I give up. I can't figure out what the stylized "N" in the notification toolbar is. I've attached a screenshot. Can someone help me out?
Thanks!

Thanks! I figured it was something simple like that. This category could use a pinned "Stupid Questions" thread similar to the one in the Galaxy S4 forum.

hey whats up everyone.
Does anyone know how to turn off the task bar? When you click on the battery or new message Icon or Signal Strength it brings you to another page and then you choose which Icon you want I.E. message/Battery level/Comm manager). I turned it off on my Diamond but I cant remember how I did it and would really like to on my Pro. Its really annoying.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Here
Settings>System>Task Manager>Button
Then uncheck both entries.
Whoops
Misread what you were asking.
Go to
Settings>System>TouchFLO Then uncheck the bottom checkmark.

Is there a way to keep the keyboard from popping up (temporarily)? So I want to keep the keyboard from showing on a certain website.
Here's the deal: on a website I like to visit there is a small animation and a place to type in your response. The keyboard pops up and covers the animation. I actually don't care about typing my response - I just want to see the animation. Thanks

Not exactly the answer you are looking for ... but you can close the keyboard by pressing the back key once.
--L.
One way you could do it is to download Smart Keyboard Pro and go to Settings --> Advanced Settings --> Hide in Portrait.

Thanks, mattdm - that should work and I may very well use that suggestion. Does anyone know of a free alternative?

TouchPal keyboard has that. When it pops up, there's an arrow pointing down on the right side and it'll disappear. swiftkey has that feature too .

The thing is that the keyboard doesn't disappear quick enough before the animation starts and it is a quick animation so I miss the beginning. In case you are wondering what the heck I am doing... I am learning ASL fingerspelling. A hand spells letters of a word at different speeds for practice so if I miss the first letter, I miss the word.
Thanks for all your help everyone!

My suggestion will do it instantly. I know there's a free trial version of Smart Keyboard on the Play Store...try that one and see if it has that feature.

Is there a way to remove a vibration pattern I created.
Thank you
Eric
Googled only saw ways to create
Hold down on the vibration. It'll ask what you want to do.
Thank you Biz. The only option it is giving me is Rename.
I hope this isn't one of those kinks that I have to factory reset
I like stuff clean and this would drive me nuts. LOL
Thanks. I hope u can help more
Eric
Hmm. It gives me the option to delete.

Can you tell me exactly the steps you take from a homescreen
Maybe you are hitting the category "create vibration" (or whatever its called..not near phone) and Not the vibration itself
Thanks a lot

Glad you got it. Glad you posted that as I didn't know you could set a vibration pattern for contacts.

I got my first Android phone on a Friday. Having a blast with it. But, I've been trying to find out what this is. Can't figure it out. Tried searching for it but can't find it.
It showed up on Saturday and never goes away.

I was thinking Settings too. But why is the icon on the left side, all the time. And how do I remove it?
any chance its a blue half circle? if so its the multiwondow app selector, just hold the back button to make it go away

I've personally never seen it. I also don't have Facebook installed. I would do the suggestion above, or try touching it and see what happens. You may just need to confirm something.
It doesn't go away even after pressing clear notification. I've tried pressing it. Nothing.
Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Hi,
I am on latest version of coloros 7. I have tried everything I know but have not been able to get rid of these home screen animations which look like brackets at the border of the bottom edges.
Please help.
Attaching pics for clear picture. Note the brackets () at the bottom edges.

I have tried resetting themes to default. Home screen settings to different drawer styles. Changing icon types. Assistive ball off.
Everything literally in home screen and lock screen magazine menu.
The thing is it happens only in full screen mode. With navigation buttons, those brackets dont exist.
Btw, do you have these jn your mobile?

Very strange.
What is "Assistive ball"?
Sorry but I can't replicate this on my device.
Maybe someone can help who has the same issue

And you don't have these bracket things?

There is also a line in the middle which is aligned with the bottom edge. Its not associated with home screen settings. I have no idea what it is.

Maybe check developer options? See if there's anything in there that has been activated.

I have absolutely no idea to be honest.
Have a look and see if there are any toggles you can turn on or off.
One at a time. Check. If no...turn back on/off. Check another.
Just a thought.
As I said...I cannot replicate the issue you have and it is clear that you have some settings on your device that I don't, so I'm kind of looking at this blindly

Ok ok. Thanks anyway ?
On a different topic, could you suggest me a good back cover and screen guard for the device.

No problem.
I still have the original case and film screen protector that came in the box.
Found the solution
This is pretty much a swipe up to trigger google assistant, it appears when you turn on gesture control and it's a prompt (albeit not a very good one) to make you understand how to trigger it .
Since you can't swipe up from the middle to activate the assistant you need to swipe from the corners , do so 5 or 6 times and eventually the prompt disappears.
