Has anybody else noticed the new pop up menu in the lower right corner? If you hold your finger in the lower corner a cool fan menu pops up!!

Can you post a screenshot?
I'm not seeing anything new,or,anything actually that resembles what you describe.

The only time I see a fan menu is when the S-Pen is removed.....
 
I tried but every time I try to do the screen shot that menu pops up and the other one closes... but I have an idea....
 
I took a pic with my camera but its not to clear

It's prolly from that DU Battery App on your phone.
That app is CRAPWARE/MALWARE,seriously.
The company behind it is notorious for snooping around on your phone,with the list of permissions granted,you may as well send them your phone unlocked:



Device & app history

  • retrieve running apps
Identity
  • find accounts on the device
Contacts
  • find accounts on the device
Phone
  • read phone status and identity
Photos/Media/Files
  • modify or delete the contents of your USB storage
  • read the contents of your USB storage
Storage
  • modify or delete the contents of your USB storage
  • read the contents of your USB storage
Wi-Fi connection information
  • view Wi-Fi connections
Device ID & call information
  • read phone status and identity
Other
  • close other apps
  • install shortcuts
  • control vibration
  • run at startup
  • access Bluetooth settings
  • draw over other apps
  • read battery statistics
  • pair with Bluetooth devices
  • read sync settings
  • connect and disconnect from Wi-Fi
  • toggle sync on and off
  • change network connectivity
  • prevent device from sleeping
  • view network connections
  • close other apps
  • measure app storage space
  • modify system settings
  • full network access
My advice: uninstall IMMEDIATELY...............
You're killing your battery w/this app & most/all other similar apps do the same.
 
You were right! I just uninstalled it and the menu is gone!! Thanks!!
:) Glad to hear it. :)
The devs/companies behind these apps are snake-oil salespeople.
Another that was popular for some time was the folks behind GO Launcher.
Very popular,but,as folks begun to take notice of what they were up to (snooping,in a word),they've lost some of their popularity,much as Yahoo came & went.
Bottom line:
On install & updates,ALWAYS check the permissions granted.
If it sounds like a bit much,trust your intuition & keep the warez off your phone. :thumbsupdroid:
