I rebooted after entering safe mode to check a camera bug. So after getting out of safe mode I noticed that my homescreen changed, many widgets disappeared especially the control panel widget. In addition to facebook app requesting my password even i didn't log out. Should I bring bacj the widgets and sign in to apps requesting my password as if nothing happened or should I worry more ? Thanks !

Has anybody ever seen anything like this? I'm experiencing a black box popping up maybe 20 seconds or so after booting that is unclosable with lorem ipsum text in it, here are some screenshots:

The box cannot be closed, and anything above it doesn't respond to touch input, but everything below it can still be used (like the shortcuts to chrome, contacts, etc. in the last screenshot). This box persists everywhere, including the lock screen.
Additionally, when I go to the lock screen the screen starts turning on and off rapidly, forcing me to reboot by holding the power and volume down key into maintenance mode.
I am able to start the phone in safe mode with no problems (safe mode disables all apps that aren't samsung or google), making me believe it's a third party app that is causing the issue and not something in android. But before I begin the awful task of uninstalling apps one by one to see which is the one that's causing the issue I figured I'd turn to reddit for help.
Additional info: I'm on verizon, the phone is rooted and I'm on 5.0.2
Flash with stock 5.1.1 ROM via odin.
Update: If you're reading this from the future it was cerberus, the security app. Really ****ing pissed because I uninstalled just about everything else because I didn't want to uninstall my security app until I had my phone back at my house (just tempting fate too much). Oh well, at least I've figured it out.
Hi there,
I attach the screenshot to simplify what is happening

On the accounts syncing list there is one entry who doesn't show any icon and doesn't let me edit it either. If I click i go back to the previous menu.
If I boot in safe mode this doesn't show up. I haven't installed anything from unknown sources except f-droid.
I removed any new app and apps with more permission but still no luck. The phone has 3 weeks lifetime. I am running stock Lollipop 5.1.1
Please Help!
I've had this problem in the past with some app but I don't think I've ever fixed it.
As soon as the app loads, I get constant tapping at the center of my screen (I have enabled the 'dot' to show from developer settings) rendering it unusable. A regular desktop mouse cursor even momentarily blinks while this is happening. Prevents me from using the phone altogether, even the reset shortcut won't work. I have to lock the device and go to settings so I can switch apps and use my phone.
Anyone knows about this? Is it app specific or is there something I can do to fix it? I have disabled lots of settings on my device, disabled Xposed altogether, etc. Even tried safe mode but to my surprise you can't run apps in safe mode (how great is that?). Any suggestions?
Hi guys
A while back I received an OTA update to L29C185B186 and ever since then I'm regularly (multiple times daily) having an issue with apps, most particularly Facebook, force quitting without any error or warning. It unexpectedly animates in a similar way to pressing the home button to minimise, then when I go to the app switcher I see it listed there but if I tap on it then it slides away as if I closed the app.
Anyone else experiencing this and/or know how to fix?
Stock operating system, no root
Go to Settings - Battery - Settings icon up top - turn off Close power excessive apps.,
It's a bug, it's supposed to close background apps but it does it to foreground ones too.
Think you hit the nail on the head there, Facebook among other apps does appear in the history of autoclosed apps. Useful feature when it works right, but bugs will be bugs
Thanks mate
I am constantly losing the weather info from the At A Glance widget and on the lockscreen. I never lose data and it's happening on both WiFi and mobile data (twice as often on mobile). I have reset the phone to factory default and had nothing installed on the phone so it's completely stock out of the box. Turning location off and back on doesn't fix it. The only way I can get it back is to add another copy of the At A Glance widget to the home screen which immediately brings it back, then delete that widget. Rinse and repeat a day later. Is anyone else having this issue and any idea how to fix it (if that's even possible)?
Yep, I have been facing that issue with the widget too. The weather simply disappears for no reason. But I had that issue with my previous Android One device too(Nokia 7.1). So I somehow feel the issue is with the widget itself and not much to do with the device.
A quick fix for this is adding the 'at a glance' widget to a blank space on your home screen, usually it brings the weather data back for me, but this is not permanent, it will disappear again some time.
