New ATT trend?

Hi, is it possible to remove the annoying "wifi connected" from the notification shade? it was on the htc one aswell. it seems that att keeps copying verizon, and their stupid additions to the software of a phone.
I know it goes away when you turn the wifi off, but i want to use wifi without having to see "wifi connected">
thanks
Not possible until someone develops a rom without it. Every company adds stuff to the software though, not just those two. At least there isn't a globe on the Note 2's home button like VZW lol
Go to applications manager and disable the stupid at&t WiFi app. That should fix it

It doesn't.
Disabling at&t hot spots app worked for me

All of these software additions seem stupid to us here at xda because they are put there with us powerusers in mind. They are simply trying to help those who are as tech savvy have an enjoyable experience with their hand held computers that happen to be able to call people.

If you are rooted you should check the dev section. I think someone posted a mod with it removed

Watch On S4 problem

All the sudden Watch On app is turning itself on and showing in the notifications area. I turn it off(tell it not to) but when I restart it's back. What happened? Fix?
Thanks.

Check your settings and disable the "show remote in notifications"

Thanks, but that's what I have tried 6 times now. It automatically puts it back on restart.
Please help.

I came here and was just about to ask the same question. I could not figure out why this thing was always on in the notifications and status bar!
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using xda app-developers app
That is weird because I use my watch on app all the time. I disabled the notification from settings once and it stayed true. Are you running a custom ROM? I'm on ShoStock v2.0.

Same here. Started happening a couple days ago. Every restart its in my notifications. I'm running mint jelly rom.

I am running SHOstock 2 and it happens to me too.
I reported it to samsung, you should too,
in the Settings near the bottom
Send feedback or get help
Report this faulty app Please!!!!
fix
Unless Samsung has updated the app behind the scenes.
This seems to have fixed the issue:
Under settings go into your applications
go to Samsung Watchon and hit the clear button,
Yes, you will have to re-setup your TV\Cable,
but the checkbox does not reset now.
I emailed them about the issue. You can report bugs from the app. I suggest everyone do the same

Galaxy s4 turn off and restart time?

Hey guys, I was just wondering exactly how long it takes to turn off or restart galaxy s4 i337. After the mf3 update (unrooted) it takes me a good 45seconds to a minute just to turn off. (hold down power button and select 'restart' or 'power off'). How long does yours take? When I power off, the blue led light shows, and there's a blue circle on the bottom of the screen which always spins for a bit and then stops spinning exactly when it reaches a vertical direction of 6 o'clock . (directly up and down) then right before the screen turns off, which is usually 45 seconds later after the spinning stops, the phone gives a short vibrate and the phone turns of completely. Thanks guys.

That sounds about normal. I think mine takes about 30 or longer. I just set it down haven't ever timed it

Yeah but for me it's a slight bother. My camera app starts glitching and just doesn't respond... Shows black screen instead and crashes. Only resolves after a restart. And I take tons of shots... Guess I'll just deal with it. I love this phone too much haha. Thanks btw!

When I got my s4 before 4.3 booting was about 15-20 seconds, same for shutdown. Hated it! Too much background processes and bloat. 45 seems a bit long though.. I just flashed a better rom and kernel than Samsung's touchwiz. Takes about 5-10 for startup and shutdown.

If I have mf3, unrooted, is there anyway to minimize my power off time? I asked my cousin and my friend and theirs took 10 seconds to shut off approximately. Same phone

if you don't want to root to remove bloatware you can just disable them

What does that have to do anything with this topic? I already have disabled them.

br4nd3n mentioned too much bloat and background processes, and you didn't say anything about already disabling them so that's why I said that
Ah, ok

I have the same problem with my phone taking about 30 seconds to power off. Is rooted by the way. I hope is a way so we can short the time taking to power off.

Try this, but beware, don't do it in bulk! My phone got stuck on the att screen after I tried reboot and ultimately had to factory restore. Just move apps from SD card back to device storage. Now it just takes 8 seconds to shut off for me.

Glad to hear.that's probably my first time helping someone in here.if only I waited 5 minutes so everything could have moved back to my device storage I wouldn't have had to factory restore. Good luck!

There is nothing to be concerned about, normal behavior. Unless you're rebooting your phone every other hour don't let it bother you.
Alright thanks

Strange S4 behavior

My S4 is acting crazy lately. Seemingly randomly several download icons show up in my notification area. And it's old downloads that have been moved or deleted. Any idea what's going on? Thanks.
are you rooted with a custom recovery/rom
what's your build
what have you done to fix it
I'm rooted with stock and safestrap. It's 4.3 mk2. And since I have no idea what's going on I've done nothing to try to fix it.

Still looking for help with this one. It used to happen just once in a while but now it's like this almost all the time. Very annoying.

Thanks for the replies but my problem has gone away, per se. I ended up accidentally knocking the S4 off my desk at work and cracked the screen and screwed up the display. Now I have a S5 Active. Thanks again.
