Never saw something like this. Did it occur out of the blue or after flashing a ROM?
(judging from your non-stock battery icon I take assume you're on a custom ROM)

it just appeared, also i did a full clean new rom flash(wiped everything), but i restored my data (only the data from my apps/apk) and when someone called me,it appeared again,its weird

In that case I don't have any advice I'm afraid. I even googled it because I never saw something like it, doesn't yield any useful info. Could be some samsung driver causing Android to display this red f, but that's just speculation.
If it remains, I'd return to factory images, relock the bootloader and claim warranty.

yeah, i googled it too,and couldnt find a single post, the only reasonably thing is that it may be a virus or something, and it came back with the data restore, i cant think of something else, thank you for your time though

you have an app doing that.

Try going through each of your backed up apps, to see if you can find the app that's causing this.

i killed each running app in the backround, and i found it, its an app named "Android lost" , never had a problem with it, dont know why it just happended (also it had long to time to do an update, so to say that was something in the update)
weird.

Glad you got it sorted out.

Did you flash the gapps from the pa thread? You have to have those for all that stuff to work. Make sure its the PA gapps because they've made some changes to them, somehow.

I'm not sure then, you might have to reflash everything. I don't know what else to try. I've never had that particular issue. Was it a dirty flash over another version? I'd make a backup, do a clean install, and see if the problem is still there. Worst case, if it is still there, you can restore your backup. If not, then maybe the install had a brain fart. Have you tried reflashing PA and gapps and wipe cache and dalvik on this install? (Sorry if I'm rambling, I'm half asleep)
It doesnt look like you are connected to any network at all. Your wifi and signal icons are greyed out. Thats why you are getting that message.

Does it go online with a cellular connection or just wifi? Check Settings>About Phone>Status>IMEI and see what the number is. I don't know why, but that was the first thing I though when I reread this thread is that maybe you've had your EFS partition wiped. I "think" if it's a real IMEI it will start with a 3, but a generic unusable one will start with a 1. I don't know if that would affect Google Connection, but it might.
Also, have you tried redownloading the ROM and GAPPS?
Did you set correct Date & Time settings? Cuz it's important to log in GG account.

Grey means connected, blue is connected to the Google servers. The OP has a connection just not to Google

Can I disable Tell HTC completely

I had a n Orange locked device and have since supercided, s-offed and now running latest stock WW Rom. However, I get the below and wondering if there's anyway to disable the reporting whilst staying otherwise stock or stock and rooted.

I am having the same issue, the best I could do is freeze udove which is apparently the app that does the reporting. When I did this I could no longer open the Tell HTC section in settings so I am assuming it freezes the reporting.

Thanks for that. After a quick search it seems mybreeze.apk is also a potential culprit so I've frozen that too. :good:
Just remember to back up udove and don't get rid of it as you will need it in place for OTA
Is it actually reporting or is that message just the result of an unlocked boot loader? I haven't seen any activity from any of those apps.

As your phone is S-OFF it's technically deemed a test device, hence the warning being permanent. It does nothing to the use of the phone so just ignore it

It wouldn't bother people if it were just device related. If you read the statement, it clearly states that it will collect "personally identifiable information such as your name, phone number, precise location..." you get the point. WTF do they need all of this for just for turning off the security of these devices? That's ridiculous and a great infringement to our human rights and privacy and nobody says a thing about it. They don't need our personal information, just device info, so why would they need to know who **** Murcy or Horace P. is? Secondly, why is S-Off a nice automatic way of considering the device a "test device" if its not like we're probing the thing or anything, just flashing roms and enabling features that can be pulled off on any other non HTC device once the boot loader is unlocked. Who gives a company born in the late 90s so much rights over the privacy of their users?
Anyways, can anyone give me a thorough way of disabling this? I'm not scared of a bootloop or failure of the alarm app, I just feel that if they have such right, we have a right to get rid of it.

ZE551ML Bootloader Keeps Rebooting

As the title says, I installed the ASUS Official Unlock tool (and didn't really read it, as you should) and it attempted a boot unlock without SU. The funny thing is, it did exactly what it said it would do and rebooted into the Bootloader. The Bootloader said (and still does) it was a success and that the phone will reboot in 5 seconds. Which is fine, except it's doing that every single time I enter the Bootloader. I can't get it to stop doing that so I can actually do the root and re-do the unlock. The phone still functions perfectly fine otherwise.. any advice? (Yes, I can get it into recovery mode) Hopefully that didn't ban me from OTA.
EDIT: It also turned my boot screen white, and I also tried to use the sideloader, but I already have the latest ASUS firmware so that didn't help. However, in my loader I noticed some weird stuff showing about a MOD_SDUPDATE.ZIP not being found.. I don't know what's that about. It was doing that before I tried to use the sideloader.

