Have you tried using trebucket launcher? It is better in my opinion.

Hail, RedLed!

Well, I tried. In reality, it was my first launcher. However it bugged with one Google widget, and refused to work. So I started using Google Now, which worked flawlessly 'till one week later. In my latter attemps, it was just impossible to use Trebuchet, as it were already messed up.

I got a samsung S3. At times I notice the status bar change different colors and flash weird letters. It almost looks alien like. This happens like twice a week. Could this be the government spying on me?
[General Questions and Answers] @SidDev:
I guess its not about government spying as if a government spies it does via network so it does affect the hardware or phone software.

can you post screenshot?
[General Questions and Answers] jasonmerc:
Maybe you should wrap your Galaxy S3 in aluminum foil. That should prevent alien attacks, at least.

Maybe you should wrap your head in concrete. That should prevent people noticing you.

One way to be sure youre a paranoid troll with tendencies to harm women is if you post comments like this, people like myself will reply with comments like mine. If you look at them and they dont look at you, it explaims why youre angry at them. Never try to talk to them. You'll only end up being rejected and as a result, more angry.

My phone isn't rooted yet. Youre right about the government though.
[General Questions and Answers] Radigen:
In first world countries this is an issue, yet I cannot say that this is very true for all classes of countries, namely 3rd world countries.

I am sensitive that NSA surveillance in the US does overlap the barriers of privacy and security, as the main operators are humans and not machines, yet I do not confirm this is true, this is just speculation. They can choose to cross those barriers without us even noticing them.

However in regards to being spied upon by the government, it will go as far only as you'd let them get information. I have simulated your errors by means of Network Security testing, and yes I am a Network Admin and simulate stealing information. What i can say is this, if the government uses technology by means of any frequency via Wifi, Bluetooh, GPS, etc and you have these on, then you have to be extra careful. Most tracking agencies do not leave the spying to machines, they do it themselves and can choose to go beyond stealing your "Intellectual Rights" so to speak.

I also have Hardbricked and soft-bricked devices in my simulations. But what I can is that you should be responsible for gathering facts and truths about this matter. It is foolish to speculate upon the government without knowing of the tools that they use in acquiring private information.

I hope my article has helped you, and i do wish this thread is closed as it is.

[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
The truth is that you ARE being spied upon by the government. The FBI, CIA, TSA, and NSA are SO incompetent in their spy work that their spying causes graphical glitches on your phone. These glitches are caused by the syncing with the NFC chip that was injected into you the least time you got a shot at the doctor's office. You only noticed these glitches because there weren't enough pacifying hallucinogens in the atmosphere spread by the gubment in those inexplicable chemtrails you see crisscrossing the air above you.

Because, obviously, someone of such incredible genius such as yourself is of extreme interest by the government's top intelligence and law enforcement agencies that they'll spend tens of thousands of dollars in tech, equipment, and man-hours to monitor 24/7.

Or maybe there's just a software or hardware glitch in your phone.

They don't need to. The US, UK, Pakistani, and Chinese governments already spy on India enough.
[General Questions and Answers] msarro:
I work for a large telephony company. In the US, if the government was spying on you, you wouldn't know about it. There's actually regulations built around how they spy on you, called CALEA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_Assistance_for_Law_Enforcement_Act)

Basically, the telephone company has a security group whose job is to receive CALEA requests, and essentially they fork your call into a 3 way call whenever you make/receive anything. That's how modern wiretapping works. No one outside of that group is legally allowed to know anything about it. It doesn't show up in call signalling.

As for the wide-spread stuff that the NSA was grabbing, they're grabbing "call metadata" so essentially the signaling information, and CDRS (call detail records). It's not the same thing as a wiretap, but you can still get a lot of information out of it.

[General Questions and Answers] jasonmerc:
But all jokes aside ('bout time someone took this half-seriously besides SidDev), I would try getting a stock firmware image and just flash that through ODIN. Doing this will erase your data, so make a backup of anything you really care about. I remember my old Rugby Smart had an issue where if the device was off and I plugged it into the wall socket to charge, it would say there was no battery inserted. However there was one inserted, and it would charge just fine if it was on. I just flashed back to stock firmware through ODIN and it fixed the issue.

If it still persists after flashing through ODIN, then it is probably a hardware issue. Unfortunately, I am not as experienced with hardware-related issues, so I wont be able to help with that if that is what it comes down to.

SidDev is right. It is either a software or hardware relates issue. Although the gubmit is spying on you (n' all of us as well), it wouldn't cause anything like that. If anything, the gubmit WOULDN'T want the phone to show weird signs, because that would make you suspicious..
[General Questions and Answers] Ticklefish:
I might as well chime in with a serious post.

I know you said you can't take a screenshot but it would be very handy if you're able to take a video. There are lots of screen recording apps available and this would really help the serious posters here try to work out what's going on with your phone.

Don't know why i just thought of this now, but maybe "Flash Screen Updates" or whatever it is called is enabled in the developer options. I remember one time I had that enabled and it flashed yellow/purple-ish when something changed. As for the text, still unsure about that.
[General Questions and Answers] yahanna:
You know by doing these things you are putting yourself at risk for being blacklisted by the gov which can unfortunately have dire future consequences. Even if ypu become an intentional nuisance to them through your tactics, you'll still be regarded as a threat when you essentially arent.

