Issues with displaying flash content in browser - Motorola Droid 3

I have started experiencing a strange issue when displaying certain flash elements in browser. As it is difficult to describe it I decided to post couple of screen shots:

}
looks all garbled and distorded - almost nothing is readable on it
Or this one - plain old youtube:
Note how youtube position dot is just a square of random coloured dots, as well as most controls in the control bar at the bottom and the advertisement in the top left corner. Interestingly - the resolution switcher doesn't get garbled. Also - streamed content looks fine.
I tried removing Flash update from market, clearing cache from boot menu of the phone even - nothing - always like that. So I decided - no brainer - Motorola - let's do a hard reset and it should go away. So I do a hard reset and first thing I try - flash. Worked fine - I said "I knew it". Went through the whole configuration of my phone. At the end - I try flash again - and guess what - same issue again! So, I thought, it must be something I install. Without much hesitation I do another hard reset, and this time including erasing storage area - just to be 100% clean, I bypass all setups and everything and head straight to the browser. So here is what happens - upon first start of the browser and first using flash content - all is ok. But if I move to another page - things get garbled. I tried Dolphin HD and Maxthon browsers - absolutely the same effect there. After some more experiments (shot the whole day yesterday...) I figured, no need of hard reset - only if I clear data of the browser from the applications menu (any of them) - upon first use flash is fine. Today I decided to try Opera Mobile. And it does not experience this effect - flash looks fine all the time with it. And now I am totally confused.
I am pretty sure at the beginning there was no such issue (I have the phone for a bit over a month now). I guess it appeared in the last few days.
I am wondering if this could be a hardware issue. Other than this - phone seems to be functioning totally fine.
Anyone else seen something like that on their phone?

[Q] Mystery "streaming media" app using data

Hey all,
Droid 3 using Minimoto 1.7 (Safestrap install) here. I've been using the phone as normal for almost a year before this happened -
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Can anyone help me figure out what this "streaming media" app is? I was using the internet as normal one day and suddenly I noticed it had gulped 100MB in a very short time. At that point I thought it might have been the Youtube app (which Advanced Task Killer reported was running in the background) streaming crap so I deinstalled the app (also turned off 'allow apps from unknown sources'), rebooted the phone, and very carefully browsed for a bit while checking the data usage frequently. Suddenly it had taken another 130 MB.
I only have 500MB per month which is my only non-work internet access and I watch it like a hawk. This "thing" has now eaten half of that. Extremely annoyed!
Right now the only thing I have installed that might be considered "streaming media" is Soundcloud, which I haven't even run in a couple months. I'm getting worried about malware, etc. as I have no idea what this is nor what it's doing. I've never seen that show up in the data logger before. BTW the data logging app is My Data Manager but I have confirmed the extra data use appears on my bill, i.e. it is 'real' data and not just a bug in the app. I have "auto update apps" turned off in the Play Store and the "system updates" screen comes up blank (didn't think Minimoto would 'pull in' updates anyway?)
Also, I put my SIM card back in my old phone (HTC Dream running Android 1.5) and it works just as it always did with no unexplained data. At this point I don't want to get the Droid online at all for fear that it would gobble up the rest of my data and go over. (I thought of running something like Avast or Malwarebytes but it seems they are only legitimately available from the play store which means the phone must be online - argh!)
Any help appreciated - thanks in advance!

N920T Home screen size distored

Hey everyone, I've got an issue I've been trying to get figured out with no luck & I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. As it says in the title I'm on the Note 5 32GB from t-mobile, it's running 6.0.1, and is rooted with TWRP recovery. Now on to the issue.
Yesterday I rebooted my device, and when it came back up the home screen shrunk. What I mean is the icon/folder area and the screen indicator dots are smaller causing a significant dead space area between the dots and my bottom bar. I have included two photos, one untouched and one with yellow highlighting illustrating the area I am talking about.
In an attempt to remedy this, so far I have done the following:
Checked that one handed operation is disabled (it is)
Checked and changed screen fonts & font size
Changed the home screen grid options
I've even went as far as doing a system reset in twrp erasing everything and starting over
With that I have been unsuccessful in getting this fixed. I am hoping someone can help. In my research the only information I have found to this point talks about the settings I listed above as attempts, and I haven't seen this problem come up at this point, so please don't blast me if I've missed it, and you know where I should look, I am more than happy to read any information provided.

I've shared the photos with an image tag from my onedrive account, if they aren't working please alert me and I'll try to find another way to share them.
Not working. Curious though. How is the rest of the system? Setting and whatnot set to normal? Did you flash a ROM?
Sent from my SM-N920T using XDA-Developers mobile app
Everything is default accept my theme, which changing it didn't affect it either. It's a stock rom and systemless root with TWRP recovery. I was thinking I screwed up a setting also which is why I tried to do a reset.

[Request/Thought] Stock FM radio experience port for N960U?

