[Q] Getting rid of "Samsung Account Notice" on home screen? - Samsung Gear Live

How to get rid of "Samsung Account Notice" on home screen?
When I bring my watch up to look the main clock shows up along with the "Samsung Account Notice" at the bottom of screen.
I've swiped left to get rid of it as to see the whole clock, but when it goes to sleep, it comes back the next time I look at watch. I've swiped up and it says "Tap here to see details" and tapping does nothing, but when I swipe left, it says "Open on Phone" my phone lights up, but it shows nothing on there.
What do I do and how do I get rid of it? Very irritating!

I just got this watch yesterday, so I'm sure I'm missing something simple.
BTW, the vibration on this is crummy... one short weak burst that I hardly feel.
Having some regrets about getting this as I bought it for text alerts.

Also out of the blue, I get the "step" box. I don't want it so why is it showing up sometimes?
Can I disable that feature?
I'm not getting any answers to my questions above?

I've never seen the "Samsung Account Notice" that you mention, so I'm not sure what the cause or resolution might be, but have you set up the Samsung stuff on the phone? maybe there is something incomplete or incorrect there. Check in Settings->Security on the phone.
For the "Step" card, go to the "Google Search" screen that shows up when you tap the awake screen, scroll to "Show me my steps" and select it, swipe left 2x, and change "Show step card" to off.

Operator Name

Im in Brazil, so... im not in t-mobile's world, my phone is a unlocked one.
My question is, the network operator name doesnt appear in any place...
Lock screen... notification... etc...
Im using the cyanogens 4.0.4
It is normal? Its a rom issue?
I don't think it's supposed to be displayed all over, it's not on my lock screen and I don't know why it would be in notifications.
You can see it if you open settings app, scroll to "about phone" at the bottom, then chose "status".

My phone is unlocked running on O2, and I see it labeled on the lockscreen and when the notifications bar is pulled down...
Actually yeah, it is supposed to be on the lock screen, but I thought it had been removed on purpose, but looking closer, the separator line is still there, so probably not. Guess it's a bug then, still correct in settings.

Lockscreen Doesn't Lock...

Hello all,
Was wondering if anyone is having the same issue as I am. My lock screen doesn't seem to actually lock the phone.. i.e. if you press an app without sliding it up, it just opens. The lock icon, however, is still displayed. My lock screen style is set to productivity, and that still all works, and I have no security set up. It's worth noting that it was working with no issues up until a day ago, and nothing has changed :/
For further clarification:
By not working, I mean that before I used to have to slide the tab up, or to launch an app I would have to drag it up, but now that doesn't work.
Here's a video showing what I mean:

This just started happening to my AT&T HTC One tonight! I found this post by doing a search to see if anyone else had experienced this same issue on their One.
Also I can no longer drag the icons at the bottom of my lockscreen up to get into that particular app. And pressing anywhere on the lockscreen seems to unlock the phone and take me to the desktop.
I'm using the "music lockscreen" style, fyi.

I just figured out what was causing it on mine... I actually received my Pebble smartwatch in the mail today and had installed the Pebble Android app onto my One. This also required going into the Settings on my One and enabling Accessibility for the Pebble and Pebble Notifier and these 2 accessibility settings were what was causing the lockscreen to behave this way.
Don't see anyway to get around it so far...

Wow aha actually I did install the pebble app just before it started happening.. I wonder if it's a problem on pebble's side or htc... good catch though!
Yeah, not sure of that either. I just wondered and posted about this myself in another XDA thread I found on this very same topic:

I have got this on my HTC one, I have come from an iphone and wanted to have the screen turn on when any emails are received. These show up on the lockscreen so when I'm driving if I get an email the screen turns on.
I can use several apps to do this but they all require to be enabled in Accessibility, if I do that the lockscreen unlocks when its touched anywhere as mentioned earlier without swiping. If I disable the accessibility setting its all back to normal but the app doesnt work....ie. the screen doesn't come on.
Any one figured this out yet?

I found a work around for it. It requires root access, Tasker and Secure Settings.
What I did was create a Context that is activated when the display is on and then using Secure Settings, disable all Accessibility for all events. As an exit task, I re-enable all my accessibility apps.
Now when i turn on my display, I actually have to slide to unlock.

