Issues with app screen display and mail app display - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have two issues that have recently started. I have done a "reset phone" with "restore from backup" however the issues still exist. I haven't done anything that I can think of that might have caused this.
1) When I open the email app, some of the text is missing. This occurs every time (see screenshot)
2) When I go into the app screen, the center of the screen darkens however the top and bottom bars remain at current brightness. This occurs about 30% of the time (see screenshot)
Hoping someone can help me.

It appears that the app "PasswordBox" was causing the mail app screen to view incorrectly.

Serious bug when making calls

There is a serious bug with the built in phone app , I was wondering whether any of you are suffering this.
When you dial a number manually and hit the arrow to delete one of the digits, the phone goes berzerk, starts dialing loads of 0pw00's and locks up.
Same happens when scrolling through the contacts on the phone app (not the standard contacts app) and tapping the forward hardkey to change from say a Mobile number to a Home number for the listed contact
Nop just tried it all is good.
Not experienced that problem, but i have experienced another problem in the phone app.
when you select a contact in the phone app, and push either left or right on the scroll wheel to select the next available number in the contact, i.e. business, home, mobile2, etc, it will just keep scrolling until you reset the phone. really annoying if you want to select a number other than the default number for the contact.

Yes Yes! I just tested it and it happens.
The thing is, I managed to break out of the loop.. Not sure how, but I kinda repeatedly pressed all the HW buttons, etc
Now I can't reproduce it.. hmmmm

happens here also but only if i try changing the number with the "go right" button. "go left" works. interesting because it is the third ROM and in all 3 of them i had the same problem.
My problem go so worse that I could not press any hardware buttons in the phone app. Sadly I had to hard reset. Now the problem has disappeared, but I have yet to install any apps onto my device..
I have none of the above problems

Got the same problem on the call history but not all the time
French rom 1.37.406.1
Got another two annoying bugs:
- the clock that show minutes after minutes non stop (1Minute per second)
- a part of screen not updating on the SMS/MMS application
Okay the bug has returned sadly... After I spent hours reinstalling all of my apps.
The problem is not limited to the phone app, it happens when I tap any key on the SIP or press any hardware button - a bunch of text is pasted.
I created a txt document and tapped a button so I could copy all of the crap it pastes,
it is attached
This is driving me nuts and makes the phone unusable. Im certain this is the fault of software rather than hardware. Can anyone help?

To me it seems like one of the 3rd party apps that you installed is causing this. If it was me, after a hard reset I would test it after installing each app to find the guilty one.

Same here. But luckily I don't have to reset the phone. By pressing some buttons randomly I get it out of the loop. But it's annoying all the same! Doesn't happen every time though... that's quite strange. Don't know why it goes wrong, so I can't do anything about it.
i have the same problem!! hope the coming new rom can help!
Could be a third party app, I thought. So curiously I went through my installed apps list. First on the list was remote desktop mobile (the new version with the device mapping feature which doesnt actually work) - So, I uninstalled that and voila, the bug has disappeared.
Bad news is that I really need remote desktop. Perhaps I installed a bad CAB. Anyone have a decent cab that is proven to work?

Bugs, Problems, Workarounds & Tips

Okay, perhaps a consolidated thread of verified problems and potential workarounds might be good for the forum.
I'll list what I know here and try and keep it updated. I don't intend on this thread to become a duplicated discussion thread so I'll link to other discussion threads from this one if they exist.
If you're posting a problem in this thread, please also post how you've verified the problem and on what software versions! Please don't use this thread to post "how do I" or "it keeps rebooting" because that doesn't help anyone.

Problems/Bugs:
Can't connect to WiFi-G access point with a long and complex password Android v2.2.2, Cisco Linksys WRT-400N. Password examples:
(Don'tHitMeHardOnTheHead!At0934) - does not work
ferrari99 - does work
I would appreciate independent verification of this.
Music control returns to notification shade after being disabled and after a reboot.
Doesn't happen all of the time, may be related to using ADB
Box in music app remains unchecked and must be checked and unchecked again to make controls disappear again.
Home screen displays momentarily before lock screen.
Multiple reports
No apparent impact but it shouldn't happen.
Happens with WidgetLocker too.
External SD does not mount every time.
Can't be seen, can't be remounted
I think it only happens after a "reboot" not a Power Off/Power On cycle
Only known workaround is full Power Off/On
Not sure if it's widespread so independent verification would be good.
Multiple exchange accounts disabled in LGemail app.
See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986385
Workaround is to use Android Exchange client (see here)
Camera brightness not listening to "auto" brightness, but uses the manual settings.
Independant verification would be good.
Workaround is to use manual brightness setting.
Stock Lockscreen showing all messages, unread or otherwise
Only happens if you use an alternative Messaging app (HandCent, Chomp etc)
Displays total number of messages in stock app
Fix is to remove/lock messaging and mms apps in /system/app/ (see here and here)
This has consequences (nothing major) so read up about it first.
Can anybody verify behaviour with stock messaging app?
Stock Weather app is not location aware and is slow to update
Seems to be no workaround
See discussion here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992732
I also get a reading of -18C every time I change from WiFi to cell... ?
Phone goes totally unresponsive (locked up)
See discussion here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12186328
Possibly only whilst charging?
Battery pull seems only fix.
Feel free to post your reports, tips or workarounds!
Nice idea for a thread, should be sticked ;p
Lockscreen showing unread messages, even when all are read, when using third party messaging apps like handcent.
No workaround yet afaik.

