This is driving me nuts. Any time an application crashes I get a red overlay with diagnostic data that covers the screen. The only way I can remove it is by rebooting. As I'm typing this it's covering my screen! Help me find the setting to get rid of this please
Attached are screenshots showing the various examples. I literally froze every single user app and a few system apps I could except for Chrome and it still happened so I'm certain this is part of the latest os update
Another example showing that it doesn't rotate
Bump. It's very annoying

Have you accidentally activated some drawings or debug within developer settings? Or any task manager with overlay (check your processes)?
I assumed I might have enabled something like that and went through all the settings looking for it but can't find one.
I also used titanium backup to freeze every app on my phone until there were only a few systems apps left and it still happens which leads me to believe it's some feature in the os

Ok, so I have been struggling for a couple days with this, and I hope someone can help me.
I want Android to always run my splash screen activity, because I load a bunch of data from web services that I need throughout the rest of the app. This works fine with the flag android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true" set when you launch the app from the home screen.
Where it does not work so well is the long press of the home button and then selecting the app. In that case it starts the app in whatever random spot the user left it last. The problem is that if the app has been killed due to memory, it still shows in that recent apps list and when a user restarts the activity from the long press, all my data is gone so the app force closes.
So, my ugly workaround is to remove the app from the recently run list. I would much rather it showed up there but that it started my app the same way as if it was clicked on the home screen.
Anybody know how to do this? The ebay app pretty much does this, so I know it can be done.

Instead of reading your data in OnCreate, you could do it in OnResume. See the flow chart here:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html
as you can see, OnResume is always called whether the app is created initially, resumed from pause, or reloaded.

In the onResume for the activity that is crashing, you could test your data to see if it's still there, if it's null you can run the code to repopulate it again.
Hi all,
Having followed the instructions I now have a non-bricked NST with NookManager and ReLaunch. I now have two fairly irritating problems, probably due to me poking around in the settings menu a bit too hard.
PROBLEM THE FIRST
In ReLaunch, my Settings gear does nothing. I press it and the screen flicks and then goes back to ReLaunch (exactly where I was in the first place). This makes my inner tinkerer sad and also makes it more than a little difficult to try and fix the issue with:
PROBLEM THE SECOND
If I go to the Nook e-book reading mode and then take myself back to ReLaunch (I'd bound it to long-press of the hardware n key before my Settings button stopped working), the entire bottom bar has vanished. Which means no Applications button, which means I can't really get to launching any of my apps, which means I have... an ebook reader. The only way I can restore it is by rebooting the NST and selecting ReLaunch from the launcher menu at startup.
Any clues?

You say you cannot access apps, so figure you have Android Market installed? You could try this - Install launcher 7, once installed, you can 'open' it from the notification. You should then be able to access your apps. Make your first port of call the Nook Touch Mod Manager.
Or you could reset the settings in ReLaunch
I have the same problem.

I even unrooted my Nook and rooted it back to fix his. Unfortunately after one use of settings, this problem occured again. Would anyone help?
Undoubtedly it hit an error and died.
What error? Look at the logcat and see.
You need ADB to see logcat.

I have the same exact problem. Could anyone please help fixing this?
several weeks ago a new lock screen appeared - out of nowhere - and now won't go away. I've tried to manually go into setting and change it - no luck. When I restart my s5, my original screen (which is still selected in settings) comes up, but is then taken over by this lock screen that won't go away. I'm running Themer - thought it was associated with that, but I've since cleared cache/data/deleted it, with no luck. This thing doesn't keep time, give any notifications, or swipe responsively. A real PIA. It also affects the notification bar - won't give me my notifications. Same with the lock screen - occasionally I will swipe my screen and see the original notification bar, but mostly this new one. Any thoughts? I'm really not keen on wiping the whole thing are starting from scratch.
A screenshot would be helpful, it sounds like part of another app you have installed.
Hi Everyone,
Recently my phone was updated to Android v7 and since then I noticed that the icons for the cursor in text boxes and system dialog boxes have got messed up.
I read on Android central, one user posted that uninstalling Kaspersky fixed the issue, although in my case I don't have Kaspersky, so I can't go about uninstalling all apps, got a hell lot of them!

It's frustrating everytime i see this... Please help me...
I think I'm having a similar issue... the cursor locator (below the cursor which points to it) is the wrong size. I tried changing resolutions, nothing fixed it. This also happens when text is selected by long pressing, the selector graphics are too large and it gets cut off. It was working fine when phone was new, I cannot remember at which point it started messing up. Possibly after Oculus VR first changed the screen resolution to WQHD? I set it back to FHD for normal use, but problem persists.

Maybe found a clue.... this problem seems to occur everywhere, except in a few apps, namely Signal and FB Messenger and FB itself. I thought it might be only in Gapps, but it happens in a few apps that are not part of Gapps. I have seen other people had issues with the little on/off sliders for options in different menu screens under setting, but mine all look fine.

I have those glitches as well apart from what i posted.
I read online its because of some app messing things up. I seriously don't want to reset and start testing this out one app at a time. It will take at least a few days to get back up to speed.
Thanks :crying:
Hi, guys
Just bought the S10+ for 3 days. All good until today. It had 3 software updates and now after the second one I have the following issue -there is a white rectangle surrounding the text of the notification pannel when you swipe down to see it ( the one with wifi, mobile data , vibrate, bluetooth, portrait mode etc). I am not sure what it's called but I think you get it.
So basically I have the wifi icon for example but the text is not "wifi" in blue/white color and the black or white background but instead the text is surrounded by a white or black (if night mode is off) rectangle. Like a tag or something. It is annoying that I can't post a picture of it.
Is this a glitch or something ? It really annoys me.
Thanks !
I'm not familiar with that glitch. The first thing to try is booting into recovery and wiping the system cache which will likely fix your issue.
If you are using a theme that could also be the culprit--unlike the theme stores on Xiaomi and Huawei phones Samsung isn't good about warning users when a theme might be out of date or incompatible.
The last thing to try is a complete factory reset of your phone which hopefully won't be necessary.
When doing a factory reset due to the type of issue you are describing you are much better off using the fresh start option in the phone setup screen rather than choosing to restore from a Google Cloud backup because the backup can also restore corrupted system data that is creating your issue so you end up restoring your problem along with your apps.
Fixed it.
It's a stupid setting in accessibility - > show button shapes.
Thanks though.

I've never even heard of that setting but it's good you were able to fix it.
Before the S10+ I haven't owned a Samsung phone in quite a while but I'm definitely not a fan of One UI. Samsung baked in way too much useless garbage.
