Well hello everyone, I have one software problem from quite a while, but I cant stand it anymore. One day, I was playing with accessibility services in my phone and turned something, don't remember exactly what, so blue frames showed almost everywhere - around in-app ads frames, inside chrome tab content, when making changes to home screen, etc. You can see in the attached pics. I disabled everything unknown for me in accessibility settings, even did factory reset, but I guess this setting is synced over Google Profile, because it came again short after factory reset.. Can someone please tell me how to get rid of that thing ? I curse the day I messed up with that accessibility setting.
S7 Edge, Latest available Android version, no root, etc. Knox 0x0
May be something in accessibility. Please check accessibility settings.

Checked literally everything there. Spent a couple of hours of finding what is it and it disappeared suddenly, I have no idea how.

Guys, Ive seen the other posts, about this issue, and want to know a few things.
First off I am new here, and new to phone programming and general security issues on them as well. So if I jack this up, my bad.
I have a Galaxy Note 2 AT&T SGH-I317 stock (not rooted)
Its running
android 4.1.2 kernel vers 3.0.31
build JZO54K.I317UCAMC3
(before you start with check the other posts, I have tried the reset "power, home and volume button" and chose number 4 to clear all partition cache, also ran in safe mode to see if it was a downloaded app, still didn't work) I also want to know what is causing it, before I do the "applications manager reset all apps" Got a lot of custom settings and items blocked. Don't want to redo all of it.
So as of last night I was disabling some running process in the application manager. I did it by checking on them before. But, its not like I had the OFFICIAL Droid guide to disabling stuff on your Note2. That being said I take care to do it the best I can. Before I disabled each one, I cleared the cache of each one (if it was a option) and unchecked Show notifications. Force stopped them, and disabled each one.
Starting around 2pm CST the next day, my phone started to lock up, messenger will not work, phone app crashes after every call. But I was using it all morning on twitter, and instagram with no issues. And various other will not load etc. What could cause this? and is there a official list of applications for note2 with what they do and what they control.
Short list of disabled applications from last night are
Market Feedback Agent
LogsProvider
Google Play services, and Play store.
Google Partner Setup
DRM Protected Content Storage
DioDict3services (not sure about this one)
com.google.andriod.voicesearch
com.android.providers.partnerbookmarks
Search Applications Provider, (found on android.forms to be ok to disabled)

Thank y'all in advanced.

Hi so been on 7.0 for at least a month and just last two days phone was being really buggy so I turned the phone off and back on phone didn't prompt for password to boot.
Is there a way I can save the whole phone on to drive to send to someone to take a closer look to see what virus is on here Im guessing it's a rootkit some how also what way would you run packet capture to see things that way?

a virus would be software related...if you did a full wipe and installed fresh software and it continues it might be an app you keep installing...do you get your apps from the playstore or side load as well

