[Q] Red frame around screen when using

What is the red frame around the screen when using any applications it sometimes pops up?
I tried googling this and for an ICS manual but I can't find one, the box had very little in it
Thanks

that should only been seen in the SDK and not on the final device.
are you on the galaxy nexus?

yes I picked it up on the launch day, can I turn it off?

Can you provide a screenshot?

Also could you post a screenshot of your About Phone section, the one that lists Android version number and other information?

U probably got a developer version. Report to xda mods. Their will be hundreds of devs. Ready to buy this developer version of GN.

I'll type it, quicker than trying to find a free screengrabber that works on an unrooted galaxy nexus
Model number
Galaxy Nexus
Android Version
4.0.1
Baseband Version

Kernel Version

Power + vol down is native screenshot FYI
But yeah, that's the retail software at least.

Have you been playing around in the developer settings menu?
Theres all sorts of options in there that do funky things. Go in there and see if there's anything ticked that shouldn't be.

Thanks for that,
Looks like it must have been 'Strict Mode' I've disabled it so hopefully it won't happen again.
I didn't enable this unless I did it accidentally.

Its something like flash screen when apps do long operation. Under development part in settings.
Not sure why this would have set to on from new though. Weird..

Just got my nexus and same thing. Thankfully google found this thread it was driving me mad.
Should developer tools be there at all?
Discovered my phone is also network unlocked despite coming free from ny carrier. Possibly could it be i also recieved a developer handset?
4.0.1 has quite a few bugs left to address too. But otherwise nice phone indeed.

From memory this is a way of displaying misbehaving applications for developers.
It's possible you've accidentally enabled it.

^ only got mine yesterday. It came with that enabled by default. Never touched any options in developer tools other than to disable that after reading the thread.

Red frame for ICS
Hi
Do i need to restart the OS after unchecking the strict mode options?
I still got the red frame after unchecking the option.

Weird Vibrate and Pop-up issue

Hi Guys,
about 10 times a day or so, I hear my phone vibrate (phone is on vibrate at work).
When I unlock the screen, I have a "complete action using pop-up" with dropbox, gmail and skype as the options.
Another user did some investigation by clicking on gmail to see what exactly it's sending and it looks to be an error report to google.
Anyone else experienced this?

i've experienced this too, dont know the cause though

BUMP.
Anyone else getting this at all?
Running AOKP Build 26 4.0.3 and Franco Kernel.
Cheers

Yeah its data logging. Caused by holding both volume and power I think it is. You can turn it off in aokp in general UI settings

I got it too..I'm pretty sure it is not generated by holding both volume keys and power.
It appears random.What is that?It's a sort of issue log.
Any way to desactivate it?

I have the same issue running 4.0.4. I believe a program keeps automatically taken screen shots of my GN

This is happening to me... any solution?

Another victim.
Another one here.
I'm on Stock 4.0.4 and Franco's Kernel.
If I stop to think, I guess this started to happen since I started using MoDaCo leaked 4.0.4 that comes with Franco's Kernel.
So I guess it might be Kernel or 4.0.4 fault.
The bad thing is that the supposed error log have nothing interesting.

definitely 4.0.4... I'm running stock.

it happens if u press the volume button in between Up and Down (in the middle) and power at the same time for a second or so
try and u will see the report appearing after a minute or so
solution: when u want to unlock ur phone, just press the power button

Its ICS's bug mailer and is, to be honest, flawed. Its trying to send a bug report to Google. Use root explorer, mount as r/w and rename bugmailer.sh to bugmailer.sh.old, save and reboot. Should stop it hapenning anymore. Its more of an annoyance then anything useful IMO. I used to get 5-6 a day but never saw or come across any crashes or problems. Rename and enjoy the phone

never happened to me..also it doesn't send reports to anyone, because u have to put the email address..its a developer feature to show u a lot of debug information
are u sure u are not pressing both volume (in the middle) and power when waking up the phone? thats the cause

Granted, you don't have to send it to Google, but my point stands. It flares up, on occasions, all too often. If anyone has no desire to read it, disable it. It serves no purpose unless you actively wish to send it to anyone for any reason.

Nexus screenshot issue

Hey everyone, I've been having a little bug that I noticed after I received the 4.0.4 update. I don't know what I exactly do to cause this but my nexus takes random screenshots whenever I press my power button to unlock my phone. I have the pattern lock that I use and when I hit power it randomly vibrates and when I go check my gallery it shows that I just took a screenshot. At times, when my battery is low it seems to randomly vibrate again and take a screen shot and gives me the prompt screen for which app I'd like to use to complete the action... No, I don't press the volume down key when this happens and no I don't have any screenshot apps. I'm stock, non rooted... Anyone else have this issue?

Stuck volume key?

I'm having doubts that it would be that...sometimes it does it even when I don't touch the power off key..

I have this same problem. I decided to find out what was going on when it asks what app to use, so I selected google drive. It uploaded the screenshot and a bug report to google drive. The bug report is a 3mb text file. I can't upload it here.

Same here with 4.0.4 IMM76I rooted,bootloader unlocked

Do any of you guys run a rom that gives the ability to use the volume rocker to take screenshots? Have you tried reflashing your roms since you updated?

There it is.
I am about to try flashing the 4.0.4 update again, as I just downloaded the zip of it.

Screenshots are Volume Down + Power. Bug Reports with screenshots are Both Volume Keys + Power. Do you have a case on? I've seen many people having these issues that were due to a tight fitting case.

