So disappointed this wasn't already answered It sounds like the same as my question, a circular floating menu that when you click, spins up a series of icons with functions like Settings.

This little button which overlays every screen and seems to be able to always get in the way:



Which opens this circular menu:



I don't seem to be able to determine the correct terminology to search for this. I can't see any apps other than Launcher3 that should account for the menu.

Any help gratefully appreciated

Welcome to the forums. That looks like the floating dock included under the accessibility settings.

If you can't find this option in the accessibility settings try to disable it in settings - smart assistance - floating dock.

Javier, you are, of course, a hero

On mine it was Settings -> Smart Settings -> Float Multitask

Thanks so much!

 

[Javier P]

Hahaha. Glad it helped and thanks for the follow up! It'll be very helpful for other users with a similar issue.

Yeah, they change the name of that option and the place in the settings for different models and even system versions. Glad you managed to find it.

Just put your finger at the top of screen to pull down screen and look for navigation Dock tab touch it and hey presto floating white circle has gone. Touch the tab again and the circle comes back! Simples

Welcome to the forums. If you can't find this option with the different steps given on this thread you can use the search feature in your general settings. Open the settings - tap the search/magnifying glass top right - type 'dock' or any other similar word and see which options you get. Tell us how it goes.

I have just resolved this issue. Go to SETTINGS then SYSTEM then SYSTEM NAVIGATION then scroll to NAVIGATION DOCK and slide to OFF.
Hope it helps. Frickin' irritating isn't it!?

Thank you, Sarah. After going through all the other suggestions, most of which I couldn't find, yours fixed it for me. Question is, how did it appear there, because I have't set it. The other question is what is it supposed to do?