playstore only before my phone was locked boot loader and encrypted to have to use pin to boot device.
AS SOON as i get the buggy phone and reboot when it boots up it no longer request pin to boot. on stock rom i was rebooting phone every week to see how long it would take and usually nothing odd until phone got buggy for reason of the reboot.
the buggy issue is shortly opening an app the app will freeze so i hit home nothing happends try to turn the screen off nothing happends until a minute later sometimes phone will reboot its self or i hold power to make it reboot but both take about same amount of time when phone goes into full freeze.
so it being a playstore app and the virus not getting detected google needs to look into how they can patch this...
so im putting this out there so this person or group doesnt forever have a backdoor into peoples phones.
this issue i have had since november last year but havent been so aware about the issue till august. since august ive been dealing with know some how they are getting in and must be an app but i got rid of all games and weird apps that are not nessisary
abs workout, esfile explorer, google+,mint personal finance,tapatalk,accuweather,alaskausafcu,amazon kindle, android auto, android device manager, android pay, calculator, chrome browser, chrome remote desktop, clock, cloud print, contacts, es task manager, facebook, family locator, favorite frequencies, fing, garmin connect, gci my usage, gmail, google, google calendar, google camera, google docs, google drive, google goggles, google keep, google keyboard, google news, google now launcher, google opinion, google photos, google play games, google play music, google txt to speech, hulu, keeper, look out, malwarebytes, maps, messenger, eset mobile security, pandora, playstation phone, phone, shazam, sixaxis controller, skype, speed test, usaa mobile, vlc for android, wifi analyzer, xbox, youtube, zombies run
these are all the apps ive had since ive had this issue.
i was hopping that esfiles exploreres new feature of being notified of new files would help solve this but some folders it doesnt detect like youtube or google music even though in es files explorer i unlocked ability to view the .nomedia
Drop ES File Explorer, to start. Read this article, or do some googling about it on your own;
https://www.androidpit.com/this-is-why-you-should-not-use-es-file-explorer
I have to agree with the article when it says Solid Explorer is a great replacement. I've used it for years now and it's never let me down.
The fact of the matter is, if you manually wiped all of your phone and formatted your internal storage, nothing remains from pre-wipe. If your issue is coming back it can only be a hardware issue (if applicable) or some app you are using, as previously mentioned.
Furthermore, after googling your exact issue I came to find that certain apps that require 'Accessibility Services' can and will disable your pin/password/pattern on boot. Check if any of your apps fit the bill in 'Settings > Accessibility > Services'
Disable any apps which are enabled and reboot. You may have to set up pin, etc., again, but leave the services disabled and see if the issue returns. Let us know!
Edit: Upon more googling, I've found reports of people who had the issue return after disabling & uninstalling the apps in question as well. You may need to flash stock images again and do not install any apps that require accessibility services, or don't grant any of them permission even once.

https://blog.g3rt.nl/android-lollipop-encryption-user-interface-flaw.html
Edit3: Issue tracker link; https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=219498
Edit4: If you logged into your bank app and factory reset or flashed factory images, logging in again after the wipe/flash will show as a new device. Same goes for having login alerts set for Google / Facebook, etc. Your same phone shows as a new device after the flash or wipe. Guaranteed not a virus.

Thank you! I tried googling but guess I wasn't doing it properly.
I turned off keeper nothing.
I un installed it nothing.
I dont know how to re enable boot encryption pin.
the phone says it is so I'll try clean install again and just not allow keeper anymore I think the issue has come up just after turning keeper on to allow the accessibility features.
Thank you I will keep you informed give it till February if nothing odd happened.

Also thanks I know about the added devices I cleaned the one to my bank account and I look at my other accounts every once in awial and make sure nothing odd wish my bank account showed what devices instead of only having clean on Facebook I've had things look suspicious ips from another states but the device listed was same as mine so don't know if they are able to spoof that.
I always assumed that some how the cell tower was saying it is relayd to Cali or something.
I live in Fairbanks Alaska.

Well turns out it was keeper I switched to last pass uninstalled keeper before uninstall It was telling me 8 hrs of battery life. Now 21 more hrs with already being on for 5 hrs at 78%.
Phone hasn't had any weird issues. Except I had lost the encryption anyways and only after having the new image for one week now been going for three weeks.

Hi. I recently purchased a Joying Android Head Unit JY-UL135N2. I have been watching alot of YouTube videos about setting up the device and I noticed that I have none of the settings that I see on the videos like "Driving Settings" and "Factory Settings". All I have is normal android settings. Am I doing something wrong or is there more settings that im not aware of? I did see a Icon that says "Car Media Settings" but the options in their are not the ones im looking for. Im trying to turn off the head unit guidelines for the backup camera because my camera that I purchased already has guidelines so Im seeing two sets of lines when it is active.
Thanks
My unit arrives on Thursday I'll let you know by then but a lot of those videos are of the older 5.1 units so it may be different or maybe try asking in the joying forums

In "carmediasettings", there is third tab look like settings icon.
Passwords "3368"
there is option for remove backup camera guideline.
Developer options in the main system settings menu also has the password 3368.
I just got the same unit and well i have also been looking for elements setting to change the light of buttons to match my dash ,
i am how ever facing a far more frustrating issue i downloaded youtube from play store and when ever i open it i get error that google play services needs to b updated same goes for chrome browser..... i click the update button n it just took me to a google play store page with google play service title n has only option " open" available there nothing else.... any one here knows how to resolve this ???? m just freakingn out here
edit: well a reset and allowing all the google prompts showed my the update option .. updated it and all is working now ...

