Strange Notification on the bottom left

Does anybody know how to fix this? On the bottom left where you get notifications, my machine is showing a round circle of small circles, like a loading timer. I click on it and under notifications, it says Ongoing, Loading Data, Please Wait... 12:22 AM. It looks like something is caught up. It's not hindering me from doing anything, but something in some small place must be a little out of whack.
Also, whenever I plug in my NC with my USB into my mac, iPhoto is opening up. It never did that before I did some of the other modifications last night.
I have a rooted NC that I then went and enabled multitouch. I also installed su and the Superuser app. I went through the process to be able to use live wallpapers. I then installed the stuff to get weather apps working.
Here's what I have installed total to see if anything here might be the problem. I'd hate to have to unroot and start over, but will if need be. All I'd really lose is my progress in angry birds and who really cares about that.

A bunch of the live wallpapers are going to get removed as either they don't work well or I just don't like them. I've just started playing with the ones I found.
Any help with either a process of finding out what's causing this hanging notification or a solution would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

In general, if you have a an issue that began after installing some stuff, you should uninstall things until the ssue is resolved and then reinstall the other stuff. Then you can focus on the one apk that seems to have caused the issue.

Thanks for the response. I tried that and couldn't figure it out so I flashed back to the original software. Some file somewhere got gummed up somehow. Who knows.
When I just rerooted a little bit ago, I timed things wrong and the root wasn't.....right, I guess. I could install and uninstall apps, but I got a $ when I typed adb shell instead of #. Something was 1 and not 0. I didn't do it right and didn't have true root.
So, back to square one. I now have it rooted correctly and am one by one going through the steps to gain further access to function. I'm only doing one thing at a time, testing it, making sure everything is good and then I move on.
If I get any type of error again, I'll know exactly what I was doing and hopefully the cause.

[fixed] Bug/glitch while opening app drawer?

I noticed this issue after using revone s-off and updating to 1.29.651.10. This issue is most likely due to the latter though.
The glitch is that in the split second before the app drawer opens, when there is a black screen, apps are showing up in a huge way. It's similar to subliminal messaging in a movie frame or something. It's hard to explain, so i just took a video. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z2hrbrkCA8. its more clearly visible in the last few seconds of the clip.
My question for you guys: has anyone else noticed this issue? What software are you running, and what have you done to your phones? Is anyone besides me even expiriencing this? I'm trying to figure out if this is specific only to my phone, sprint htc Ones, sprint htc ones with 1.29.651.10, all HTC ones with that software version, etc. Lemme know your story
PS, im completely stock aside from unlocking and s-off with revone. I also sent the following email to HTC:
I'm having a weird issue/glitch with my Sprint HTC One. When opening the app drawer, for a split second, it shows some of my app icons very huge over a black background. While this does not effect functionality, it is very ugly to look at for an otherwise beautiful phone. I noticed this after updating my software to 1.29.651.10. Can you please tell me more about this? Is this specific to the 1.29.651.10 software? Or specific only to the sprint version? Or specific to only my phone? It seems very weird that this is happening, and i want to resolve it somehow. I have no clue where to start though (thats why i'm asking you).
Heres the youtube link with a video of the bug: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z2hrbrkCA8. I'm also attaching the video. Its most apparent in the bottom right and top left corner of the app drawer, and its more easily seen in the last 8 or so seconds of the video.
Thanks and i look forward to hearing from you.
Update:[solved] i guess something wasnt cleanly installed. After a factory reset it functions normally. I was stock software (not rooted) so a factory reset didnt even occur to me

HTC One dots instead of name

Hi all,
Maybe one week before I found that I have dots instead of name of the menu.
Sometimes I can see the name sometime I can see only 3 dots.
The issue is observerd on camera and mail HTC sense 5.5 applications.
HTC One M7 4.4.2 stock, latest updates
Can you help me how to solve the problem?
Please find attached two screenshots - one with the issue seen and one when everything is ok.

Try to reboot the device and see if that persists

I already tried that, it's ok for a while but then again the same issue. I found one strange relation (maybe) when my mail accounts start to sync the new messages and the issue happens immediately. I'm not sure if there is connection.

