can't remove icons on smart bulletin home screen - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I noticed that a couple of app icons have appeared on the smart bulletin/health home screen during app installation. I can't seem to remove them. move them to another home screen and it just copies them. I did a home screen restore (from the built in home screen backup routine) and it did remove the last icon that appeared though left the those that were present when the backup was made. drag to remove them and they don't disappear either.
anyone else had this issue?

Have you tried to remove smart bulletin then put it back on

yes, tried that, and the icons reappear when it is re-enabled.

after having been there for a couple of days, I've just noticed the icons have gone now and with no interaction from me...

suspect the 10e update fixed it. previously if I restored home screens from a backup it restored the icons that were present when the backup was taken. just tested with my last backup that had 2 icons on the screen and they have not reappeared ☺

correction, noticed the icons were there after restoring them, though it would let me delete them this time.

Dark grey screen randomly

Been shaving a bit of a bug lately so I thought I would see if I was the only one or not. I'm on the at&t pebble blue version nonrooted and I have double tap for s voice and all motion shortcuts turned off. But one in a while it doesn't feel like I will push any thing and my screen will go to a dark grey almost like the background to s voice but s voice isn't there. touching the screen doesn't do anything and when I push the back button it brings me right back to whatever page I was on before. I've had this happen mostly in the messaging app but also in some games and the xda app so I don't think its too picky.
Any ideas what could be causing this/fixes?

Note 2 problem

For some reason when I detach my s pen, the s pen icon and page buddy aren't showing up. It's making the sound and vibration but no icon or page buddy even though it's turned on. Secondly, does anyone have blocking mode icon in your scrollable settings in your notification bar? I thought mine was there but maybe I'm mistaken.. Anyone know why my s pen/page buddy isn't showing up? For $700 I should not be having this problem.

there's a setting for that option in the settings menu did you turn it off?
Interesting... I'm running nova launcher.. I switched back to touch wiz and it worked.. Now I'm back to nova and the icon is showing up when I pull it out. So I guess it's a nova launcher problem?

As far as I can tell those are TW home screen options. I use apex and don't have them either. Blocking mode is there on mine also

What the hell? You have blocking mode at your scrollable settings at the top? I thought I did last night, then I used it for the first time and now it just see it in my normal settings..

It should be between mobile data and power saving. What ROM are you on? Are you using the 15 toggle mod?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
I don't have the mobile data one either. No rom.. I'm stock with nova launcher prime. I only find mobile data and blocking mode in my full settings. I remember having mobile data on my scrollable settings on my s3 but not on here.. Wtf is going on?

I just talked to another guy who has the att version and he does not have the mobile data or blocking mode toggle either. What's going on here? I'm trying to find out if I have a defected device or not

I do not have either of those in my pull down either. Mine totals 10.
Yeah man I have 10 too. Okay I feel better now.. I thought it was just me.

10 toggles here too. Don't need or want more.
The page buddy is touchwiz launcher specific. Your device isn't defective.

Err0xx is correct. I have Nova Prime and it is disabled as well. In addition a few widgets are removed as well. I like tue calendar app because it shows exchange tasks as well. It was removed when I used Nova. I tried to levrage Novas resize feature. Back to the drawing board.

I know that this is an old thread, but I got here searching for the same problem with the spen icon, also using Nova Launcher, and as there didn't seem to be a solution listed here, I thought I would post what ended up working for me. After a little troubleshooting with Samsung, they recommending hovering over the screen with the spen, and pressing the spen button 4 or 5 times rapidly, which I did, and now it all works perfectly. Can't comment on the toggles, but for at least the spen bit, maybe I can help someone out.
Same here...your phone is fine....I'm on ATT stock UCAMA4 build.....g
for custom launcher (apex, nova, go, and so forth) use an app from market called s-pen helper and it'll set you through for pen stuff and also for headset stuff. good luck...

Weird lock screen after restart

So I restarted my phone which isn't rooted but running nova launcher and now the lock screen is different. Its a
Single lil lock at the bottom if I hold it gives me options for email phone twitter and two others with a slide to the right to unlock and to the left for camera. If i get a text it comes up on the left in the middle and I have to hold it down and it does a load bar to open the msg. Can anyone explain to me about this and how i could change the icons like twitter and all.

Kool. Glad we could help.
It changed back to what I was describing after I woke the phone back up

I can restart the phone and it goes back to normal slide lock screen then after a min it goes back to the one I described. I deleted nova launcher to see if that was it and it was not.

Can someone tell me if that's normal.

OK,
So my nexus 7 have been rooted and unrooted a lot of times, I know how the process works.
And I don't think my problem comes from there also.
Yesterday I unrooted the device , I flashed back the factory image, the latest one, all went well.
And today I changed the lock screen widget with another one, but I noticed one thing , the kitkat lock screen shortcut to access the camera was gone.
So I deleted the widget and got the stock clock back on he lockscreen hoping it would solve my problem, but it didn't.
So I did a factory reset, and still not there.
Since I had no chance with the method that I took I reflashed the factory image, and still not there.
Like you see in the picture there is no camera shorcut at the bottom of the lock screen like its supposed to on KitKat.
What should I do?

I don't have a camera shortcut on my lock screen, and never did.

Yes. You can enable lock screen widgets in the security settings. It's not going to automatically add a camera widget though.

There is no camera lockscreen widget on the stock Nexus 7 2013 rom and there never was.

HD Widgets Status Bar Weather

In assuming that there are quite a few people that use HD Widgets, so I'm hoping I might be able to get some help with this. I'm trying to use the status bar weather notification that is built into the app. It works perfectly fine until I reboot my phone, and then it only appears after I open up HD Widgets - then it will work like it should until I reboot again.
I've changed literally every setting that would make sense to change in the app for the problem I'm having, and nothing worked.
Any suggestions?
