes the case is on properly. :crying:
