Any help if you go to: Settings -->General --> Applications --> Choose an app --> uncheck "Show Notifications"
ps. Not exactly sure did I give correct names to menu, as my phone language is not english.
pss. You should get there also if you drop notification bar down and long press the notification --> It give something like App Info --> then uncheck "Show Notifications"

For some reason this does not persist after a reboot. Is this by design, or is it a bug? The toggle is switched off after a reboot, but the notifications are there anyways.

Root> go to es file explorer> delete or rename knox> reboot.
This is how I made it work on note 2.

It acts same way in my phone, so it looks like a bug, but it doesn't matter for me as I don't boot my phone so often it could get annoying..
If I need to re-check them once or twise a week, no big deal
Anyway I hope Samsung will fix it

Yep, it reverts after a reset.

An apology for bumping a thread older than my nephew, but has anyone found a non root method for 7.0 n. ??

Any Way to Remove "Recommended Apps" w/ Headphones?

Is there any way to remove the "recommended apps" notification that pops up when you plug in headphones, with or without root?

Settings -> Application manager -> swipe right to "All" tab.
Scroll down to PageBuddyNotiSvc....click it...Turn off.
This will turn off all of those recommended apps. Not just when plugging in headphones.
There's another way to disable each one, but requires a Nova launcher from the market. If you use that, let me know. I can post that way too.

I would like to know please.
Thanks

I was looking for a way, then realised you can use Xposed Framework to do it - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053/post24267797
Install from the link above, then install Wanam Xposed, there is a option under Sound to disable it.
Hope that helps.

I've searched many forums and no one seems to have the settings I have with my Galaxy Note 3 running 5.0. I don't know why Verizon hasn't updated this model to 5.1.... but, I don't have "Pagebuddy", mine is actually called "Recommended Apps". I can see the process running. I can Force Stop it. But it comes back. And there's no setting that I can find in all of the android settings to turn it off. So am I crazy, or does this particular setup have no way to shut off this notification?
(and I can't root because it's a company phone)
SM-N900V.07
Android 5.0
Kernel 3.4.0
Build LRX21V.N900VVRUEOF1
Config B13.SAM.SMN900V.0
*** EDIT ***
Found it!! It wasn't under "Sound and Notification" as expected. It was in the "Display" settings. Then in "Notification panel", it's called "Related Apps". Turning that off gets rid of the notification for earphones.
Hope it helps someone...

Lightflow [sort of] works with root on Turbo

I didn't see this posted elsewhere, so here goes.
Lightflow seems to be working with root, albeit with limited functionality. And of course, the Turbo only has a green LED.
I tinkered with the settings a bit with trial and error to get this to work; maybe someone else can find the perfect combination to get it working optimally. Disclaimer: YMMV, you're at your own risk re: breaking something. I haven't used this long enough to assess battery drain or any other adverse effects.
Settings to configure -- everything else was left at the default setting.
First, grant device Notification Access, obviously.
Then in Lightflow:
Under Settings -> Device Settings and Root:
Turn on "Direct mode"
Turn on "Root mode" and then grant access via Superuser prompt
Turn on "Run every command as root"
Turn on "Show LED while screen on"
Under Settings -> LED control:
Main LED control: set to "Control"
Scroll down to "Additional LEDs" and enable "charging control"
Go back to Notificaiton Settings in Lightflow and chose your app/notification of choice.
Scroll over using the top tabs to "Light," and tick "Enable light"
On this "Light" tab, scroll down to "charging LED" and make sure it's set to solid.
Set the charging brightness to "100" -- it didn't work with a couple other arbitrary values that I tried
You can test the notification using the button on the upper right.
I got it to work for SMS and MMS, but didn't try other Notifications.
Again, this is pretty crude. You basically get a static green alert (and I think I got it to flash once, but don't remember the settings... I was just tinkering). If someone wants to spend more time playing around and refining these settings, go for it. And like I said, I don't know if this has adverse effects. Maybe this also means other apps could work; I don't know what else is out there.

It's very interesting! But my phone is unrooted, and i don't know how root it!

You can't root if your on 5.1 lollipop and you have to pay $20 to root if your on 4.4 Kitkat via MOFOROOT.

I know. But i live in Vietnam, Mofo support only in America. That's why i can't root my phone.

People in other countries do it all the time. Use proxy or VPN.

I have used many divices such as LG, SAMSUNG, MOTOROLA. I never pay money for rooted tools because they always are free.

