Mini apps - LG V20 Questions & Answers

Hi guys, does anyone else have an issue with the "Mini Apps" function? It's the one where you swipe over the virtual keys and minimizes the screen for one hand operation.
It was working fine when I first got the phone but now it doesn't work anymore even with the option turned on and after reboot.
Am I the only one or is this a bug?

I had issues too at first, but with lots of research, I finally found the solution. To to settings>Accessibility and make sure that Switch Access is turned off.

As far as I can tell, Switch Access doesn't do anything important, so you won't lose any other features.

There is an option under display settings to allow daydream to work when docked, charging, or both. The default is set to docked only.

Well you know Google, I would LOVE to dock my Nexus 7. But.....

+1 - though I've only tried the Nexus 7 on USB charging. Would that make a difference?
Ultimately I just set it up on my desk at work and hit "Start Now".
Really disappointed with the 4.2 upgrade. Delivers some things, but the random reboots are giving the me the dirts, and I'm thankful the phone upgrade failed due to radio issues.

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.

OK Google is Haunting Me

I intentionally turn off OK Google detection so my phone is doing one less thing, but it still is working and the options are disabled. I've only recently started to notice this. Tried to enable and disable the options again... no joy.

This may be painfully obvious, and I'm not trying to sound sarcastic at all, but:
Have you tried saying OK Google to see if it's actually working? How about just removing the widget from your home screen and replacing it with one that isn't voice activated? Or perhaps both..

Yes, it does work when saying OK Google. Also, would removing it prevent the mechanism on the backend that's listening from working also? Or would the service still be running?
I know that when I removed it, there didn't seem to be any listening going on. I think it uses this process in Maps as well as a couple other GApps, so after removing it you can try it in there/disable it in there as well. If you have root, you can always freeze it with TB. I completely removed it from my phone, so I don't have it to play with to try to find these things out. That's always the first thing I do, so I know very little about tinkering with system apps without root.
You can enable OK Google in settings.
try disabling your google account in settings.

Broken screen need a little help(just a screenshot really.)

anyone mind grabbing me a screenshot of the pin unlock screen(number combination) usually i use fingerprint but when the device restarts i need to enter a pin and i just broke my screen so I can't see the numbers.

Thanks man, printed it out to scale with my screen but didn't work sadly. Pretty sure the touchscreen is gone as well as the display. Sucks but whatever I use my phone too much anyway I can take a break for a few days until my replacement arrives. Have a good one.
Thanks again.

No luck. I'm not sure if usb debugging is enabled(pretty sure i enabled it...) and i'm not about to go screwing around in fastboot and recovery without being able to see what's happening. Thanks for your help though i'll just stick it out till Tuesday when the new phone should arrive.
