Despite of the almost identical features that the Samsung Galaxy Note3 has in common with other large smartphones, such as the other Samsung S series devices, the difference with this new Samsung Galaxy Note3 lies in the way by which the users can configure the power or quick menu setting in the primary notification. It has indicating lines separating the primary notifications from the secondary ones in order to make it more visible for its users and provide more user flexibility and benefit.

Remove icons from Note3 screen?

On my Note3 I can't find where to remove the sound icon or the waving hand

The waving hand option/feature can in fact be dis activated by performing the steps below so that you will be able to stop this from happening. I have noticed that the hand gesture can in fact be a problem when you do not want to use it and it harms your functions on the device.

In order to be able to get rid of the waving hand gesture you can perform the steps below:

-Use two fingers to pull down your notification bar

-Tap on the Hand Gesture option to make it turn from green to gray

-This will turn off the feature on your device

What does the multi window icon mean?

I need to know what this icon is used for.

Certainly! Please click one of the tutorials below to read more on the mode.

• "How to turn on Multi window on Samsung Note 10.1 (2014)";
• "How to create a new window group when multitasking on Samsung Note 10.1 (2014)";
• "How to drag and drop content when multitasking on Samsung Note 10.1 (2014)".

All of these explain the functions of the Multi-window icon, and the tutorials are applicable to any Samsung device.

Can I restore some convenience functions?

I had to restart in safe mode to remove Kid Safe Mode and lost several convenience functions. I can no longer slide down top of screen to view the notification quick panel. Press & hold home button for current apps and Google doesn't work. Press and hold return arrow no longer brings up Sidebar/panel.

I'm actually trying to figure out how to remove ADS that suddenly started appearing on my Samsung Galaxy Note3?

I'm actually trying to figure out how to remove ADS that suddenly started appearing on my Samsung Galaxy Note3! One website said to hold down on "Notifications" and it would tell me which app is causing the ads, but I don't know where or how to "hold down" on notifications. I'm not sure what they're asking me to do. I have scanned for malware, and can't find any. . . IS YOUR SERVICE FREE?. I have tried: I am currently running CCleaner to see if that helps.. I think it was caused by: I have no idea! One day my phone was fine. I've had it for 2 1/2 years. Then suddenly when I wake it up, there are ADS floating on the screen! Even before I can unlock my phone, I have to swipe these stupid ads off the screen!!! They have even popped up WHILE I'm writing something in Facebook AND when I'm trying to answer a phone call!
