Go to settings > apps > peel remote > advanced > apps that can appear on top > allow permission, by default this is on, just click the slider to turn it off. <br /><br />I know the widget is a pain, but I do actually use this instead of a remote, so dont want to disbale it entirely!

It partially covers the sign in and I have no use for it. You can't move it on the screen either, something you could at least do with the other. Any ideas?\<br /><br />Puddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02417524008996997588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399960513082382706.post-25954698973492671532017-11-07T23:59:06.653-08:002017-11-07T23:59:06.653-08:00@Todd - This does seem to work now; the app has ch...@Todd - This does seem to work now; the app has changed quite a bit since I originally made this post.

I have to accept with any phone that it will come preloaded with many apps that I don't use or need, but to push uninvited and unwanted additional apps on our phones, as opposed to updates to existing ones, is a bit of a liberty and disgrace. If I want an app, I either buy it or accept one of the many free apps. But at least I have a choice in the matter.

It worked fine and was convenient. However, it remains in my draw down notification screen. It isn't blocking anything. I just cannot swipe it to the right to get rid of it until I need it again. It isn't taking over my phone screen like others described. Is there anything I can do other than disable the entire app? I just don't want it running in my notification window all the time for no reason. I have Verizon service on my Galaxy Note 4.
