Touch Wiz Home issue in Samsung Galaxy S4

[bombarde]

The Touch Whiz is a nuisance and seems to pop up unexpectedly and unwanted. I know it can be useful for someone needing a cleaner and enlarged look. I personally don't like it nor want it on my phone and wish I could totally remove it so it would not catch be by surprise me by popping up.

However, it is easily turned off by going Settings, My Device, Home Screen Mode and then selecting Standard Mode (Rather than Easy Mode).

Several others pointed out this same solution, so I am redundant. But thought it might be useful to share my experience.

Dear Iskandar Muradov

I found the same solution re the problem with TouchWhiz on the Samsung Galaxy 4 and posted it yesterday. I was so pleased that I thought I had solved the problem and then pleased when you confirmed it. Other also had made the same discovery.

To my disappointment, my problem is NOT solved. It again has popped up and when I press the home key, forcing me to select TouchWhiz, Always or Just once.

Can you or someone explain to me why we even need to make such a selection, why can't the phone just do it's thing in the background, and not force a decision on the user at this point? Is this intentional design by Samsung or a malfunction in software or hardware? This Galaxy 4 is my very first fancy phone, and though I like many of its features, I am beginning to regret giving up the reliability of the old flip phone I used for 4-5 years with NO PROBLEMS EVER.

Hi there.

This has not solved my problem at all. When i restart my phone, and i attempt to go onto the home screen that message keeps popping up. It is very annoying as i now have no access to my home screen at all.

As there anything else we can do to fix this problem??

I was able to fix the problem by formatting my sd card.

Remove your sd card and try using your phone. If your phone works fine after doing so, then the SD card might be the culprit.

To format your card, go to settings, more, storage, and format sd card.

But remember, you will lose all your data on the external SD card.

I have a Galaxy S4 and and was having problems getting rid of the Easy Mode view even tho it showed I was in Standard Mode. Here is what I had to do to get the phone to show Standard Mode:

Settings - My Device - Personalization - Easy Mode - here is where I had to click on Easy Mode then Done. Now I went back in to Easy Mode and clicked on Standard Mode. This fixed my problem. Basically all I did was cycle through both modes so it would recognize the Standard Mode again.
