Unknown phone call tried to access root - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I received a phone call on my phone yesterday afternoon from the number +162599121 which tried to gain root access to something called data center on the phone. I didnt know what it was but I allowed it to pass through, though i did not pick the call.
Then when I got up this morning I saw this on the phone.

By any chance are these two related? Did some googling and found out that other people are also getting this but no one seems to know what it is. I'm from singapore running a rooted, but completely stock unbranded Samsung LSE ROM (Singapore CSC) and Speedmod kernel.

You are using 3g without any signal.. Amazing! Well never heard of this case that preconfig is requesting su permissions before at xda. It's a system file look at screenshot

Its pretty common to get 3G or even HSPA with zero bars here.
Anyway I found out that preconfig might have something to do with changing the CSC of the phone. Im already using a ROM with my region's CSC so there should not be a need for it. And I doubt samsung will try to change it in any way.

BUMMMMMP

Please help me with my GPS

Hi you guys...
I decided to post this because im a little bit tired and worried about some weird bug on my N1's (at&t version, currently being used on Honduras, Central America) gps...
Heres the story...
When i used CM5.X it was pretty accurate, inside and outside of any bulding, then Froyo was released, so I made a nand backup and proceed to flash FRF50 on it... since then, my gps isnt accurate anymore... i tried everything, going back to my nand, with 4.06 and 4.03 radios, wiping (like 25 times), flashing the new 5.08 radio, ive tried unticking the "use wireless networks" on the options... installing maps brut and nothing seems to work...
Here is a little cap for you:

The lack is not that much, but its pretty anoying because originally it wasnt like that.
some thing that ive noticed is that since CM6RC1, my weather app is more accurate, because before it used to pick another location to broadcast... (one town that is located nearby my city...)
I hope you have an answer for me!
thnx you guys!
I am using v2.2 N1. I don't have any problem as you stated.

Not really, but if it works all is fine. Did you make also backup of your EFS folder? Orange is crap provider, you should get the network unlock code from them. There are also pay services in internet that can provide you the code for some $25
I have given once my S8000 to Orange to unlock it, it took them one month to understand that Simlock isn't same like Network lock, and it took another six weeks since sending it to their service to unlock it. Total amateurs.

S6 theme not working properly

Today I got a system update of around 120mb and after that the themes are not working properly.
The theme icon are not showing up on the home screen or in the menus. I am using a material theme and the changed icon is showing only on the lock screen.
I've tried different themes, restarting the handset and I even did a hard reset.
Anybody else facing this problem?

Same problem here.
I've tried to install/reinstall different themes but the issue persists.
I think Samsung screwed it up badly. I don't have the new update, but when I submit themes to the store they tell me it has all these problems that are out of my control. Random icons moved, or not showing, certain colours not changing etc. One of my themes is literally one that is in the store now only with different colours, so it definitely would have any mistakes in it.
There was a recent system update and now the themes are woking fine.
Maybe you guys should wait a bot more, it'll be probably corrected soon.
Same here
Even after a second update I still only have standard icons no matter what theme is chosen. The lock screen is the only place correct icons are shown. This is six days after last update that started the problem. Any suggestions?

N920T Home screen size distored

Hey everyone, I've got an issue I've been trying to get figured out with no luck & I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. As it says in the title I'm on the Note 5 32GB from t-mobile, it's running 6.0.1, and is rooted with TWRP recovery. Now on to the issue.
Yesterday I rebooted my device, and when it came back up the home screen shrunk. What I mean is the icon/folder area and the screen indicator dots are smaller causing a significant dead space area between the dots and my bottom bar. I have included two photos, one untouched and one with yellow highlighting illustrating the area I am talking about.
In an attempt to remedy this, so far I have done the following:
Checked that one handed operation is disabled (it is)
Checked and changed screen fonts & font size
Changed the home screen grid options
I've even went as far as doing a system reset in twrp erasing everything and starting over
With that I have been unsuccessful in getting this fixed. I am hoping someone can help. In my research the only information I have found to this point talks about the settings I listed above as attempts, and I haven't seen this problem come up at this point, so please don't blast me if I've missed it, and you know where I should look, I am more than happy to read any information provided.

I've shared the photos with an image tag from my onedrive account, if they aren't working please alert me and I'll try to find another way to share them.
Not working. Curious though. How is the rest of the system? Setting and whatnot set to normal? Did you flash a ROM?

Everything is default accept my theme, which changing it didn't affect it either. It's a stock rom and systemless root with TWRP recovery. I was thinking I screwed up a setting also which is why I tried to do a reset.

I'm on Tmobile. Don't have that screen. So maybe it's in the settings somewhere of your carrier?
Not on my Sprint variant.
Anyone has this problem or can suggest something? Anything? It's killing me.

You could start by providing more detailed information. What carrier? What third party apps do you have that relate to contacts/phone?

My phone is Verizon but I use it with T-Mobile. I've looked up all the apps that has access to my contacts and draw over apps and didn't find anything unusual.
I use truecaller but that one has it's own notification.
The picture I attached in my first post shows what is really bothering me
I have Verizon and don't get this
Well finally after a lot of research and tracking apps I finally found what app it is. It's call (efing) reminder app. That is a part of bixby I guess.
Flashlight
Plagued me for 2 weeks and removed apps one by one. As others suspected, it was a flashlight app. It's gone now. App has an icon that several apps use, so I don't remember precisely which one. Not going to reinstall one to be sure. Light House Inc has this icon.
Its App Backup and restore. Uninstall that and the annoying after phone call popups are gone
Had same problem. After uninstalling app backup and restore, everything fine.
I also had same problem but solved it by uninstalling "Bestie".
I also double checked it again after installing and uninstalling again.
Hope it helps.
App backup & restore fix
Hey everybody. I came across this thread when I was trying to fix this issue on my phone. I saw that nopers said if you uninstall the app it will go away which I'm sure would definitely work. I wanted to keep the app tho so this is what I did:
Settings>Applications>App backup and restore>Permissions>slide phone and SMS off
This worked for me on Samsung Galaxy S7 so hope that helps anyone looking for a solution.
