How to Change "Your Name's Kindle" in the Notification Bar

I haven't seen this posted but if you want to change the text that displays your name's Kindle that appears in the top left of your screens here's how to do it.
Log into the Amazon website and go to Your Account in the top right. Scroll down to Digital Content and select Manage Your Kindle then click on Manage Your Devices. Now press edit and change the text to whatever you want, you can remove your name as well. Once you're done press "update" and close your browser. Now go to your Kindle and pull down the notification bar to access your quick controls and press Sync, the text in the top left will be changed.

Good stuff! I wondered how to do this..worked for me! Thanks!

Just did this per your instructions (and did a re-register, which did keep the installed apps in place). Thank you!!

For the last part (the deregister), you don't have to deregister. You can always jusy hit the sync button in the mini settings menu that comes down from the notification bar.

[Q] "Recommended Shortcuts" with headset plugged in

Does anyone know how to get rid of this (in the notification dropdown)? I assume we'll need to wait for someone to create a mod for it but just checking to make sure I'm not missing a setting/option somewhere.
Thanks

I found no way. .. Can't wait for Slim Bean or AOKP to come on s4 so much crap.... It's depressing. ..

thanks....I figured we'd have to wait.

Try disabling the notification setting for the page buddy service. (Go to Application manager, find the page buddy service, and uncheck notification).

Anything useful one may miss with this notification disabled?

Worked for me too! Thanks

Thanks! There was an icon missing in mine after I ran debloater.bat. OCD

Expose earphone settings pagebuddyservice
I was able to expose the hidden menu in settings using Nova Launcher. I created shortcut->Activity->Settings->PageBuddy
Now I can enable/disable all or just earphones, dock or roaming on my AT&T S4.

[REQUEST] Swipe txt/mail notifications left/right to mark as read or delete

Hi guys!
I'm probably not the first one who thought about that, but I cannot find much about it here on xda and I'm curious why it hasn't already be done:
Wouldn't it be possible for devs to include an option to swipe notifications left to mark as read and right to delete (with an "undo" option popping up) in a similar way to the Gmail app? I don't know if this would work system-wide (say, for third-party apps like Whatsapp), but it should at least be possible for SMS and maybe the pre-installed exchange email app.
I think an option like this right inside the notification slide would come very handy for generic SMS no one ever reads like for example provider messages and the like.
What do you think?

}

Although that would be useful, I don't think the swipe gesture returns any value to the application. Swipe just gets rid of the notification. The app wouldn't know if it was swiped left or right!
Besides if there are multiple notifications from same app won't all the messages get deleted then?

Hm I don't know much about developing, but if you were to mark it as read, won't the app need more permissions?
I mean in this case THE APP, say gmail, is going to your mailbox and marking the item as read and then returning that "read" value to the gmail servers, instead of your PHONE just avoiding the notification.
Then again I could be completely wrong here. I really don't know

You could also use a third party app : NotifierPro.
by desactivating the notifications from the sms app, and NP pops a banner that you can swipe left/right, to launch/read/dismiss. You can customize that.
But I guess that it would be nice too, to have it directly in the notification panel.

Display message information on lock screen?

When I get a text message it says new message on the lockscreen but doesn't show the actual contents of the message or the sender - is there a way to change this?

Not with the stock lockscreen i don't think. You could try a replacement lockscreen like SlideLock or a notification supplement like AcDisplay. I'm a big fan of AcDisplay.

Strange that they would show a widget notification saying "New Message" but not allow you to show the message content... weird.. thanks, will try out AcDisplay

It may look at little different, as I'm using a N3, but I'd say you have something similar in the stock message app settings.
Go to the stock message app, and hit the menu button, tap settings. Under settings go to the "More" tab and enable preview message:

Don't thank me, I'm useless

Found it hidden under notifications. Also, you can have messages pop up on screen work a quick reply. Very cool.

It's the vibrate icon. Whatever skin or theme you are using changed it from the vibrating phone icon.

I think I found the solution for it. Go to developer option/Quick Setting Developer Tiles and there you'll see that icon along with other. Turn on the icon and it'll be in your button screen along with wifi and etc. Turn it off there. Provlem solve
