Hello
This is my first post so please be understanding.
I have been using the phone from the beginning as a regular user. I haven't made any modifications or changes to it (like root change etc.)
Recently, the official update of MIUI to version 13.0.8 appeared and after that the application selection stopped working. I had no problems with the phone before.
For example: An attempt to open a pdf file brought up a window with a list of various applications that handled the file. The same thing happened with other files or URLs. I have several browsers, so depending on what I wanted to open the Internet address with, I indicated the right choice.
Now the window shows up, but trying to tap the three dots immediately brings up a random app, each time a different one, no additional window pops up. No list of any apps expands.
I thought that maybe the problem will solve itself after resetting the phone. I set everything up again, did not restore any backups. Unfortunately, the problem is the same. I don't have any default settings.
What can be done? The problem is very irritating. I have no idea.
Apart from this problem, everything else works fine.
I will appreciate any help or suggestions
Screenshots are in Polish, if necessary I can translate.

Hello, I suffered from the same bug for a long time until I found the culprit.
You just have to uninstal updates of the Xiaomi Mi Browser (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mi.globalbrowser). Sadly it can't be easily uninstalled. Maybe it can be done with ADB, but I have not tried yet. Remember to disable automatic updates from the PlayStore to avoid it to update. This will cause the bug again.
I also suffer other bugs like an ugly and forced dark mode when the battery is below 40%. I was always tempted to install a custom ROM, but the stock camera features (manual focus, lens distortion correction, 108 MPX, zoom...) are important for me.
Thanks for the help. This solved part of the problem. Now I have a choice when opening files but still no choice when opening URLs.
Maybe someone else?

for example)
inside my browser and into some google reader rss content.
It seems to appear above images (flash movies are working though) and not all of them, i can see images quite well.
This is quite annoying and it doesn't occur on Opera Mini browser, just in the STOCK BROWSER of HTC desire.
I'm using a stock rom => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833310
I don't remember seeing this white question mark using default stock rom, so ... any advice ? I also tryied to clean browser cache and data but it didn't help.
Thanks in advance.
just a stab in the dark...do you have images turned off, or an ad blocker?
adfree, but those same images works with OperaMini and removing adfree nothing changes
then my stab in the dark was lame and i gots nuthin...good luck
thanks anyway

Flashplayer is installed and works correctly
Ok, I solved this by myself: the problem was and host file previously modified by the pre-rooted rom. I restored the file manually and everything is working. Just an AdBlock matter.
Thank you all!
I've been having the same problem with my S3 from day 1. Even had the handset replaced to no sucess. It works fine on wifi but whenever i go onto mobile data i get question marks everywhere. Going metal looking for a solution!
Hello everyone.
I updated my note2 to 4.3 yesterday using odin stock pre rooted. But since the update my screen keeps to turn on by itself every 30-40 seconds then turn off and so on.
I have Wakelock detector and the service that is causing the problem called TrackingService2
I re flashed the rom again and this time it didn't happen until today.
The wakelock returned.
I downloaded Disable Service and tried searching for it but I didn't find.
Anyone have the same problem? Any ideas?

I have the same problem. My rom is phoenixrom v14 on note 2 n7100. I would really appreciate help with this. I have no idea what to do.
Well i had this bug too. ..but i changed my rom and it worked....try freezing the process using titanium backup...ot may work...but there is never an assurance
Thanks Sadeshmagic,
I had this problem with rooted stock rom also, but if I remember correctly it wasn't this aggressive.
I tried Titanium backup, but couldn't find UID or Trackingservice2. After some googling I understood that every app has a UID, it's a ID, so that's why I can't find UID in any process list.
I booted note 2 in safe mode and noticed that the problem didn't appear then. So if it's a 3rd party app I don't understand why I can't find out the app that has a process called Trackingservice2.
So any advice on how i can locate the app that has Trackingservice2 process?
Thanks in advance.
Ok, I just reflashed my rom to start from the beginning. The problem has gone away so it's definitely a 3rd party app.
I'm gonna install some/most of the same apps again, but maybe this time one at a time so I can see if one of the apps brings the problem back. I'll tell you if I come across that app.
Could you find out what caused the problem?

Hi! I have exactly the same problem. Could you find aout what caused the problem?

