Strange "box" on the task bar (Win6.5, Htc Sense 2.1)

Hi
I've got a strange problem, that appeared last week, without any particular reason. Actually, I just launch a program (Scumm, an emulator for some abandonware games) on my HTC Touch Pro 2, then I quit.
After this quit, here's the problem :
Some icons on the task bar are masked by a sort of box. I say "masked" instead of "disappeared" because one of them is just masked at 50%, and the "sound icon" (mute / volume) appears for 1 second when I raise up or down the sound. I still see the button for closing or switching applications, and I see the Wifi icon.
When I change the wallpaper, the "hiding box" changes color too. So, it's not really black.
Finally, the problem appears also in "landscape" mode.
Soft reset doesn't solve the problem. I've tryed to restore a recent backup... but my version of "Sprite Backup" is finished, so I can't restore any backup made with it... :-/ I don't wan't to do a hard reset, because I don't have other backups.
Have you ever meet (and solved ?) this problem ?
Thanks in advance
PS : sorry for my poor english

A screen shot would help. You've probably got some program starting up automatically and running in the background. Check your Startup folder.

Ok, I'll try to make a screenshot this evening (I'm at work now, and I don't have my USB cable).
Or, is there a way to do it directly with the phone, without additional software ?
In the windows/startup folder ("démarrage" in french), i've got this :
- BTTtrayCE.lnk
- poutlook.lnk
- PKG.lnk
- HTCStartUp.lnk
- DelWMPTempFolder.lnk
seems to be normal.

Here's some screenshots in attached files.
Notice 3 things :
- the network icon is cut
- In the third screen, I've succeeded in displaying the "sound icon" by pressing the "volume button". But the icon just appears 1 second.
- there is not enough place to put the "battery icon" or the Time/Date.

Any idea, anybody ?

have you tried un-installing the programs you are suspecting that is causing the problem?

Actually, I've removed every program I had installed these few days (not so much : sprite backup trial, skyfire and The Core Media Player).
But it didn't change anything.
The problems appears just after launching the software "scummVM" (but it wasn't the first time i was launching it), but this software wasn't "installed". I directly launch it from the files in my storage card.

[Q] KK4.4.2 Missing Notification / Unresponsiveness

First of all, appreciate android1234567 for bringing us the latest version of Android to our Sensation.
However, I found that my device was stuffing from these scenarios:
Device become unresponsive after typical usage (e.g. unable to lock screen, switch to other application, unlock the device). In this situation, the device "hang up", showing the same scren until (Reboot was triggered from power button or removal of battery) Refer to 20140116 logcat
Missing notification (Download Triggered from internal browser doesn't visible in the notifiction bar, but visible in the Downloads app, Refer to 20140117 logcat
WhatsApp failed to create daily backup
unable to install some apk (such as adobe flash player - I hate to use this app, but may website require this damn thing ; is that SeLinux related)
edit : it seems that the first scenario was caused by the second one, since after reboot the missing notification appeared immediately

Exclude app from "clear all" on Recent Apps screen after 2016-03-15 OTA update?

Exclude app from "clear all" on Recent Apps screen after 2016-03-15 OTA update?
On the 2016-03-15 OTA update they added the "clear all" button to the Recent Apps screen. Unfortunately it also kills the Alarm Clock Xtreme process and the alarm no longer works.
Is there a way to exclude certain apps from being killed?

Same thing here! especially with whats app, i do a close all or swipe and it closes the foreground and background task, i just want foreground to be off. This cause me to not receive me notification UNTIL i open the app, i have no issues with this on my lg or galaxy. On the Blu there's a press and hold option on the recent apps, but when you hold it it just goes back to the previous screen. Am I missing something here? Ive had nothing but hell with the phone and especially with the 504 error, which they fixed, but that took WAY too long. And dont let me get started with customer support!
Update - Started seeing issue with 3rd party keyboards, i prefer swiftkey as my go to. And when i swipe the app close, after i have set my keyboard it constantly defaults. this was not present on the previous update. I thought the 504 error was bad but this cuts the cake. Very very frustrating!!! My workaround was to disable every keyboard even system to allow it to run. I guess the recent apps is broke, need to be corrected!

you can install system manager .apk and system manager sdk.apk from gionee E8 ,
I have posted it before on another thread after install it . you can hold on clear buttom it i'll open process white list add any thing want to not close.

Me too i Started seeing issue with 3rd party keyboards, i always use swiftkey. But the dam keyboard set constantly to defaults after the update. Even worst some time the key board set to touchpal that i unable to get rid off, this was not present on the previous update.

L29C185B186 and apps randomly quitting

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

Screen Saver Settings Force Closes App

Does anyone have problems with this? If I tap the gear icon next to "current screen saver" selection (settings>display>screen saver) it force closes settings. I've sent the info off to Google, but wondering if anyone else has seen this.

This happens to me as well.

I was hoping the new update would fix it, but it didn't.

Same here

I also see the crash in Pixel 3 December update. Both clock and photo settings as well as Lucid screensaver. Sent bug report.
From looking at the stack trace, it seems the issue is that FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK requirement is enforced in Android 9.
From developer.android.com/about/versions/pie/android-9.0-changes-all:
"With Android 9, you cannot start an activity from a non-activity context unless you pass the intent flag FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK. If you attempt to start an activity without passing this flag, the activity does not start, and the system prints a message to the log."
My guess is that an update must be made in these file and/or those adjacent:
android/platform/frameworks/base/master/packages/SettingsLib/src/com/android/settingslib/dream/DreamBackend.java
android/platform/packages/apps/Settings/master/src/com/android/settings/dream/CurrentDreamPreferenceController.java
