    For about 2 weeks now I have noticed mostly when I press the side power button a quick image on my screen what looks like a cable motioning to be inserted into my phone. Its so quick that i am guessing thats what it is. And does not matter how much battery life I have left. I have searched the settings but cant figure this out. I would like to turn that “feature” off. Any suggestions?

    Like the other members, I've never heard of this issue. There might be a way to capture the image you speak of by means of a screen recorder app.

    You can also try booting your Android into safe mode and see if the problem persists. If it doesn't its most likely do to a user app that was recently installed.

    Fixed. With a screen recorder able to ‘grab’ the image.
    It said “swipe up for Notistar”. Which seems to be a Samsung app. Must have installed in the last update. Any, uninstalled it.

    Thank you @ocnbrze :) . In truth, the idea of using a screen recorder started with your excellent advice of taking a screen shot.
