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_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"
}
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.

Image corruption using HDR

I took some pictures today with my phone and noticed image corruption while using HDR mode. I'm using version 2.19 and have a ZE551ML 4GB 2.3GHz.
I don't know if the image corruption problem is a bug in the current system version, as I have not used it with any previous one.
You'll find a sample of a corrupted image below:

Has anyone else experienced a similar issue?

Really strange...never have this problem. Camera level of our phone is not very well, but not noising like that. You can try to clear cache of camera app

I've been testing the camera, and the problem seems to be random or maybe related to lollipop memory leak, as the it does not show sort after a reboot.

I had this problem previously. I don't know the cause. I could see the thumbnail in the camera app but in gallery the pasir was a plain green and brown page.
I had a pure black image as my home screen wall paper
I cleared the data and cache of the gallery app. Home screen wall paper changed to lock screen wall paper but the issue with the camera on HDR mode was gone.
I then used another wallpaper on the home screen.
I don't know if this can solve your problem.
Cheers!

that's so bad.try to delete cache of pixel master camera app.or try to uninstall pixel master camera updates.you will return to the first stock version.then update again from playstore.
try differents camera apps like google camera,camera 51. if with these apps you have this corruption again,for me you have an hardware problem

The release notes for 2.19.40.20 indicated they fixed the occasional green line thingy. Yup..I kept the pixel master app updated.

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.

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

Question Digital wellbeing apk ? & problem with nova launcher

Hi guys !
I have been facing the known problem for a few days now.
This is that when I press the center button it keeps asking me to select Launcher .
I searched for this problem and read reports that the app is causing it Digital wellbeing.
In my case, however, the suggested solutions (uninstall updates, freeze app, clear data) do not solve the problem.
Here I should note that the application is pre-installed from the Samsung store, uninstalling it is not possible.
Do you have any idea that can solve this problem?

That's a trash app, worthless. Either use Package Disabler or an adb edit to stop it if you can't disable this app in settings.
Edit:
Just tested it on my N10+/Pie variant. It can't be disabled in settings. How thoughtless of them.
Use one of my first two options to take out the trash plus it removes it from the settings menu.
Another Google save the dumb bunnies, feel good parasite service. Gookill sucks.

Do you have any apκ (Package Disabler) to recommend me?

Sent you the link. Not on Playstore.

Ιn the end the problem was created by the application fitpro .
I found it completely by accident while looking for the solution to the reports I was finding about Digital wellbeing.
As soon as I uninstalled it, the problem was solved and everything now works perfectly as before.

DP makes finding buggy apps easier by letting you disable them on the fly.
The interactive widget let's you toggle one or more apps on/off.

Question Poco F3 Overheating

I have had my device for 8 months without issues. Just 5 days ago it started overheating out of nowhere. Temperature can rise from 31 to 47°C between just a minute when I'm on a call. This comes with a huge battery drain during these spikes. Similar thing happens when I'm downloading or doing any network intensive activity. I used to get 7-8hrs SOT now I can barely get 3hrs.
When I switch to Wifi I don't experience this temperature spike and battery drain when I'm downloading stuff.
The heat is at topmost part, around the camera areas.
I have full LTE connectivity
Any help?

I'm on stock and I don't have any apps apart those downloaded from the playstore.

That means you can't help in any way.
Thanks

Never heard of this before. Try setting network mode to lte only. Go to dialpad and enter *#*#4636#*#*. Select phone information 1. Then under "set preferred network type" select lte only. Hope this solves it.
You can also change the sim to slot 2 and see if the issue persists.

I've done exactly that but still. The attached image shows the power draw when making a call.
I think it's a problem with the modem although I'm not sure. WiFi connection however is totally different, it doesn't spike up temps and battery drainage.

I have the exactly same problem.

What do you think might be the problem?

i have same issue

U have few options
1.root ur phone to a different os other than miui.
2.buy a phone fan cooler.
3.buy and expensive phone like Samsung s22ultra or the likes that have no overheating complains .
4. Wait for 5 years because a specific company is making ssd cooling technology and will implement that in phones in the near future . Then buy these phones.

Frustrated android user indeed .
Thanks for your suggestions

i found out that gallery is making these battery dragining and overheating problems.
SOLUTION: FORCE STOP gallery if your are non rooted user like me and use google photos instead.
BTW: they didnt fixed it with miui 14

I got my F3 ten months, and never experienced this issue.

I would suggest trying the following steps.
1: Go to Developer options.
2: Scroll down to Apps heading
3: Check background Process Limit. By default Standard will be selected.
4: Change it to either Atmost 1 Process at a time OR 2 process at a time.
I cant guarantee that the steps above will solve your problem but it fixed mine.
Try it and let us know if that helped.