I have the same issue also. Only just got the One yesterday, and updated straight to 4.4.2 OTA and have noticed this. It seems to do it on random apps. Sometimes in Messages, sometimes not.
Also in Messages if the name is long, it doesn't sometimes stretch the little dropdown arrow for the entire name.
Looks like there are a few niggles in the latest update.

Wow sometimes Android shows with the strangest problems. See if clearing cache and dalvik cache will clear it up.

Can I do it without root and customer recovery. I'm running full stock 4.4.2 without root. I want to avoid reset to factory settings.

Oh I thought you were rooted. But wiping cache and dalvik cache needs a custom recovery. It's even more surprising to see this happening on a stock device.

Experiencing the same
Hi all,
I am experiencing the same issue.
Non-rooted, stock 4.4.2 running sense 5.5, Verizon
I've tried changing my system font size & the text sizes, anywhere from Small to huge, I've rebooted multiple times. I am still experiencing this issue.
Ive attached four images to this showing what I'm experiencing, the gray boxes are information I've edited out, but the dots are still there.
It's happening in most system apps, Messaging, Mail, Gallery.

FYI this is the official answer from HTC support regarding the issue:
=================================================
In regards to your enquiry, please try the following steps:
- Please try to Soft Reset the phone (restart your device)
If this doesn't resolve your issue then unfortunately you need to perform Factory Data Reset of your phone. You can do that by:
Please press MENU on the Home screen, then tap Settings> back up and reset > Reset phone.
NOTE: Resetting your handset to factory or manufacturer's default setting will delete all the data stored on your phone memory, please back up your files first.
We hope that this has helped you with your issue.
if it will not help you , you might have hardware issue , so we recommend to you to contact our repair center through our point of collection
==================================================
If I make factory reset who will install/configure all my applications/news/mail accounts.
Android should have much better system for deleting cache and dalvik cache other than root.

I spoke with HTC Support, they told me to run through a few steps, started with a reboot to safe mode, clearing the sense cache, and a factory restore.
The factory restore resolved it for a few minutes, but the issue reappeared.
It seems to be related to the pinch-to-change text size in the messaging application.
EDIT: I'm reaching out to HTC Support again-

LastPass is the culprit
I've been through multiple factory resets and adding applications one by one.
The problem is caused by LastPass. The auto-fill into apps feature.
I've sent a support ticket into LP, I suggest you all do the same, but it does not appear when that is disabled. Appears when it is enabled, and goes away once I disable it.
Seems like it doesn't play well with Sense :/

You are the saver !!!! Thanks a lot for this valuable information.
As soon as I disabled Last Pass autofill options in "Accessibility" screen everything went back to normal.
Thank you once again and have a nice day!

One ticket with the issue opened in Last Pass support system from my side also!
Let's see what will happen

It's funny. I'd kind of had a hunch it was that. I turned it off on my phone as all apps had been installed, and hadn't seen it since. It must be something to do with the new overlay feature they have, which is really useful! Good spot though :laugh:

Photos not showing up after taking pictures

ok i searched this issue but found nothing useful or helpful to fix this but every picture i take seems to dissappear after a few minutes and all i get is a gray triangle with an ! mark inside it for all pictures taken by the camera. anyone else have this issue?
im on bady boyz rom
rooted s-offed
h/k m8

No body is having issues with pictures not displaying correctly?? Im on ViperONEM8 rom but it did this on the stock rom and badboyz as well. must not be rom related but i dont know so sum one have any ideas what the issue is? thanks

Have you tried changing the storage location? Also, are you restoring your gallery each time you try a new ROM? You could have the folder hidden on accident and as you restore the gallery that folder becomes hidden again. See if you cannot find the photos another way, for example: Quickpic or ES File Browser.

thank you for helping.
unfortunately yes i did try changing the storage location, in the camera app i changed it to ext sdcard & phone storage both same issue. also i used the Xposed module "Downloads2SD" & "Pictures2SD" both to change the location but still same issue. as for restoring my gallery, no i dont restore it at all when installing new rom. unless somehow it automatically restores from my google account but i dont think it does.
I also have used Root Browser & ES File Explorer to look in every directory on phone and sdcard for the pictures and they cant be found anywhere.
thanks again for replying and trying to help appreciate it much. any other ideas tho?

