Just go under the apps and force it to shut off

This is a highly annoying feature that comes preinstalled with Note 3, and if you make the mistake to activate it the only solution left is to do a factory reset. Best thing is to root your device and erase that crap for good. Good luck.

How do you change launch programs?

Really? Could you lay out the steps to do that. I looked for the my magazine app under app manager to turn it off but it doesn't show up under app manager.

U can't shut it off all you can do is go to settings: application manager: all then scroll down to my magazine clear cache and force stop this will just put it back to when u got your phone ie terms and condition page so it no longer has any of your details/accounts linked to it

You can install a launcher from the Google Play Store. Nova, Apex, and Go are some of many options.

Try checking in Application Manager/All category. It's there, at least on Verizon phones.

Ladies and gentlemen!! I MANAGED TO DISABLE THE FREAKING IRRITATING MY MAGAZINE APP WITHOUT ROOT!! I went to application manager to remove all the cache and data of the app and then I forced to stop the process. After that I went to menu (where all apps are ) and when I pressed the filding menu to uninstall apps 'my magazine' the 'x' appeared on the icon so I could finally disable it!!!!!! I'm so released!!!! It appears on the disabled app list!!!!!!!!
If you don't believe me check the screenshot I've just posted on twitter @sangmanlee !!!

Thanks for the update

However, I got lost midway in your instructions. I have bolded the part that makes no sense to me.

Thanks

The My Magazine App pisses me off. I just ignore it, but preinstalling something so intrusive and pervasive without giving an option to disable it is really awful. I sent the Samsung customer service contact an email via their comments page, and got the following reply:

Unfortunately, when I look at My Magazine in Application Manager, the "Turn Off" button is greyed out and c annot be accessed.

 

[jasguild]

Same here MzDrati. The My Magazine Turned Off button is grayed out.

Did you respond to them pointing that out?

 

[fofjjsr]

In the settings of my magazine there is an option to disable the app from opening when the home button is pressed. I forced stopped it once after disabling it opening and it has never been in my running processes again.

Even if you swipe up over the home button (whether accidentally or intentionally)???

 

[JellyBeanGurl]

I've done just about everything that's been suggested here and I still find that the stupid magazine pops up when I swipe! Errr. I really hate that!

Yes. I will post their reply (if there is one).

I guess I never have a reason to swipe up on my home screen, so I don't have that issue.
