Samsung Lollipop question
Hello,
My Galaxy S4 upgraded on Friday and I'm almost over the shock and dismay at the way my phone looks and behaves now and I'm getting into terms with the reality that I'll need to live with an interface designed for kids and teenage girls from now on.
However there are two elements that are really driving me crazy because I need to see them every time and I haven't found a way to remove them. It seems they are both Samsung additions. I have almost a year left in my current contract before I can get a new non-Samsung phone, so I hope somebody has a solution.
1. Very ugly red phone icon and animated arrows on the lock screen.
It is so kindergarden and so ugly - it is simply unacceptable.
2. Samsung spam in the notifications. When you drag the notifications bar in the middle of the notification screen that appears there is a big spam block with buttons for S Finder (that I do not need and will never use) and Quick Connect (that never works). Every other button on that screen can be shown or hidden, however those two can not be - the banner is always shown.
