Just run this past anyone, see if they have the same problem. I am running Novembre5 latest rom, however this issue was occuring with all of the roms I have tried including the official Toshiba roms.
So I have a disappearing problem with my context menu. It has happened to me after I install some programs. I install Resco Registry Editor, Photo Viewer, Swype 2.0, CE-Star for Japanese Input, bunch of games, get my device just the way I want it.... then I can't select anything. I try to "tap and hold" to bring up the context menu so I can cut and paste in an email or delete something in Resco Explorer, however when I click on a blank part on the screen, the circles will show up and the 1 second animation will commence in which the circles will surround where my stylus has hit the screen and then once the circles go around my stylus clockwise then the context menu will for a very-split-second appear and then disappear. To get the context menu to stay, I need to hold the stylus on screen and then remove the stylus from the screen just before the context menu appears, then the context menu will stay.
Needless to say.. this is really annoying... when I initially hard-reset the device, there are no problems like this, however, after installing my programs, then I have this issue. Is there any quick fix for this problem? Does anyone have an idea what is up? I like the programs that I have installed, I especially need Japanese on my device so I hope it is not CE-Star, is there any advice someone can give to me? I guess the next step is, is to hard reset and install the programs one buy one and test them out for a while and then figure out what program it is that is making the issue appear. However even then.... I need the programs that I install... and damnitt I purchased most of them, hehehe so they have gotta work!

I believe this the best you can try for the moment...
Never encountered something similar...
Wow...
that was retardedly easy yet frustratingly hard. Ok, CE-Star was the culprit. You must do two things. When installing CE-Star one must uncheck the handwriting component when installing the Japanese IME. If you install the handwriting component then the context menu will disappear. Also, second thing, one you register and activate the program then it loads a service at boot called DynaNls.lnk in your \Windows\StartUp folder. This service causes MANY frustrating issues associated with your device including but not limited to automatically rebooting 3 or 4 times during the boot sequence, and then it will work. Basically CE-Star is totally compatible with Windows Mobile 6.5 however you gotta do a couple of tweaks. Wow, this has solved 2 months of issues. Have a good days pplz.

Countless number of posts regarding the same problem have already been posted. Please search before posting.
Known issue is known. Search the forums
I just want to point out how absolutely useless it is to tell people to "search the forum" instead of posting a link to the thread that has the fix. Case in point: when I "search the forum" for this camera issue, this thread is the one that shows up. So instead of having a link to the actual answer (which would cause the actual answer to be the top result in something like google), we get this.
no, people just need to stop posting questions before searching. telling a person to search is not useless, spoonfeeding him is. check out the first rule of xda
I found this as a top result from a google search, and could not find a solution on the forums, so just to help anyone else who gets here via google, here's how I just fixed mine:
1. Go to Settings > Apps > All > Gallery
2. Click "Clear data"
3. Click "Force stop"
4. Restart the phone.
I've been having this issue for a long time and could never find a fix. Hopefully this works for you, and it's a shame other people are rude and not as helpful.

really?*_* now it works with flash? in wich rom?
in CM
Looks like I spoke too soon anyway. Camera is broken again. I'm running RC1 which was released yesterday, and I still have the bug. Doing the steps I detailed in my post fixes it again, but it keeps breaking.

So, you want me to search the forum for you and find the thread relevant to your post? Don't use the rom, but have seen similar threads pop up. Why not chose a few keywords and enter them in the search box? Keywords "CM 10.1 camera gallery"
If you read about the rom you are installing you know that CM does not have a proper camera for the I9300. There are a few workarounds, but it is possible the latest release is not compatible with these workarounds. Or maybe you haven't even tried them.
I usually don't post messages saying search, but this is such a common question there is no excuse!
Even more Camera fixes on the way. Hopefully it'll be available in today's (or tomorrow's) build.

