Peel Smart Remote icon popped up on Galaxy S6 and it freezes

Problem: Something is wrecking havoc. No recent downloads (that I am aware of). The phone froze, I did get it turned off the first time, then an icon popped up, white outline of a phone with vibration symbol. I clicked on it and the phone froze again. I had to do the 2 button forced shut off. That icon has periodically appeared on my home screen and as long as I don’t touch it, all is well. What is it?

Solution: The icon is actually a picture of a remote control and the vibration symbol actually means the IR transmission and based on your description, I’m positive you’re seeing the Peel Smart Remote icon and yes, it may cause your phone to seemingly freeze.

Since you couldn’t recognize the icon, I’m sure you’re not using it. Just disable it so it won’t cause any more trouble.

1. From any Home screen, tap Apps.
2. Tap Settings.
3. Scroll to ‘APPLICATIONS,’ then tap Application manager.
4. Swipe right to the DOWNLOADED / ALL screen.
5. Scroll to and tap Peel Smart Remote.
6. Tap Disable.
