Lockscreen lens flare effect gone? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

When I first got my s4 when I would turn on my phone on the lock screen there was this lens flare effect that would just happen. Then i would unlock my phone with a swipe and you would see it whichever way you swipe. After a few weeks that initial auto lens flare Was gone but the swipe unlock flare was there. I just now changed to the latest apps to SD firmware and low and behold it was back but now after I rebooted my phone once it is gone again only after 2 days of the new firmware ! ! Anyone else had this happen?

Only time I notice it's not there is when I have a live wallpaper on the lock screen. That's normal...otherwise its news to me

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.

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.

Not rooted. All stock.

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

Lock screen apps

How do we change which apps are on the lock screen. I cannot find the settings anywhere.
I want to add Gmail to there since that is the main notification that lights up.

Right there in settings where ud think it would be.... I understand though, sometimes we just overlook something no matter how long we search for it...
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium HD app
Where is it? I still don't see it. Can you take a screenshot of it for me. It's not there.
Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk 4
Shortcuts, right under wallpaper in settings/lockscreen. U must have swipe to unlock, as unlock type to get these options I think...

thank you. I had face to unlock so the apps shortcut was gone

You have one of the motion things active. When you wave your hand over it, it displays that screen.

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.

It may be time to Odin flash and start clean.

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.
