I have searched google several times and asked friends of mine who are VERY familliar with Android, and they simply can't figure out my problem! I have an LED notification that is half green half orange, and no matter what, it will NOT go away. I have restarted the phone several times, and it persists. I have disabled the default E-Mail app and it is still there, please help! For those wondering, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3, GT-I9300. I recently installed the Supernexus 4.4.2 ROM, and shortly after THAT, I installed an app called Themer. Oddly enough, after having installed Themer, the LED popped up, however I have uninstalled Themer and nothing has happened. I ALSO set up an E-Mail account before the LED popped up. After the LED popped up I completely disabled the (Stock) E-mail app and yet again, nothing happened. The only way to get rid of it is to turn off the phone. It is on when the screen is on, and on when the device is locked.

I've searched this site and couldn't find anything about this. If I missed it, I apologize.
So, I've had my Sony Xperia X10 since December 2010.
Recently, about 2 weeks or so ago, a new logo has appeared on my status bar. It's not on the notification bar (the left side), it's on the status bar (the right side). The logo is a dual spinning arrow. The one that appears on the notification bar is 2 spinning arrows in a circle that are kinda vertical. The new logo i'm getting is of 2 noticably fatter spinning arrows, making a slight bigger circle where the arrows are going horizontally, not vertically.
When this new logo shows up, I can not send/recieve texts, nor connect the the Market or the Broswer. I haven't tried making calls, but I have never received a call while that logo is active.
It comes up randomally from time to time, and it's completely annoying. As I usually notice it when I'm at work or out and about, and I don't know exactly when it appeared or how, so I don't know if i've missed any texts or calls. When the logo is no longer there, then all of the texts that I missed during the time it was active all appear at once, with the current time stamp. I've responded to them, only to find that they were sent hours earlier, but I didn't recieve them until after that logo went away.
In order to get rid of the logo I've first tried checking all of my settings and apps and what not but with no luck. I've gone online to look it up but found nothing. So I've been turning the phone on and off. But it doesn't always work, and rarely works the first 3 or 4 times. I have to turn it off, and then back on, and when it comes back on, within 30 secs of fully booting up, it just reappears out of no where. I then shut it off again, and back on. and then, about 3 or 4 times later, it doesn't turn on, finally. Other times, I have to take the battery out, and then put it back in, and every time i've done that, it hasn't come back on when it rebooted. it's weird like that.
I've tried looking up this logo to see what it is, but I have found nothing on this logo. I've found the thinner vertical spinning arrows in the notification bar on many websites. But I have not found one thing on the thicker horizontal spinning arrows on the status bar. Even the official list of icons doesn't show it listed either.
It really sucks that it randomally appears out of the blue from time to time. Not every day. sometimes every other day, or every couple of days. but I never know exactly when it happens. it just appears. usually when its in my pocket or sometimes when it's charging, but always when i'm not paying attention to the phone. so i don't know when it starts, how long its been active, or how it starts. But I would like it to stop, only, I don't know how to do that.
I've found lots of answer to things for phones on this site, but have never felt the need to create an account or post anything, as i've always just looked and looked and found what i needed to know. But this time, i can't find anything anywhere. Again, if i overlooked it on this site, i apologize. But I coudln't find it.
Does anybody have a clue as to what this logo means or does. Again, it's not on the left side of the top bar, it's on the right side, and its bigger than the left side logo, and is spinning horizontally, not vertically.
After looking it up online, and checking settings and apps, and everything, to no avail, I got some antivirus apps, but they've all found nothing. So i'm stumped as to what this could be.
Is there anybody out there who could help or possibly know anything about this. My phone is ok for the moment, but it did happen earlier today, and I know it'll happen again soon.
Thanks in advance.
The spinning arrows is the phone syncing with account on the phone. Check the sync settings

Lol....
You have set up an account, either google, facebook or twitter.
Your phone will sync from time to time so that you get updated.
The spinning arrows are just that and are a completely normal function of the phone.
I would only worry if you have not signed up for any accounts (Including logging onto the market, because that uses a google account)
If you are still worried go to
setting
accounts and sync
and disable it
Hope this helps
It definitely is not the syncing. The syncing icon is a little different. Also, as I've stated, I've already checked those settings, among others. I've had both the syncing on at the same time as this new icon was on, and there is clearly two different icons, one stating the syncing status, the other nothing. I've disabled the syncing before, and that logo goes away, but not this new icon, which seems to disable any and all network activity. But I know it has nothing to do with the syncing, as that works fine and is controllable.
But thanks tho. Anything else it could be.
Is your phone rooted, if so , find an app in the market that can take a photo of your phone screen. Then we can see what the symbol is.
Look up the app shootme if your phone is rooted. And post the pic. This can help us solve your problem.

nope, sorry, its not rooted. I've never tried to root it. Tho I did update it awhile back. Long before this new thing started. It's always worked great before this. Like I said, it's only recently started doing this, like in the past 2 weeks or so. I have not added any new apps or games or anything in over a month either.
I doubt this helps, but heres some info on my phone.

