Is there any way to remove these buttons? I believe it's tied to Smartthings but I looked in the app and dont see anything in the settings for it.
Tried uninstalling it and looking for it in adb without luck. The buttons still remain after being uninstalled.
Yes, pull down again on that screen and on ... menu in right top corner deselect show media etc.

I just got a Shield at the weekend, and I'm loving it apart from a rather annoying snag that I have come across.
When I call up the menu within an app, I get the usual bar along the bottom of the screen showing various options.
Usually, the rightmost option is 'more', which brings up a sub menu with further options.
For some reason, I can't select any of the options in the 'more' menus on any of my apps.
I have tried using the buttons, the touch screen, and the mouse pointer, but none of them will highlight or select options.
This is close to a disaster, because most of my apps have something important hidden away in the submenus, and I can't use them properly on my Shield.
I'm using some of these same apps on my Xperia Play, and they work fine.
Have I got a setting wrong or something, or is this a bug in the Shield firmware?
Can you give an example of an app so other users can try to repro?
EDIT:
False alarm!
I thought my Shield was up to date, but I guess it wasn't.
Updated Android, and the menus are working fine now.
Hi.
I installed 5.1.1 on P6800.
I tried to find out the way, but failed.
When app using full screen, status bar and soft buttons (home, back) is hidden.
They appears when I swipe down from the top of the screen, but sometime I need to retry more than twice.
And my kids are not familiar with this situation.
Is there any solution for this?

Hi. Recently i have installed the PX5 firmare from Mayalysk.
Everything runs perfect as it should.
The only think that is annoyning are the notification icons (download arrows etc) that apear rundom on the top of the Screen.
Is there anyway to make then disappear? I've searched evrywhere in the settings but i couldnt find anything.
That's not buttons. It's notifications, slide down from the top and remove them by swiping them left or right
I didnt mention buttons. I talk about icons. Notifications.
Sliding down the top of the screen shows the menu (Wifi, airplane mode, Brifgtness etc )and no the notifications...
I cant find a way to get rid of them.
Any application perhaps?
Prefer the navigation buttons but,wish you could hide them all,or,on a per-app basis ? (no such animal on this phone as-is,unlike LG's,one of the nice touches LG pulls off flawlessly)
There's a few apps in the Google Play Store that do just this & no root required.
I'm using this one,but,have used others w/similar results:

This one I've used as well,works flawlessly:

You will need to use ADB to enable the hide function,afterwards,you're good to go.
(each app has its own unique command,but,accomplishes the same thing,see each app for details regarding the exact ADB command).
One MAJOR added benefit:
Before using this app,most apps that were full screen were lopped off at the bottom,just above the radius (on the left or right in landscape,however you use landscape).
Using this app helps to fully hide the quick settings on the bottom of the screen,which I think was the culprit. (You can still swipe up to access quick settings & navigation buttons).
Now,all apps,especially those that we bought this phone for (games/You-Tube & the like),can be fully enjoyed utilizing the entire display.
There's a setting under Settings\System Navigation that'll let you hide all three nav buttons at the bottom of the screen and still function as they should. You can even flip the order of the buttons. You can hide them completely or select small dots to represent them, or you can select small underscore symbols. The left is for Control Center. The center is Home screen. The right is the Back button. You trigger them by swiping up.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah, that's true, but, this method gives you more control on a per app basis, that's the reason I posted this.
VIVO's take on it is a step in the right direction, but, IMHO, as with most of their software choices, is severely flawed,too much iOS inspiration & not enough common sense for a cleaner & functional U/I.

I have accidentally deleted the settings icon on my screen (I swiped up too hard and fast and deleted it instead of opening it)
How can I navigate to settings without the icon?
How can I restore the icon?
I'm able to access the settings on my device but swiping down on the notification area and selecting the settings icon.
I didn't know it was possible to delete the icon from the app drawer...
Of course!!!!
D'oh!
Now that I have found settings again (thank you thank you) I'll go about recovering the icon to the "desktop"
Arrggh!
I can't restore the shortcut to the "desktop" and because it's still a new-to-me phone, I like to have it there.
It is in the list of widgets, but when I try and swipe it to the desktop nothing happens!
IMO the easiest way to recover lost or deleted Android app icons/widgets is
1. To touch and hold on an empty space on your Home screen. This method should cause a new menu to pop up with customizable options for your device.
2. Next, select Widgets and Apps to open a new menu.
3. Tap Apps. From here, you can choose the app icon that you previously deleted by mistake.
4. Hold the icon and drag it onto a space on your device. (You can rearrange it later.)
Your app should now be exactly where you want it to be, and it’ll be ready to use right away.
