Softkeys disappeared - Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This morning, after trying to return my Softkeys to stock, using the Softkeyz app, the softkey and notification bar disappeared.
Software reset didn't help and I can't use my tablet anymore because a message appeared saying that my keyguard activity was stopped and from time to time the tablet starts vibrating as hell until I power on the screen.
Any advice on this problem?

I found no other solution than updating over pc companion.
Softkeys are back again but still I don't know why this happened in the first place

Lock screen not working properly because of notification app installed

I just want to share my recent issue with my Sense lock screen not working properly. To disable the lock screen, you normally would need to swipe up, and the same goes for the dock shortcuts. For some reason, my lock screen suddenly stopped working that way. Just by clicking anywhere on the screen, it will disable the lock screen without having to swipe up. Any Sense lock screen I chose had the same problem. This was really annoying me as my concern about accidental dial or text begins to grow. I tried to disable and uninstall different apps that I have recently installed. Unfortunately, I've been installing plenty of apps and didn't realize that the lock screen got messed up. After so many uninstall or disable of apps, I found out that the NotifierPro app was the culprit. It didn't play nice with the Sense lock screen. I thought if somebody had the same issue, might be good to check if you have NotifierPro installed or any app that will display notification while your phone is locked, that might be causing the problem with your lock screen.
Thanks so much for figuring this out. I've been wondering why my lockscreen stopped working all of a sudden. It was because I had installed light flow.
Any notification app that needs accessibility service turned on will affect the Sense lock screen. I'm really disappointed because there's plenty of notification apps I like to use such as notifier pro and the floating notification that's available here on XDA. I really hope there's a fix for this issue.

ahhh thank you for figuring this out. I was wondering for awhile what it was and didn't remember that I had recently installed notification history (uninstalled some keyboards and other random apps though). It was fixed for a little bit after a software update, but came back. Makes sense now that it probably wasn't until I received my first notification again that it stopped working...
Uninstalled it and voila...back to normal!

[Q] Droid Mini Problem Across All Apps [Stock 4.4 KK No Root/Locked BL, Verizon]

My apologies in advance for a vague thread title, but I wasn't sure exactly how to word what the issue I'm posting about is. And I didn't see a forum specifically for the Droid Mini, hence why I'm posting this here, nor did I find any similar threads to what I'm asking about.
So here's the issue. As the thread title states, I have a Droid Mini running stock 4.4 KitKat, no root and the bootloader's locked. I've done no modifications. I've only had the phone for about 2-3 months tops. I'm not exactly sure when it started, but here lately, I've had a couple issues, one being in any app I'm in or even if I just leave my phone unlocked at the home screen, there are frequent times when the close animation happens and the screen goes black as if you pressed the recent apps button or opened a link or notification but nothing else opens, and then snaps right back to whatever app was open or the home screen. In example, I could be typing a text message to someone, then suddenly, the close animation happens and the screen goes black, then suddenly snaps back to the text I'm sending. And I know it's nothing I'm doing, because it's happened with me simply watching a YouTube video both in browser and the YouTube app with my hands off the phone and the close and snap back happened, which gets very annoying because it pauses the video I'm watching or messes up my typing in a text.
If I could get a video demonstration of it to help make my point, I would, but it just happens randomly for a split second.
The second issue is, there are times when I get a notification in the notification bar but when I swipe it down and press the notification, the notification bar goes away but whatever app the notification is from doesn't open (i.e. I receive a text and it notifies me in the notification bar, so I swipe the notification bar down and press the notification, but the notification bar goes away and the text doesn't open).
I really don't feel like doing a factory reset so any help would be much appreciated.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try clearing the cache of the app(s) or clear data. Note: clearing data will rest all settings to default and saved data in that app. Hopefully this helps! A simple reboot makes all the difference as well!

Android Messages Crashing

On Wear24:
With updated Wear app and latest Android Messages, I'm able to use the message app in all functionalities, except for a pretty big one;
When I open the app, I can see previews of all of my message threads, but when I tap the threads, the app crashes/closes.
I have factory reset a few times, rebooted, all of the normal troubleshooting steps. Is anyone else having this problem with the latest updates, or has anyone run into it and found a fix?
Having the same issue, ever find a fix?
My issue is, whenever I enable dark mode, the screen flickers white, it's unresponsive, and the only control I have over the phone is the statusbar pulldown. The only remedy is waiting for it to crash, then deleting it, and reinstalling it. Other dark mode apps work as expected.

How to get rid of the annoying red warning icon on rooted Oppo?

rooted my phone a while ago, and after a couple weeks maybe this icon appeared out of nowhere. its not the full red banner safetynet thing but this icon bothers the hell out of me. long pressing it takes me to a system app just called "android system" where im unable to disable notifs.
even using the app "notifications off (root)" doesn't display it in the list of system app you can turn off. and any of the other notification blocking apps i tried just turned out to be trash. tried just installing a status bar overlay app but it drained the battery of my phone too much to keep as a solution.
im running android lollipop and have an oppo f1s