the lights option is under the CarMedia Settings, but for some weird reason it only shows up if your lights are already on
Thanks that worked great. I have another question tho.... I want to install Viper4android but I can't find any solid info on how to root the 5.1.1 HU's. Any information would be greatly appreciated
Maybe reading this helps: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...roll-joying-2gb-sofia-mtcb-mtcd-tips-t3555249
Viper is not quite worth the headache. Look into upgrading the audio chip in the unit itself

I've noticed that after Oreo update some apps cannot draw over other apps anymore. Like Google Translate "Tap to Translate" or Nougat/Oreo Quick Settings. Lastpass works fine tho. But if I try to make work this apps, it will tell me I need to go to settings to enable "Draw over other apps" permission for that app. The funny thing is that the permission is already given and switching it on and off, killing the app, restarting the phone, etc doesn't do anything. For the apps is like I never granted the permission and so they don't work as they should.
I'm trying to avoid doing a factory reset, btw.
Anyone else has this problem? Anyone using "tap to translate" of Google Translate ?
Thanks!

I'm guessing no one has the problem? xD I guess I'll factory reset then...

I'm having the same issue with twilight and Pokemon calci iv. I just did a factory reboot and when I did I constantly get a pop up that says can't install contents 1-400, so I have to keep it in battery saver mode all the time. It still gets hot like crazy, and do not get the port wet because it detected moisture for days and will intermittently charge and not charge or charge slowly and quick charge. I am hoping another factory reset would do the trick,but idk. These intrinsic obsolescence strategies are how they get you to upgrade to the lg g7
So I did the factory reset. The update error went away the moisture sensor issue went away, the drawing over apps issue went away for 2 days then came back. I cannot use chatheads, pokigenie, twilight, etc. The hell with you LG
The phone arrived yesterday, I started exploring the interface and I noticed a few issues. Most importantly, I couldn't see notifications on the lock screen like the one from a music app that lets you pause, skip a track and so on. Only after unlocking the phone I'd see the notifications. I tried finding a solution in the settings but after changing some stuff (probably) nothing happened. Then, while doing nothing at all, just locked the phone using power button, opened it and boom, there was a notification from my music app (Shuttle). I repeated this to make sure im not dreaming and after changing a track in the app, the notification no longer appeared. I used google to help me find an answer & all I understood so far is that I have to go in the advanced settings, find the so called "Battery Manager" and disable some app profiles. It was said that by default the app's notifications on the lockscreen are blocked for power saving and by changing these profiles and also tweak some stuff in "Notification & status bar" tab would fix it. I said okay lets do it, but I went in advanced settings and there's no Battery Manager.. and it didnt show up in search either. Is my system outdated? (Side note: I'm a noob when it comes to phones, so I can't possibly pull the correct conclusions here, just saying) I'll include some info from "About phone" tab at the end of this article if that helps. Moving on to the next issue: Can't play video.
My "Can't play video" issue occured when I tried to play a video from within the default gallery app, a video that I recorded a few moments prior. Google didn't help so I downloaded a gallery app after several attempts on more freshly recorded videos, and after installing, the videos would play normally in the new gallery app. I headed back to the default one and on an attempt to play a video, it actually worked now. That's weird. Out of curiousity of what would happen, I uninstalled the gallery app from earlier, leaving me with the phone's default one, tried to play a video and got the same message as in the beginning: "Cannot play video". Out of curiousty once again, I re-installed a gallery app (same one as before) but didn't open it. I headed straight to the default one, tried to play a video and the result was different this time. It said "Error" or something of the sort. Hopefully that info will let you pros figure out the problem.
My "about phone" tab info:
Model Nr: EDI-AL10
EMUI ver. :5.0.1
Android 7.0
Thanks for reading & I'm looking forward to your answers
Edit: Fixed one of the 3 issues I had. Still need some help though, anything, any idea will help.
