Mangled text on home screens?

Hello, I've got a weird error that I don't even know how to begin tracking down. Not sure if this is an ICS issue, an app issue, or a device (hardware) issue.
Several times now, I get a problem were, after a reboot, all the text on my home screen - names for apps and text within widgets is mangled somehow. Like pixels inverted, or boxed over, etc. (see screenshot)

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The first couple of times this happened, a single reboot made it go away. However with my latest occurrence, I've rebooted several times without a fix.
EDIT: It seems like my data connection may also require examination? Since on the 3rd or 4th reboot I was in my office with a solid WiFi connection (versus previous reboots I was in my car en-route), the problem has now gone away again.
My initial reboot this morning was as a quick-fix attempt at an absent data connection. Guess I'm off to research these "radios" everyone keeps on about...
EDIT 2: Ok, perhaps ignore the above. After a reboot made this go away, it has now come back spontaneously (i.e. just noticed it sitting in the cradle with the error again - no reboot this time.) CRUUUUD.

Are you using a custom Kernel? Some 'Overclock' the GPU to 512MHz, while Stock is 384MHz. Some devices can't handle the increase and cause screen artifacts. Post your Kernel details and I'm sure someone will point you in the direction of another Kernel if this is the case.

Not that I know of - should be all stock, since I haven't rooted or unlocked anything yet (just got the phone a couple of weeks ago).
Thanks for the help.

Stock launcher? Or using nova/apex etc?

Hi,
Another thread...:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646985
Nothing related to GPU overclock...just about this possibility...
Looking in different threads in Q&A/General.
If you are using the stock launcher...I think I saw a topic with this weird issue with the stock launcher...but I can not find it anymore
In any case clear data/cache of your current launcher,reboot and see...If you're on another launcher than stock,reinstall...
I speak only for the launcher issue.

Yep, stock launcher. Thanks for the other thread.
Seems to be at bay now. Will keep an eye on it.

[Q] Photosphere and Gyro

Am I the only one that has problem with Photosphere and the gyroscope?

Yeah I got that too. Annoying as f**k.
Screwed up my ppl picture when I was in sphere mode. All upside down.
Anyways it's not final yet so yeah. But still I hate it.

Same problem, using the final Takju OTA - I never get a single lock-on; the point keeps drifting and at best I get one of the three lock light flashing. Given that even the help pages focus on the new Nexus 4, 7 and 10, I'm guessing we'd have to wait for the next point release to get this working.
People have been reporting success with Galaxy S 3, but not the Samsung I9000, so it's probably hardware-related, or at the very least driver-related

I have the gyroscope drifting off a bit on the first shot, subsequent shots are fine though.
Interestingly, I did a factory reset before 4.2 and it fixed the gyro issue! I can't seem to recreate the fix though. :/

Factory reset didn't help me... Seems my gyro is not only drifting, but its slow too. Hopefully Google fixes this =\

Factory reset didn't help me either -- I actually did a full reinstall from the Takju 4.1.2 factory image, because I didn't want to wait until the Yakju update, and then immediately updated to 4.2 via OTA before doing anything else beyond the initial setup.
A similar problem reported against CyanogenMod suggests that it might be due to the specific gyroscope make (the bug was not for the SGN, though). Installing Phone Tools now so I can check my gyroscope there.

No problem out here

Saturday I went to Venice (Italy) and the photosphere was working fine there, now I'm back in Avellino (Italy) and is it not working again.. :/
That's weird..

It was working for me well the other day as well... Perhaps magnetic interference?

I ended up flashing directly to 4.2 with a full wipe, and I have had non of the problems you describe. (Or any of the other problems people have had with 4.2).
I have however experienced while doing a photo sphere that the gyroscope isn't completely accurate. Meaning that if I go back and fourth a double of times on the first pictures, the next dot will be way of and the final sphere will be missing a part at this point and have an overlap at the end.

[Q] Couldn't sign-in error after 4.2

Anyone getting this error? It started after the 4.2 update. So annoying!

Yes. Started after 4.2 on both of my GNex.

This has happened previously even before 4.2. Probably just some issues on Google's end. Not seeing it as often as last time anyway.

Update: Went into my Google account section through the setting page and at the bottom it says - "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly" < Didn't see that message before. I guess Google is aware of it.

It is not connected to the 4.2 update. I started having the issue yesterday and it is random. My girlfriend has a G2X(rooted running HFP 1.9) and she is getting the same messages. It must be something on Google's end. Last time I saw the error was early this morning. Haven't seen it since today. It may be fixed already

I had it too as EDGE won't work. After configuring the AP's properly I could sign in from the setting menu

Had it on my Galaxy Nexus for a day or two, but it seems to be gone now. Most likely a Google related issue on their end then the issue being our phones and 4.2.

Found this thread through googling "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly", after I noticed that my Galaxy Nexus was missing from my "My Android Apps" list in Google Play. Then I found the sync error message in the Google Account on my phone.
Just when I was writing this, I checked the Play Store, and it seems that the Galaxy Nexus is back, but the error is still there. And I still haven't got the 4.2 update.

Anyone else get the AT&T update?

My phone just got a notification that it was downloading a software update from AT&T. It then asked me to restart and now it's 50% done updating.
Just wondering what the update does? Anyone know?

Got the notification, haven't done it

Same here. Have no idea what it is. I'm coming up empty on Google too.

Yup, installed earlier, only thing I have noticed is the stagefright fix.

178 apps were "optimized" on restart. Can't see or feel anything different.

Apps are always optimized after an update.

The apps that are impacted by the update are. 178's a pretty low number but the update was only 80(ish)MB. Going from 4.X to 5.X my Note 12 optimized 600+ apps on restart. Services are considered apps too. Right after I rebooted Play Services updated itself too. To 8.1.15.

weird, just updated and I didn't get that stagefright check

that stagefright detector is an app

It's an app, here is what you would have seen before the update

Got mine too. Updated and poked around the settings and features to see if Samsung added anything that they removed from the Note 4. Nothing so far.
I also checked to see if the aggressive task killing stopped. I'm getting a consistent 6 apps staying loaded after some tests, previously it was four or five depending on whats open. Anyone else notice this?

I just updated and Googled idk.

There's a thread in the general section. Looks like the update fixed the wireless charging issue many of us were having as well as improving performance a bit.

How is nougat?

I was wondering if someone who updated to nougat can make a mini-review. How is the battery, the performance, are the bugs fixed? I want to update, but if it's not better than mm, i'll just install a custom software.

It's been fine for me. Twitter didn't work at first but seemed to have fixed itself without even rebooting it. I'd heard many other people have trouble with apps not working but most of them said it was fixed after rebooting. It really depends on luck tbh. Some people are having loads of trouble while others like myself thankfully have no problems.

I think this won't be the final version of Nougat by Lenovo given it's only 7.0 and it arrived earlier than the date they announced.

if you upgrade to nougat, then make sure you reset phone and do a fresh start
its same as MM :highfive: in every aspect
but benchmarks seems to have improved

Yeah everyone's CPU usage seems to have a high percentage for some reason. I haven't noticed any difference in battery life really so it could just be a glitch. Does a factory reset fix it?

Compass sensor not work after update

My compass is working fine. Have you cleared the apps cache and data and allowed location in the apps permissions. Do this via the app manager/the app you want/storage(for cache and data) or permissions (for what the app is allowed to use).
Edit, Sorry just noticed you are a experienced member so ignore my comment on how to fix the problem as you would have already tried this.

quiet, do not worry. I finally just restarted, and the compass libraries have started to work again. thanks anyway
