The last few days my devices and wifi have been acting a little crazy. My Mac address on my router changed to 20:00:00:00, Imy phone was blocked from the wifi and multiple other strange occurances both with my hardware and on-line. To keep this from going on forever I'll leave it at that. I'm posting because as I was really noticing that something seemed off a system update came up on my screen and most likely because of the other strange things that happened I don't really trust this update. Can someone let me know it's Legit. I imagine it is but still would feel better having someone here tell me as much. I took a picture of it on my screen.. Thanks for allowing me to post here and I apologize if this comes across as crazy. Here's the picture.

Just found this on the market and it is amazing. If, like me, you are suffering with the Wifi reconnect issues with your Nexus or seemingly any other phone, even rooted ones, this little App installs as a system tool that just sits memory resident, waiting to identify an issue and repair it. It uses about 8mb of RAM, so isn't a memory hog either. Check the reviews. All 5*. Never seen that before, so it has to be good.
I am not the dev. It's just a great find.
Sorry, new user so can't post link, but search market for "Blade Wifi Fix".

I've always found Wifi comes back on for me, but it doesn't stay on in standby, at some point it disconnects.
ok, so the thing is as an end user, I have no idea who to bother with this (whether they will listen is a whole other thingymagig)...
but well general discussion, here we go:
A thing which has been annoying the crap out of me in android is the checkboxes in settings not displaying the full text. Mostly the detailed explanation gives enough info to guess what it actually is about but sometimes it's anyones guess
for example:
{
"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"
}
I'm guessing in the first screenshot "up..." stands for "update" seeing how it is referred to in the details, but the second one... ehm.... miniplayer? microphone?... milk!?
I am using a galaxy s2, not a giant screen but definitely not the smallest either, anyone an idea who or what we can inform about this annoyance?
Thanks!
I've looked everywhere, and I can't find a fix for this. Could somebody help me with this?
1- Phone didn't drop or receive any physical damage.
2- It started randomly doing it a few days ago. Dunno why.
3- It happens when returning to home, opening pages with too many images, watching videos (sometimes), taking photos with the camera, playing (sometimes), and so on.

Odd. It looks kind of like an animation got stuck. Uncertain what would do that, though...
Backup your apps and media and try doing a factory reset
Woke up to this all new split screen view this morn where half the screen looks like static on a tv screen. No drops or anything. I was really trying to hold out for Pixel3... no warranty on VZ and they offered me a replacement for $150 (I think not). Rebooted and no dice. Any ideas?... is this a software issue that maybe a master reset can fix? Or am I really SOL here?
Good thing is, the static half is still responsive so I can use it off memory. I’m on the Android P Beta if that matters.

Alright I finally got a good picture of this happening. See the very faint horizontal lines?
This only appears under certain conditions-
Only when I touch the screen and only after I lock/unlock the phone for the first time after a reboot. (It's fine before that first lock/unlock)

Likely related to the refresh rate. That is really hard to see.
they are aware and software update will fix it they "claim"
Until the update switch to FHD resolution. Not experiencing that on my US Unlocked version. But I heard stepping down the resolution helps fix that.
