sneaker/shoe icon?

[wburkett]

Does anyone have any idea what this sneaker/shoe icon means on this screen? It just showed up last week and I can't seem to do anything with it.

It's the pedometer from the S Health app.

It's the step counter. Go to SHealth and pause the counter if you don't use it. Also, make sure that you disable the Pedometer in your Lockscreen options (Settings, Device, LockScreen, Show Information).

Thanks, SD - taken care of - I hadn't gotten into SHealth yet, so I don't know how this just decided to show up.

I already have a step counter in my watch, which spends more time 'on me' than my phone, so I just went ahead and disabled the step counter on my phone on day 1. I don't need the extra battery drain

I actually like it, but thanks for explaining how to turn it off.

If you don't have a more 'dedicated' step counter, then yeah, I'd recommend just keeping it on! It's fun! But like I said, the phone is sometimes on the desk while I'm moving around the office or my house and the watch takes care of notifications and step counting. So it was more accurate for me.

I signed in to S health and have n pt use it! yet
But yes this is ironic i see that sneaker and the 1073!

Does anyone know how to slide the phone on instead of pressing the button when go's into screen saver mode.
I have to press the bottom button , is there a setting to slide the screen with pressing that button>

It's in your app draw (or should be!)
