Folks;
For some reason, I can no longer get to the settings on my KFHD 7 any longer. As well, the buttons that usually appear on the bottom of the screen (Home, and the like) no longer show there - except briefly at times.
Is there some other way to get into settings for this device? I'd like to perform a factory reset, but can't get to it.
TIA;
Patrick
Are you rooted? Do you have gmail installed? I noticed gmail will glitch the notification bar at times.
if you installed GMail, try opening it and then exiting. That usually clears up the disappearing status bar for me. If hit, try holding the power button to do a re boot. Maybe twice.

The device is rooted, has GAPPs. Starting Gmail doesn't seem to clear this up.
I note that when I start Gmail, the icons flash in for a moment, and then disappear. They also do the same if I select 'Setting' from the Gmail menu upper right.

tried the Gmail app start to bring back the system menu. No joy. Have rebooted a number of times; sometimes by holding the power button until the device shuts off, most times by holding the power button, and selecting 'shut down' from the menu that appears. No luck with that, either.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Same thing happened to me. Turns out anytime GMail got mail it touched the notification bar. Going into GMail and reading the new message Fixed it. I turned off notifications for GMail and no problems since.

I suggest you turn off notification for all apps you have loaded or updated. Then go into each app and close out all pending notices like unread chat threads of phone messages. One of your apps is trying to display an alert that is bugging the notifications bar.
You can try to find a settings shortcut app or if you install a secondary launcher, you can get it in from their settings screen. I'm not sure if ADW launcher EX had that option but I just installed Go Launcher EX and the settings drawer button will take you to the stock kindle settings page.

Also, you can try NookColor Tools - it will give you access to all settings.

How do you turn off notifications? If that's in settings, I can start settings. If it's in the Gmail app, then it's too late, as I already uninstalled it.
It's a poser. Thinking now about how to uninstall other google things (framekwork, etc.) to try an clear this.

Drag down from the top of the screen. Select more, then applications, then notification settings. Un check all or most and test
A factory reset wouldn't be too bad, unless you put a TON of things on there and it's just too much work. I did a factory reset on mine already. When I was playing around and trying out different combinations and what works and what not, some how I had used up 3 GB of data already Also if anything was broke, it should be cleared out and just watch each app you install. I had to do that to figure out my battery drain problem.
I figured out what I wanted to install and the correct way of getting certain apps installed, I haven't reached 1 GB of used data yet. I'm glad to have done a reset.

I'd love to be able to do this. That's the problem, though, is that I can't get to the settings on this tablet. Is there some other way to start this app?

If there's some way to do a factory reset without using the settings, I'd do it. I'm not worried about re-installing.
I think the problem started when Amazon turned off the advertisement/lock screen. Before then, all was working well.
Since this started, I've un-installed as many apps a I can. Does anyone know how to uninstall something that doesn't show up in the 'apps' section of the phone?

In my case the top bar was available for a few seconds after rebooting. Enough time to clear notifications. It didn't bug until the first notification posted to the top bar.

There were many suggestions already on how to get to the settings page so you can do a system restore. I know for a fact you can do it with go launcher ex.
ADW launcher EX will probably do the same thing also. Just click on the three bar on the top right corner when it's installed and running and I believe there was an option to select settings, then you can get to the amazon system restore page.
Problem solved. I was trying to side-load a launcher to see if it would expose some way to get to the 'settings' on the KFHD, and I was told that loading of foreign apps was disabled. When I clicked OK to change that setting, it took me to a section of the settings that allowed me to reset the KFHD to factory default. I did so, and everything seems to be working again.
Maybe this will help anyone else with the issue.

Gmail notification plays with the notification bar and even clears the custom kindle name to "My Kindle". Removed the gmail notification from Gamil app to fix the issue.:good:
Problems I Have so far that i can't seem to figure out.
1. When i go into gallery it shows photos that have recently been uploaded by people on facebook, I don't want this
2. With the Zoe camera, when i try to do the "Sequence Shot" when editing I get an error that says "Unable to continue there are not enough images to process"
3. Flat out cannot connect this with my sony smart watch anyone else had any success
Hi, it works perfectly fine with my Sony smartwatch, had to put watch in pairing mode first by holding down the power button for around 10secs once power is off watch, and had to download the liveware and smartwatch app etc from play store.

You need to click options(three dots on the top right) and then add a service. Click on facebook and click the three dots again, where it will let you remove it. Hope that helped.

I think where Zoe is concerned, you need to have enough movement in the shot or it can't process enough images, i was getting that error when i first tried it out, but after a few attempts seemed to get it right, camera still and enough movement in shot.

I thought if you removed Facebook just from the gallery, then only that particular functionality
will be turned off(photo syncing in this case), bit of a let down really. HTC should've kept
gallery and calendar synchronisation separate.

You have to bring up the app drawer first, then drag the icon from your launch bar onto the app drawer.

there is an app called Haxsync that can sync your contacts, birthdays and events while removing the FB account alltogether.
Hello,
I have a note 2 running the beans 4.3 rom that came out a few weeks ago. The watch was working great with my note 2 as soon as I got that rom. Ever since the last update, when i get a notification on the phone and view it with the watch it sometimes stays on the phone as unread. Also, it will not count as "read" on the watch. I will have 43 notifications, even though I clicked and viewed each text message as it came in.
Any idea why after the last update the notifications are not working right? Pretty pointless to have to go through the watch to delete every message I had that day every night.
It broke for me too on the first update to Gear Manager after I updated to the Euro MK7 rom. It's been driving me crazy. When I first put MK7 on it was working perfect until the next update of GM. Now none of the notifications will clear automatically, for any app.