dunno what exactly happened, but you can do " Using Stock.zip from ASUS site:" from here, that should fix basically everything: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-to-apply-ota-bootloop-rooted-zf2-t3127835
P.S.: your data won't be lost, however your app ache will be cleared, meaning you'll be logged out everywhere. So if you have some game and no account, that game state will be lost.
So I tried that, first with the ROM that's installed on the phone the .97 version. Then with the original version. It appears to actually install the .97 version, but that does absolutely nothing for the phone and if I try an older version it just tells me it can't flash an older version. Should flashing the same version over-top have taken care of the problem? Doesn't look like it did anything. The boot loader is probably unlocked, but I can't keep it in ADB mode long enough to do anything useful and you can't sideload a recovery to my knowledge.
EDIT: I named the file wrong in my tiredness. I did it again and loaded in recovery...
EDIT2: That did not work.
You're in a lot of company... There's a couple of threads about this with ASUS reps also saying the same thing....

I don't actually know what you mean by that? With the ASUS unlocking tool causing it to reboot in the bootloader improperly or the booting of the file from Recovery?
The phone isn't actually "broken" but now... I can't do anything to it without the use of ADB.. Which blows.
EDIT: Also, can you point me to these threads?

Thanks a lot, I figured I could dig some information out of the thread. My search just didn't turn it up. Looks like a lot more people are having this issue than I figured.

Formated Nexus 5x running LineageOS has white vertical line over display

I've been running LineageOS 14.1-20170612-NIGHTLY-bullhead on my phone since I updated it. I wanted to put a different ROM on my phone so I decided to cleanup/backup my phone. After doing my work, I formatted the phone through the regular settings. Upon resetting the phone, there seems to be a permanent vertical white line across the screen.
I proceeded to wipe dalvik/cache thru TWRP (The white vertical line appears in recovery mode) and nothing has changed.
Before I replace the ROM, which I think is the cause of the line, I wanted to see if it was hardware or software. I would like to guess it's software because the line seems to push a certain portion of the screen over. Before I keep continuing this post, maybe someone can help me diagnose the phone.
Phone is new, I bought it last year and opened it from it's sealed package 3 months ago. There's been no heavy usage, battery is charged with phone turned off, and I use this phone to simply test ROMs before I install them on my regularly used (other) Nexus 5x.
Will post pictures, but what media site should I upload to?

If it were me i'd start with a fresh flash of the latest factory image from google. BL, radio, vendor, etc. Then start over with the custom stuff(recovery, roms).
To my knowledge, I dl an image from google's site and just flash all, correct?

Where? Cause... I don't see anything wrong on the screenshot itself. In this case, I'd say hardware too. The screenshot captures the output picture, not what the LCD itself is displaying.
And why is the screenshot in 900x1900 resolution? All my screenshots are 1080x1920...

I really want to doubt it's a hardware issue ):
I've only used the phone within 3 months, and with a wild guess for accumulative time usage, less than 48 hours. It was taken out of a sealed package, and was never carried in my pocket, never dropped, nor was it ever out of my office space. If it is a hardware issue, what are steps (any step is a procedure I will try) I can commit?
I would like a screen replacement to be the last option.

System Update Gone

When I went to check for the October update I found that the System Update option was missing from the system settings. I side loaded the OTA and it's still not there. Before that I could still find it in the settings search but tapping it didn't take me anywhere, now it's gone completely.
I'm on stock with Magisk 17.2, going core mode only didn't help either. Anyone have an idea how to get it back short of a factory reset?

How did you get System UI Tuner in the menu? Did you use the app in the PS? Can you try to uninstall that? I don't even see advanced in the menu where the update check is. Heck, I'd just do a factory reset at this point if that doesn't work because something is messed up.

I can't even remember how I got it, I don't think it was intentional and certainly no app. The advanced menu just expands like this, it's always been like that for me:

I presume you're on stock unrooted Android 9. If so it's time to bite the bullet and do a factory reset. If you're rooted and bl unlocked then I'm not your guy. I haven't bl unlocked for a couple of years now or even rooted my devices. (although that could change if my VZW Pixel 2 can get temp root) So with the various slots and possibility of soft bricking I hope someone else jumps in to help. Good luck.
Oh I just looked back and your rooted and bl unlocked. Sorry, I don't really know how to help. But if it were my device I would flash the October factory image with a full wipe and start all over. But as noted I'm not rooted or unlocked. Just out of curiosity, did you buy the device used?
