[Q] Invisible Fonts - Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys
I can't see the texts I type in youtube, google play etc and the letters in menu of many apps. How to rectify it? It just showing a blank space. The letters are not visible at all. Also while in a call, it automatically activates AEROPLANE MODE or something else. The screen off while in a call doesn't work properly.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Will that erase all my data ? Like photos and videos and all ? or apps ?

It might do so please backup everything you want to keep. I usually keep my things synced with google so i have it backed up to cloud storage.

It Might be some technical issue that's why it's acting like blank character.

Noitification Ringtone issue (Solved)

I am pulling my frickin hair out trying to figure this, so I am asking for help.
I am running xRom, everything up-to-date, and the only 3rd party messaging app I have is SMS Popup, which has been disbaled throughout my entire problem.
The issue is that whenever I get a text it is playing a full song out off my sdcard, despite my ringtone being set to "Don't Panic" in the settings. I erased the song w/ Linda File Manager, and after that it chose a random tone to play, not the one I had set. This is more acceptable to me since it is an actual messaging tone (1 or 2 notes) but I am just worried it is going to choose another song at some point, which is way too long when you are texting back and forth with someone.
Any ideas?
Edit: Ok I opened SMS Popup (disabled already) to double check it was turned off, and now it vibrates, which really sucks, I am rarely close enough to hear or feel the vibrations...
Try doing a wipe and then flash. That might fix it. If you have a partitioned sd card, try repartioning it...

That sounds like an extreme but it will work
You know that there are 2 places you can set your notifications from right? Once is menu/settings/sounds and display and the other one is when you open up messaging app hit menu/settings/notification settings,
See if that has anything to do with your problem before you start nuking your partitions
Good luck

This led me to the answer, thanks. What had happened was in the messaging application at some point I had selected the music, not realizing the two weren't tied together, which would make too much sense. Anyhow, I erased the song, so now nothing was selected, so for some reason it was cycling thru the different ringtones, which makes no sense, but whatever. So I set it back to the "Default Ringtone" option, and now it works fine. Thank God I didn't have to wipe, I probably would have just dealt with it for another few days, cause wiping stresses me worse than this **** did.

[Q] answering the phone without having to press 1

my problem is this, i am running cm7.3, and it is awesome by the way, but i am always flashing the latest and greatest rom. well i always do a backup and wipe everything. i have aways had good luck with whatever i flash. i recently flashed over to the evervolv rom. i liked it ok but i always go back to cm. well after returning from evervolv and having wiped and wiped and reflashed and wiping and restoring to my nandroid, i have a persistant problem. when the phone rings i swipe to answer it and i get a message tht says to answer press 1. i wind up hanging up on most calls. this sucks. i have looked over the forum and can't find anything about it. i have gone through settings over and over, nothing. i have even flashed the latest radio and nothing. what am i missing here? any help greatly appreciated. thanks, hp
You can try clearing the data in the dialer & dialer storage and see if that helps. Also if you do, export your contacts to your sd as it will erase them all. If that dosent work then I'd suggest redownloading the rom do a full wipe again and see if that will help. Hope it does.
#Root/Hack-Mod_Always*
How do you wipe? Like what partitions? And what recovery do you use? After a full wipe there should be nothing weird leftover.
hi thanks for the quick replies. laie1472 not sure how to get to a place to clear data in the dialer. i will try doing another wipe and restore. duce i wipe data reset, dalvic, in advance i wipe cache and batt stats. then restore my saved nandroid. still does same thing. once again thanks, hp also i am using clock work mod
In settings go to applications then go to manage applications then click on all. Then scroll down until you see dialer. Then click on dialer and force stop then hit clear data. Then press back and then scroll down to dialer storage then click on it then force stop and clear data. Then reboot. Remember to export your contacts to your sd before trying the above steps. Hope it helps.

sounds like you are using google voice for voice mail.. how long ago did you set it up?? when you first sign up for google voice it defaults to have to press 1 to answer the phone calls, its call screening or some crap like that.. just sign into your google voice from a computer and edit the options for call screening its pretty self explanatory once you get into it.. but thats what it sounds like your problem is..
Sounds like google voice thing... are you using google voice? If so, pull up google voice on your computer go to Voice settings -> Calls -> Disable call screening. That should do it...
hey thanks guys, it was google voice settings. its just odd that it started doing that after i flashed that rom. oncew again thank you all for the help. hp

[Q] Missing SMS and Notifications.

Hello guys
Friend of mine running stock Galaxy Note. GB without OS upgrades or custom roms. Just as it came out the box.
Today, when we were having breakfast, he couldn't access his SMS. The message would come, but when he open the SMS app, there was nothing showing up.
In the same time, all missed calls notifications stopped working. He has barely any apps, an older guy, who use everything stock, and the Note is just for him to read news.
I have been using S2 for a year and S3 for few weeks. Not once I came across such thing, nor do I remember seeing any post regarding such issue on Android forums.
Any light on the topic would be much appreciated.
regards
Seba
Hi,
I've got the same problem with SMS missing. All my SMS suddenly disappear from the SMS list. Need help how to check if all my SMS still in the phone or already deleted.
have any of you two popout your SIMs and put it back again? are you still getting the same issue after?