Ok, so heres my problem. Ill try and be as specific as possible without acting like a crazy person, because i am at my wits end with this.
I bought this tablet cheap at a pawn shop. They said it was locked and they 100% could not contact the original owner of it. Me, being somewhat learned with android stuffs, said ok, i will reset it from the recovery menu, NO PROBLEM. yea right. Get home, reset it and now I am introduced to this new Google factory reset protection business.
Now I have researched all possible ways to bypass this. The #1 solution is to get into the settings menu and enable developer options and go from there. I have enabled developer options on every android i have ever owned. Somehow, with this p.o.s. tablet....it will not work. I have tried every which way to tap build number 1, 000 times and nothing. For some reason, I cant get it to work.
Another solution that i found was to download and sideload this app to bypass it for you. Technically, its for Samsung devices, but i tried it anywho. All good until i plug the tablet into my pc. The PC wont recongnize the stupid tablet.
I am asking EVERYONE and ANYONE. Is there some other way for me to get past this crap? It is a RCA Viking Pro 10" tablet Android version 6.0 Model Number-RCT6303W87M7
PLEASE HALP!
Thanks in advance peoples,
-Jess
Same exact tablet and problem too.
My neighbor got it at an auction and I've done the Wipe Data/Factory Reset and then the trick to get into settings but tapping on Build doesn't work. Someone mentioned that 4 long taps worked for them so I tried that too with no luck. Not sure what else to do but send the neighbor to a cellphone repair store but it's for his grandson so I wanted to help out. Any advice/instructions would be great.
Thanks,
Roger

I think I may have solved this problem. I also may have been the first to do this since I haven't found the answer anywhere else and I successfully accomplished it very easily actually after weeks of trying every available method out there. I hope this helps everyone. Let me know how it goes. Here goes: after getting to the page asking for the previous owners info, I hit the back button. I hit add network and typed in several random letters. I then long pressed those letters and clicked assist. I then clicked on gmail and was taken to the permissions and such page. I clicked on the 3 dots in the upper right and clicked manage apps. From there it took me to the settings page. Once in settings, I simply just added another user account and entered my current google information and went through all the steps. After I made it to the home screen I powered off the tablet and then restarted it. It asked for my info again and I entered my google information and it took me to the home screen after answering a few more questions. I then went to settings and deleted the user account I set up and that made me owner. I even did a complete reset and it no longer had the previous owners info. It only needed mine. FINALLY, I can use this tablet after weeks and frustration of trying to bypass this. Please let me know if this works for anyone. I may have left out something on accident if it doesn't. I'll redo it if I have to and possibly make a video if so. Thanks. I hope this does the trick. It would be nice to be the first at something for once if this is the case. Lol

Thanks for the work! I am going to see if my neighbor still has it and if so I'll get it from him and test out your procedure. Glad it worked for you! I'll report back as soon as I get it from him.

Well, turns out this tablet is a RCT6603 with the last patch date being June 2016. It wouldn't let me enter a Google account - it would go straight to the screen where it said this tablet was reset and to enter the previous owner's account information. Google must have really patched that version tight as a drum...
Glad it's at least working for you though.

