Black app preview list? Help needed! - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

Hi. I've been noticing that sometimes my brand new 2 day old Pixel phone shows black app previews on the recent apps list as shown in the photo.
Odd that it only happens intermittently then fixes itself.
Also when I take screenshots, it just takes the screenshot as a blank image, despite what app I take a screenshot in.
Had to take the image using the tablet camera.
Anyone else have the same thing happen? And what causes it? Or how can I stop it?
Somewhat annoying and inconsistent. RAM cleaning apps don't appear to fix it either. Just fixes itself automatically.
Other than that there isn't any issues with the device and it doesn't appear to be hardware related.

Hi
I get the same in Recents, some apps show black, no idea why, but doesn't cause any problems, app still loads when selected.
As for the Screenshot, sorry I have no idea.

Who spies after me?!

Hi.
I assume that someone spies against me. look at these 3 reasons:
1. my notification list contains a transparenr/black icon. see image (i marked the "hole" yellow frame):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
how can i know which app activates it? the active apps list seems pretty ok.
2. after i turn on my device (samsung galaxy s2) and wait for about a minute or so, i turn on the screen, want to draw my pattern but it screen tells me that i should wait 30 seconds, means that someone or somewhat has previousely tried to guess the pattern and failed to do so for 5 times. it happens every time i turn on the device.
3. my waze app sometimes loads by itself, even while i'm not touching the device.
what do you guys think?
Thanks!

Anyone know what this is?

A new icon has started popping up in the status bar on my SGS 6 (UK) since the recent update:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It only appears when I open Chrome, Flipboard or Facebook and is persistant for some time after the apps are closed (even if I kill the processes).
Can anyone shed some light on this please?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeap, WiFi calling.
I should have clarified that it happens when I am not on wifi as well. I also can't figure why it would be active in an app like Flipboard that is not in anyway a communication app.
Gonna clear and hard reset my device in case as this seems to me a little suspicious.
There is an option to turn it on or off in the notification center.
I dont have that option on my notification but it is the right icon so at least I know what it is.
Thanks for the advice guys 😀

Caller Id/Incoming call screen

{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
UPDATE:
Resolved. Did not write it down, but found a running service I didnt recognize and disabled it - issue is gone.
Recently, this caller id/incoming call screen began popping up. If you hit answer, it will open to Samsung stock screen and let you swipe to answer. If you reject call, it just ends. I am up to date per Sprint (Android 7.0, Samsung 8.1, 4.4.16-11982677 kernel)
I cannot find any apps or running processes that could be causing it. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
TIA
Need an update on how to fix this.
Same problem. Driving me nuts.
Can anyone identify which service has taken over my phone answering screen?
Flashlight app. Idk how or why but when I uninstalled flashlight app this stopped. It took over my lock screen too
YES!!!
Removed flashlight app - problem solved. ?

Phone Dialer Sorting

So here is an issue so dumb, it shouldn't even be an issue, but here we are. The contact list in the stock dialer doesn't app doesn't sort correctly.
You can see here that in the settings screen, it it set to sort by first name:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And it works correctly in the standalone contacts app:
But in the dialer app is apparently like, "whatever, YOLO", and just does whatever the hell it wants:
So as a first time OnePlus user I'm a little out of the loop here. Is there a fix or a hidden setting for this I'm not seeing? Is it a known issue that might get fixed some day? Or is this a "feature", and how many other "features" can I look forward to?
Hey HeyMrDeadMan,
did you resolve the issue? In my case sorting is correct for some time (a few days) and then reverts to LastName, FirstName. Rebooting the phone corrects the sort. I am at my wits end.
Let me know.
Cheers!

[Bug-OP8T] Quick settings tile, time, and Icons on the right shifts upwards

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to ask if anybody else experienced this. It only happens when there's no notification. The tile for the quick settings, time, and icons on the right shifts upwards clipping with the camera cutouts lower half. It's kinda irritating to see and I was wondering if I'm the only one experiencing this.

**screenshots doesnt capture the issue thats why I had to take a picture of it
**already tried clearing cache
**already tried changing fonts and display scale

Did you try resetting the tiles?
I just did but sadly it didn't help.
I think the culprit might be the bubbles from messenger. I stopped using it and it hasn't done it again in a while.
