N9005 ND3 issues

Hey guys.
Its been a few days after ive updated my note 3 to nd3 (im using n9005 malaysia).
Didnt notice anything strange until I bought my gear 2 today.
I tried to find my s voice in the app drawer and the settings but couldnt find it.
I remember disabling s voice last time and now after the update even the disabled apps tab (menu key in app drawer) is also missing.
It was replaced with hidden apps instead.
Someone help me please.

Double tapping home doesn't turn it on? Did you disable this?

I did disable s voice before the update to nd3.
now I couldnt find it in the app drawer. Heck svoice tab on settings were also missing.
Weird thing I notice is that last time u can disable apps thru app drawer.
Now the option is missing and replaced by hide applications.

If you disabled it, is it not under Turned Off apps in Application Manager?

Some features which are removed from EMUI 4.0

I can see that people were asking about the features missing in Honor 7 after M update. The following are the things which are removed in the EMUI Marshmallow update.
1. Some applications like Native browser and UC Browser are removed.
2. Voice search is removed as it is already integrated with Google Search.
3. Updater app is removed from tools folder, as the feature is provided in the Settings.
4. Screen Lock app is removed in tools, as soft lock feature is provided in navigation bar and Screen lock can be accessible from Google search also.
5. Battery setting shortcut widget is removed.
6. Multi user option in settings is removed.
7. 'Display data usage' option is removed from 'Traffic reminder settings'.
8. 'News and updates' option is removed from settings.
9. Due to security issue app sharing options are removed from home screen
10. Battery setting option "fast Charging" was removed. (Thanks to @non-toxic)

10. Battery setting option "fast loading" was removed
11. the step counter app was removed

Yes! But you have had to create a link with Quickshortcutmaker app for it!

So previously it was hidden to the users. Now they removed it. Am I right ?

1- Native browser has been deleted in B190 Lollipop update due to security issues.
3- Updater app still exists, just there is no app icon. You can already use it from Settings.
5- What do you mean Battery Setting shortcut? You can always add a shortcut from Phone Manager app's settings.
7- What is "Display Data Usage"?
10- It still exists, just you don't need to activate it anymore. It detects auto when you plugged 5A or 9A adapter.

How to Disable Swipe Up for Google?

When I swipe up, either from the bottom edge of the screen OR up on the fingerprint sensor, it opens the Google app. This is usually a setting I've been able to turn off in other tablets but can't seem to figure out how to do so on my new M3. It's bothersome, especially because the gesture is overly sensitive on the fingerprint sensor/navigator ie I will attempt to go back (short press) or go home (long press) but it will pick up an upwards swipe and open up Google which I can't stand (it keeps spoiling the latest TV episodes I haven't watched yet!). Anyone know how to disable this? Just uninstall/disable the Google app?

Had the same issue so I disabled Google now. Then I installed another browser Opera and Firefox and now my browsers are using this gesture. A slight upward motion over the scanner and it opens now. I've not found a way to disable it. I tried using on screen navigation but prefer the button.

The only reliable way to disable this gesture is to deactivate the sensor in the navigation menu and then in the same menu you have to activate the navigation bar.

Actually I found if you enable both methods of navigation you no longer get the swipe up gesture activating Google now. It's not the ideal situation but I can use either method.

I install swipelaunch disabler by hairy robot. Its in google playstore.
Problem solved

Thank you @teruhiko666 ! That appears to have solved it and I can turn off the on screen buttons.

U r welcome jmjm003

Just got m3, it's very annoying to have that swipup gesture. Thank you for sharing, it's the best solution.

from "SwipeLaunch Disabler" description:
Important: For Marshmallow (Android 6), it is possible to disable the assist feature.
Follow below steps:
(1) goto "Settings > Apps > Advanced (the small gear icon) > Default Apps > Assists & voice input"
(2) select "none"

It worked for me. I'm on Android 6.x. I had to enable swipeup utility as default assist app. Then it worked fine. So much better. Before doing this, Everytime I typed it kept bringing up Google assistant. That was so annoying.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't see any documentation about setting the default app. How did you figure it out?

Unusual Google search bar widget

Hello folks, I've got a strange visual issue with my Galaxy S8:
Huh, seems like I can't link any images. Sorry if I trasgress the board rules in my first post:
hCATSttp://i.imgur.com/xwKihwe.png
My Google search bar stopped being the Galaxy S8's one. The microphone icon is still in the right but the Google logo is now absent, the space is more bright (I think), the corners aren't rounded, and the text "Say Ok Google" is aligned in the right. Practically, it's in material design with the wrong alignment.
There aren't any other launcher installed, I'm still using TouchWiz/Samsung Experience.
How can I fix this problem?
P.S. The similar threads popup sure is useful (not for my case), every board should have something like this.

This has happened to me as well.
To fix you'll need to go into the Google App Settings --> Widgets --> Turn off "Show Updates"
Hope that helps.

Try to go to Settings > Apps and find Google App, then uninstall the updates thru the three dots.

HELP! NFC Permanently Disabled on S10 Plus

My NFC toggle on the pull down menu is permanently disabled, and I'm not sure how. When I search NFC, and look at the app, the disable icon can't be pressed and it says the app is disabled.
However when I go to connections and choose NFC I am able to turn it on.
I don't think it's actually on though, because as I tap my phone to my SONY headphones nothing happens. I believe this is because the toggle switch is permanently disabled.
I have package disabler pro, and I removed all the apps that were disabled so everything is enabled now.
I restarted the device multiple times, but nothing works.
Not sure what is going on, but I really want to be able to connect to my headphones with NFC, bluetooth works, but it is the NFC I'm looking for.
Can someone please tell me how I can reenable it (so that I can press the button on the pull down menu)?
Thanks!

Bump! Can anyone help with this? I really don't want to factory reset my phone.

Your only option is FACTORY RESET

Thank I know that's an option. Anyone else seen this happen or know how to resolve it?

So no one else has had a similar situation to this, or knows what to do?

Long shot here, try taking the NFC button out of the drop down (long press it and move it up and out). Restart your phone, open up the drop down and put the button back in the same way. Just thinking out loud.

Ok so this is really weird. The button can't be found in the drawer anymore. It's not in my active buttons it the ones I can add. So odd.

When you go to pull down the drawer tap the 3 dots upper right and try button order or button reset to see if it come backj.

It's not there.

Have you installed any apps recently, since it started?
There could be an app that's put in place some kind of security policy that's blocked it. Like a work app?
EG: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S-Phones/Galaxy-S7-NFC-toggle-switch-disabled/td-p/79071
Or you also mention Package Disabler. Did it start happening after you started disabling packages?

hmm this is weird.. im also using package disabler pro and never had this issue. you could try one thing - using package disabler, disable all NFC services and then re-enable again - see if that helps

I was going to do that, but can't find the services for the life of me. What are the services?

Okay that's what I was thinking to. How do I check that, do I have to go through each app's permissions?
