my info background pic

does anyone know how to change the background of my info?
If you're referring to the "Today Screen" where you see stuff like calendar appointments, unread messages etc then do this...
Start -> Settings -> Today -> tick "Use this picture as background" then click "Browse" and browse for an image.
No, the reference is more likely to be for the "my info" screen displayed if the user chose so when the device is awoken or rebooted.

Problem with "All settings"

I have a problem when clicking the "all settings" in the settings tab, sometimes it won't work.
I've searched and found that somehow the system deletes the files, so i have to go to "windows\start menu\" and delete the Settings folder and create again, than do a soft reset, so the system puts the programs back.
Do someone know what is happening?
I figured out the problem when visiting the settings I have to press the end buttom and do not click on de X, if I'd click I'd shut the all settings down and couldn't open.
Don't know what happens but the answer is DO NOT CLOSE THE ALL SETTINGS

[Q] NFC tag to mute only the email application?

I want to be able to mute the Samsung "Email" app (work email) when I'm at my desk. Reason is, I don't need three devices alerting me that I have an email when I'm already sitting there starting at outlook. However, I don't want to completely mute my phone. I still want other alerts, ringtones, and notifications to work. I just want to turn off the notifications for the default "Email" app. Is this possilbe? I have a handful of writable NFC tags. I couldn't find any app in the playstore that offered this as a standard option. The only option I could find is muting the entire phone.
I see the Email App can be muted two different ways, could be many more:
1. Settings > Sound > Samsung applications > Email > [account name] > "Email notifications"
2. "Email" app >Settings > Account Settings > [account name] > Notification Settings > "Email notifications"
Any help would be great! Thanks!

Delete/Silence default email app

Hi,
I use an thid party email app, Bluemail on my phone and would like to either delete or "silence" the default email app. As of now I get double notifications on every mail. I cannot seem to figure out hoe to turn off notifications or delete the default app.
Anyone?
Cheers!
Hi,
Did you try to remove your account from the standard email app by just set it back to it's defaults?
maybe:
Settings - > Applications - > Application Manager - > Email - > Storage - > Clear data and Clear cache)
Or(if you just don't want to see notifications from the mail app) disable the notifications from it by:
Settings - > Applications - > Application Manager - > Email - > Notifications - > disable Allow notifications
So both ways should work to get rid of notifications from the build in email app but with the second you will be able to use it further.
Hope I could help you.

Weirdly inconsistent Notifications settings

Some recent update to the "Google" app has started making it create notifications for news stories it is just sure I'm dying to read (I'm not). I went to Settings > Notifications and the list of apps there doesn't include "Google". I went to Settings > Apps > Google and it does exist and has a Notifications setting I can use to turn off notifications.
Any clues why Google isn't there in one place, and is there in another?
