Turn off WiFi notification

Is there any way to turn off the wifi message in the ongoing section of the drop down menu, when you are connected to a network? I can't find a way to disable it and its taking up precious space on my bar.

I beleive he's talking about the notification in the pull down menu that shows the wifi he's currently connected to, not the open network notification.
It bugs me too. I don't think we can take it off.

How do I turn off the sidebar?

Hey folks:
I have been looking for days to turn off the little sidebar app with all the shortcuts. I can't find the app to disable or the setting to turn off!
Any one know how?
Thanks,

Try long pressing the back button
It took me a while to figure out as well. If you want it back long press it again (multi window must be enabled)

Or you can use the Multi window button in notification panel.

Screen adjusting?

How do I stop the screen from going dim and dark? I've turned off screen tone and auto brightness but it still Res it slightly.. annoying -_-

So everything to dowith adjusting off... if I restart the phone it willbe bright but then after a while it dims slightly and keeps doing it now and again, how do I keep it at full brightness? Or can I not? The phones at 30% battery and on the warm side if that matters....

You can, all you have to do is to disable auto brightness.

If you turned off auto-brightness and screen tone should not dim itself.
I mean when drops to very low % like 5% screen brightness will not be available anymore.
Also make sure you are not using the phone with Power Saving ON! Maybe that's why your screen dim itself.

No none of that is on, it just keeps dimming its self very slightly but noticeably, is this a fault and should I have it replaced?

First maybe you should give it a try with a newer firmware, and after if still does that..you should go and try to replace it

I think it might be because "Adapt Display" is enabled (Settings -> Display -> Screen mode -> Adapt Display).
Try to disable it and see if it still happens.

Yeah that was disabled, its on the newest firmware available :/ done a factory reset and it's seemed to stop.. going to givecit till tomorrow to see if it does it again

In case it happens again, I've also noticed another option that can change the brightness : Settings -> My Device -> Display -> Auto adjust screen tone.
Anyway, glad it's working out for you now, hopefully it'll last

Nope did it again :/ that's off, phoned up my provider and they said its a fault doggerel sending me a replacement tomorrow

[Q] Question: Can you force the home/back keys to stay on screen at all times?

Question: Can you force the home/back keys to stay on screen at all times? Like say if you go into the camera the buttons disappear. Is there a way to force them to be on all the time?

Yeah mine are on all the time.

They don't disappear on mine. However on mine the icons turn into dots sometimes, like in the camera. Not sure why.

Buttons stay or go away based upon the app you are using. Camera...they stay on. Netflix or any other video, they go bye bye. Varies by app I believe

Can we dim the menu and back keys?

Hey guys I recently bought the Lux Auto Brightness app which dims your display according to your environment. I would like to dim my hardware keys because when I'm in a pitch black room the keys are still bright......Any ideas would be awesome. Thanks

Up to my knowledge you can only shorten the duration of the back lit keys or turn them off completely. Settings>Display>Touch key light duration. I have my keys to not lit up at all and i like it.

i dont see that option in display
