Android phone text box issues

[2lphill]

Having various boxes appear when opening a text field, a search field, entering a password or beginning to type information for messages or searches in various apps. This happens with almost all my apps. I get these green boxes popping up populated with messages like "NOT_APPLICABLE SERVER_TRUTH_DATA" or "UNKNOWN_DATA_TYPE UNKNOWN_DETECTION_METHOD" or "PASSWORD CLIENT_HEURISTICS". I am using a Samsung S10+ . This started randomly about 2 weeks ago. When I touch the screen they go away. I can't even get a screenshot. I have not been able to figure what this is or to be able to get it to stop. Thanks,

It could be firmware corruption, it could be malware. Back up all your apps and data (Smart Switch plus anything else it doesn't back up), then flash a stock ROM. If that fixes it, restore your apps, one by one. If restoring one of them causes it, uninstall that one, and you know which one has the malware. Otherwise restore your data and you should be good.

Check your developer options paying attention to the toggles of the options in the attached pic.

I agree with methodman89, it sounds like a Developer Option is on. It might help to see a screenshot: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...ide-how-post-screenshots-android-central.html.

These are a couple of screen shots of the issue I described in my previous post. Appreciate all the responses and help.
You can see the text boxes at the top of the screen shots.

Duplicate threads merged. Did you look in Developer Options yet? If you don't see it in your system setting menu, then you didn't activate them, which would mean it's unlikely to be the cause of the problem.

Yes, I have developer mode activated although I do not see any obvious settings that are turned on it off that relate to this. It occurs with almost all input fields except in browser searches. I'll try safe mode and see if that makes a difference.

I merged threads again -- remember to reply to this thread, rather than creating a new thread for a response, thanks.

See what happens if you turn off/deactivate Developer Options.

 

[2lphill]

No change with turning off developer options.

 

[B. Diddy]

Ok, let us know what happens in Safe Mode.

 

[2lphill]

No change with Safe Mode. The issue was still there. Starting to look like a reset is in order.

 

[2lphill]

Located the issue. It was in Language and Input>Input Assistance>Autofill Service Google> Settings>Debug Settings> Show Detection Fill Option. It was turned on. Appreciate all the assistance and suggestions.

Ooh, good find! I don't think I've ever seen that mentioned here before. Thanks for teaching me something!
