Hello just wondering if it was possible to disable the lock screen notification alert. I'd like to use the stock notification widget but its overridden by the lock screen widget.
Thanks in advance! :thumbup:

Or is there something that I'm missing in settings that will turn off lock screen notifications? Thanks to anyone that can assist with this.. :thumbup::beer:

If you're rooted hit up your root file browser, go to system> app> delete anything that says widget. I've tried all the lock screen controls and it does nothing to remove them.
[Edit]: Just be aware when you use this method the clock and the user info may also go bye bye.
You can also disable the native lock screen and install a third party with no frills.

Thanks for your reply. When removing the apk you mentioned it also removed the widget I wanted to use instead.

AT&T Software started updating on its own? V42_1_1303_0_5

So I was hanging up on a call and noticed that in the "ongoing" notification, it said"device management - downloading software update, please do not" and had a little notification icon on the bar of 2 arrows facing opposite directions grey/blue one red. I tried to click the notification but got nothing, so I long press and looked at app info. It said AT&T software update Version v42_1_1303_5_1. I have tried searching this exact version number but nothing comes up on here or on google. I shut the phone off until further notice so I can see if this update is going to screw me in any way. Right now I am just rooted w/ TWRP recovery, but I don't want to do anything that locks this phone up. 32gb AT&T S4.
Thanks
EDIT: scratch that, i had written down the version number incorrectly, it is trying to download v42_1_1303_5_1 (not _0_5). Still, does this mess things up bad? trying to read that now.
Also, the watch on app out of nowhere is now putting its remote in the notification pull down at start up without me even touching the application. I like the app and use it from time to time but I havent touched it in a few days and now it is auto-starting on its own, strange.

Hey, I noticed the watch on app doing the same thing on mine. I didn't realize I got an update but my phone did do an unexpected reboot and watch on was running in my notification tray also.

It's just a theory, but it sounds like "Samsung Push" services might be doing some updating for you.

[Q] stock browser issue with talkback

Hi everyone.
I have some kind of trouble with my stock browser: it keeps on saying "page loading" .... "page loaded".
(If this happens to you your GN3 may say something else as mine speaks French (as I am French
I just called Samsung support in France. Unfortunately they were'nt able to solve it.
They could only tell me to go to a repair shop. There they could (hopefully) do something.
I called the guy. Everything he told me was: "did you reset (and wipe) your phone?". I guess he doesn't know his stuff.
Well: am I the only One on Earth having this problem?
I've had it for hardly two weeks.
Talkback is disabled (as everything that may say saomething).
I know I can surf with Chrome but then again it's not my choice!
Can anyone help?
Thank you very much.

Turn any accessibility functions off like Tasker, Lightflow, Pebble etc. This is a known bug.
Since I use some of these I don't use the stock browser.

Thank you very much indeed !!
I have a Pebble watch
If I had known. I would have never guessed Pebble could be the cause.
Now all is ok. I'm going to turn Pebble back on and use Chrome.
Thank you again :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Don't blame Pebble. Any app I have enabled in accessibility causes the stock browser to talk. I suspect it is some wayward Samsung software. Some have blamed Touchwiz but it still happens with alternative launchers.

Yes, you're right. I was not blaming Pebble.
I didn't use the right words. I meant "the simple fact for Pebble to be present".
BTW, is there a workaround for this?

Not that I know of.....still looking!

That sucks. I hope there will be a fix soon. Haven't they fixed it on galaxy s3? I think I read somewhere this bug returned with S4.

Thanx my frend..

You don't need to have them enabled under accessibility. It has a different setting under security now. I have light flow and I have it off under accessibility but enabled under security->notification access and it's working fine.

But Tasker isn't listed there. Tasker is only in accessibility. Sadly. I need tasker to listen for notifications.

What do I do with this message?

Intermittently I keep getting a pop up message showing the following. I am not sure which application is causing this to occur. Is there a way to find out which is the rogue application?

Hello!
This is a bug that Samsung is aware of and is trying to solve. There isn't much to do, other than ignore it or completely reinstall. It pops up every time you turn on wifi and connect to a connection. Hopefully a bug fix will come with the next update.

Thanks. Where did you hear about it

This happened to me
When the notification comes up, pull down your notification tab, then where the notification appears, tap and hold on the notification (long tap). You will get a pop-up saying 'take me to the app' or similar , tap that and it will show it was Knox Notification. Once you get to the App, force close, and clear data. This will stop it recurring until samsung issue a fix.

hi ,
Here is another take what it could be >
from what i read in my local forums, if you long press on noticfication it takes you to KNOX notifications ( thats giving notice ? )
( further it is a speculated that , most apps use wifi etc warning appears,when you switch wifi on .?)t
presently.. do not have his issue at all ,so cannot confirm above .!
good luck

The popup message is not a bug. Its a security feature built in by KNOX which prevents you from messing around with root.
Follow instructions on this thread to disable it.

I don't know what this came with but has anyone seen this random popup when opening app drawer or google voice - it'll also bring up Heroes of Dragon age from the play store randomly. How do I get rid of it? Thanks. Sorry, I don't know how to resize images.

they look more like ads... Do you remember which app you installed before they started appearing?
Try uninstalling that app... It may solve your issue...

that shouldn't be too hard..
If I am correct,the new apps are placed last in touchwiz... try going back in that order....
I will recommend making a list of apps using list my apps or similar app so that u can install the apps that were removed in the process here..
u can also check recently updated apps in my app section in Google play,that may also be doing that..
good luck!!
