Sorry in case this has been asked before. Could you please confirm that I can disable Google+ and Chrome apps from settings without rooting?
I haven't bought N4 yet?

Yes, just go to manage apps, all apps, then find the ones you want to disable. Click on them and tap the disable button. That's it. They'll stay disabled throughout reboots and everything.

"always" complete action using this application...??

So I have a reddit app, but sometimes I like to browse the actual website ( I have my reasons )... But when I click on a link it will randomly ask if I want to open the link with my reddit app or the browser. I click browser and check the option that says "always open with browser" which is great, except that a second later it asks me the same question after clicking on a link. Just taking a shot here wondering if anyone knows how to fix this. Very annoying after a while. Unrooted here.
Check your settings privacy yet? Maybe your settings is keeping it from doing what you want like accepting cookies or form data etc. What browser are you using?

Just checked and all that stuff is allowed, I really thought you had it. ... Thank you for the suggestion though!

Got the s5 today, few questions

I like the phone, but the 16gb causes a lot of concern. After downloading my music from Amazon, it's almost gone.
I can't find an option to put music from Amazon on my sd card, is that hte new kit kat "feature"?
Also, the test message preview on my lock screen only says "New Message", ther eused to be an option that gave me a preview of the actual message..is it gone?
On the Note 3, it had a setting where screenshots would enter auto edit mode, came in real handy for me. S5 doesn't seem to have this?
When I disabled my magazine, my home screen transitions isn't continuous ..I know I seen the s5 do this in review videos.
Did you root your phone yet with Towelroot? If so go to play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix and install this to get read/write to your sd card. The other stuff I can't help you with. Sorry.

Not yet. I will this weekend tho. Thanks bud
Before you root you may want to look into fix for SHealth and ISIS Wallet (if you use it). You have to stop SHealth and Health Services in app manager and clear data and cache before you installed Xposed. You may even have to uninstall their updates if I remember as well.
Install xposed and it's service , then update Shealth and it should work fine. Once you get that done install ISIS Root Bypass 3.0 module for xposed and check it in modules and reboot and the Wallet will work fine after that.
These were two things that I use often and really had to get working to be happy with root.

Why put off until tomorrow, what you could do today, and prevent yourself from being screwed by VZW when they push 4.4.3 soon, and Root may not work with it?
In the text messaging app you'll see a setting to display the message on the lockscreen instead of new message.
Plug your phone into the computer and drag and drop the music to the SD or use root explorer to move it there.. You don't need root to do this.
No, the S5 cannot auto enter edit mode as far as I know, maybe clear defaults of gallery and set images to auto open in an editor?
As far as continuous transitions just use apex or Nova.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll keep digging.
I do not see the lockscreen setting in the messaging app. I'm using Samsungs app over Verizons

How did you "disable" My Magazine exactly? I was able to long press home screen, choose Home screen settings, and uncheck My Magazine. This allowed me to scroll continuously or not.

I unchecked it via longpress homescreen. I don't have an option anywhere (that I can find) for continuous scroll

Oh gosh, well that is a problem then. I'll definitely keep my eyes open for a solution. You should let us know if you find one. I'm curious now.

You'll have to edit a file using Root Explorer then if you disable My Magazine you'll have endless home screen scrolling. I use Nova launcher which already has the option in settings. If you definitely have to have the stock launcher and you can't get infinite scrolling to work let me know I'll tell you which file to edit.

I wouldn't have to modify the build prop to get S health to work with xposed?

Thanks but I wish it was that easy. I have pretty much did everything as far as common fixed, reboot, reinstall, clear data, even install older version of the app.
fixed
just want to post an update. In case othe rppl have the same issue.
Took me 4 hrs but I fixed mine.
Issues might be the new google play service.
Also I can't use facebook chat on PC in the fb.com or else it will break my notification for my phone.
Facebook, chrome, andriod whatever need to get their **** together.
I got that problem too snapchat + twitter i checked notification toggle and application manager no problem with them. Maybe its the app not us?

unable to capture screenshot prevented by security policy

I get this message trying to take screenshots on random apps such as my bank and the PlayStation app. I could take screenshots on any screen before the update. My girlfriend's phone can still take screenshots after the update on our bank app but I can't. This is really annoying, is there a way to fix this?
Do you have corporate email account on your phone? YourIT department maybe blocking this through email policy

I don't. Just basic email apps like Yahoo and Gmail.
Been searching everywhere and can't find anything to help this issue ><
something for messed up in your permissions. And screen shot is being blocked. Might need to factory reset. Could be the bank all blocking the screen shots.

I don't understand the permission part since it's only select apps. If it was the bank app I would think it would block my girlfriends app also but it doesn't.
Try using the app named "screenshot touch" available in the playstore for free
http://repo.xposed.info/module/fi.veetipaananen.android.disableflagsecure
Looks like a permission issue. I just had the same issue. I couldn't take screenshot on Brave browser (for you it could be any other app).
I fixed the problem by going to
Settings >> Applications >> Application permissions >> Brave
and enabling the "Use networks" permission.
At first look it seems unrelated but I'm going to assume it might be needed for the picture meta data (exif data).
If this specific permission doesn't do the trick for you, just enable them all for the app and should probably work.

Galaxy S8 Notification Slow Down Because of Google App

Hi,
I have been experiencing slow notifications on my S8 ever since I bought it, specifically with apps like Twitter and Skype. After research, I tested turning off the app power monitor, but that did not help. Then, I tried disabling the google app and the problem was fixed. However, I do use the google app on a regular basis so I would like to find a different way to fix the problem. I have also tried a phone reset with no results.
Thanks in advanced for any help!

Go really if that works by stopping the google application.
I have it like that, but there are many other things that I lose when I deactivate that function, for example the dictation to google voice, a function that is widely used by me.
I read that Nougat did not pass.
Amazing that there is no solution to this. There is no other solution?
