I made the the mistake of activating the lockscreen password feature of my Galaxy Note and now I can't seem to deactivate the feature. When trying to turn off screen lock password under the security menu - you will see in the screenshot that it "deactivate" option is greyed out.
Anyone know why its like this? How to go around this problem? By the way, I am using ICS Version 4.0.3.

Nope its not a custom ROM. I'm using the official update from Samsung.
setting - security - screen lock - select None
Edit : sorry just now seen screenshot, its not available for you.
are using any password storage appl n deleted it?
I think wiping can solve this, but not advisable on ICS.
have you tried changing the option ? Like selecting Pin Number, Then see if 'None' becomes selectable ?
Sure is strange

Hi,
If you go to the samsungdive.com website and register your device, you will be able to reset any activation priorly set with the remote 'unlock screen' feature.

Thanks for all the replies. Was able to finally reset the "unlock screen" by doing it via the samsungdrive website. Now its back to its default setting which is "swype". Thanks all!

Thanks a lot. Using an exchange account locked the screen of a Note 2. This was the solution.

Same happened to me, not sure whether you've had solved yours.
Anyway, go to Setting<Security<Clear credentials
i know this is an old post, but i faced somewhat of a similar problem. couldnt select any option but pin and password, everything else was greyed out.
go to settings---->security---->clear credentials (at the very bottom)
its caused by some certificate which doesnt let u remove lockscreen. hope it helps.
Other notification works but the stock text message does not. I've reset uninstalled And reinstalled and still nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm wondering if the problem is caused by the phone turning on when i get a message?
Had the same issue. Exchanged gear watch and still resulted the same. Exchanged phone and problem dissappear.

It definitely is a wake lock issue. Go to settings> lockscreen> lock automatically and select "immediately" mine was set to "5 seconds" once I changed this I can read my text messages now.

Where do you see "lock automatically"? I don't see this under Lock Screen options.
It's definitely the lock screen causing this. If (like me) you turned off the lock screen completely, the sms notifications failed to show on the watch.

It is indeed. This is really annoying. I don't like to use a lockscreen, but I want texts to relay to the watch. What's the root cause? Is the lockscreen widget actually relaying the messages? Is it a bug? Would really like a fix that doesn't require me to lock the screen.

That's unusual. Do you have the latest version of Gear Manager? I think one of the updates killed it for me, because I used to get SMS notifications to the Gear fine. I can reproduce it now by switching to no lock screen and back. I'm running 1.4.102802.

The Samsung App store page for Gear Manager will tell you. I recommend you don't update, because you'll most likely lose SMS notifications to the Gear.
Hi,
I recently got a wireless charging receiver for the phone and now I get this annoying popup which says to close the micro usb properly to prevent water damage.
This happens also sometimes during charging in the middle of the night.
Can anyone tell me how to disable the popup? To make it clearer, it is not the flashing text that appears when the phone is connected to the charger. ( this can be disabled via xposed module)
The one I am talking about is more like a text with a white background picture.
"for protection against water damage firmly seal the charging cover before use"
Anyone else with the "problem" ?
I am on NEE-I9295XXUBMK2.
Thanks for the help in advance.
[edit]
this also happens when I disconnect the device from USB.
No one with this problem?

I second that!
I have found battery_cover_notice.xml in systemui\res\layout
There is an battery_cover_notice_image and an battery_cover_notice_message
The Pic is help_img_usb.png in folder systemui\res\drawable-hdpi
Now you can try and delete the battery_cover_notice.xml from the SystemUI

I tried and it worked ( at least the popup doesn't appear anymore) but I do not have a notification area at the top anymore. No clock, Signal or anything.
Perhaps it's because of the odex file? Didn't touch that.
I will try it again. Might be, I did something wrong.....
Thanks
okay thanks for feedback...
I will investigate this....
So is there no non-root way of disabling this?

I am.
No solution found so far.
Only I remember - that started after OTA update from Samsung in later 2013.
On original software I didn't have such warning.
Before and after is 4.2.2 Android, I didn't notice any changes, so I am lookiing for old firmware to download...
p.s. I also have wireless charger from "indiegogo"

No sorry
Cloud it be that this notice is a toast with a custom theme? You could check it with my app EnhancedToast, and hide it if it is a toast. Enable logging in the app and watch it.And yes, root is required for Xposed. Btw, the Google edition don't show it at all

^Mostly what I was going to say, so thanks.
You should check EnhancedToast if you can, and you could always switch ROM's - I'm loving the CM 10.2 ROM, which doesn't have the warning, and offers a lot of other advantages. If a notification comes up in the bar, long-press it and see if comes up with the "app info" button - it could be run through some sort of stock app that you could disable or uninstall altogether.
Hi everyone! I'm new on the forum and in smartphones as well. Rooted GT-i9252 last week. Starting to develop app in future.

Any good source to learn more of ROMs? What do I lose if I dump the original, what do I get with some other ROM?
How should I backup? Meaning there's lot's of data:
- contacts and messaging and that stuff
- pictures, music, videos etc
- OS (?)
- ROM
- Apps (downloaded and system)
Maybe someone could explain the best practice to backup ROM,OS and apps.
Thanks in advance, Kaptah.

What method of rooting your phone did you use? They are not the same thing, but it is possible to do them both at the one time. If everything looks different, then yes, you would have changed your ROM while rooting.

Install Xposed installer, and then Wanam Xposed, the option you want you can find in the sound options there...

OK I've found the option but it's not the one I was looking for. This one seems to remove the message when you plug your phone to the power supply. Maybe I'm wrong. Anyway thanks a lot for your help.

This problem appeared/reappeared when i upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.3 (ML2)
After rooting ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2690133 )
and disabling KNOXagent it still gives this warning, which it did not do after the 4.2.2 Active Root.
This is merely an annoyance but if someone figures out a quick way to disable it that would be grand.
i have this issue too. cant wait for a fix for this. just updated to 4.3 a few days ago and having to tap the bubble everytime is just annoying. why the hell would they add these rediculous notifications? its not like att or samsung will stand behind the "waterproof" claim anyway..... water damage weather the door is open or closed means your screwed no matter what.
I've personally tried using the "EnhancedToast" module for xposed and the prompts do not register as toast events. It has to be something else.
How do I remove the app suggestions which are at the top of the app drawer it's driving me nuts
Must be an easy way but I can't work it out
Thanks
Search home screen settings in the settings and turn it off.

Seriously. I mean i read, that they removed settings in emui 9.1, but why on earth would you remove features, from a perfectly running system. I mean first they break split screen app switching on android 7 and never come jund to fixing it and now forced app suggestions. If anybody finds out how to get rid of them help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi All, i'm not sure which system pacakage i disable, i'm not able to use split screen. Click on "Open in split screen view" but nothing happen.
hopefuly someone can enlightening me, i do not want to reset my phone. Thanks.
If you've been disabling system packages without knowing what they do then no wonder you have issues. Maybe provide a list of packages you did disable so we can try to work out if they would affect screen split. Otherwise we are just searching in the dark.
managed to solve it through restoring some of the packages i debloated earlier by using ADB AppControl. Split view is working now.
Which package did you restored, because I have the same problem?

I thought that app was for the edge panels. I'm surprised that would break split view. Just goes to show how far reaching some apps really are. Glad you sorted it.

That actually makes some sense because depending on which edge panel you enable it will only allow split view capable apps. which is a giant PITA for me. I hate split screen and have managed to disable it so I can use my panel as more like a quick launch bar....but i can only add split view capable apps to the bar.