My devices setting: stock OS, stock kernel, latest twrp and chainfire rooted. Nothing else. I updated from Android 4.4.4 straight to 5.0.1 (5.0 skipped) with fastboot clean flash, data, cache wipe.
So, the story went like this. I read a book on Google Play Books in landscape, then I put my device into sleep mode by closing the magnet cover. I closed it in landscape mode and left it in landscape.
Later, when I wanted to use my device again and I opened the cover to wake my device, the display was stuck in landscape. I didn't lock the autorotation.
I downloaded the app "Sensor Kinetics-Innoventions" to make tests of my device's sensors, pretty every kind of sensors. Here are the results, I attach some screenshots showing that the sensors cannot be detected at all (no numbers indication changing around. If you don't understand what I mean, try out the app yourself).

See, even the lux sensor doesn't work. Now my screen brightness doesn't adjust to the surroundings even when "adaptive brightness" is switched on my device.
FYI, I did a clean update from KitKat 4.4.4 to 5.0.1 skipping 5.0 using fastboot and official from factory image extracted system.img, boot.img, etc., wiped data and this kind of bug is what I encounter.
Normally, when the sensors are working, the app would show something like this (after reboot it fixed the issue, but only for a short time and I quickly made a screenshot):
The thing is, now, even a reboot won't fix the sensors issue. I am not in a mood to do all this flashing and setting up again, don't have that f*cking time. [emoji36]
Finally, I found a solution and temporary fix. The bug is actually caused by Google Now (I don't know which version though, maybe the lastest). I went to the Google Now "Ok Google voice recognition on every screen" and disabled it, rebootet and voila all sensors are working again. It has something to do with Google Nows constant voice recognition-ish thing. So this fix worked for me. Anyone wanted to know, here it is. Cheers and peace.
Nice to know
impressive!!! worked for me as well !
Hey everyone. Since I am new to Lineage OS (18.1), I have been reading many of the threads here hoping to learn from others, mistakes and knowledge. But recently I have had an issue with file management. Originally I was going to post a thread asking how I can delete or at least disable the native Files app, but after reading a few threads on a similar subject, I realize I would be heading into issues if I did successfully delete it. So, instead I will explain the issue(s) I am facing and then see what any of you educated peers (and in the past, lifesavers) have to offer for advice. I love this OS so I don't want to have to go back, but if I can't resolve this issue, I have no choice.
Okay, so the native files app cannot see the /emulated/Android/data or /emulated/Android/obb folders at all. Every other file management app I have installed (too many actually) can see those folders which would be fine but there are a few apps asking me to approve access to those folders or subfolders therein, and it ALWAYS opens the native Files app to accomplish that. So there are a few apps I cannot use at all till I can figure that part out.

}
Also, I am a heavy user of the Autosync app and every new device I install it in, on first run, in the settings, I need to Enable Write Access. Pressing that again, ALWAYS opens the native files app. Although the native Files app can see the SD card/External Storage, the Use this Folder button is greyed out and when I attempt to press it anyways it states, "Can't use this folder - To protect your privacy, Choose another folder".
I am sure there is an easy way around all this but it is becoming annoying, to be as nice as possible. I hope I am just overlooking something cause I would rather feel like a n00b dumbass instead of having to lose this new (to me) and wonderful OS, or even worse, lose access to several frequently used apps. Thanks for reading and more thanks if you are able to help!

I'm at a loss here. Updated to c61 today, and it's been goofy. I can't install local upgrade (was gonna try to dirty flash), I can't enable RAM boost (not a big deal), and I can't save cropped pics in the gallery app. I'm not sure if it's related, but apps are randomly cloning themselves, too. Does anyone have any ideas?
it kept freezing and i had to factory data reset. i hate this phone now.

Stay on OOS 11, nothing compares, no custom ROM nor ColorOS comes close. Custom ROMs are riddled with bugs, and COS is the same.
Also, flashing custom ROMs might introduce more issues at times. I flashed one and couldn't update properly. Then my phone broke and can't use T-Mobile MSM, it's permanently set to IN.

the c61 itself has a local update in it, with the c61 you don't need the local update.apk and that the RAM boost can't be activated for you (I think you're rooted) with root I couldn't activate RAM boost either.
just as with the c61 the RAM see your pic and mine is displayed in a different place if you have root, just like then (without root) another menu opens if you press the 12 GB Ram woman then extra RAM (this menu is not there with root )
