This seems to be something similar to a "Pie Control". Do you have a custom ROM that might have this feature?
Also, if it's a third party app you might find it under "Accessibility" in Settings. Some apps (like Pie Control) require permissions in Accessibility so if you disable them from there, it might stop happening (and also you might find out what app is causing this pop up)

unwanted apps
original OS delivered by the Cell Provider
nothing in accessibility so I went to Setting -> Device -> accessibility
under services I only have Enpass Autofill - off
Antivirus - ON
Keeper Fill - off

CELL ?? What model what network ??

[REQUEST] Swipe txt/mail notifications left/right to mark as read or delete

Hi guys!
I'm probably not the first one who thought about that, but I cannot find much about it here on xda and I'm curious why it hasn't already be done:
Wouldn't it be possible for devs to include an option to swipe notifications left to mark as read and right to delete (with an "undo" option popping up) in a similar way to the Gmail app? I don't know if this would work system-wide (say, for third-party apps like Whatsapp), but it should at least be possible for SMS and maybe the pre-installed exchange email app.
I think an option like this right inside the notification slide would come very handy for generic SMS no one ever reads like for example provider messages and the like.
What do you think?

}
Although that would be useful, I don't think the swipe gesture returns any value to the application. Swipe just gets rid of the notification. The app wouldn't know if it was swiped left or right!
Besides if there are multiple notifications from same app won't all the messages get deleted then?

Hm I don't know much about developing, but if you were to mark it as read, won't the app need more permissions?
I mean in this case THE APP, say gmail, is going to your mailbox and marking the item as read and then returning that "read" value to the gmail servers, instead of your PHONE just avoiding the notification.
Then again I could be completely wrong here. I really don't know
You could also use a third party app : NotifierPro.
by desactivating the notifications from the sms app, and NP pops a banner that you can swipe left/right, to launch/read/dismiss. You can customize that.
But I guess that it would be nice too, to have it directly in the notification panel.

[Q] Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.

I have disabled those... but it still crashes :/
Do a simple thing , take a back-up of your phone (most importantly the contacts & messages) & then factory reset it....This problem will vanish....!!

Did you use Wanam Xpose - Center clock at Status bar?
If yes, turn back to original right side. The center clock no longer work since MJ6 firmware.

[Q] How do you disable Emergency Alerts on the VZW Note 3?

I feel like I'm going crazy here - everything I see via Googling says I should have an option to disable them on the "More" tab under messages -> settings. However, there are no options there?

I think I remember a setting in Messages previous to kitkat, but now it should have an actual app interface in your app drawer. I've seen it removed on some roms but it will be there if you have it. Going into this app gives you the ability to turn alerts on and off, however it doesn't allow you to turn off presidential alerts. I've simply uninstalled it via TiBu as mexiking713 suggested and have experienced to problems in any part of the apps I use. I believe it is safe to remove.

What app caused this popup on my screen?

I just got a popup ad on my home screen.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How can I determine which app did this so I can uninstall it immediately?

No one is going to be able to tell you that unless the app is advertising itself or someone has seen the exact same popup ad. More than likely it's an app (or malware) that seeks to generate ad revenue.. the upshot of which is that what you see in the ad may have nothing to do with the app. Google image search does not appear to have a match to it.
Still if you have any battery or power apps installed, they would have to be at the top of your suspect list.
Rather than make us try to guess, post a list of all your third party apps that you have installed and we may be able to spot the culprit in that list. Or in the alternative, install an ad blocker program on your handset.

Search the play store for and ad detector, their are many. These will tell you what app has an advertising function built in.
You could try clean master also

Another suggestion:
Install Shortcut Master app, open Menu --> 'Capture Shortcut' and do a capture when this ad popup is shown.
It will tell you this ad belongs to which app.

Note 4 help

My note 4 gets a pop up that says failed to update location no service I have Uninstalled two weather apps I had but that's it and it is still popping up help it is driving me nuts
This problem can be connected to third party apps or to hardware problem.. so, try to perform a factory reset and see if the problem still exist.

Use Shortcut Master app > Menu > Capture Shortcut to capture when that popup appears to see what app it belong to?
I got shortcut master now to figure out how to use it