Just tried to remove the SIM and insert it back again. Still no message in the SMS list. Same issue, no message yet.
Well... if that's the case, I would recommend you try doing a factory reset on that phone (it's running in GB right), before you do the factory reset, do try to backup whatever datas you can back it up.
After the wipe, check if those issues are stil there (or not anymore).

Would like to avoid Full Wipe in this case. I'm using ICS now. Are there any other solution? Will consider Full Wipe if nothing can be done.

well if your using ICS now, and if your using also an unsafe kernel.... flash a safe one (e.g. SpeedMod, NotecCore/HydraCore) and your gonna be safe with the Wipe after. Those kernels have the eMMC bug disabled.

Anyone still facing missing SMS issued, any solution?? b'cos I still facing particular SMS missing, the one most SMSs compare others number. my note is stock and not root.
I saw some post saying have to root the phone delete the "sms" system files then will recover back the disappear sms. It was due to existing system file corrupt and recreate it, if not the issue still there.
is it a bug on ICS?

Secret Background Call???

Hi guys. (My english isn't the best)
I have a very important question. Sometimes if i watch a YouTube Video in the YouTube App and want to clear my latest app history, an anonymus call from the dialer pops up with a red button to end the call (like a normal phone call). But there is no number on the screen. There is nothing. After a few Seconds, this screen closes automaticly. In the recent tab is no dialer app or anything else. Not even in the dialer history is an information about this secret call.
I'm not alone with this problem. Here is another Thread with the same problem: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/background-call-t3629232/page1
If anyone knows something about this, please let me know.

Sounds like a bug or malicious software. You should backup your phone then do method 2 here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3405700. Don't restore data yet and test, just update to latest. If the error persists it is a bug, if it doesn't it was probably malware.
Try to get a screenshot of it. Can't help if we don't know what it is.
But yeah it's probably malware.

Issues with Google Messages app on Pixel 5!

I just got the Pixel 5 and absolutely love it!
However, I keep having this very odd and reoccurring issue where at least once or twice a day, when I tap on the GM app, I get a blank screen and can't access my messages UNLESS I close out the app and clear the cache as well. Then it's fine. But when this issue occurs, any pics or attachments sent to me are no longer accessible. I tap on them, and it just tells me they're expired even though the person had just sent them like 10 minutes or so ago. The blank screen thing is bad enough, but this is def worse because then I have to ask the person to resend whatever they'd sent.
Does anyone here have ANY clue why this is happening? It's really annoying. I've tried all sorts of things including clearing the data for GM, as well as for the SMS and MMS system apps, uninstalling and then reinstalling GM's updates (since you can't uninstall the app itself because it's a Google phone), etc. But honestly I can't seem to fix the issue.
If anyone here has a resolution for this issue, please reply to this post as I'm sure I'm not the only one dealing with this.
Thanks in advance!!!

I didn't have the same issue but did have Google messages issues where conversations would take a while to load up and messages would take minutes to send.
I went to the play store, turned off auto updates for Messages, then hit uninstall, which just uninstalls the updates and rolls back to an earlier version. Back to normal. Everything worked well.
I eventually did a factory reset and am now running on the latest messages fine.

Yeah aside from the factory reset, I did all that. Didn't work for me either.
How do you turn off auto updates for Messages in the Play Store app though??
Thing is, if they put out a fix for this via an update, then turning off auto updates will only postpone resolving the issue too.
I've read that some people have done a factory reset and STILL had the issue though too, so I'm very hesitant to do all that.
Thanks though!

The GM app (I'm not sure what that is, GM Android Auto?) probably has a contact developer link in the G Play listing. Take a bug report/logcat and send them an email with the complaint and attach the log.

Try joining the beta for messages? It's generally slightly newer and you can join, leave without anything being wiped, might help, might not. Outside that, I've got nothing to offer.

No. I was just abbreviating Google Messages. lol
Oh it DOES have that info unholy, but they apparently don't respond to messages it seems. I've sent feedback though to them about it, or well, a bug report with the log attached.

You have the option I believe to either restore all messages or not. But one easy thing you can try is to backup all your messages, they have a free 3rd party app, then delete all of them and try GM again to see if it fixes your issue. There might be one message improperly formatted or something that is hanging up your system. Then you can restore what you need and not everything. Worth a shot.

Go to the app in the play store and on the very top right click on the three dots. You'll get a drop down box where you can toggle automatic updates.
Some of these issues are so finicky when factory resets won't help. Good luck
