I have disabled NFC and all Android Pay/Samsung Pay apps, and still the 'N' icon still appears every now and then, and it will only go away if I restart the phone.
I notice that after a night of charging that most times I wake up and see the icon. I can't remember another situation when it happens, but I'm not using wireless charging so it's not being used. Does anyone know why this icon appears after disabling NFC, and how I could prevent it from doing so?

No, it's stock M. It's the AT&T variant G930A, which does not support root yet.. I'm wondering if there is any other app or something I could be doing that's dependent on NFC, but like I said I can't even turn on NFC if I wanted to, everything's been disabled which a package disabler.

...Clearly then its witchcraft, Voodoo, or the 'Ghost of Near Field Communications Past'... Considering its a phone though, who you gonna call?
In all seriousness, backup and try a full reset after you go through all Settings options fully; try restarting it as well before factory reset. Shouldnt be doing that. I have an S7 Active never had that issue but it would drive me nuts.

Since this reply found out the G930A is rooted now! I don't know where I've been the past week. Anyway, thank you for your help, I'm gonna do a backup and root and freeze the apps. See if that helps.

Okay, so a few months ago, I rooted my Honeycomb 3.2.1 tablet and installed the kernel from joe.stone.
I'm pretty sure they're compatible and all. The tablet model is myPadP4 (Which is only available in Taiwan I believe).
And later on, the tablet is acting weird.
Sometimes it freezes, randomly reboot/shutdown, and recently, I can't even turn the tablet off, it just shuts down, and reboot. (Note that the battery is irremovable.)
I tried the "Quick Boot" app to shutdown, doesn't work.
I tried shutting down via "reboot -p", doesn't work.
Not sure if it's caused by the kernel OR some app that I installed (That's the most unlikely case I think.)
And yes, I did try to do a factory reset, doesn't help.
Any idea? Or I simply have to send it back to the manufacturer?

I dunno if this is needed but just in case.
I'm pretty sure its the custom kernel that's causing you grief, try going back to the stock kernel
remember custom kernels are not always perfect, they may have bugs.

Well crap, kind of expected that, problem is I dunno where I can grab the original kernel now.

well if the dev is still supporting the kernel, you can wait for the dev to fix all the bugs.
if not, there not much anyone can do.
guess that is what you get for buying a cheap unknown tablet

Oh and it's actually just a ZTE tablet with name changed, just re-published by one of our mobile services.
Guys,
Very annoying problem on my Verizon HTC One M8 (1.55.605.2).
Sorry for the noob-like question, but I want to disable the lock screen and I can't seem to disable it. I know, I know ... It sounds ridiculous, but I'm wondering if the last OTA update disabled the feature. I'm not rooted, yet. Part of the process is to disable lock screens and while trying to do so, I can't. Grrrr....
I go to Security, Screen Security section and just below that I'm supposed to see the "No Lock Screen" option. What's up with that?! Any advice and/or workaround would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I'm on the same update, no root, no S-off (yet). Settngs > Security > Screen Lock > No Lock Screen is there for me, does what it advertises.
You don't see this when you click on screen security?

Yes, I see the options, but the top three are greyed out for whatever reason. I'm ready to reset the damn phone. I have no clue why that changed and it's probably something stupid I did while playing around with the phone. :silly:

Did you setup the phone to synch with an Exchange server? If so, that is likely the cause.

Oh Shiznitz! That was it! I confirmed by resetting the phone and when setting up the access to the corporate email, it greyed out the options. Interesting. Thanks for that little nugget of information.
Is there any way whatsoever to make it ask me what default app I want to choose each time. As in, the old Just Once/Alway complete action dialog?
I've tried Complete Action Plus. Doesn't seem to have any effect.

Nope. It's lollipop forced. Maybe marshmallow it changes... Get used to it.

I'd love this too, but unfortunately I don't think there is. Sucks because I have to keep switching between Adobe and Write on PDF for my business. **** is annoying.

I just came across something last night that's a decent workaround for most things.
Better Open With (sorry, no link; new member) prompts you with it's own UI, which is still pretty intuitive. It works by having you set the default application for each intent it supports (which isn't a lot, but it's most) to itself. Then, when you open something, it will bring up it's own dialog box that's pretty similar to the old style.
It doesn't have as much customization as Complete Action Plus did, but it gets you 80% there.

I thought it was lollipop forced as well, but both my Note 4 and my Note 10.1 2014 are running 5.1.1 and give me the choice of running specific apps just once or always, could it be the Note 5?

I've had the watch for about a week now and notifications have been nothing but problems for me. Everything will work fine and then I'll just stop getting most notifications on my phone. When I go into the gear app on my S8 most of the apps are greyed out and I can't turn them on or off. The only fix I've found is restarting the watch, which really sucks because it turns all the notifications back to their defaults. So 4-5 times a day of restarting the watch and having to change all the notifications I want is getting pretty annoying.

Already running on stock firmware since I need it for s pay. I did a factory reset on both the phone and watch and the problem returned. Guess I'll wait for Oreo and hope it gets fixed.

On new update 12.1.1.0: Android Auto is not working. Just a black screen. I tried re-installing the app. Android Auto was previously working for me (but would never launch apps like Spotify and TuneIn radio, had to start on my phone screen)
How to turn off the chat bubbles? I am using Textra SMS app.

I have the same issues with Android Auto. Tried everything I can think of including playing with permissions, Usb debugging and even hard resetting the phone post update to 12.1.1...however nothing works. I hope Xiaomi will push an update otherwise might have to get another phone.
Ah, I started a new thread on another subforum, I should have followed up with this one, do any of you get this strange popup too?

No I'm not getting that popup. First time using AA too it asks if I wanted to use this USB device for AA, I press yes, but still doesn't work.
Decided to sell the 10 Ultra and get a Fold 2 instead. Lesson learned.

Right? I'm probably selling for OnePlus 9 pro. It especially sucks that no native Chinese/Global phones get good 4G or 5G in USA due to no support for band carrier aggregation.
