Questions and Answers
I can't get My Magazine off my phone?
I don't even know why it's not coming off. I've tried like three different ways, and I can't just press "turn OFF" because it doesn't show up as available. It's really annoying, and I want it fixed.
Some S5 devices do have that application as pre-installed.
- To remove it, you can root your device, turn off Magazine, and uninstall it, but that would mean voiding your warranty.
- The other method is less intrusive, but less effective, as the application will still take space on the phone.
- Install Nova Launcher [1] or
- Apex Launcher [2] to take full control and get rid of annoying Magazine.

I followed the instructions explicitly and went back to home screen and there it was again. I went back to app manager>all apps and there it was running again. This battery sucking demon won't go away.
