Hey guys,
yesterday i started a 24 hour session to root my LG G5 SE (H840). So far so good, all things went fine (at the end...) but one thing is freaking me out. There is a little icon in the title bar showing for about 1 second and then it's gone for about 15-20 seconds, after that it is back again for 1 second and so on....
Apps i thought that could make this funny game i already blocked in the notification settings, but nothing helped until now. I also force stopped some updater i thought they could make this happen....some result. Of course i rebooted my device to get rid of this.....same result.
It's just a little thing but enough to annoy me..
Pls help, thx a lot
As a last hope i already tried this one:
You may be able to just uncheck the update box under Settings > About Phone > Update Center
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Edit: It seem that it might could be a bug. Because i disabled all notifications for updates, the icon was still there, and gone, and there, and gone like i said before. BUT i then opened Google Play Store, went to settings and just checked my settings. I think it was enough that i only opened the settings, because the icon is no hidden...permanently.

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.
The stock android clock on top right of my screen wont update! Say i turn phone on at 1:20, it wont update to 1:21 or ever change unless i reboot then it will have the correct time for that ONE minute. I haven't recently installed or changed anything like apps or anything. BUT the clock on my lockscreen(widgetlocker) updates and works fine and is accurate. I went in date and time settings and its set to automatic, in the greyed out "set time" it shows a correct updated time, however this time isn't being shown up on the top right of my phone. I tried putting it in "manual" mode instead of the automatic mode and it still wont update..Ive reboot and pulled the battery several times to no avail. Im runnning stock rom and kernel, just rooted. As i said before i havent touched any new apps or settings in several days. This is really annoying as i cant tell what time it is while on and using my phone without going to the lockscreen and it just now began happening. Anyone have a fix or also have this issue??
I'm having the same problem today with my HTC Inspire 4g. Like you I have done nothing to my apps and its getting annoying. My phone has Cyanogenmod 7 flashed onto it.
i had same issue . made a phone call to make the phone get the auto time change then rebooted for good measure
Wow, mine was related to the time change, apparently! As soon as it reached 2am where i am it started working fine again!!(Time change was at 2am here)
Guys! I need help please! I have an Lg Optimus F3, and today early in the morning i downloaded some random game to play, don't remember the name, but it kinda froze my phone, so i hit the home key, and then all these messages popped up saying, "This application has stopped working" for every single app.
Then, my phone turned off, and now every time i try to turn it on it takes like 30 minutes to show the LG logo, then after another 15 or so eventually loads the actual boat up menu, and after about another 5 loads the home screen.
Settings are also being stupid. I try to go into Security and they force close. And the home screen won't load.
I've only had it since like september, so it's too early for a new phone.
I did a factory reset when it wouldn't turn on, so now it's in stock, just like when i first got it. But it still won't work.
Anyone have any suggestions please? I just want it to boot up fast, and start working like normal again.

You will have to flash a kdz (stock firmware) file via LG Flash tool (R&D Test Tool). You will find the needed informations HERE.
Also, if you aren't sure what the name of it is, you should be able to go to the Play Store via any browser and log in and look at your apps. You should be able to tell from there. This might not help you get your phone running again, but if you let others know you had trouble with it, it might be helpful to others.

Thanks for the help guys. Didn't work thought. I just contacted LG, and they told me to send in the phone, and they should be able to fix it. Thank you though.
What didn't work?
I am experiencing some issues with my PLK-L01 device: from time to time, the phone take over control by itself ans opens random apps I have installed, or opens chat windows etc. Today, while i was browsing Instagram, it started to open and to hit the Like button on random photos on this platform!!
I only have this phone since Christmas and noticed this problem when it started to close the apps I was using. But now it's getting worse. I think a virus is out of the questions, since I only download apps from Google play store and only the popular ones..
Please advise!
Many thanks in advance.

have you tried to do a factory reset?
also, enable "show touches" in the developer settings. If the phone shows touches that you havent made, then the screen is faulty
Hi Themegaphoenix,
Thank you for your time and help!
I did not reset the phone, because I noticed the issue since the second day of the phone usage, so I guess a reset wouldn't quite fix this.
Could you expand on the "show touches" topic, please? Where exactly do I find those settings and if I enable it, will I risk losing the warranty or something?
Thank you & have a great day.

No, but you can turn off media volume.
For the other issue: go to settings -> lock screen -> smart unlock -> voice match
Turn it off then on again and it should work.
If it doesn't, you need to go to the google app in the play store and hit delete. it will ask you if you want to factory reset the app since u cannot delete it. do it and then hit the three dots in the top right corner and disable auto update fot this app. This is because google recently updated google app and voice unlock doesn't work anymore with mate 10 pro (again)

Problem stays. i think i have to factory reset my mate 10 that it works.... but meh -.-
I also got the . 137,and now my AOD is a complete mess. The clock almost always displays wrong time. Last nite the display showed like 3:05am, while in fact it was like 4:50 (woke up had to pee :l).
With AoD on, my fingerprint reacts slower... I don't know how such a premium device cannot be sorted out in order for such a simple function such as AoD to work without problems. Seems that for some reason Huawei puts battery life above functionality.
Oh and I don't even want to go to the issue of scrolling widgets...
Maybe someone can help me, i updated last week my phone. to 137. (ota) i reseted my phone to get a fresh rom
about a hour ago i was in my car , and my radio dosnt show titels anymore and i cant forward tracks via radio. only on my phone.
My radio says "BT AUDIO" and its just playing. not more. .... that kinda sucks on the version before it was all okey.
Yes i delted car and phone bluetooth and reconnect. same issue.
updated to 137 too. battery same as before. little youtube, little gaming and some browsing and im on 55% with 4.10h sot.I did do a full upgrade trough " download full upgrade package" witch was 2.9gb if that materes
