A long time galaxy nexus user here, and since i think facebook 2.0 or 1.9 there have been a random rectangle the pops up when pressing back two times in a row from the firends list. Now i thought it was just my nexus, but now on the One i've been getting it too. Its easy to avoid but still annoying. Using ARHD rom. With latest facebook app.
From sense, I enter the facebook app/ fb messenger app, click the the freinds list / online tab scroll down to see who's online, press back twice to go to home screen then bam! A random reactangle appears. Now i can avoid this by pressing back once and scrolling through the timeline/ conversation list on facebook or anything inbetween the 1st back press and second back press (if you know what i mean)
Anyone at all can reproduce this?

Can anyone help?

Have you looked at Facebook settings?
I can't find the option now, but it was "chat heads" or something.
I have no idea what that is, but in response to BenPope, I use chat heads and no they don't do that at all.
It happens to me for some reason. I just open the facebook / messenger app. Click on the friends tab. Press back twice and then a rectangle appears.so strange

Can you guts tell me what widgets you're using or your home screen set up ? Thank you!
I tried reproducing what you said, nothing happens. It's odd that you say it happened on your nexus aswell, which would make me think its not a common bug but instead some app that you personally use which is interfering with facebook and causing the rectangle to form. Look around, close background processes and then see if it happens.
And if worst comes to worst..only click the back button....once.

Hmmm you might have a point there. Since i did restore all my previous apps when i went to stock.
Doesn't seem to fix... i even tried using another FB account. .. anyone know of a easy way to embed video here other than youtube so i can show you guys thanks.

Do you have any old phone laying around which you do reset and try on without any other apps?
I've seen this before too. It simply means the icon is selected. If we had hardware keys, hitting enter would open it. I don't quite know how to remove it though. Does tapping somewhere other than the icon deselect it?

If youre rooted and got custom recovery, make a nandroid and then factory reset your phone and try it out. Thatll tell you if the app itself has a glitch, or if its because of your setup of the phone

As in the friends list in the top right corner? Yup. I use teh fb messenger app to reporduce it. its faster haha.
So I have a shortcut either in my social folder or just an icon on the main homescreen, open app, slecect the top right corner online firends tab, wait to see the green dots, then press back twice .
Thanks!
Nothing. I did it slow, fast, but nothing happens, I return to the home screen. I just flashed a new ROM as well (paranoid) bit it didn't work on ARHD either. So I'm guessing it definitely has something to do with your phones setup. Something that you had on your nexus and have on this phone as well.

Hello!
I'm a happy new Nexus 6 owner.
Since 5.1, it's possible to use voice commands to turn on/off WiFi, bluetooth, and flashlight.
I have a problem. Bluetooth and flashlight work here perfectly with voice commands, but I NEVER can turn on/off WiFi. Any idea?
Thank you very much!

It doesn't work. G Now just searches the web for "turn on my WiFi".
I cleared the cache. And I'm running a fresh new install. (After upgrading to 5.1, I had a severe battery drain. So I wiped all my data to re-install everything again.)

Hey, good news, @simms22!
Everything is fine now. And I did NOT reset the phone.
Based on YOUR tip, I opened Google App in Settings > Apps and selected "Manage Space". Then: "Clear Google Search Data" + "Clear Launcher Data" + "Clear All Data", just to be sure.
After this, my home screen was reset. I organized it all again. And then... BANG! I turn on/off WiFi too!
Even better: until now, that battery drain is gone! I can't believe!
The app version is still different. Very strange. But all is working fine. That's waht matters.
So, thank you very much for your attention, for the time you spent with me. Have a nice day.

sweet! thats great to hear :highfive:
I use an app called Ringtone Randomizer to do exactly what is sounds like it does... It's always worked perfectly, until I updated my phone to 5.1 (rooted)...
I can no longer see my custom ringtones through the app, regardless of where I try saving them on the phone.
I've tried several similar apps, all with the same result.
I've just tried setting a custom ringtone to a contact in my contacts and that also no longer sees the custom tones.
Has something changed with Android? Could I have done something wrong? Can anyone suggest anything to try?
Since 5. 1 I have just put my ringtones and notifications here and have never had an issue. not sure about your randomizer program

Have you tried clearing the app data for Ringtone Randomizer?
Also if you haven't already go into Sound settings, maybe you need to change your ringtone in there where it will likely ask what app you'd like to use as the default ringtone app.

I had tried that, but it gets cleared when you remove the app anyway...
You don't have to set which app to use for ringtones, but I've just looked at changing it manually, and that also only shows the stock tones and not my custom tones...

So to test I downloaded it and I can see the ringtones I downloaded in randomizer as well as in media storage... It could be media scanner isn't working right. Try clearing app data on the media storage app then reboot, see if that fixes it. I'll keep looking around for stuff, but at least we can confirm that you should be able to see your custom tones.