Under the profiles tab
Press the + icon in the botton right corner
Select State
Select Display
Select Display State
Change "Is Off" to "Is On"
Press the back button
You should have a popup of available Tasks (if you have any)
Select New Task +
[Optional] Give it a name
You need to do the following section as many times as you have Acessibility services
***********************************************
Press the + icon in the lower middle screen
Select Plugin
Select Secure Settings
Press the Edit button

You should be back at your main profile screen.
Long press the green arrow of the task you just created
Select Add Exit Task
Repeat the *********** section but save the accessiblity services as "Is Off" for all your services.
Tasker has a bit of a learning curve, and hopefully this will get you started.

Thanks for the write up its really appreciated. I'll give it a go.....
M.
Efox29. That works very well.. Thanks again for the advice.
I've got this set up as well but for me it is extremely hit and miss. Nearly 50% of the time I still get the single touch unlock and the other half of the time tasker works perfectly. The only thing I can think of is that my pin unlock causes a problem but why only half the time.
Anyone else have this problem?
I suppose I should be happy my problem has been cut in half but I wish it was completely consistent.

It's not ideal but works ok, for me it's better than nothing.

Actually having used this tasker solution for a few days now it works about 75% of the time and seems more reliable if the screen has been off for a while vs reactivating the screen very soon after turning off. Still sometimes I get the one touch unlock after the screen being locked for hours. On the whole the accessibility problem still really annoys me but I agree this solution is better than nothing and so far I haven't had any more accidental call answers.

has anyone noticed that another issue with this accessibility bug is that the screen will flicker or flash black for a split second after unlocking? again, this only happens after you turn on accessibility for an app.

Lockscreen notification hidden menu - how do you access it?

I stumbled across a hidden menu while half asleep in bed.
It let my light the screen upon a facebook notification, and it keeps it lit until acknowledged.
From what I recall, it was all white colored, and it was accessed from the lockscreen itself.
Google hasn't turned up anything, nor has any of the settings categories.
Does anyone know how to pull that menu up again?
I want to turn it off (was off be default). I did find someone who also turned it on inadvertently, and they ended up doing a factory reset to get rid of it.

FWIW, I figured this out. There's three little dots next to the notification that open the menu I was referring to. Went in there and disabled "light screen". Back to normal now.

annoying pop up notice

does anyone know how to turn off this annoying pop up whenever i double press home button to use camera?
and screen over ray disable when i install new apps.
yeah its really annoying!
No but if you do let me know.
Whats the point of quick launching the camera if you have to dismiss that before snapping a pix
I have no pop up message, when double clicking home button, goes straight to camera and it should be some setting you made, because I haven't played much with settings, so mostly factory settings and don't have it. I also haven't seen overlay disable message either and I installed plenty of programs. I got once warning, something wouldn't run (can't remember what) if I don't disable overlay, it's probably some Google protection, so I don't give unwanted permission to program hiding under screen overlay. Personally I think it's all nonsense, after a while people will click OK without even reading the message or not fully understand the message. Probably another setting in security somewhere. Sorry I can't pinpoint exact issue to fix it.
I used to get the Screen overlay warning whenever I was updating permissions AND I had a floating app like Hover Note or Hover Browser floating anywhere on the screen.
The only other time I got it if I didn't have those up was when I had Twilight installed to reduce blue light from my phone. I had to pause it in order to get that Screen relay alert to stop showing up then.
I never get that message and double press home to get the camera all the time

Sudden appearance of extra edge zone that just vibrates when touched

Has anyone had an issue similar to this? I've just had a new edge zone appear right where my right thumb would swipe that just vibrates as if it can't perform whatever action it's supposed to when swiped. I have Edge panels turned off as well as no Edge lighting. I can't get rid of it or figure out what caused it.
Look for One Hand Operation + app and disable it
Finally figured it out, or at least somewhat. I finally got it to trigger whatever it was supposed to, and an app came up. The app looks like some spammy adware that something like GoWeather or an SMS app stealth installed during an update. Once it opened, it didn't tell me what the app was, but had a menu at the top with the following "For You", "Funny", "Entertainment" and "Lifestyle" with a bunch of crap cards and ads displayed. There was a settings button that went into "Bar Settings" and allowed me to disable the tab button on the edge.
Edited to add: It's called "Instant Widget" and attaches itself to apps for install to show ads. In my case it was GoWeather that updated itself and caused the weird tab to show up. Instant widget is not listed in my widgets or apps. I linked it back to GoWeather Ex by googling around for it, and saw that it was saying GoWeather was running when it was. Just wanted to provide information in case it got anyone else.
