I'm running Nova launcher at and every time I drag down the notification bar is always has a bar there for KNOX, is there a way to get rid of it so it doesn't run in the background.? I'm not rooted or anything
Thank you!

You can uninstall Knox.
Press the "Knox" button, to actually log into homescreen launcher (if it don't happen automatically), press the "menu" touch button on your phone, press "Knox Settings", and then press "About Knox", and "Uninstall".
Hope it helps.

There is a check box in settings to check it off. Another technique is to use a app like Titanium Backup Pro to freeze it.

Titanium requires root, OP is not rooted.

Here is the check box for Knox Location. Go to settings under General then Device Admins then first item listed, uncheck KNOX and see if it helps. Being a bit paranoid, sort of like crossing the street and hitting the crossing signal button, still waiting, still waiting. Just wonder if that checkoff box is more a distraction or pacifier then the real deal.

Seem to be having issue with icon not disappearing from notification bar.
Have tried task killer but still not going away.
Can anybody help.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
get advanced task killer free from the android market
install, go into it, select the program your thying to kill and simply press the button at the top, "kill selected apps" as far as I can remember..
if that doesnt work go into the app (hotspot or whatever you're trying to close) press menu and see if it has any options to do with the notification bar icon...
hope this helps! good luck!
Thanks for your reply but already tried both. Just won't go away and really don't want to wipe.

reboot the phone, or get a start up task killer (I dont know any, but still, try).
I previously had a GNEX. Loved the swipe up from home shortcut for Google Now. On my Note 2 the only way I see to launch Google Now is by holding the menu button. This is ok, but it brings up the keyboard and recent search entries causing clutter (and yiu have to press the back button to make the keyboard go away). And the prior search results stay on the screen.
Is there a faster/better way to quickly access Google Now?

I use Nova launcher and can swipe up for GOOGLE
Gesendet von meinem GT-N7100 mit Tapatalk 2
Use Swipepad: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1vYmkuY29uZHVjdGlvbi5zd2lwZXBhZC5hbmRyb2lkIl0.
(which is a must have app for any android device)
Then put google now in one of the slots. All you have to do then is swipe up from your chosen hotspot to it and you're set. :good:
You can do it by a long press on the menu touch button, or dragging the google shortcut from the lockscreen.

In my OP, I mention the menu way. It's annoying because it brings up the keyboard and recent searches. You have to hit back to get rid of the KB and the recent searches stay there. It's not ideal.
I downloaded swypepad, but in order to use more zones, you have to pay. Lame.
Oh well.
Touch the word 'Google' on the left-hand side of the perma-widget.

So your's doesn't do this when either holding the menu button or touching "google" on the search bar (widget)?
What?
If you use Nova, you can bind Search Text to "long press menu". That brings me the Google+ screen...

You're right, it does pull up the keyboard, but if u start scrolling through the cards it all disappears.

Long press on my home button brings up my recent apps and three icons at the bottom.
Pie chart, Google and dustbin.
Press Google for Google now. No keyboard or recent searches appear.
However, if i touch the word Google on the search widget then Google now comes straight up but with the keyboard

Same here. Stock Unrooted after 4.1.2 OTA. No access to Google Now Menu. Flashes briefly then disappears. Tried to clear cache but won't clear. Tried to uninstall updates in application manger but hangs on uninstalling screen.
Click on the bar at the top to bring up your keyboard and now the menu will stay open.

Menu won't stay open whether keyboard present or not. Using Swiftkey.
Finally got the Google Search update to uninstall and the menu opens normally when not updated. Hmmm.

I have the same issue. Re-updated and menu flashes and disappears.
Add me to this list also. It's a bug in the new search update. It really sucks. Thankfully I don't need to use the menu/setting that much.
If I do I can get into it via settings.
Do a dummy search first, then try it....

Yep, this worked for me too. Now if I can just figure out why my battery life took a hit with the new update. Life will be good again.

I was able to get into that menu. But I still can't get into the menu if nothing is typed in the search bar.

Quick update. Still happening.
Workaround (based on previous posts and trials)
Open Google Now.
Type a space (or any placeholder text in the search bar.
Close the keyboard and retry the menu key. The menu should now pop up and float there.
The search bar seems to have to have something in it for menu to not instantly close again. I've put as little as just that space and it works.
Wonder how Google missed that?

I would hypothesize that this is a Samsung Twiz ROM issue, rather than a Google oops...Trying it on my PACMan 20.1 install I fail to get the bug.
Anyone in this thread so far not using a Sammy TWiz ROM?
Uninstall and re-install Google Search. Clear Google Talk data in App management. Reboot.
It'll work after that.
After update to 4.3, when i long press the back key, it doesn't bring browsing history in Internet browser (I disable multi-windows). How can i bring this feature again?
Enable multi-window from your notification toggles.

The back key short cut has been disabled. You have to hit the bookmark button in the upper left of your browser. This will bring up the history tab.
What happened to the Settings Button that you could add to the Buttons across the Home Screen "Settings\Display\Home touch buttons" Settings Button "III" (line are sideways and not straight up)
This button is not available with the G4, I have apps that utilize that button.
Does anyone have any info on this or how you might be able to add this??
Thank you
Try holding down the recent button.

I tried what you had said, that take you to the Phone Settings Menu. I have always in the past used Enhanced Email for my email program. With that app installed there is no way to get into the settings menu. I think that there are a few other apps that you can't get into the Setting Menu for too, but that is my main one.
That's the "info" icon that you are describing. In Android 5.1, this was replaced by the 3 dots icon, typically located on the top right of the app that you're trying to access the menu on.

Yep, holding down the recent apps button will give you the menu option in every app.
