            android:angle="0"
            android:useLevel="false" />
    </shape>

You have an indeterminate drawable on your progress bar but you didn't set `android:indeterminate="true"`... Is the progress bar indeterminate or not? — kris larson, Jan 04 '16 at 16:04
The blue bar shouldn't be there..this is my problem..only the yellow spinner should. — Hilit, Jan 04 '16 at 17:03
Try setting `android:indeterminate="true"` on the progress bar and see if that fixes the problem. — kris larson, Jan 04 '16 at 17:07
Other things you can try are `android:indeterminateOnly="true"` and `android:progressDrawable="@null"` — kris larson, Jan 04 '16 at 17:15
not working...the funny thing is that for example- it doesn't happen at devices: s1 or note5 or lg..but it is wrong at s2....anyway in Gennymotion emulator i see it all wrong.. — Hilit, Jan 04 '16 at 17:22
i think that this value `android:thicknessRatio="8"` is unproportional to the previous one. Make it smaller and run first on devices with BUG ;-) — piotrek1543, Jan 04 '16 at 18:53

This bar is actually the dialog title bar divider. It does not exists on lollipop or later but it do exists on ics to kk

So all what you need is to set it to transparent like this:

progressDialog = new Dialog(context);
progressDialog.setCancelable(false);
progressDialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(android.graphics.Color.TRANSPARENT));
progressDialog.setContentView(R.layout.progress_spinner);
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT <= 19 && android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 14) {
    int dividerId = progressDialog.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/titleDivider", null, null);
    View divider = progressDialog.findViewById(dividerId);
    divider.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
}