This is worse than I thought -- I installed an app (EasilyDo) whose notification didn't clear. I decided I didn't like/want the app anyway, and uninstalled it. However, its notification is still there! Reboots of phone and watch haven't gotten rid of it. Holy moly. I imagine I'd have to reset the Gear, but if anyone has a better idea, I'm all ears.

No one seems to have an answer to this...
I have reset the gear and reconfigured everything. Same problem.
If i get a text message and read it on the gear, it correctly labels the message as read on phone (working)
If i get a text message and decided to read it on the phone, it still shows as unread on the gear. At the end of every day I have over 100 text messages and 100 emails to manually delete from the watch.
This has rendered the watch pointless...
Does anyone have any ideas?:crying:
This morning's Gear Manager update seems to have fixed some of it. Email notifications have been clearing for me when I delete the email at least. I still have a stuck "Missed Call", and I don't think it cleared a G+ notification, or maybe I didn't give it enough time. Anyway, it looks to be a step forward.

Unfortunately, I've not gotten the update yet. I did reset my Gear last night and reinstalled Gear Manager. That cleared the uninstalled app still sitting resident in Notifications. Not the Gmail problem, though. That's the only email notification problem I have -- my work email (thank jeebus), Outlook, and a couple of Yahoo based accounts all work flawlessly.

I haven't gotten it either. In fact, I have no idea how one gets it -- automatic? notification? Although you can check for a Gear update in Gear Manager, there's no place (that I can see) to check for a Gear Manager update.
I just went into Samsung Apps, wait a moment, hit Menu, then Purchased. It tells you if you have apps to update.

Yeah, I finally got it from the Samsung Apps app. I'd been stupidly going into Samsung Apps from the Gear Manager menu, not finding Gear Manager at all, when the fog in my brain cleared and I realized that's only for looking for Gear apps. In any event, Gmail notifications finally now work fine.
i am getting notifications on my Gear and can tap them when they popup to see the message or whatever. all i have changed is i switched to Watch Styler and now i no longer have the "Notifications" favorite?
when i had it until just a few minutes ago i could tap it and see Gmail, FB, G+ etc... and view previous alerts.
i looked in Gear Manager and it is not listed anywhere to add it to favorites or anything and its just there.
any thoughts as to something i may have done and how to get it back?
thanks

NULL_18 with Aroma mainly stock setup with no Nova on 1.6 Gear Manager.

tried wiping cache and dalvik and no luck
reset without restore was only solution and now its back.

Reset without restoring does the job.
Had the same issue.
Sadly had to reset. So anytime I change the icons in the settings will delete Notifications? I can't even access Notifications in the Gear Manager My Apps. Quite sad.

I don't think it ever existed in gear manager?
Just one of those things that requires a reset to appear (usually because of permissions). Not uncommon for android
I had the same problem running Null 18 and GM 1.6. Resetting was the only way to fix. EVERYTIME you try to modify your favorites apps on GM Notifications icon will disappear again and again the only fix is resetting your Gear. I did it three times just to be sure

Hey guys, so I just got the S5 a couple of days ago and I love it. However, I'm having some problems with the push notifications of certain apps not coming through, yet they do easily on my Nexus 7. They weren't a problem on my Nexus 5, but I have no idea why it's not working properly on a brand new phone like the S5. Each of the apps, like Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat to name a few, are all listed to push notifications and they're set in the main Android settings, so I have no idea. Anyone else have the same kind of issues like me?
To note, I've already factory resetted my phone several times, cleaned out the data, caches, etc and still no use. I am rooted though, but I doubt that should make a huge difference, right? And right now, I'm not using Xposed framework, but before when I first noticed the issues, I was. Thanks in advance!
Taking a longshot here...but have you updated that Samsung Push Service app through the Play Store (and all other apps for that matter)?

if you used Titatium backup to restore any apps that use push, that could be your issue. I restored facebook, instagram , snapchat etc and the push never works when i restore, you need to clear the app out, and just login new for each push app.

Yeah, I did that initially, but that was the first time I got the phone. Now, I've been clearing out the caches and data for each app, uninstalling it and reinstalling it from the Play Store, but still some of the apps don't have the push capability unless I was just in the app or still in it. Some of my problem apps are GroupMe, Snapchat and Instagram. When I had my Nexus 5, that wasn't the issue at all.
Is there anything else I can do to fix this issue?

Check out TB Restore Fixer on the app store. I noticed that when I did Titanium Backup restore, some of my apps were not working correctly and I couldn't reach certain parts of my storage, etc. After I ran it, it seemed to have straightened everything out. (Requires root, of course)
Hope this fixes your problems!
Same problem
I first started having this issue a week ago. I checked all the setting, factory reset, and I ended up switching out the Galaxy 5 through Sprint yesterday. E-mails and FB messenger app was working on data while I was driving home and I thought the problem was fixed. I reinstalled all the apps I was using and over night let the phone charge. When I woke up this morning I noticed two of the folders I made were removed and a widget for S Health replaced the folders spot. Thinking nothing of it I removed the widget and made it to work this morning to find out I had 3 e-mails waiting, a notification on facebook, and another message through FB messenger that did not come through this morning. I am receieving notifications if im on wifi but not through the data now and this is a new phone. I think this may have something to the 4.4.4 release but this is bugging me. Any new suggestions?
I have seen issues with sprint where phone calls are fine but data wont work in certain areas of the city unless you turn data roaming on it apears that the signals are ok for voice but not for data in thoes areas

Data roaming is checked on, I did go in today and saw a roaming guard on data and turned it off but nothing yet. It's been two months and my push notifications are still not working. Figure I'd come here and bump again.
Im having same issue looks like no one has a solution for this... I get all my notifications while im on wifi but soon as im on data i stop getting some notifications. Very frustrating.