Do you have auto software update checked. I can only think of that if its not the sync. icon. Use android SDK to take a screen shot if its not rooted.
Hi everyone,
I've been lurking for the past year or so, but now I got a problem of my own and I hope I can solve it with your help.
For a while now, almost every time, I picked up the phone, tried to check mail, or do something, and it wouldn't do anything. It seemed like it was turned off, except I couldn't turn it on by pressing the power key. It wouldn't react to touching the screen, menu button, plugging in headphones, the USB cable, pressing hardware buttons, sending myself a mail/sms, or calling myself, the alarm didn't go off (especially troublesome), it was, for all intents and purposes, completely frozen, until I removed and reinserted the battery. Then, I could normally turn it on and it seemed like everything was in order and a new message or email (in the account that triggers a notification) was waiting for me.
This started after I upgraded to ICS (official). I also rooted the phone with CF-Root. Everything was working fine, except for these freezes.
Last week, I had enough and I did a factory reset. After that, it seemed to be ok, until 2 days ago, when I flashed it with ICS 4.0.4 and rooted it again. It was fine for 2 days, today it started freezing again. I did not install any new apps - all the apps were (re)installed immediately after the flashing.
I *did* have some problems with the camera (I couldn't see what I was shooting, I found out that it's probably a wrong version of CF-root, so I reflashed that, problem persisted, I reflashed just the kernel of official 4.0.4 and the problem disappeared. This is all I did before I noticed the problem again.
I would think that it might be because of the SD card, some app or something else, but to the best of my observing, it ONLY happens, when a notification should be triggered - instead, the phone freezes.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ben
i think your RAM is on its maximum level, try cleaning your RAM once in a while.. go to your Task Manager (if you're on a stock firmware)
I have (obviously) an HTC One AT&T Model, running CyanogenMod 11 M2? Whatever the current milestone is. I'm pretty sure it's 2. Anyways
EDIT: The CM version is 11-20140104-SNAPSHOT-M2-m7att
I'm not sure if this is a ROM error or not, but I've got a really strange bug. CM 11 was running mostly fine, aside from the occasional reboot, which was a deal breaker fr me, as I really enjoyed it otherwise.
However, yesterday, right before class, I was on a phone call, and when I hung up, I locked my screen as usual. Well I went to unlock it a few minutes later, and the screen was black, but the backlight was on, and the control keys on the bottom were on. I could not get the phone to respond to anything, so I hard shut it down(held the power button for about 10 seconds). When I booted it back up, it had made 2 changes I noticed immediately.
1.) My background was reset from the one I had to a random CM wallpaper, and not even the one that comes with CM11.
2.) (and the more annoying one) I now have a constant notification from my default messaging app that tells me i have XX amount of new notifications, with the number growing every time I get a new message.
Now, I use EvolveSMS as my default, having just recently switched from GoSMSPro to Hangouts with CM11, and now this one. I have never used the default messaging app, as it just plain lacks some features I want. I've gone through the default app, however, and "read" every text,and the number in the notification did not decrease. When I clear my notification, it returns within 3 seconds. I think 3 seconds is longest I've gone without it.
Yesterday, I went through and, regretably, deleted ALL of my texts. At that time, I had 35 "new"messages. That got rid of the notification. So I went back to using my EvolveSMS, and now today, I got the notification again, and have 37 "new" messages as of now.
Any ideas what the heck could cause this? Obviously that random freeze had something to do with it, I just can't find anything out.

Change your messaging app from hangouts to messaging, the notification will go away, and stays away after you switch back to hangouts. Done and done.
Hi, I need your help, sorry for my english.
So, today, first thing in the morning that I did (as I do every once in a while) was to install any app updates that I had, and everything went well... until the afternoon, when I woke up from a nap, I went on to use Whatsapp and the app suddenly said that it had stopped (you know that message that appears every once in a while). I went in and opened it again, but this time it gave me the option to restore my conversations and stuff, but I closed the app knowing that it would take a lot of time, and I restarted my cellphone. That probably was a mistake.
It only turned off, it didn't turn back on, which was confusing but I thought 'oh well, I must have not clicked on 'restart''. But as soon as I turned it on, several messages of other apps started to say that they had stopped working. I tried restarting it again, and then it said that it wanted to update my Android software, but it didn't finish because there was a mistake (I didn't touch anything), and then it just stopped working correctly, and it turned itself off, and you know, when you turn it on, the first thing that appears is 'Samsung Galaxy s4 Mini -----', but after a while it didn't appear anymore. And that's where we are.
The first thing I thought was to go for my USB cable to try and format my phone, but I didn't know that the phone had to be on to do that.
Then I tried to do the hard reset thingy that I read on the internet, but that doesn't work either.
I tried charging the battery for a very long time, I took the battery out, put it back in, everything.
The thing is, when I turn it on, it vibrates as it normally does, but it just doesn't work.
Hopefully someone can help me!!!!!!!
I got my Xiaomi Redmi 3 in the middle of october 2016. Since then i've been using it every day. It had minor problems, like music app sometimes turns off by itself, data connection didn't want to turn on only with phone restart, but nothing major, that couldn't be temporarily fixed. But a few days ago i just wanted to browse instagram, i opened the app, and it just turned off instantly. So i tried reinstalling it. Nothing changed. I then tried to install an older version of the app. Still no change. So i decided to leave it be. I was talking to my father, that it should be reflashed because there is something wrong with it. He just pressed regular restart on it, but after that the phone died. I mean it died. It does not respond to charging, connecting to usb, pressing any existing combination of the three buttons. The screen and the status LED does not light up even for a bit. I tried to reflash it anyway with methods specifically for this situation, but it doesn't work either. In the flash tool installation of the rom just does not start. I think it's because my pc does not accept the driver, even from the official website, it just says in the device manager, that it's Android and it has that little yellow triangle. So it is visible for my PC through USB but no driver is accepted. What should i do?
Replace to new phone or carry your phone to customer service, but hey it's xiaomi
This wont help with your phone, but just wanted to leave a note for others. I was having the same issue with the Instagram app. I reinstalled the app, wiped caches, upgraded my ROM, downgraded the app, every tried a entriely differnet ROM. Nothign worked. Instagram would just crash a few seconds after opening. Really weird.
Heres how i fixed it: go to Airplane mode, open the app, logout, turn off airplane mode, log back in.
rarely fc it's okay. but when got often it's a major issue. might be emmc needs to be fixed
