Just messing around one day and I was holding my down volume key in while my phone was restarting. Then this screen popped up asking if I wanted to download a custom os? Never seen this and couldn't find much on a search on this topic. Any one else see this?

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,
Saltheart Foamfollower

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)

How bizzare...

I've seen so many how do I or what is this threads it's crazy. Have we got so lazy where we don't read manuals? You tube Google. Come on folks let's try just a little bit.

Or you can use the Multi window button in notification panel.
When I woke up, I picked up my S4, and it was completely frozen. The screen wouldn't turn on, and when I would unplug it the Green LED light would stay on. Is there anything I can do to stop this? My alarm didn't even go off.

Are you rooted? Running stock firmware? Phrase give more details

I'm running stock firmware. I haven't been using the phone too much, just to play some games, video chat with friends. Then I wake up, and it's completely frozen, and I had to take the battery out from the back.
Try rebooting the S4 into recovery mode and completing a factory reset along with wiping the cache as well.

Thank you! I did that, and let it charge for a long time, and no freeze. So far.

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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
Check your settings and disable the "show remote in notifications"
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
Not rooted. All stock.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
Same here. Started happening a couple days ago. Every restart its in my notifications. I'm running mint jelly rom.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
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

When I am browsing the web for example a site like reddit. I often find myself having to click the back button twice in a very short amount of time in order to get to the previous page or else it just keeps refreshing the one I'm on.
Do any of you have the same problem or know of a fix?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Mine does the same thing.I think of it as a good thing,how often do u accidentally hit the back button and didn't mean to.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
Some sites have code in them that prevents you from leaving by a single click of back. On my desktop PC I have encountered sites that don't let you leave, period.

I have a back button on my mouse and of the late have too noticed it does it but mostly on XDA which is getting really annoying
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah I find this extremely annoying. I don't accidentally click back enough for this to be a good feature. Not only does it prevent me from going back a page with one click it refreshes the current page I'm on. This creates lag and delay. One thing I miss about having an iPhone. Things seemed work smoother
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Its not a feature. I think it has something to do with ads. When I block ads this doesn't happen anymore.
I keep randomly having an issue with the camera flash not working, and I've seen other similar complaints with other phones but they force stop camera and it works, mine doesn't. The only thing that works is a reboot, but I shouldn't have to do that to fix the issue. Flashlight doesn't work either at the same time btw. Anyone else worth this problem? Any fixes?

Not with the Stock Camera but I also have the Paid CameraZoomFX and the Flash doesn't fire with that unless I set it to Torch Mode. I know that they (CameraZoomFX) just issued a bug fix for the S4 Flash, so I wonder if they're going to issue one for the N3.
My brother had this same issue had to take the phone back for replacement. They replaced it with little issue at Verizon.

Maybe I'll do that. When they replace it do you get a refurbished or new?

I believe he got a refurb. That's what they generally do unless they don't have any then they give new.

Soft reset? Like just rebooting? Or full wipe and restart?

OK I looked that up and it says it's to troubleshoot an app that may be causing the issue, did you remove an app after that?

I have similar problems. My phone camera flash currently doesn't work at all. None of the apps which have access to the camera and the flash work. I'm currently using InFocus M320e. Several days ago I recorded a video for 35 minutes and the flash was on because it was dark at that time. Is there any way to fix it? Thanks.
