Can anyone tell me what this is and why it shows up randomly? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I've got an issue with something appearing at random on my N5 and I have no idea what is causing it or how to make it stop. Occasionally I get a blue bar with an "@" and a number behind it along with an "ok" button below it which appears on my phone at random times. I have to hit the ok button to get it to disappear. I don't know what it is or what it's for. It comes up randomly and with no specific action on my part triggering it. Last time was a few minutes ago not long after I opened the play store. Another time it happened not long after I opened Boat Browser. Other times it will pop up when I'm just navigating menus. I posted a screenshot to show what I mean. Does anyone know what this is?
FYI, I'm running Purity Rom, and using Nova Launcher. Don't know if that's relevant. Thanks

Phone on keyboard slide

I don't know if I just never noticed this since I just got the phone on Friday but every time I slide out the keyboard, it'll show the landscape home screen for a few seconds and then open up the phone and I have to hit home to get back. Same when I slide the keyboard back in. I have changed a couple things like the clock, icons, slider, landscape icons, and so that the portrait left softkey opens contacts instead of phone. Any ideas? Thanks!
im actually having the same problem, everytime i open up the phone say to respond to a text message or something the phone screen (dialer screen) pops up and i have to close it and then go back to my text message inbox.
anyone know whats causing this?
This is a known problem that HTC needs to do something about. Some of the custom ROM's tend to do this with less frequency.
Same problem here! Have had the phone for around 3 weeks, just started happening yesterday.
Any solutions?
Thread isn't getting much attention.
I flashed NATF's latest Raphael RoOM (4.1) around a week ago, and I haven't had the problem again.

I believe theres a reg edit for this, but you must re enable it after a while.
Hi i had thesame problem, is something to do with animated taskbar icons, uninstal them and see whats hapened

[Q] screen unresponsiveness? and calendar

hey guys
i just got my nexus s yesterday and i've been experiencing some touch screen responsiveness issues.
it only happens during the homescreen. whenever i'm swiping through homescreens, it would not respond to the touch at all, except sometimes when pressed slowly with lots of force. everything else (unlocking device, app drawer, texting, everything) responded well EXCEPT swiping through homescreens...
a simple reboot fixed this problem and i havn't seen it happen yet so far, but has anyone else had something like this happen to them?
-----------------------------
also, when i'm trying to put a new event into the calendar, i get the message:
"You have no calendar"
any way to fix this issue?
Thanks,
----------------------------
edit: sorry for the long post, but is there any way to get back the old market? the new one is quite laggy on my phone.. (it automatically updated itself the second time i opened market)

G2 Lag/Stutter (CM 11 M6)

So I've had the G2 for a couple of weeks now and I put CM11 on it as soon as I bought it. Recently, it has randomly started to lag and stutter. It's more when initially start using the phone, but it shows up here and there. When I press the power button to wake the phone, there is a short delay. Typing is also very annoying sometime as it can't keep up. When I press an app icon, it's like its waiting for another press but it eventually opens. Kind of like the youtube app but not as long of a delay. It's pretty irritating. I even switched to ART to see if it would go away but it didn't.
Is there a common cause for this issue? Any suggestions? I'm still kind of a noob with this stuff so...yeah. Any help would be appreciated.
I guess it was just the Trebuchet launcer in CM. After I switched to google now launcer most of the lag has gone away.

[Q] Slow Home Behavior

Hello everyone!
Let me start off by saying that i'm actually using an unrooted, officially update nexus 5, updated to the latest 5.0.1
I have no problem whatsoever, battery really seem to have improved, but lately i've been getting a strange behavior
After a period of use (it goes from a couple of days to a whole week) the phone oddly slows down when i press the middle button, to return back to the homescreen.
For example, if I'm using the facebook app, and watch a couple of videos along with opening a few external links, when i press the home button, the whole home "loads" from start. I mean, i literally see nothing for a second, then it slowly loads widgets and icons. After it's been loaded, everything works flawlessly again, but if i open facebook again, use it for a while and press the home screen, it loads again.
Mind that i have no custom drawer (i tried Themer, it gives me the same error, it says "loading homescreen" when the problem appears) but the problem is still there with the stock homescreen. I tried force-closing the apps i used, thinking about a memory issue, but to no avail. I have to turn off and turn on the device, and everything works wonders again.
Is there any app that could help me with this issue? I'd like to understand why it's doing this and which app is slowing down my phone.

I am not Sure whether this is 100% sure, But have heard that there is a memory leak issue in lollipop. Which might be the reason of ur problem. And the oly way get enough memory is to restart. But again, I am not Sure whether the above information is correct though.

I've heard that too, but it's strange that it has appeared only now. I haven't had this kind of issue ever since i updated it.
The FB app is just real buggy. My personal theory is whatever that app does exposes the Lollipop memory leak.

Yep i know about that, the FB app is just horrible script-wise. Nevertheless, i've never had THIS problem. And even if i forceclose it, it doesn't solve the problem anyway.

Text message issues

I know i saw others complain about lag, but as i am texting the side bar with the settings pops up randomly constantly as im typing its driving me nuts! Anyone have this issue or know how to fix? Its not just in text its on internet browser too as i type another box with settings pops up. Ive had nothing but issues with this update ?
I have a similar issue with my S7. Pretty sure I turned this off before the Nougat OS upgrade and it came back. There's one game specifically that I play that has small buttons on the right side of the screen, and about half the time the stupid sidebar comes up. I've looked around and don't see how to remove it.
There's a lot of old posts about disabling multi window but that doesn't seem to apply to the current devices.
Edit: So after wondering why I couldn't find barely info on this, I thought maybe it's not the S7's software but my launcher. Lo and behold, the dock was from Go Launcher. Going into Go Settings and then Dock I was able to again disable the side dock (It was marked as disabled, had to enable then disable). Hope that helps someone experiencing this!
