[Q] How to Remove "ongoing wifi" on Galaxy S4? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hello Guys,
Can any1 figure out that how to remove this "ONGOING WIFI Connected" from notification list..??
I am using AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4..
Will appreciate your help..
Thanks in advance

There's a mod for it in the development section that changes several aspects of the phone including the wifi notice. The search function in the development section should bring it up for you.

If you've updated to AMDL check out my Dev-Resources thread for an installer that includes this mod.

Your thread and Adam's "restore" thread need to be stickied in the Development section. Unfortunately, people seem to not read anything before they mess with their phones but if it were stickied, maybe more people would see it. Thanks for the great work.

Hello, I found out if you hold the notification then go to "app info" and then you click on "force stop" it goes away!

it worked! good call!

xposed options
That thing is a waste of notification space, isn't it.
I personally would be hesitant to force close a system app. At the very least, it will eventually come back. Possibly it will have some unintended consequences.
I think that hiding the continuing wifi notification is one of the things NottachXposed can do:

I'd think Wanam (xposed) can do it too, but I didn't see it specifically listed in the long list of features on the playstore:

Any Way to Remove "Recommended Apps" w/ Headphones?

Is there any way to remove the "recommended apps" notification that pops up when you plug in headphones, with or without root?
Settings -> Application manager -> swipe right to "All" tab.
Scroll down to PageBuddyNotiSvc....click it...Turn off.
This will turn off all of those recommended apps. Not just when plugging in headphones.
There's another way to disable each one, but requires a Nova launcher from the market. If you use that, let me know. I can post that way too.
I would like to know please.
Thanks

I was looking for a way, then realised you can use Xposed Framework to do it - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053/post24267797
Install from the link above, then install Wanam Xposed, there is a option under Sound to disable it.
Hope that helps.
I've searched many forums and no one seems to have the settings I have with my Galaxy Note 3 running 5.0. I don't know why Verizon hasn't updated this model to 5.1.... but, I don't have "Pagebuddy", mine is actually called "Recommended Apps". I can see the process running. I can Force Stop it. But it comes back. And there's no setting that I can find in all of the android settings to turn it off. So am I crazy, or does this particular setup have no way to shut off this notification?
(and I can't root because it's a company phone)
SM-N900V.07
Android 5.0
Kernel 3.4.0
Build LRX21V.N900VVRUEOF1
Config B13.SAM.SMN900V.0
*** EDIT ***
Found it!! It wasn't under "Sound and Notification" as expected. It was in the "Display" settings. Then in "Notification panel", it's called "Related Apps". Turning that off gets rid of the notification for earphones.
Hope it helps someone...

[Q] "the clipboard history was cleared"

I've noticed a strange issue, and I'm curious if there's a fix or workaround.
Here's what I'm doing:
1. Open Google now and search
2. Highlight text in the results with a long press and some tap and dragging
3. Tap the copy icon in the clipboard tab at the top.
4. Receive the toast "the clipboard history was cleared"
And indeed, what I just copied will not be I'm the clipboard. Any way to fight this weird Google Now behavior?
Problem solved! The culprit was the xposed module " Secure Samsung Clipboard"
You have any xposed mods? I've seen settings for that in those before.

Affirmative. I don't see anything in Wanam or gravitybox that looks like the right thing.
I expect there's a xposed fix for it...just can't find it. And if there isn't, it's a prime candidate for one!

It sounds like you are using xposed with the Secure Samsung Clipboard module. I use it and see that exact message.

Nope. Not using that mod and haven't ever used it. I am on a Note 3 though.

what ROM are you running? It may be something baked in by the Dev maybe.... just a shot in the dark.

Stock 4.4.2 from OTA, towelrooted. I believe this behaviour was in place before I re-rooted, after the OTA. I believe it's just the default way for GEL/Google Now to behave. I'm guessing the toast being shown is from the Burnt Toast xposed mod I'm using.
But the issue of the clipboard being cleared is, I believe, not due to a mod. I'm looking to change the default behaviour with a mod, or figure out if anyone is doing that already.
It just seems might odd to me that the clipboard function will pop up and sorta work, but Google makes the clipboard dump, preventing you from using it.

Sorry! I did eventually figure this out--it was an xposed mod I still had installed from before the OTA: Secure Samsung Clipboard. Disabled and the problem went away.

Disable auto sync popup message?

Hey guys, is there a way to disable the popup notification that shows up every time you press sync or turn off sync? It seems silly that the message shows up every time and not just the first time you use it to explain the feature.

It cannot be removed without root. But you can automatically dismiss it with tasker and auto input plugin. If you're unfamiliar with that, check the article here.. tech-rg.blogspot.in/2016/04/disable-auto-sync-pop-up-message-on.html
I use S6 with marshmallow and same problem! Sometimes Samsung irritates!

You don't need root for this. Even if you have root, just follow the above method, it'll work. You have a slight advantage if you have root though. You don't need the auto input plugin to simulate the touch to dismiss the popup. You can perform that by a "Run shell" action with root option checked, instead of using the plugin.
Easy, but If you need more help, ask the author of that article by comment.

Sidebar in Android Marshmallow 02/2017 Update

I just installed the latest software update for Android 6.0.1 the other day on my Samsung Galaxy Express Prime (SM-J320A) and since the download I have an annoying sidebar with no ability to turn it off. I also have no multi-window options which is what Google search results suggested I do. How do I turn this thing off???

You are definitely in the wrong thread, anyway check "developer options" to enable multi window, don't know about the sidebar, it's probably a rom option, so you will find it in settings..

Unusual Google search bar widget

Hello folks, I've got a strange visual issue with my Galaxy S8:
Huh, seems like I can't link any images. Sorry if I trasgress the board rules in my first post:
hCATSttp://i.imgur.com/xwKihwe.png
My Google search bar stopped being the Galaxy S8's one. The microphone icon is still in the right but the Google logo is now absent, the space is more bright (I think), the corners aren't rounded, and the text "Say Ok Google" is aligned in the right. Practically, it's in material design with the wrong alignment.
There aren't any other launcher installed, I'm still using TouchWiz/Samsung Experience.
How can I fix this problem?
P.S. The similar threads popup sure is useful (not for my case), every board should have something like this.
This has happened to me as well.
To fix you'll need to go into the Google App Settings --> Widgets --> Turn off "Show Updates"
Hope that helps.

Try to go to Settings > Apps and find Google App, then uninstall the updates thru the three dots.