What happens when you use a different camera app? If that doesn't work either I would suggest an RUU. If an RUU doesn't work I would suggest returning the phone.

still not working with other camera apps. im gonna try RUUing once and see if it still does it. i took a few pics today and all seemed fine until i went to view them later on then they were just displaying the gray triangle thing.. one pic was there and viewed fine one sec then the next its just like the others. i just looked in the gallery now and it shows the previews of these pics but i tap to open them and get the triangle again. its weird & really frustrating i took tons of great pics over the time with this phone and lost them all from this, except of course the stupid test shots ive taken of my wall or whatever pointless shots.. they seem to stay fine its just the important ones that wont.. aarrrghhh gonna RUU right now.
here is a screenshot of what displays for the pictures.. View attachment 2782818

come on isnt anybody having issues with pictures similiar at all?!
pictures i take sometimes show with parts of it having a section thats gray.. usually more then 50% of the pic is that way otherwise there is no pic just a black screen with the ! as shown in previous post here. can anyone please help me. ive lost a lot of important good pics due to this.
you all have always helped me with any issues ive had.. thanks for all that. and thanks for your help with this.

I am having the same issue i moved all my pictures to the external storage card to free up space but now the pics are in limbo i cant find them i just have the triangle where they use to be. the same thing holds true for apps

im beginning to suspect that KK write protection with the external sdcard is the culprit for this but im on viperonem8 and have tried the fixes i found that are suppose to fix the write protection issue and still having same issues. so anyone have any working fixes at all please let us know thanks

I am having the exact same issue and it is frustrating as hell. Especially when I get a great picture, then I go to show someone and it is ****ING GONE.. The only way that I can seem to save them if is when I take them, I immediately share them. After doing extensive research, I have narrowed it down to 2 possible issues.
1) The SD card is somehow corrupted, I purchased a 64GB SD card from eBay and I just recently read about an SD card scandal that was going on which could be the culprit. To test this, I am first going to try with a smaller card that I know works. If that doesn't work, I am going to have the pictures stored on the phone and see if that keeps them.
2) This problem really started to show itself after I downloaded an app called OneGallery, I don't really know if that has anything to do with it, or if it is completely coincidence. If replacing the SD card doesn't work, deleting this app will be the next step.
I love the phone too much to just turn it in or swap it out.

Few questions after update

Hi all
I upgraded to Oreo few days ago, and while in general it seems to be working fine, i have few issues / questions, hoping you will be able to help me.
1 - Before, on the lock screen, when swiping, there was a cool "ripple" effect, which is gone now - I searched for swipe effects option, but no luck, even after disabling all other methods of unlocking and leaving just the swiping one. How can I get that back?
2 - When trying to install APKs directly from Google Drive, it stops during file loading, with the error message "there was a problem with parsing the file". Now when i copy the exact same APK to local storage, it installs fine. Anyone else stumbled upon this?
3 - How the heck can I get black notifications back? (No root). In Nougat there were files for it (Blackframework.apk and BlacknotifactionsOnly.apk) that changed the ugly and battery draining white notifications into black ones, I tried to see if installing them would work in Oreo, but unfortunately they don't. Are there any versions of similar apps for Oreo?
(Substratum + Andromeda themes don't persist after reboots, so I'm searching for other solution)
Thanks for all your help

No more effects on the swipe, much like when we move from jelly bean...
same issues with number 2, has to do with the new way google installs apks, annoying as fuhh..
3. No black notifications until 8.1 oreo. unless rooted =( ... I helped make some of those overlays (blackandredcallui, blackandredV2, etc) sucks, i really miss em. =(
*** caveat on number 3, i think there is a guy who got them to work but he only has 3 themes and can find it in the theme/note 8 section. could be wrong..
