How to remove "Recommended on Play" - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do you remove this from home screen?

It's a widget. Just press and hold on it and then drag it to the X at the top of the screen.

Back button

Guys is there any way of having a back button on the screen instead of always using the one on the actual phone?, a friend of mine has a tablet with gingerbread and he has a back button at the top of the screen by the time and battery!

You could use Button Saviour out something similar... But tablets have those buttons because of their big screens. In small screens, software buttons are kind of a waste IMO .
You'd better tell google then as ICS is designed not to use hard buttons.

Oh, so the current flagship iphone and windows phone don't have any dedicated navigation buttons at all, and the current nexus phone wasn't the first touch only phone to market? my mistake.

Also, you must press both of them at the same time. (not like Windows where you can press one first and one later)

Not working for me? I tried all combos of buttons, but nothing?

Screenshot

From reading screenshot is supposed to be holding the home button and power button at the same time until a white flash appears. I am unable to get mine to do this, am I doing something wrong?

When I preform a screen shot I dont see the white flash, I just hear a click and the "saving screen shot" message in my notification bar.

But you hold those two buttons, right?

Do I have to turn some option on somewhere? Not that this would be common... I can't get it to do anything but bring up the recently open list

Are you pushing them at the same time? If the home button is pushed first nothing happens, if power is pushed first recent apps c9mes uo.

Try holding the power button until some options appear, among those there is a screenshot button.
Mine works that way

That's a custom ROM option - I think you're in the wrong thread. Or you're trolling. Either way...

It took me some tries to get the timing right - power then home RIGHT after and hold both until you get the screenshot flash.

Not sure then. Other way to take screen shot is palm swipe.
Settings > My Device > Motions and Gestures > palm motion > Screen capture
Ensure its on then with a "karate chop hand" swipe from one side to the other.

What thread do you think you're in? This is the Samsung GS4 thread. There is no "customizations" menu. If there is on the stock GS4, post me a screen shot and post a screen shot of your "about phone".

That's the warp drive indicator. If you didn't connect your Bluetooth flux capacitor dongle its not going to do anything.
Lol! Its where you would activate Google now.

OK I realize the other guy is joking, but are you serious? I did just enable it before this happens. Why would the screen be locked up?

That icon is for Google Now. Swipe up (on a not frozen tablet) and it launches Now. I would just long press power and turn it back on if it's frozen. Not sure why it froze in the first place though.

Are you by chance using theftspy? I (at least used to) get this a LOT with theftspy... Its app is sitting "on top" but invisible in some cases.
I have restarted several times and went into recovery mode or whatever its called and tried the restart bootloader option and tried going into recovery. When i go into recovery it says (no command).Nothing will unfreeze it.

Never mind I just returned and swapped it for a new device.

That is true. You can hover do long tapping. So you got short and long tapping. Without physical pressing

The easy home app. Offers the function of long tape kg and short tapping. This doesn't offer double tapping. But you can set up short tapping. as a shortcut. And long tapping as a different one