Mine was RTC6303 with an earlier date than yours , I used the 4 long presses to get into developers mode and it worked.... Russ
an old thread but figured id add a note in case anyone comes looking later :
go through setup, enter wifi and when it comes up asking for previous owners info, hit back till you get to wifi screen, click on 'add wifi' then hit a few random characters, click and hold on the characters and then select 'ASSIST'.
When new window opens up, type chrome and select the chrome app when it shows in the dropdown menu, download and install google account manager 6.0.1 apk, then download and install quick shortcut maker, open quick shortcut maker and then type 'google account manager' in search bar. click on this and then from the options that open, select the 1 that ends with 'loginactivity' and then select 'Try IT', from the new screen that opens up, click the 3 dots at top right of screen and select 'Browser Sign-in'. Log in with your Google credentials, once it goes back to the quick shortcut maker screen, use power button to restart tablet, proceed through setup as per normal and instead of going to the google login screen, itll come up stating that your new accounts are ready for use.
once you have went through setup fully, goto settings and factory reset the tablet, this will get the tablet to a 'brand new out of the box' state and remove those previous credentials from your legally purchased 2nd hand tablet
It worked!
Thank you your instructions worked perfectly.
Hi there! So happy to see that this post was updated!!
I found a bit of a quicker way to get through the FRP issue thanks to everyones comments.
1. Connect to wifi
2. Back out and click add new network. Type some letters and highlight, click on Assist.
3. In the search box start typing Settings and wait for the settings app to appear. Click that.
4. Go to Back up and Reset. Click Factory Reset which will delete the connected google account.
Thanks guys! Also plugging in a mouse made it way easier to zip through all the steps.
So I do everything that all of you have tried and it wont work. I got the tablet from my grandmother who passed away. I am getting more irritated with the device as I do not have the money to buy a new one. I do as everyone says to do however there is no assist button at all when I highlight everything.... help please.... Im pulling my hair out over this
I found the easiest way to get into settings, theres a button on the keyboard with the settings icon, press it and it takes you straight to the settings menu.
So after entering in my PIN to get to the Smart Lock settings, there are no options available. I can't added a trusted device, location or voice. It's a blank screen except for a left arrow, "Smart Lock" title, and the three dots in the top right with "How it works" and "Help." Just wondering if it's a problem with my phone or if Nokia removed this feature (which begs the question of why didn't they just remove the whole section, or is that not allowed?).

Thanks for the reply. Looks like it is a bug. Can be (temporarily?) fixed by turning off Smart Lock ( Settings > Security & location > Trust agents), then rebooting the phone, then turning Smart Lock on again.. But someone said that the bug came back after a few days and they had to do the fix again.
I'd post the link to Nokia's community support forum but I'm not allowed.

I'm having the same issue, disabling the trust agent, rebooting, and re-enabling brought it back for a little while. I can't figure out what makes it go away.
A chat in the support app had me boot to Safe Mode but that didn't do anything for me. Nokia Support said they've heard about this one and told me to wait for an update but wouldn't suggest any timing.
I have posted this to the Nokia community forum and so far no one from Nokia has responded beyond say the "solution" is to turn off the trust agent, reboot, turn trust agent on again. I told her that's not a "solution," it's a workaround. Still no real fix. Maybe in Pie?

Good to know. Now if only I'd get the update without it bricking my phone!
I was reading a websiteon Chrome and wanted to copy the text. As soon as I hit the copy button I got a watermark on the screen. It happened earlier also before the October patch but it went away but this time I had to restart my phone.
Yes I have faced this issue and it is very simple to replicate. Select a line of text and drag it. It will leave an imprint on the screen
Like this right ?
Yeah exactly like that. Is this bug device specific or something more?
How to replicate this? I opened Chrome, selected some random text, clicked copy and nothing bad happened. EU rom, October patch.
Had this issue for the first time yesterday, copying a text from gmail.

Guys, don't forget to submit feedback for this (and other issues). It's important to include logs and replicate the issue shortly after you submit the bug report (it automatically collects system logs for a minute or two).
I never had this issue. Global rom, October patch.

Hello,
I have exactly same issue. I've tried to use included xiaomi report program but it always crashed, when I try to send bugreport.
Maby anyone has contacts with Xiaomi engineers to raise up this problem?
I have the same issue, didn't know what to do.
There is nothing to do except restarting/killing the app which caused the "permanent" text on the screen. Hopefully it'll get fixed with Android 10.
Yes guys, I had found the temporary solution without restarting!
After appearing that text, you could go to facebook app and find some video post, after that you could tap and hold to that post 'video' about one second, after playing video text disappears. I hope this could help someone.

And another one.
Just close the app from where you had copied the text.

This one did the trick. :laugh: Hopefully they fix this bug.
To replicate : select a text, release, then tap and hold it again and move it. It's a super annoying bug !
It just happened to me now in T9 MIUI 12. Closed chrome, since the dragged text was from chrome, but it still appears on screen, even after locking or unlocking.