Case
I do have a case on, but I know that's not the issue, as the power button is not covered, and this often occurs without me being anywhere near the power button. It can happen in the middle of typing out a text message. A prompt appears asking what application I'd like to complete this action with, and if I check the gallery later, there will be a new screenshot of my messaging app.

Slightly tangential - but is there any ROM or setting that will allow you to use a softkey to take screenshots? Or do I need to just search out an app that'll do so?
I find it really awkward (at least with my case on) to take screenshots and wouldn't mind the ability to do it with a softkey instead.

I have the exact same problem! No clue what's causing this. I'm on AOKP M5 on rooted Galaxy Nexus. I can't find any setting to disable bug report creation, nor can I find anything about bug reports in the settings at all. I really hope someone can figure out what's causing these spontaneous bug reports (plus screenshots) to be generated.

Same issue
I just received my 4.0.4 update on Galaxy Nexus, and I am having the same issue. It randomly takes a snapshot of the lock screen and generates a bug report. Have they added some new hardkey combination that is too easy to trigger? I do have a case on, but I have always had it on, way before the update.

This is a manual bug report triggered by pressing both volume keys and the power button at the same time. It will vibrate once when you do it and then it takes a good minute or two for it to compile the report. The phone will then vibrate 3 times quickly when the report is ready, but only if the phone is awake and unlocked. So, for example, if you hit the power button to check the time and happen to press all three buttons or your TPU case (just an example) is holding down your volume buttons, then it will trigger then. You won't actually see the results until the next time you unlock the device. They are addressed to your default email address unless your ROM developer adds an email to them. Obviously being stock this would not be the case.
If you want to get rid of this feature, go to /system/bin and rename bugmailer.sh to bugmailer.sh.bak or delete it. Then reboot and no more bugmailer.

Also of note for those having the issue on the 4.0.4 update, disabling USB debugging should now also disable the bugmailer.

No offence to you. Seriously.
was annoyed with this issue, google searched it , opened a lot of tabs, found many posts never had answers,
I agree it was copy paste, sorry for not mentioning the source.
I edited them and linked it to your post on rootzwiki,
I was in a hurry then and rushed up and pasted on the threads where there was no proper answers.

I have the same problem
Hello guys.
I have the same problem. I have the Android 4.2 original from Google. I have the issue from Android 4.1 and I don't know what is the problem.

See my full explanation here http://rootzwiki.com/index.php?/topic/18671-Disable-bug-report-error-messaging?#entry488123 (last post on the page). Simple answer, something is pressing all three buttons at once, be it a case or whatever. Either disable usb debugging to turn it off or see my link for instructions to disable just the bugmailer.

Bug Report

Hey Guys,
I keep on receiving this bugreport. I believe it is an application crashing but I have no idea.
Any suggestions would be great.

Can you please tell us more information.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I just receive random bug reports when using the phone. Nothing crashes. I just receive pop up with the bugreport.

what rom what kernel .......

Everything is running the standard 4.0.4 yakju. I wiped and cleared my phone yesterday.
However the Bug Report is still appearing.
There are various 'beautiful widgets' exceptions, do you believe that it could be causing it.
Did you manage to look at the attached Zip bug report.

Like where it pops up with an email addressed to yourself? That's Bugmailer. It is triggered by pressing both volume keys and power at the same time. Some custom ROMs allow you to disable it or have it disabled by default.

Really. I don't know how I'm pushing all the buttons. But you are correct it pops up with an email addressed to myself.
Anyway to disable it on the standard rom?

If you're rooted I think you can go into system/bin and rename bugmailer.sh to bugmailer.bak. If you're not rooted I'm not sure that you can. Do you have a case? Many people get it often because they have a tight case that presses the buttons.

Downloads App Always Pauses

I've been loving this phone since Saturday but came across an issue that I can't figure out how or why it's happening and to solve it. When I'm downloading a some what large file, I'll turn the screen off and after a certain amount of time Nougant will pause my download. While I love the ability to easily pause and cancel downloads finally, it's getting quite annoying have to check my phone ever 15min to make sure it's still downloading. I'm not sure the length of time yet for it to auto-pause my downloads, but it constantly happens.
Any suggestions on a way around this or how to fix it? Marshmallow didn't do this on my 6p.
Thanks!!

Try going to Settings --> Battery --> (top right 3 dots) --> Battery Optimize --> All Apps --> Downloads --> Do not optimize.
Only thing I can think of is the new Doze and sleep features kick in since they are set automatically to optimize. Try that and see if it helps.

Thanks for the help and to think I thought I've been thru all options. Just went and changed it and will test it out and report back. If it doesn't work, I'll change the Chrome option as well too.
Thanks!

Ended up pausing again so I turned it back on and turned off optimization on Chrome and I'll see what happens.

I've had this problem on a number of Android phones from various manufacturers but haven't found the cure yet. A reboot usually cures it for me.

This is the first phone for me that will pause stuff. Older phones would sometimes stop downloading tho.
Appears like changing optimization for chrome fixed the only issue so far!!

I guess that would also make some sense if you are downloading via Chrome. Glad you were able to get it figured out.

Yeah I misspoke, thought it was being controlled by the Downloads app. Thanks to you I was able to get it fixed.

I'm having exact same problem but I have a galaxy note 4.Downloading large files always pauses in chrome and cm browser but it never happens in stock internet app(samsung default browser).
I have whitelisted both browsers but that doesn't solves the problem for me.
Are there any other solutions?

If I just exit Chrome, download still works. If I close out the app, it'll pause and I'll have to go hit resume. Maybe yours is same way?
