Making the one touch home button's only feature be access to an intrusive data caching app that gathers more info on you than a parole officer, is... well I just don't have the words, but annoying seems like an understatement. Even worse, no you cannot disable it. Some built in apps, like AT&T's USELESS paid navigator app can be turned off (though not completely removed) but My Magazine is special. They smeared that feces so deep into your phone, you'll have to jailbreak it to remove...which voids your warranty. I know that's not the answer you were hoping for, I was pretty disappointed myself, but we are lucky to have an otherwise unbelievable device. Just keep complaining, anywhere you think Samsung is listening (they've got more spies than the NSA, so shouldn't be hard) and maybe they'll concede to the masses and either offer a way out, or not hit us again with it next time. If you jailbreak your phone, please let us know how it went...Good luck
Careful on the rooting it can void the warranty and stop over the air updates. It is a fairly painless process if done on a windows pc and if your fairly conversant in android, I for one have a mac and its not doable with that yet. But to the topic my magazine is a useless piece of bloatware. I though leaving Verizon would minimize that but apparently AT&T and now Samsung are stepping down to their level.
The way I addressed the issue with My (garbage) Magazine was by changing launchers, to Nova. That took care of it completely.
Swipe up doesn't launch it and Home button neither! And the best part is that it was free - and better than Touch Wiz Home! So the product may still be installed, but it doesn't run! YippeKiyay!!!!!!
