Just got a replacement Galaxy S4 and noticed a couple differences between my old and new one. The new one has a blue line going across the top just underneath the notifications bar. It took me a minute to figure out it was indicating the battery life. Also, at the top of the screen in the middle of the notifications bar is a power-off icon. It stays at the top of the screen even when I pull down the bar. I keep accidentally hitting that power-off icon when I'm doing things. It's annoying and it's in the way. I can't figure out how to get rid of these two things. I mean, in the notifications bar I have the battery picture and the battery percentage next to it, so I don't need a third thing telling me how much battery power i have left. How do I get rid of the stupid blue battery line and the power-off icon.

Golfdriver97: Those two places were the first two places I looked. Nothing there.
Javier P: I took your advice and looked very closely at my apps and I found the culprit. It was one that I had downloaded to help me transfer stuff off my old phone onto my new phone. I uninstalled that app and those two icons are now gone! They were annoying. Thanks for your help =^.^=
I attached a screenshot of what it looked like. You can see at the very top the power-off icon and that blue bar. I kept hitting that power-off icon almost every time I swiped down. Talk about frustrating! So, if anyone in the future has this issue you can learn from my mistake and take a look at their downloaded apps.
Solved!
