Hi there, I'm running paranoid android and just installed go locker. It works fine, all exept a notification that won't go away. It says: tap to launch&configure, and can't be swiped away. Clicking it opens up go locker, but the notification stays.
I already went to settings on my phone, and unticked the box to show messages, but thats not it.
Does anyone recognise this problem?

I have cyanogenmod 4.2 nightly on gs3 having same problem. Just flashed today so haven't tried all the usual tricks, yet. I guys I'll do the hokey pokey and then report back my findings.

Settings> applications> golocker> un check notifications. I cleared cache and data before I noticed this and it cleared it. So I hope this makes it permanent.
Just upgraded my galaxy S4 via the AT&T over the air update from 4.2 to 4.3 and now I have the same issue. Clicking "turn off notifications" under the Android settings - applications - go locker didn't resolve the problem. Thoughts?
I've been having this problem as well from GO Locker and the Side Dock from GO Launcher.
I've done the above fix and it's worked, but I haven't restarted it yet to see if it stays.

Ok I restarted and the GO Locker & Side Dock ones have gone, but the GO Launcher EX one has comeback asking me to turn "System Persistent" off.
It goes after I click on it, etc bit always returns after a restart.

Can someone tell me why the google search bar on the top of the homescreen sometimes says google on the left and sometimes its just a magnifying glass?
Also is there a way to remove the bar from the homescreen all together?
Thanks for replies guys
As for the Google/magnifying glass question I can't say. You can remove the search bar by using a different launcher such as novalauncher.
I'm not certain but I think you might be able to remove it with the stock launcher by removing the google quick search apk but that might not be true.

simply disabling google search in the apps menu gets rid of the bar, but it's useless as it doesn't give you the space back for icons. It just looks funny now because you'll have blank space you can't use.
Just use a 3rd party launcher.

Theres no specific time. Ive only had the phone a couple of days. When i first got it it said google but now its just a magnifying glass.
Ive noticed on a video on youtube aswel that it changes in the review. If you look at the video at 0:16 thats how my search bar looks right now...
Hm, mine's never looked like that lol.
Annoying... I like it better when it says google.
I hate not knowing why things do things. This is going to drive me crazy until i find out.
I cant be the only one obviously with it being in this video aswel...
Is there anyone out there who can solve the mystery lol
what os version are you running, maybe it is fixed on 4.0.3 and you are on something earlier? I have never experienced this either, pretty sure it has always said google.
I've had this happen a few times before. To fix it I would force stop the launcher. It will reload and "google" will be on the search bar again. It must be a bug.
Yeah maybe.
I rebooted the phone and it went back to google again.
Im on 4.0.2 stock.
I noticed if you touch the search bar and keep your finger on it then the google pops up underneath the magnifying glass.
Maybe its just a bug =/
This has been happening to me the past couple days on both my transformer prime and nexus

Just installed Autostarts, hoping to take care of some of the wakeups that are killing my battery.
What have you disabled from autostarting?
I'm on Jedi 6.1.2, debloated a good bit, but Android has been waking my GN2 up over 500 times during the course of a day.
Awesome question I've been meaning to post it as well

Everything for Google Maps? Not sure what else to turn off. :S
I disabled everything except email, calendar. Even maps. Why the hell do I need maps running background? I am not using check-in apps or such...

Well not exactly all... you cant disable all. Its just common sense. Leave the system apps like phone, contacts, clock etc.... I disabled almost all 3rd part apps just left the ones that I want it to start such as beats audio, lux light etc...
Is it possible to completely replace stock sms app with another app like gosms or handcent ? so the stock sms app will be deleted witought causing problems.
You can remove it but I'm not sure if the app itself is required to actually send/receive messages. Why do you need it gone so bad anyway?
Because my philosophy is "one app for every function" I hate having two apps for the same function.
app info > disable
Well if you really want to, you can use Titanium Backup to "Freeze" the app. It will remove it from your launcher and everything just as if it were uninstalled. You can un-freeze it if it breaks something. If you want to take more drastic measures, you can use root uninstaller. But if this breaks your SMS functions, you need to know how to get it back.

app interaction with the system is all about Intent, the ability to broadcast to Android "hello, I'm an app with SMS capabilities, and I can do the same tasks that stock SMS app do"
Like you can remove stock launcher from a rom zip as long as you put in another launcher's apk.

If you have a custom launcher you could always hide it and stop the push notifications.
Good to know ! Thanks guys, you've been great help.
Now someone can close this thread for it is no longer needed
Every time I change the tab from portrait to landscape (and vice versa) I get this little pop up message. Anyone have any idea why it's showing up? I have the sprint version if that makes s difference.

I can't believe they did not make an app update to resolve this. Someone at Samsung sales must be looking for another job. Or his dad owns the company
Many thanks this resolved it for me too on my pro tab 8.4

Where do I go to clear those?
Typically one can try goto settings> apps> all apps tab> scroll to and tap watchon app> within app info tap clear cache then clear data button.

It works, just uninstalled WATCH ON App. Bye bye error, which was annoying as @#&%! I thought my tablet was messed up! Not. Just that WATCH ON App. Great help from original poster. Now if I could only get my typing errors accurately auto corrected SAMSUNG.
Those of you that are uninstalling the WatchOn app, how are you doing that? I have an AT&T (T707A) and I don't ever get the option to uninstall it. I can disable it, but it comes back after a while. I've even reset the tablet a couple of times hoping that would trigger the uninstall prompt, but nada.
I have the same issue. But I'm not with AT&T. I purchased mine at office depot. Talked with samsung several times. They didn't even know how to fix it. I can't delete it. If I disable it, it just enables back. What can be done to fix this. I have the tab s.....
I'm using a Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1, SM-T520. I cleared WatchOn cache to solve the SERVER DID NOT RESPOND, TRY AGAIN LATER message.

Thanks! This fixed it on my Tab S!
That worked for a day or so...but the server error came back. Sigh
Can't clear cache, keeps saying computing.
I'm on the latest stable and then tried the latest beta build to no avail. I'm on Android 8.0 beta on a Nexus 6p. Every time I add a direct dial or direct message widget nova crashes. No amount of reinstalling reseting or clearing of cache seems to fix the issue. I reached out to support but haven't heard back. Anyone else ever an into this an have/know a workaround?
Not helpful, but I'm having the same problem... both with Action Launcher and Google Now launcher. Also cleared cache etc..... I noticed a problem when the original widget called the wrong contact.... I then deleted the widget with the intention of re-adding, but now can't.
I can only think it's connected to Google Assistant which I've just just enabled.... I can't find the way at the moment to remove it unfortunately!
---------- Post added at 05:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------
OK, so I've removed myself from the Google app beta programme, which seems to have reverted back to Google Now from google assistant, but the contact widget is still crashing the launcher and not adding... hmmmmm...