You mentioned as well some pro-american characteristics that you possess. For example, "I'm a christian." Its like america wants everyone to be a cookie cutter law abiding citizen, i.e., 'outstanging patriot', 'god fearing christian', etc. to ensure that youre a safe non-threat. In so doing, youre making gov shape you into whatever they want you to be. As a result you have no freedom to be what YOU want to be.

we're all being spyed on. As mentioned by several people already, it is a known phenomenon. I was speaking to an exec from Oracle the other day who mentioned all browsers share user browsing history with the government, except firefox. since then, that's all Ive been using. I suggest you do the same. Take control of some aspect atleast...
[General Questions and Answers] yahanna:
Duhhh.

Well I use an old version of Opera. I seriously dont think that firefox is excluded from government eavesdropping. Firefox is a popular browser and the devs would say anything to get users to accept their browser. Its possibly a ploy by both forefox and the government to fool people into thinking that the browser isnt tapped. The government is smart and it'll say anything to maintain its power on people. All I'll say is that one day rome will fall. Just like the british empire, spanish empire and french empure. As I see things progress now, its going to fall much sooner.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthkir:
Hi,

Im trying to get into flash mode. I tried getting into fastboot and it worked, got the blue LED standing lighting.

However when I tried getting into flash mode, I first get a blink of red then green than it was gone. It didnt stay light up like fastboot (blue).

Leave it like that after like a minute or two, the phone will boot up.

Please help.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
That's normal behaviour for flashmode. The light doesn't stay on.

But what exactly is the problem that you are facing? Are you trying to get into flashmode while using Flashtool but the flashing doesn't happen because the phone reboots?

If so, you may have connected the phone too early. What I normally do:

1. start the Flashtool program

2. click on the lightning icon

3. choose flashmode

4. select the appropriate firmware

5. click on the Flash button

6. let the program prepare the files

7. wait until a prompt appears for you to connect your device

8. plug your phone to the PC in flashmode.

hello, hope i post it in the right place, if not, please move it.

i bought the phone coolpad 7236, based on snapdragon 200 msm8212 chip.

i found out that i got the chinese version of the firmware, so the seller gave me a link for the multi language firmware: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/7g49chcyb7gdy/ROM_for_Coolpad_7236

there are some files there, offical flashtool, quallcom flash files (to be used with the flashtool), drivers, and an archive containg a script that should replace the entire system folder via adb.

i translated the .cmd file and here it is:

as you can see, it deletes the system folder and should put the contents of the archive as new system folder.

unfortunally this only made the first step, as soon as the script deleted the system folder, the phone stopped working.

i tried using adb shell to do it manually, but it didn't complied to simple commands as "dir" "ls" "cp" "pull" "push", the phone became a brick.

then i tried using the flashtool, the company says that in order to use it you should dial

and then choose test mode or something in order to allow the flashtool put it in download mode, obiously i can't do that now. i figured that when i hold the power button the screen turns white, making the phone discoverable as quallcom hs-usb diagnostics or something like this, it doesn't work with the flashtool (it searches for qdloader device).

then i tried dumping system.img from other coolpad 7236 device, i used this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2450045 and i got 800MB file, the fastboot refused to get it, then i used this fastboot: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/solved-img-vzw-xt1060-to-flash-fastboot-t2493814

waited for 30 minutes, but it was stuck on sending.

also, i couldn't get the fastboot to work, i tried to flash the boot.img that the seller gave me in the link, but the fastboot got stuck in "writing", the fastboot also ignored simple commands such as reboot.

the stocvk recovery is not helping either because i don't have signed update.zip for it.

is there anything else to do beside sending it back to china?

and, is there any GOOD WAY to replace the contents of the system folder (in case i get another chinese like this) without bricking the phone?

wow, very old post...

here are the steps:

1. install adb drivers, get adb software, set the phone to enable usb debugging and root it with root genius.

2. download the system dump from: https://mega.co.nz/#!9JRTmYyD!MgZR1CITlfUMFM5FUtBlkVCg7u97djHYg8rkmudRbtc

3. download the kernel dump from: https://mega.co.nz/#!EBIH1TRZ!hfesnz3FkZXnaEHw6T5sA1DH98spXAGY594j-0HU-Hw

4. copy the files from 2 and 3 to the phone storage root.

5. start adb shell session by:

adb -d shell

6. enter the following commands:

su
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system

If anyone else has has this problem (including an inability to wake the phone up without a few tries), check your RunTime. I'm hoping it'll be better next update, but for now this'll have to do.

Hi there!

I have exactly the same problem since I updated the phone to Lollipop (D85520A) but before that I didn't have that problem. Firstly I found this when I updated to D85519H and then I performed another update to the current version (D85520A) and it didn't help. The smartphone is way better, but this problem is really ennoying me.

ART is not available on Lollipop and my phone went only for one day to ART mode and it was a pain in the ass (when I still had 4.4.2) and then I switched back to normal.

I am thinking about to a factory reset and reinstall Android 5.0 on CSE mode AGAIN and see what happens, but I think it won't help at all.

Do you have any idea of what could I do in order to solve this problem?

Thank you in advance.