I know it's been discussed before, but according to the N9600 variant getting root recently, the dev @Mentalmuso made up my mind with his WETA thread unsurprisingly the .apk I've been looking for was there but obviously it's unable to install for being a system thing which makes me wonder:
Since the system partition is untouchable without root (which is not in sight) and this apk has to be placed there to work, flashing it somehow is the only option I suppose.
Just for the clarification - I don't like the Next radio experience at all and I'll name the reasons from top to bottom:
1. No record button - this is the most critical for me. The Recforge workaround which I counted on no longer works here.
2. No RDS. There is a built in database that gathers up information on your current location and names the frequencies to the stations in this area. For people outside U.S.A this feature is useless.
3. No swipe for fast navigation across the dial. Inconvenient manual frequency typing forces me to empty the field then type in the desired value, must insert a "."dot for decimal separation.
4. Only odd numbers are displayed. It may as well pick up the even ones properly (since 2016 it should) but still display them as odds.
5. On screen advertisements - I wish to use a service that is already commercial, why do I need such obstacles in the way?
6. Load times - though quite minor flaw but Next radio has a splash screen for at least 2~3 seconds then it takes a few more seconds from the moment you push the operate button until you can hear a sound, compared to the stock operation which takes almost instantly. Also the seek buttons have a small delay in Next radio.
Again, only the miss of record is really bugging me to the point I consider a switch to N9600. If Recforge did it for me (or a sound recorder equivalent) I could live with the rest. Apart from this I'm completely fine unrooted.
Any idea of how to legit flash this .apk or a new way to record that doesn't involve aux and streaming?

Kindle Fire HD 7 2012 version Launcher Debug on startup

Hi
I know mykindle is old but my autistic son uses it and he cannot handle change thus still using it.
I have no idea how this has happened at all. BUt now it seems when I reboot the device, the notifications bit has a notice saying "tap to access launcher debug settings".
When I tap this it takes me to those settings (which I have never seen before in any of the settings area) and I can quit out of it.
Why is this happening and is it a sign of a bigger problem?
Just to be clear, while I do have ADB enabled (in case I brick it and need to use kindle-unbrick in the future) nothing else is unusual. It is not rooted and I have never put a custom rom/system/launcher on it at all.
I can only guess that this change has accurred because either a game I have installed has tweaked something, or, a particular tablet-crash has pushed this into being.
So is it a problem? Can I stop it? Why has it happened?
Any thoughts would be massively appreciated please.
Thank you.
Alex
Hello. Sorry for the late reply. Anyways, I'm happy to help you. I also use a Kindle Fire HD 7 2012, so you can expect the best results. IDK the reason of the problem, it appeared in the same way as yours. But the fix is so simple, take a closer look at it:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Long-tap at the notification (some program appeared at the top, don't pay attention to it):
Tap "Manage Notification", as the arrow above suggests.
So, you must have the same screen, applications may differ. Tap the "Off" toggle in the right corner after the "Launcher", as arrow suggests, and go to the home screen. When you will look at notifications, a message must disappear.
If you experience any further problems, let me know. I'll try to respond in my free time.
And thank you for posting the question, without it I couldn't solve it (really).
Have a nice day!

Hard-Bricked OnePlus 3T – Managed to Install Successfully with MSM – But Black Screen After OnePlus Logo (Only Access to Fastboot)

Hello,
I've successfully managed to install OnePlus3T_28_A.86_191104_repack through MsmDownloadTool V4.0.71 where the Status of Communication is "Download Complete".
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After this, when the phone boots, the OnePlus logo shows up for a little while – and after that, a black screen. I can only access fastboot – and that's about it. The phone is locked, etcetera, so I can't flash via adb/fastboot. When I try to access recovery mode through the fastboot menu, the screen becomes black too.
Worth mentioning I've also successfully installed through an older version of MSM before this. But same results. The version is the following OnePlus3T_28_A.23_161027 and the MsmDownloadTool V3.0.6.
What are the alternatives? Is it good game? If someone could pinpoint me what to do next would be glorious. The hard-brick guides seem to always point to the MSM way of things.
Thanks in advance!
Alright so I've been digging a bit deeper.
Stumbled upon a bunch of different YouTube videos that had similar solutions.
Most of them were squeezing, tapping and doing different motions onto the phone. Like pressing down the screen at different angles with some pressure, etc. Also from the back, the buttons to loosen them, etc. I'm sure I've missed some of the methods mentioned in the video.
However, the squeezing on the screen and the back actually made the phone go past the black OnePlus logo into the boot animation -- and I thought that was it. Apparently, it hung up half-way through.
The last method they mentioned was to put the phone in the freezer in a zipper bag and TRUTHFULLY it worked after being in there for 10 minutes. The phone booted up, went through the installation setup and it worked for a while... until it didn't.
Apparently, my battery does not charge and it's stuck at 0% all the time. Seems a bit suspect. Will dig further into it.
