[Q] Unknown App Flashing When Toggling Wifi

Last night I was at home and noticed my wifi wasn't on, so I used the quick settings in the shade to toggle it. After a few seconds, wifi connected, and some unknown app took focus and closed repeatedly. After a few moments, it stopped and all was well.
I thought it was strange, so I turned wifi back off and the same thing happened. I rebooted, tried again, and got the same result. I was trying to think of a way to see what was happening, so I tried using the Screen Record function in Gravity Box, which didn't help much, because it happens so fast, and no info is displayed, just a black window that goes away quickly.
I then turned on the CPU usage in Developer Options to see if anything consistently came to the top when toggling. I saw a few apps each time Plume (Twitter), and Maildroid (email) were two of them. Both of these apps behave differently on wifi and 3G/4G (push vs. pull), so thought -maybe- it could be something with that. I uninstalled both of those, rebooted and tried again, getting the same result.
I recorded the screen when this was happening with the CPU usage displayed, and was wondering if anyone has any ideas? I don't really want to uninstall and reinstall EVERY app on my phone, so I was hoping someone may have seen this before or see something I'm missing when watching it happen.

Thanks for any input anyone can offer!

Do you check virus from your phone ?

I am also having this, seems to be due to 4.4.2 OTA, which I continue to delay as I am rooted.
Mine doens't only happen with wifi change, but also just randomly when using hangouts, keyboard stays out but hangouts min -> maxes quickly. I have tried freezing the update apps but it apparently didn't do anything as I was still asked to update earlier.

Only hangouts? I have that app disabled.in the app settings.

I can't say for sure that being on 4.4.2 fixed it, but I am on 4.4.2 now and it is not happening anymore.
I unlocked my bootloader and did the 4.4.2 SBF, unlocked and rooted. I installed probably 99% of the same apps (only ditched 1-2 that I never used anymore) and I am not having the flashing issue anymore.
Hard to tell for certain if the pending OTA was the cause, but it may have been.

[Q] Apps pretend to switch to last app, but stays in current app

I've been experiencing this strange issue that I've never seen on any phone before. Nothing has happened recently to coincide with this.
The animation where the app shrinks away and then is replaced with app I'm fast switching to appears, except the same app comes back, as if it was fake switching apps. I don't do anything to cause this. It just randomly happens quite frequently.
Any thoughts?
Stock 4.4.2, rooted. Xposed. GravityBox

Temporarily disable Xposed / GravityBox and see if these issues disappear. Post back, and we may be better able to help you troubleshoot the issue.

I temporarily disabled GravityBox and it was fixed. Great, right? So I enable again and it still works. Awesome! Fast forward to this morning, it's back. ?

[Q] Occasional random device restarting after root?

Just wanted to see if this has happened to anyone else. It was either after root, or after installing Xposed, or after installing SuperSU and disabling KNOX, but occasionally my device just resets. It at completely at random times too, but usually it does a quick freeze before it happens. For example in the most recent occasion I closed a tab in google chrome, then it lagged for a second, then just reset. The time before that I just swiped my homescreen to the left and it did the same thing.

Actually mine was doing this before I rooted. Had to be an app we have on our phone or something.

Strange.. I wonder what I installed.
It happened again today, but this time I was driving in my car and it was sitting next to me with the screen off, then suddenly I notice it's at teh AT&T Logo rebooting.

This also started happening to me after rooting and installing a few mods e.g. Xposed, Viper4Android, etc...it hasn't happened since I tried switching to ART (it didn't want to switch, but all sorts of small things were fixed)

Blank Space in Notification Bar

So, I just installed the new 5.0.1 update that T-Mobile released this morning with the Stagefright fix. Upon install and reboot I now have a blank space in my notification bar. I had experienced this once before and the only way I was able to fix it was by resetting the phone. Has anyone else seen this before? If so, were you able to fix it without having to reset.
I'm not rooted and am running the stock OS.

Yes that is weird

What happens if you toggle Download Booster on and off? That's the icon that's supposed to be there.

Mines does the same thing at random times even if I have download booster off or on... I just restart it and it goes away.

Constant Blank Toast Notifications

Hey guys, so I've had a bit of an weird issue recently, it started up randomly, I hadn't installed any new apps or anything.
I had rooted my phone and gotten TWRP stuck on it so used Wugfresh to flash it out. During this I fully reset the phone to the stock ROM. Even after this I had this issue. Check attached files for an example of what it looked like.
I thought, maybe it was an app that I had installed previously? So I booted to safe mode and waited a while, and sure enough, the issue persisted.
Today, the Stock 6.0 ROMs were released. So I thought, might as well flash it, my device is being RMA'd for another issue (top speaker loudly crackling when audio isn't being played). So I flashed the 6.0 Stock and left it lying on my laptop for a few minutes as I chatted with a friend on facebook. And sure enough, what's floating there at the bottom of the screen? An empty toast notification.
This is a completely fresh flash. This was on the first screen before I'd logged in or set it to restore my apps or anything. This is the screen where you hit the arrow before adding Wi-Fi and such.
What could this be?
TL;DR: I have constant toast notifications and they're there regardless of safe mode or clean flash. They even exist between major updates (5.1.1 > 6.0)

I have the same issue on my stock ubrooted nexus 5 running 5.1.1
It's driving me crazy! My nexus 6p can't come in the mail any faster!

I've sent in an RMA for my Nexus 6, hopefully I get it replaced. I'm going to use my brother's old iPhone in the meantime while I wait for a response from them, and then leave my replacement unopened and resell it on kijiji. I can't trust my N6 to last when after only around 8 months it's crapping out like this.

Having the same issues on my Nexus 5. Anybody found out?
UPDATE: I installed an Xposed module called Enhanced Toasts, it logs all the toast shown in the device. In my case the Sim Toolkit app showed these blank toasts, i recently changed my SIM.