Great thread. I hope these listed oddities can be patched up by LG. Is there any way owners can submit bug reports to manufacturers? If any 2x follower can recall, in Engadget's review in ref. to the Gallery app crash (search "Gallery" in the article) that appears to be fixed in the retail units as no user here has listed that as a reoccurring problem.
Or... I suppose we simply have to root this beast.

Custom roms may help but if this thread becomes meaningful it will eventually rank high enough to be noticed. I know of other examples here on XDA that manufacturers and carriers have monitored.

Just tried a simple PDF and an office 2003 doc, works fine here.
Another Tipp I found over at MoDaCos O2X forum:
Press and hold HOME for a second, while holding HOME press POWER button once, screen will flash and you got yourself a screen capture which will be stored on your Internal SD Card

Weird... my phone says unsupported file. Must try again. Thanks
about the messages on the lockscreen:
it shows unread msgs in stock msg-app. Open stock app and read your msgs, you'll see.
setting Notification off in stock app makes no difference, i tried that right away.
My "fix" was to use goto lockscreen instead.
I suppose one could just freeze the msg-app with titanium, but i haven't tried that myself.
Hope this helps somebody.

Yep, it's already on post 1...
Another usefull tip might be disabling/uninstalling the carkit app. Experienced a big battery drain myself and read about others with the same issue. As it appears it uses the sensors for 100% of the time.
I just got my Optimus 2X from Three ( 3 ) in Sweden. It has two pixels wich are constantly blue and says that it is an incomatible handheld with my sim card. Yay...

MM 6.0.1: "Screen Overlay" - Pulling My Hair Out!!!

Hi,
I am having a major issue with Marshmallow 6.0.1 on my Rooted N910T and it's driving me nuts! I'm totally new to MM and I have no idea how to handle this, or if it even can be handled.
This is a new phone for me, that was fresh and I updated to MM using Samsung's ROM, Rooted it and have PhilZ Recoveey on it.
After I install apps that need access to my Storage (or some other things), like for example "OfficeSuite Pro", which needs access to my Storage, a message pops up when I open the app, telling me it needs that access. So I tap "Allow".
Then another message comes up that says; "Screen Overlay Detected" and it tells me that I have to turn it Off. So I tap "Open Settings".
Then it takes me to a list of apps that each have an On/Off switch and it says; "Apps that can appear on top" at the top of that screen.. And sometimes I can move the switch, sometimes I can't. But whether it's already in the right position, or I can move it there (and I've tried both settings) makes no difference.
I.e., it still does the same thing when I go into the apps and so in this example, I still can't access my documents.
May I please humbly request, does anyone have any idea what's going on here and how to hopefully fix it? I would be so amazingly grateful!!!
Thank You!

If you have a screen color changing app like Twilight or F.lux running, pause it and run whatever you want without overlay bother. When you're done with your app, resume your color changing app.

If you have root+xposed installed you can grab ( disable screen overlay warning ) module and activate it. You can get rid of it permanently.

"Call Reminder" blue screen won't go away

I have a Note 5 (model SM-920V), android 7.0..
Today I started getting a blue screen after making a call, it shows " Call Reminder" at the top of the screen, then gives a time saying "00:00 This Call Was Successfully Identified", a name for the phone number that is slightly different from my contact info, then shows an Ad at the bottom.
I have not downloaded anything new on my phone recently, I tried using CCleaner, and Lookout apps and they haven't been able to remove it. It's there anyone who knows what app this is malware from or how it was installed on my phone??
Getting an error when trying to add the screen shot...

Blue screen Call Reminder issue
hi dear could you get any solution for this issue???
My issue is stemming from the GO SMS Pro application. I have a Samsung S7 and tested this by first disabling Notifications and all permissions for the GO SMS Pro app. After this, the annoying blue screen Call Reminder stopped coming up. Once I gave Notifications and the Permission for that app to use "Phone" it returned. I currently don't know how to specifically disable this feature while still being able to use the GO SMS Pro app as I did before, but I can tell you that it is frustrating. Hopefully some really nice and smart person reads this and figures it out
Thanks
I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!! Go into the GOsms messaging app. Choose the far right icon (mine looks like a person). Choose "General" then scroll down to "Other." One of the options is "Phone Number Recognition." Turn it OFF!!!!!!! I think that fixed it for me!
Issue resolved
I had "vault" app which was creating this problem. Disabled all it's access from settings->apps>app permissions->
The blue screen is gone now.. my device is one plus 3T

Question Screen flickering on links

Hi wondered if anyone can help I've got an intermittent but increasingly regular issue. When I click on links in emails, Google search app and other apps I get screen flickering and an "open with" box come up at the bottom. The only option in it is android system but the screen just flickers until I close all recent apps. Annoying me to the point of returning the phone so thought I'd post on here. I've tried to attach a screen shot and screen record file on here but even though I can select files nothing shows up here when I select them. About done with the bugs on this phone. Not worth it.