It's not just the ringtone randomizer app btw, it's anything that let's you use custom notification tones too, when you choose Media Storage to pick a tone, it just shows the stock tones..

Just tried that, some didn't have any spaces anyway, but tried some others...
They're all MP3's... I've always used MP3s and these are the same files I've used for years too, and they do still play in the music player etc (when browsing/opening via ES Explorer)

Right, I know. I somebody in another forum found that removing the spaces from the file name helped.
No problem, I realize how frustrating this must me. Recently had someone help me with a tough issue and decided I should do that too. I know enough that maybe I can save someone a headache or two and maybe even teach them something too.
No dice, I'll keep checking in a couple minutes gotta scoot over to my next class, but I'll be back.

Also, when I try setting a custom notification tone for something else (e.g. Email) and use ES Explorer to browse for it rather than Media Storage, it pops up saying Wrong File Type. Please Select Again...

Sweet to we got that working, I wonder why the other path didn't work. Try deleting the folder, rebooting, recreating it, reboot again (maybe?), then move a few tones in and see if it works. It's the easiest thing I can think of. Not sure what to Google for this kind of fix lol
I had this option turned on and was using it just a few hours ago. After restarting my phone, OK Google no longer works from anywhere except the Google app and the option in the settings is completely gone. Does anybody have any idea what may have caused the option to go away?
Same issue with me and its annoying.
Same issue here. Thought I was going crazy.
Same here, but I just bought it 12 hours ago. Been trying to make it work since.

Whoops, just realized this is in the T-Mobile forum. I've got an AT&T Edge, same problem.
I found a work around with using the Nova Launcher. There is an okay Google option as you'll see with the attachment that works for me on any screen that I'm on. You have to have the premium version I think not sure about that but anyways for what it's worth
I believe it may have something to do with new Google play services that was just pushed. Option was enabled, but, when updated GPS to 7.3.28, function stopped and option disappeared.
Same here
Since Friday evening I've been going through every single setting on my S6 Edge. I had the phone since April 4th, where I had ok google everywhere, but not "trusted voice" in the Smart Lock settings. I restored my phone 2 times now, thinking the first restore got rid of Ok Google Everywhere. I now see others are having the same issue which is great!
I don't know if this has anything to do with it but check the version of Google Play Services. Last week Android Police posted an article about 7.3.27 and I saw their caution that you need to make sure you grab the right version for your device -- http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...d-wear-notification-dismissible-apk-download/ details how to decipher the salient version into. On my stock S6, I have -440 so I didn't update. Now, today, I see I've got 7.3.28 (1863718-440) -- It seems the 440 is an important part. So, I'm more current than the version in the Android Police article I cited and I have Trusted Voice and OK Google everywhere.

I just downloaded 7.3.28 (-440) and still do not have access to Ok Google Everywhere, also Trust Voice is still "off" no matter what.
another setting also vanished.
Lost OK Google from any screen yesterday. Checked settings and the only option is "From Google App". No any screen and no Trusted voice settings. ALSO noticed another setting that vanished. In phone settings the option to "turn off screen during calls" is gone. Now during phone calls my screen turns off, which I really don't want and I can't find a setting to uncheck it.
voice your disapproval: @S6NoOKGoogle https://twitter.com/S6NoOKGoogle
It is now fixed!!!!! simply go to the play store, or your application manager, uninstall updates and reinstall.
I'm new to getting a phone directly through my carrier, so maybe this is just something I'll need to live with. But my T-Mobile Galaxy S8 has a T-Mobile branded Google start page that always loads when I start Chrome. I've dug through settings and changed the homepage to www.google.com. However, no matter what I do I can't get the T-Mobile branded start page to stop appearing every time I load up Chrome.
Any ideas?

However, no matter what I do I can't get the T-Mobile branded start page to stop appearing every time I load up Chrome.
Any ideas?

Ok now I have a real reason to freaking try and flash another rom or something. I think some people said there is a common rom out there that can be flashed for any of the carriers. I can't stand seeing the annoying T-Mobile startup page in Chrome. I even tried the package disabler to disable the built in Chrome and when I install a new Chrome browser or even the Beta one from the PlayStore it does the same thing and keeps showing me a ridiculous startup page. They want to bloat us with ads and crap and hijack our default Google start pages even though we paid almost $800. It is getting ridiculous.

I had no trouble resetting the homepage either. Chrome, settings, homepage (on), click on the address, type in google.com, hit save, back out. Now it always opens how I want.
For those that are having trouble getting homepage to change. After saving new home page of your choice be sure to close the tab that is showing T-mobile and reopen chrome. Dont just back out. Otherwise you are just opening the same tab that already is directed to T-mobile.

Root. Oh, you can't. This is why I'll never buy a phone I can't root. So, I totally control my own phone -- not the manufacturer, not the carrier I happen to be using. It's not their phone, it's mine.
