The Icon From Hell - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

This icon keeps popping up constantly and randomly. When I tap it it takes me to Facebook Messenger and there's nothing new there. I did a full factory reset and it's still there. Any ideas why it pops up or how to kill it? I disabled badges but this still shows up in the app.

another reason to hate that intrusive, obnoxious, annoying app Facebook..

Facebook:
you get what you deserve.
just the name transpires shallowness.

Well, I dont like facebook and everything related, Bk took good care of that, but, it seems op uses it, so, if some facebook user knows how to help him, do it

Agreed. I hardly use FB these days and when I do , it's via Samsung browser. I do have FB messenger Lite installed however. Here's a kicker, if I press that messenger icon it opens the Play Store for me to load and install the full flavor version of FB messenger.

My N8 is rooted and used Titanium to get ride of FB and a few other annoying apps. Generally use web to access sites in lieu of an app.

For anyone searching: I uninstalled Facebook Messenger, cleared that problem notification, and then reinstalled Messenger.

Good for you, I really liked the title of the thread

Anyone notice that there is a IM (a process, not shown on applications) going on if you open the Advanced Taks Manager list, on a hero?
and the process name is just "IM" and from the look of the icon it is an instant messenger. Does anyone know if there is such an App? I can't find in when i open the apps library but it shows up as a process.
and does anyone know what is this?

Thanks.
bump for this!
shoot me down if this is a massive assumption BUT
Is this a instant updater for your google mail account? I didnt think I had push mail activated but when I get a new email in gmail I get an instant notification.

The Gmail built-in is Push Mail already, correct me if I am wrong.
Perhaps IM is incoming messages? I see IM and think instant message.
Failing that does taskiller not show whats running?

not really.
that IM process I see has the same icon as the google talk icon, like 2 conversational bubbles with one red and one blue.

Any way to limited "Share" list? jpg in gallery..

Whenever I want to share something in the Gallery, I'm often wanting to push it to Facebook and my stupid share list has grown so large I can't even see Facebook in the list anymore. Yes, Tweetdeck might could work, although it's great for quick views it's missing a lot of stuff the Facebook app itself has.

Anyone ever seen a way to limit this list, except removing apps? I don't use several of them often, and don't want to send a jpg into most of them, but I don't know of any way to change it.
I assume what shows here is all apps which can receive a jpg.. If I clear the Gallery settings, I believe this list shrinks for a while but before long the apps are all back in the list.
I have the same thing, although at least my Facebook is reachable. No idea what's even off the top of the screen lol

I removed a few apps and now I see Facebook, but.. Bleh... I think it must put them in the order they enumerate, I recall at one point thinking if I ran Facebook first or last, maybe it'd stay at the bottom of the list where I could reach it.
Might sort them top-down as most-used... Awesome

[Q] Default Zoom in Native E-Mail Client

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to change the default zoom within the native e-mail client?. When i open any messages they always appear half zoomed in, i have to quickly pinch and zoom out to get the experience that i want.
I currently have gmail and yahoo accounts set up and it's the same for both.
When i go to read a mail it looks like this :-
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And i want it to look like this (which i can achieve by pinching and zooming out every time but that gets tiresome!)
Hi mate!
Can you tell me how did you manage to set up yahoo mail account???
I can't do it!
edit
Found it!
It is kind of shocking, but it is that way on android, nothing to do about it, I have been searching for a solutions for years.. Even in ICS, it's still the same for both email and Gmail. I can't understand how so many people can use Gmail and be satisfied with it, in gmail you can't even zoom out, so have to scroll to the sides to read.
actually, on the note this issue is not as bad as on small screen phones
K9 app can make this right, but has some other bugs.. I found k9 works ok if you set max amount messages to no more than 250, I have two email accounts. Unified inbox gets incredibly slow if you have more than 500 messages.
Thanks Nick5000, it is rather shocking that such a customisable platform like android doesn't cater for this, I'll give k9 a go thanks.

[Q]Amazon emails always open in Chrome

I always have the pop up asking me which browser I'd like to open a URL with in Samsung stock email app. It works all the time and I primarily pick Samsung internet when prompted.
However, for emails that I receive from Amazon if I chose Samsung internet as depicted below they still open in Chrome.
Any ideas why ? Thanks.View attachment 4634250

Funny how when asking a question it triggers ones brains to actually look into the matter more. LoL. I think I figured it out in case someone else wanted to know..
It was the below settings defaults menu that I changed to remedy my issue. It was originally set to "in this app" and I changed it to the below "always ask". Now I get prompted again to pick which browser or app to use to open URL with.

I disabled Chrome browser myself. I like the ad blocking and Samsung Pass features available in the Samsung browser.
Glad you figured it out!!

Question WhatsApp notifications !!

hello ,
im wondering if there is a way to make the WhatsApp notification works as always to get the notification or show the massage we received as what I discover is I should open the mobile or enter the app of WhatsApp to make the messages received !!
i give all the access permissions in the setting
Hello, i dont have problem with the notifications, works fine.maybe you should unistall and install again.
When you open the first time an application this is the permission.

It very seems like, it's not a "everyone" problem. I think the server or the notification region isn't set for OP 10 Pro on his site.
DUDE! This is happening with the Realme 9pro+ that I bought! Shoot! Seems it's some crazy issue with ColorOS!
Is this happening with specific Phones or all the mobile Phones have been effected.?
Whatsapp is sh*t don't give it permissions and see how long it takes you get banned also when some messages comes late don't worry it doesn't walk away relax and i can't get rid of some notifications they always come back in the 10 pro like Facebook that app doesn't have too run all the time u turned off every background activity, auto launch and even recent task manager lock all gone and they keep coming back
One thing I've got a problem with regarding WhatsApp is video playback, it's truly awful.
