Side Bar

Hello,
I've recently upgraded from the Note to the Note 2 and I'm over the moon. Everything about this new device improves on the first and I'm so glad I upgraded.
My only gripe is this side bar that has mysteriously appeared and appears on every screen no matter what I'm doing and I don't know how to get rid of it.
As you can see in the attached image its a little tab on the left of the screen
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
that slides out to reveal a tray of applications but it's completely redundant and just frustrating.
Does any one know how to remove it?

Never mind someone just started a thread asking the exact same question while I was making this. Please can this one be closed?
Thanks!

Seeing this too. A little wary on whether or not I want to install it.
Just found this:

Looks like we're in the clear.

Even so, I can't say I'm happy about Facebook forcing me to update with what ever permissions it chooses.
I can see me uninstalling it very soon...

My coworker had the same thing, only her download froze. Couldn't tell what was going on, so we killed about every app on the phone trying to get it to stop (plus rebooting, uninstalling FB, etc). Finally figured out it was actually doing it thru Downloads, not the Play Store.
That's the straw that broke the FB camel's back for me... uninstalled the app and went back to using the mobile website. I like it better anyways.

[Q] what is that (on Youtube app)?

hello,
almost every time I watch Youtube in landscape mode there's this little annoying logo displayed in the middle on the screen and no way to get rid of it!

hum, you're right, I think I only got it when watching Youtube in bed with my bluetooth headset...
Does anyone know how to get rid of it? Is it a Youtube app bug?

It used to be a small icon at the top, only if you tap the screen you could see that, now, after the new update it becomes like that, I tried everything, but no sucess... then I had to back to the older version.

Blurry status bar notification icons

The top of my phone just started doing this. I've provided a before and after for reference. The icons are only blurry on the home screen. Tried reverting to stock launcher with no luck. I was recently installing some new apps but nothing that has anything to do with effecting the appearance or notifications. Has anyone seen this before? I have to think it's a software issue rather than hardware.

I don't think this helps you, but maybe it'll help those you can try helping you.
It looks to me like the far left icons (notifications) are pretty much fine, as well as the bluetooth icon. That's really strange.
Also, in order for others to help you better, what is your phone model and rom? Rooted?
Edit: Oh, and that's definitely software, not hardware.

I think its not blurry..
If you focuse looking on it..
You see that some icons are merge.
Maybe you install something that can affect your status bar..

Note 4 Display turns on by itself or minimal touches

Hello, friends of the Note 4.
Im note sure if i am right here to ask about a specific problem.
Like i mentioned in the headline, the display of my phone turns on by minimal touches it seems, for example if i take the phone in my hand but not puch any button. Can be that it also turns on without toches, im not so sure.
The effect is hardly reproducable though, by handling the phone rougher just to see if the display turns on. Not sure.
Im a little stumped by this problem, since it didnt changed by flashing another rom. Im a little afraid that it could be a hardware problem... Hope not.
Do you have any advice for me what to try or in what direction to look for a solution?
Thanks!

Quick Glance on for some reason? LOL!

What even is Quick Glance? I use a Note 7 rom, by the way... Just truned off smart stay. It will take time to see if it solved the problem.

I think this problem is related to the apps that can appear on top like pie control, drup or any other 3rd party apps. So try to disable them one by and see which app is causing this problem. Cheers

Thanks for reply! Honestly, the whole Apps hat can appear on top thing is a super bother. I dont really understand the sense of it. Yes i will try to disable all.
