What's this and how do I get rid of it? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, new to both android and this forum so please cut me some slack! This appeared on the screen of my GSIII this morning and I don't know how I did it, any ideas what is it and how to get rid of it? From what I can tell it seems to be a list of active programs or instructions all tied to a bar graph, depending on how busy the phone gets depends on how much colour you can see against each individual item.
Any help is really appreciated....cheers Paul

Yes you can.
Settings > Back up and reset > Collect diagnostics > Uncheck
First thing I did, haha.
Ran supercurio's carrier IQ detector. It says the software is there but it seems to be inactive.
Edit: Thanks CitrixLemon. Didn't know it could be disabled.

Phone goes to Negative Colors automatically?

Hi ...
In last couple of days my SGSIII went to negative colors automatically without even touching that option and I had to reverse the colors manually to get original colors back.. I am not sure what could be the problem nor have any idea about why it's happening.
I haven't installed any such app that will do that or so..
So can anyone suggest me what to look for as I already factory reset it too but to no available..
P.S. - It only changed for three times and not more.. Also while talking there was some sweat on the glass, could that be a reason though it didn't changed it's colors at that moment but later..
Thanks.
Funnily enough this happend to me today. V. strange

I have the same issue with Omega 27.1 but every time after I disabled it, it automatically goes back to negative colors if I leave it idle for awhile. Any idea?

Are you using siyah kernel? Disable that toggle setting in it's settings..
Use Stweaks and under screen, negative toggle setting.

on Android 5.0.2 there is an option where you enable (and disable) negative colors by clicking 3 times the cetral button I was looking for a week what made my phone (samsung A3) turn on the negative colors. So, the easiest way is to go to settings and search for "negative colors", Its hard to explain where becouse my phone is on greek language but there are two options you have to uncheck in "Accessibilities". One option to turn on/of the negative colors and the other to turn off the option clicking 3 times the central button. Hope that is uderstude and helpfull
update: (ok found it in english)
go to "Settings", then "Accessibility" and tap on "Direct Access"
i got same issue on my samsung galavy V, but there is no 'negative color' button on my accesibility
can someone help me?

[Q] Help App broken

Hey guys
Today, I installed Android Revolution 4.0 for my GS3.
My last OS was 4.0.1 or something, I completely wiped it.
But now I got a really anoying problem.
When you first boot a newly installed phone, there are many messages telling you how you can add widgets etc.
I deactivated every single message, but one just won't go away!
It's the message which pops up when you reactivate your phone from standby, saying that you can slide over one of these shortcuts to start the App.
Does anyone have a clue how to remove this??
Greetings

Please provide screenshots or textual informations from bbs.
Usually there is a difference between there seemingly being nothing "unusual" and there really being nothing =)

I cannot remember if the option in the developer options is in ICS but in JB there is an option to 'Stay awake' maybe worth checking if this option is checked.

looks like Facebook to me from the bbs log
That makes sense I have read other threads of people reporting this. Disable fb sync and see if that resolves your problem.

I think you have the cell standby bug which it can be easily fixed if you are rooted.

Change USB cable. Probabaly solve it.
It is probably because u enabled the developer options in settings. Settings > developer options > off

I can't honestly give you the exact answer on that.. but i had the charging issues recently.. i've read a thread here in xda about it and turning off the developer option did help the charging issue.

Thanks I didnt expect that this will work but I change the USB cable and know its charging faster 1 to 2 hours thanks
