[Q] Backing out of app into easy mode home screen. - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use the Gmail widget but whenever I am done reading and go to back out of the app, it takes me to the easy mode home screen. I don't have easy mode enabled, how do I get it to not do that?
I should note that it doesn't happen if I use the app icon instead of the widget so I know that's an option. I'd really like to know how, or if I can stop this.

RE-Order applications

Hello,
I was wondering is it possible to re organise the application on the x10 so i can put my favourates nearer the top and on the first page?
thanks for your help
You could put your favourites onto one of your home screens. That's what most people seem to do.
go to one of the home screens, slide up the apps panel then hold your finger on the app you want until it vibrates the app panel will close and you can drop the app onto the screen.
Simples!

thanks for the reply.
yeh i did have that set up before but im using timescape as my homescreen now so was hoping id be able to just reorder the entire list of applications so the ones i want are close to hand.
done
its ok i figured it out...if u hold it down for ages it wil let u move each app...
How do I reorder the menu?
I want to move some apps to the top of the application list (NOT the home screen).
I'm pretty sure that you can't.. although No1 Fred might say different?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Wow, thought it would of been one of the first things they would of had aside from changing from list to grid.
I guess that's what the home screens are for though.. although if you use timescape as the home screen then you're a bit knackered!!.. (Does anyone find it useful to use Timescape as the home screen?? I know a few have tried it then reverted back to "normal" home screen..)..
Plus if you install a different app launcher (open home or Helix) then you can have more home screens.. and organise your apps into groups.. (I've got 5 screens with Games on one screen, internet stuff on another.. clock and calendar on the centre, then "System tools", then useful gadgets on the fifth..)

dell stage ui home widget

hi all
ive searched everywhere but could not find the answer to this problem. the home widget in the stage ui where the recent apps are also has a weather app in built (shining sun). it has been saying 'getting location' ever since i updated to froyo. it never gets my location (i dont want it to also). now is there a way to remove this part of the widget? i have deleted accuweather app from the system. i would like to remove this aspect of the widget also. please help
that would take an entire rewrite of the app. mine said getting location for a while too, dunno what makes it choose whether or not to work correctly. overall, im a little disappointed with the stage widgets. theres no config, and they dont seem well thought out. the home app only showing recent apps with no ability to place your favorite apps you want to launch quick on hand, whos brilliant idea was that? they would be a great idea if they didnt feel like they where done a bit half assed.
Cant agree more! Long press home button already does that.
A more useful widget will be to list most used/ favourite applications instead of to list recently used applciations.

Adding non stock widget with settings

Don't really know how to word this but I seem to be unable to add a widget from the following app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.sandnersoft.Arbeitskalender
On my Xperia S I click the widget and it brings up options to set. Once done I hit the back button and the widget appears on the selected homescreen.
On the Nexus 7 when I click the widget it still brings up the options. However when I press the back button it just goes back to the widget selection screen and doesn't actually add the widget.
Wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar?
Never mind. Got in touch with the author and he advised it is a bug and he is working on it.

Facebook Home

So I recently installed Facebook home on my S4, and it seemed pretty cool.
One thing I want to ask are the privacy concerns. I unchecked the option to use Home as a home screen and app launcher.
I did put Use Home as a lock screen.
How much Data can they collect from me if I do that? If I use Touchwiz to launch all my apps instead of using FB home to do it.

[Q] Getting Easy Home after back button use?

Hi,
Using Nova Prime. I'm noticing the phone going to the cartoonish Samsung Easy Home a lot when I back out of certain apps or widgets.
Example - insert a Gmail 3x3 widget. Tap a message (which loads the Gmail app). Now try to back button out to your home screen. You get Samsung Easy Home and not your actual default launcher. This happens even with the stock TouchWiz Home as default too.
Anyone else seeing this?
I'm using Nova Prime also and that has never happened to me.
Have had the same thing happen even though easy home is turned off in settings. With Stock launcher
