Not sure is the stock camera app is supposed to look like this or not? Mine has these 4 buttons on the top left corner. Is there any way to remove these because they are kinda in the way?

go to settings >accessibility > Services and turn off Switch Access.
if its not that, you have some app that is enabling that setting. Something like Google Screenwise, etc.

Yup that's it! Stupid app. Is this a glitch because I don't ever recall this being an issue before?

Apparently I didn't use my flashlight app enough and it fell out of my quick settings. I can see how to get rid of something, but I can't find anything on how to get it back. I also don't see it as an app anywhere else.

Are you rooted? Have you made any changes? Maybe you installed something to change it
Not rooted, no new apps. I used the WiFi hotspot and then the flashlight went away.

I found another thread with the same problem but no solution.
http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...681-where-did-built-flashlight-disappear.html
Is there an answer or am I just SOL?
It came back! I didn't do anything, my flashlight is just in the quick settings again. Yay!?

I wonder what the "time limit" is. I have never used the cast screen button in quick toggles and its still there. I've never lost a toggle.
It will also disappear if you have the camera app open.

Is it certain that it uses time or usage frequency to decide to show something or not? I'm thinking that it is more likely that the flash device crashed, so it took away that which was inaccessible. A reboot made the device accessible again, and back it comes.
Flashlight disappeared from Nexus 6p.
Flashlight disappeared from Nexus 6p and camera app couldn't be started, crashes.
Device restart resolved the problem.
Solution:
The solution is simple. Go to Google app and do a voice command to disable flashlight. Be sure that the Google app give you the message that the flashlight is off. Restart the system and look for the flashlight tile. It should be back.
This works on the 6P with Android 7.1.1
Pull down the Quick Setting Menu. When you do, a pencil will be displayed on the notification line.
Tap the pencil and you will be able to edit the quick settings menu.
As you can see I did search this topic...can't even find an answer on google. Which worries me...
Often, I'll swipe down from the notification bar which turns the app I'm viewing, if capable, into a multi window view. This is incredibly annoying. Coming from the Note 4, there was a quick toggle (or in settings) to turn this off. I can not seem to find how to turn this function off with the S6. Any help out there?
I was just going to post the same question How the hell do you turn off that annoying multi view crap?
I wanna know this as well and how do I turn off the lightof the back and the cent button also?

I mean the back button and recent button, it lights up as soon as you touch the screen, there was an option to turn this off in S5.

I think I saw some settings for it in "/data/data/<settings provider, whatever its called>/ <blah>.db" (can't remember the exact name). So if you have root and sqlLite Editor you might try looking there
UPDATE: this database is the one I'm talking about:
then click on Data
Then click Data Aagin
Then Click com.android.providers.settings
then click Databases
CLick Settings
Click System

I do have root...so this will take remove the multi window? Considering we just got twrp I may just wait for a custom ROM lol
I found the new MultiWindow gesture pretty annoying. On my S6 every time I swept down on the notification bar using one hand I'd always create a floating window. On other Galaxy devices there is a Quick Toggle to turn the MultiWindow feature off/on. The ability to control the feature is still in the S6 however it is not exposed in the user interface. I wrote a small application that can either enable/disable MultiWindow or bring back the MultiWindow Quick Toggle. It was primarily written for the Galaxy S6 however it should work on most of the devices that include Samsung's MultiWindow. Look for "MultiWindow Toggle for Samsung" on the Play Store.

Works perfectly. Thank you very much
I stumbled across a custom quick setting app yesterday and I thought it was worth sharing. It's kinda limited at the moment but you can change tiles, hide status bar icons and enable percentage in the status bar battery icon.

The app does allow you to add a custom tile though, which is more than you can do with the system ui page. Hopefully it gets more features soon.
I'm on stock and neither of these work for me.

Did you hold down the cog at the top of the quick settings pulldown, if it's active you should have a little spanner next to it.

Yeah holding down on the settings great does nothing for me.
I need to get did of that stupid do not disturb option that's there.
Very annoying
your doing something wrong, i'm on stock and works for me

Dunno what in doing wrong all I gotta do is hold it. Weird
Worked for me although I had to try holding the cog down twice before it opened up the options in the settings.thanks for sharing the secret!

make sure you hold it down in the center of the cog and I would give it like a good ten or twenty seconds if need be. Mine took two tries and then it worked perfectly.
Still no go..
I'm using a rro layers theme but don't see how that can effect it.
You have to hold it down for a while. I did it for 10 seconds.

Makes no sense why this doesnt work for me..Guess I'll just wait for the settings in a custom ROM or something.
The cog actually spins under your finger, use a stylus or something that will allow you to see the cog whilst you press it.

Do you have a little wrench near the cog? If you do, it's already enabled. Then, go into settings and scroll to the bottom.
ill give it a shot but none of that is there...no wrench and no action when holding.
also make sure you dont have animations in dev settings turned off. animations must be on for it to work.

You dont actually need this app. If you hold down the gear in the top right of the drop down for about 5 seconds it will have a pop up saying you enable the additional settings. there is additional menu in settings now. Best feature is being able to see battery percentage.

I've been trying to figure that out for an hr thanks
Tried to find a solution for this irritating thing
Evertime I install an app an icon is added onto my home screen.
Can't find the on off switch in the home settings or the display.
Is it somewhere blooming obvious? ☺
It used to be an option in the playstore but it's not longer there, unless you use a new launcher it will always happen.

I personally really liked MIUI10's recents panel, and not a big fan of LOS's.
I'd like to have a "clear all" button that I can easily access (though, not at the top), and I feel like besides "lock" and "close" it might be useful to have () to get to app's info page (e.g. to clear cache) and a button to go to its AppOps or privacy guard.
Maybe someone knows of something similar already out there?

go to google play and download Recently by Chainfire. this will give you the close all button back. it will also shut down apps that have been running X amount of hours and you can limit it to only have X amount of apps displayed in recents.

That sounds interesting! I'm using Gravitybox for the clear all, but it places it at the top of the screen. Do you know if this moves it?
