Hey guys. I have unlocked S8 which came with o2 sim card. While I was waiting for o2 to port my Vodafone number, I inserted my old Vodafone sim to use. Vodafone sim tool app appeared on menu which is normal when used with Vodafone sim. Today finally number ported and I started using o2 sim.
Now Vodafone app with android picture appeared in menu and can't remove it (see image).
I tried force stop, clear data, restart phone numerous time, nothing happens.
How can i delete it without reset?

Are you saying you long press on the icon and what? don't get the menu to uninstall? doesn't work? It may be because it is registered as system app. So if uninstall doesn't work, maybe disable will? If not you'll probably need root to get rid of it.
If I long press, I get following
1. Select multiple items
2. Add shortcut to home
3. Disable (blanked out)
4. App info
No uninstall option

Is there an option to at least hide the app icon in the home screen settings?

Sorry, just checked in home screen settings and yes it can be hidden.
It's gone now but just as a hide. How can i permanently remove it?

Try disabling Developer Options.
Factory reset the Phone with the new simcard in it...
Update home screen setting.
Just received the update.
Long press the empty space - go to home screen setting - about... then update it.

If you want to hide an app, try long press an empty spot on the home screen, then tap on "home screen settings", then go to hide apps. See if that will do it.

Unfortunately it doesn't work on Sense UI:
Even if you ignore the warning and put your text in, nothing will ever show up on the lock screen.
Is there another app that does something similar and works with Sense UI?
I have Antivirus (free) installed from the Market. The programme includes a lock-screen text.

Just installed it.
I see a "Lost Message" but nowhere to put custom text on the DESIRE lock screen.
Just to clarify, do you have additional text on your DESIRE lock screen? (i.e. the leftmost picture in my signature)
First, I have to admit that I have enabled an unlock pattern (p. 195 English user manual). In Antivirus, push menu > settings > > Remote > FindeR and Remote > Lost Message: You can insert the text you wish (like your Arthur Dent details). The info is then visible on the unlock pattern screen, right between your leftmost screen and the home screen.
I too would like something like this, would be even better if could also show calendar events/appointments for the coming week

Ahhh, no wonder!
I don't use the unlock pattern so I never saw it.
I'm looking for a way to put text (my name etc) on the initial screen, when you turn on the phone (like the Contact Owner app shows).
Does anyone know of a way?
Hello all, recently, i realized the 'delete' icon from the gallery app has been replaced by the screen mirroring icon (even though screen mirroring is not turned on). If i want to delete photos now, I have to press the left key and hit 'delete' or hold the photo down to select it... before deleting it.
I have tried all means and ways to get the delete icon back, cleared cache and data from the gallery app, turning on and off screen mirroring etc... restarting all... but it does not seem to come back at all.
Can anyone advise me on how to get the 'delete icon' back? been trying to search for answers but couldnt find one so far. Here's a screenshot for you... i believe most of you would have the delete icon in place of the screen mirroring icon

What firmware are you on?
I used to have the delete button in the action bar too but once i upgraded to MEA, I have to delete images from the menu list instead as you have described.

i updated the software recently to the MEA version and bam! the delete icon just went missing.
Anyone has any solution to this? I dont need the screen mirroring icon! I need the delete icon!!!
It is not at activated at the top anymore it's activated at the bottom.
Long press the thumbnail... the delete icon will appear along with multi select.

That is what i've been doing for a while now, but frankly... i would much prefer to have the delete icon back.
Anyone has any workaround solution to this?
I think if you press the menu button on the phone there's a delete option there too.

The ui change cannot be worked around short of rooting the device to modify the gallery app or not rooting and using a third party gallery.

Hi, guys
recently I notice that if I detach the S-Pen while Note3 is sleep, it doesn't wake the phone until I pressed the 'power button'. I've try de-frosting all apps (but still using greenify). Did I miss any apps that governs the S-pen wake up functionality?
To use the spen I need to pull out and press 'power button'. It's 2-step for me
Go to Settings --> Running services and check to see if the SPenKeeper service is running?
I go to Settings > Application Manager > Running apps
I found SPenKeeper running since boot (been running for 8 hours); I did not greenify this app, it show running in the greenify select menu.
still it doesn't wake the phone. It does vibrate though, I also notice that until I 'power on' the device, then only the 'pop' sound of Action Menu runs.

Could you check with my app Phone INFO ★Samsung★ --> 'Refurbishment Check' menu to make sure it is not a clone one?

Sorry, I have not found the service that wake up by detaching the spen.
The last thing you can try is factory reset the device. You may need to make a full backup.
Sorry not used to xda apps and quoting posts. But thanks.

Thanks. Maybe I'll do that when I'm free. It's easier with titanium backup

[Solved]
I disable the SpenKeeper services using "Disable Service" apps. Somehow the taking out Spen wakes the phone from sleep as usual. Perhaps something went wrong for the SpenKeeper service.
THAT IS !!!
That is becouse you did not use SPen very usual it happemmed to me also , solve with this NOT RESTARTING APP , from time to time us a system restart from the Power button and don't panic )))))
For some bizarre reason they have decided to omit Notification Settings in the Settings Menu. If you have an Android Wear watch and you want to change Notification Priorities for certain apps, this is a must, as well as many of the other Notification Settings.
Anyway the short term fix is to install an app called QuickShortcutMaker from the Play Store, then open it, search for com.android.settings.Settings$NotificationSettingsActivity and create a Shortcut for it.
There are others shortcuts that may be useful, another post has mentioned it to get rid of the 2nd sim icon. If I find any others, I'll let you know, and if anyone else finds other useful ones, please post.

Is that any solution to change Notification fonts and colour as I it's unusable to read Gmail Notification ?
Nope, only way to improve that is to play around with the Themes - try changing them using the app that is included called Themes.
Sent from my PLK-L01 using Tapatalk
I use honor 7 and the problem appeared notifications do not work, but I know half the solution, when you click on the box in the bottom of the screen Close all programs from the bottom up, do not close every program alone
many other things you can get with "QuickShortcutMaker" at your Honor 7 you will find here:

This is very confusing for typical android users, as this phone tries to save battery by closing all apps, which is a good thing for battery, but not for notifications, so it is very important for the apps that you want to receive notifications, you must protect them - go to Settings, Protected Apps, and turn on the ones you want to protect and stay alive.

It seems that any non-system app only shows a generic notification icon in my status bar tray.
For example, if I get a hangouts message (stock system app) it shows the correct notification icon. However, if I get a WhatsApp (user app) it just shows a generic circle with three dots inside. This happens for all my user apps it seems including persistent notifications.
Anyone else seeing this issue?

Solved: setting region to USA fixed the notification icon issue. I had it set to Other and it messed up the icons. Bizarre.

Thanks, this really did the trick. What does the region setting even do?
I am not sure but it fixed the issue for me on 20S. I don't use the LeEco pass or video apps at all so not sure if it restricts the content you are able to see.

Untill now I used an app called Status that gave me my status bar back.
Changing the region to any other than China Mainland revokes the built-in call recording functionality...