Edge 7 Problems

Hello,
I'm starting to hate my S7 Edge, and I'm really missing my Edge 6 Plus. Has anyone else had these problems and perhaps have any advice for resolving them? I've searched around and can't find any other reports of these problems.
First, if I'm traveling, *sometimes* I can't use the Google Navigation App if I'm in motion. For example, if I'm driving home, and I decide to get gas, if I say "OK Google, navigate to the Gas Station" It will of course find a close gas station, and allow me to choose which one. After I do so, the app will plot a course, but then will fail to acquire a satellite. The app will just sit there constantly saying "Acquiring Satellite" (or something to that effect, I can't remember the exact error) but it never does find the satellite. The only fix for this is to repeatedly turn off and on the Location services, until eventually it just works. Which is extremely infuriating not to mention dangerous while driving. I rememeber falling in love with my S6 Edge Plus because it had such an easy time navigating and this S7 Edge is so consistently terrible at locating my position.
Second, this is a problem I did not know I had until today: After mis-placing my phone, I went to the Google "Find my phone" web page on my computer, to force my cellphone to ring. I have used this service before with all my other phones and it never failed to force the device to ring. But this time, my S7 did not ring. Luckilly I was able to find my phone on my own. When I did locate it, i noticed that there was an icon in the notification tray saying "Ringing phone" and yet the phone was NOT RINGING! With the phone in hand, I tried to use the webpage to locate my phone by ringing it again. The same thing happened. It put a notification up that my phone was "ringing" in the phone's notification display, but made no actual noise.
I checked the settings - > Lock Screen and Security -> Find my Mobile, and it asks me for my Samsung Account Password.
Why my samsung account? Why not google? I don't understand.
So I signed in, and google location service is set to ON, as expected. Remote controls is also set to ON. There is a notification at the bottom that says to track and control my device, go to: findmymobile.samsung
So I go there, and I tell it to ring my phone, and what do you know? It rings my phone perfectly. Noise and everything.
How do I switch it over to google's service? I really don't like most of Samsung's software offerings, and would prefer to use native google apps out of convenience. I don't remember ever having this problem with any other galaxy device. Not even my tablet does this.
Can anyone help?

I haven't had any GPS problems with mine (U.S. Sprint version). What are your location settings? Make sure it's set to use GPS, and not just network or WiFi.
Find My Mobile and Android 's service are two different things FMM is Samsung's product. To make sure Google's is active, go to Device Administrators and make sure Android Device Manager is turned on. Then go to Apps, scroll to the bottom and tap on Google, then scroll down and tap on Security. Make sure 'Remotely locate this device' (and 'Allow remote lock and erase' if you want that) are turned on.

-Android Device Manager is turned on in the Device Administrators Section.
-I am not sure how to complete the second instructions. I do not see "Apps" as an option in the Settings panels. Can you advise where to find it?
Thank you!

Settings / Applications
Scroll to bottom, tap Google (on my Sprint S7 Edge, it's the very last item).
Scroll down until you see "Security" and tap there.
The first two toggles (on mine) are "Remotely locate this device" and "Allow remote unlock and erase."

Ah, I was able to find the settings under Google, however both are already checked. Are there any other settings I need to check?
{{Edit: I toggled the setting just to test it, and now it seems to be working. I don't know why this worked, because the setting was already properly configured. But it works now. *shrug* Thank you so very much for your help and patience!}}

Glad to help. I seen lots of things get fixed when you toggle a setting. Something in the settings file got corrupted, and toggling the settings on and off rewrote what should have already been there. At least that's my guess.

How do I UNHIDE an app????

I was having trouble with an app (Android Auto) so I disabled it, which I shouldn't have, because it hid the app on my screen. As a result, the app no longer functions with my car.
Can somebody please tell me how to UNHIDE the app? I have watched 20 YouTube videos on how to unhide apps, unfortunately, they all show things that I do not have on my version of Android 10.
Thank you!

Should be pretty simple and standard... I am assuming you are running stock A10 - if not, the names of the options in Settings may be a bit different, but the idea is still the same. Go to Settings -> Apps & notifications -> App Info. Above the app list there is a dropdown - make sure "ALL APPS" is selected, so both enabled and disabled apps are listed. You should see the Android Auto on the list below, marked as "Disabled". Tap on it - it will open the app details, then hit "Enable". That's all.

Thanks, but I did all of that! I see Android Auto on the list, but it is not marked as "Disabled." When I click on it, it appears as Enabled in the app details.
However, that's not the problem. The problem is that the app is hidden from my Home Screen. So, in order for me to access it, I have to go into the Settings, etc., etc.
Is there a way to UNHIDE the app so it appears on my Home Screen? Thanks.
PS: I am running stock Android 10.

This is now normal behavior for android auto, the app is hidden and will only show in your car when you connect to your car (as far as I know there is no way to use it on your phone like the older versions), even if you add a shortcut to homescreen it will only allow access to the settings screen (I assume).
If it's not working with your car, go to settings>apps>android auto>storage> and then clear storage to reset everything. While there check it has all permissions granted.
If you want to use AA on your phone maybe consider sideloading an old version (from a reputable store like F-Droid) which still worked from the handset.
