Where is the explore option in the new maps? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Just as the title says. I updated to the new maps and cannot find the explore options for local places.

To add to your questions about the new maps, I can't find:
- Measure
- Large Text
- Display Zoom buttons
I must be blind/missing something, and can't find those either.

Thanks....that is so unfortunate, I used them constantly w/the previous version. I hope they get re-integrated, the measure tool was particularly useful.

Yup, no measure or zoom buttons = no upgrade for me, i use them all the time. I heard that they were shooting for a more iphone look. ie. less options. Funny really, everything apple made fun of with their "1984" anti conformist ad campaign they actually became. I digress lol

Explore didn't appear for me until after several minutes in Maps then it just showed up.

Try exploring in a more populated area possibly. I live in LA so there is no shortage of exploration.

Strange. Well you can always uninstall and reinstall from the play store. That actually even got rid of some of the lag I was experiencing in the app.

Removing "Sent from" signature.

Hello to the forum. This is my first Android phone. Just came from the iPhone and I doubt I will ever go back.
I did a search and have not been able to find anything on how to remove the "Sent from my Samsung SHG-I777 using Tapatalk" Is this a Tapatalk issue? Mail issue?

2 completely different apps.
in tapatalk, you go into settings, and hit Tapatalk signature set it to NONE
in mail, look in the settings and you will find the option to turn off the signature or set it to whatever you like
that being said, which one are you looking for?

[Q] Screen On Notifciatons

When I get a text message, my screen lights up. How can I make the screen not turn on when receiving a text notification? I am running GS4 Premium Rom
Go to the messaging app and hit menu.
Somewhere down the list is a checkbox for disabling the screen on when receiving message.

This option is not there in the stock ROM. I'm running ME7, soon to be rooted. How can I make this option appear, so that I can turn it off?
Not sure. I'm not on the latest update. Maybe somebody else can help out

I am rooted but I swear I remember the option being there.
And I was wrong though It should be go to main messages press menu then settings is where I found it.
I just looked at my changelog and it seems that there were a few things added.
Like I said though, now that I think about it I very well could be wrong but I could have sworn it was there before I rooted and rommed

If you look at the feature in JellyBeans it seems it's something he enabled.
Yeah I saw that earlier. I stand corrected. If you want the mms.apk so you can push it to your phone I will upload it for you guys.
My bad I just thought I was on stock when I made the post earlier this month.

What the hell did Samsung do???

Samsung really messed up right now, they're trying to replace Google services with their BS! First they removed Google TTS (which I had to manually put back through root). Holding down the menu button brings up Sfinder instead of Google now, they don't let you OTA if you've rooted. Wtf is going on! I'd personally like the option to choose to open Google apps instead of having to use Sfinder and svoice. Is anyone else feeling kind of pissed about this stuff

Agreed. Hopefully one of our debs will come up with a way to re map or hardware keys soon. As for the no otas, could not believe that.

Hold the menu button in Nova and keep it held for an additional second or 2 and Sfinder will pop up. I disabled it through root explorer

personally why would you want to OTA with root? Chances are you will lose root. They do that for safety, less problems. I remember phones bricking all the time when you did OTA, just do the updates from xda. And personally... I'd never compare samsung to apple. That is just a horrible thing to do man.:silly:

well Id recommend waiting. It might be harder to root again if u go back to stock
Now I'm stock with root and I'm up to date on the latest firmware. It took a while though because of the whole device status blocking an OTA but I got it. Now I'm just gonna wait for more custom roms to release

Disabling soft buttons

So title says it all....is there anyway to disable the soft buttons? I give my phone to my boy so he can watch videos and movies but he hits a button every time. Not sure if there is a hack to disable them since I have pie or on screen soft buttons to use.

Two options that work good in my opinion.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zoodles.kidmode
Kid lets you block access to apps selectively. So no web browser or play store from angry birds etc.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.kidslock
And if you are using mx player for movies, then lock them into the app with this plug in.
Good luck, kids are much smarter than they appear with these devices!
