long press on the recent apps button (or one of the home screens) to bring up the screen menu, hit "home screen settings" then uncheck "my magizine"

Ill try this also.thanks man!
I found this too
I spoke with a Samsung rep at Best Buy about it and he said that the Sprint phones were able to circle all the way around like my Verizon GSIII would but for some reason even after removing the "My Magazine" it still won't loop. Hopefully someone finds a solution for this soon.
Put Nova on and spin away!!!!

I hit menu>more>add bookmark> and I check the "add to home" option, nothing happens. Anyone else have this happen too? Is this another "Froyo" wonder
This way works on mine... long press on your home screen... select shortcuts>bookmark then pick the bookmarked web page. Puts it right where you long pressed on the home screen.
Thanks for the tip. Ill have her try this out immediately when she gets home. Thanks

I've been busy and haven't had time to research this and hope someone
will know the answer.
HoneyComb has put icons for some of the apps I have installed on the main
screen. They also are among the "apps" icons when you call them up.
How can I get rid of the main screen app icons (not widgets)?
In Froyo, you could long press them and pull them over to a wastebasket. But
no wastebasket here.
TIA.

Root the device. Check the dev section. Otherwise you'll have to keep them.

The new "garbage" is on the top right of the screen now. Long press and drag them to the top right corner of the screen.

Yes you can without root. Uninstall in the menu section. Hold and highlight the app and uninstall will come up in top right corner

Heh, no you can't unkess it shows up in the My Apps page. Otherwise when you try it fails, but I don't think that's what the original poster really meant anyway.

OK, some really basic stuff here..
You can remove them just like you did in froyo by long pressing and dragging to the top right where the basket appears.
Since you are talking about applications you installed, you can easily uninstall from settings->manage applications, or from the apps grid menu by long pressing and dragging to the top right where the uninstall option appears.
You can disable auto home screen app shortcut creation from within the Market. Select "My apps" then press the menu icon in top right and uncheck "Add shortcuts for new apps".
There is also a setting in the Market - upper right corner menu from the My Apps window. Tap on it and you should have two options, one to "add shortcuts for new apps" and the other to "notify about app updates." To keep those shortcuts from showing up on your homescreen each time you install a new app,untick the "add shortcuts for new apps."
Oops, just reread the post above mine and this option was already listed.

Everyone,
OK, got it. I guess my old eyes just weren't picking up the change
to add the Trash Can when I long-pressed.
Anyhow, got all the apps/widgets/etc. stuff sorted out.
Thanks for the jump-start!!

When I hold an app icon and try to add it to my home screen, I select the option "add to home" and it send me to my home screen without any kind of icon. Help?

Sounds like your home screen is already full. Try moving some of the apps from your main home screen ( the middle one) and place them elsewhere. If the middle one is filled up, it will usually just take you to the home screen and not carry the shortcut for the app forward.
Else, try moving to an empty home screen(any except the middle one) and push and hold down on an empty space. Then, you will see an option saying "Shortcut" or something. Click on it, choose "application" and then select the app you want on that specific home screen and it will just carry it to that empty space you selected earlier.

If you have a home replacement app installed(launcherpro, adwlauncher, etc.) uninstall it and then try. Had the same problem, uninstalling the replacement launcher fixed it. Blur is garbage.
i just had pretty much the same issue. i just installed Go Launcher and the only way to add things onto the home screen is to hold down on the home screen you want to add to, then press add application and then there's a check list for the apps you want to add to that screen.
i know it's off topic, but blur does suck, i was okay with it until i tried other home replacement apps, went back to blur and it physically hurt.
Thanx guys but im perfectly aware of how to add stuff to the home screen and
When its full or not. As for launchers I have 5 different launchers installed including stock MOTOBLUR and I use home switcher for froyo. So for the time being ill just work with a lil' ADW here and a lil' launcherpro. Thanx anyway guys

Maybe it is a stupid question, but suddenly I lost the software buttons on the bottom of the home. Is there a way to restore them?
Thanks

what launcher are you using? ...
you need to use your launcher menu> First you may need to long press the phone , contacts and message apps to bring them to the desktop, than use edit to place them in the Dock ( will depend on launcher and settings will vary according to their menu)
If too confusing just download a different launcher from play store and use it
This is stock Touchwiz, right? Looks like it, so I'll assume so...
Go into Applications.
You should see the icons for Phone/Contacts/Applications along with your other apps.
Press the menu button, and click edit. Now you should be able to move the icons around.
Drag the phone/contacts/messages icon down to the dock. It should drop there, and then you'll have your shortcuts back.

It worked. Thank you. It was realy a stupid condition I was in.
Thanks again.
By the way, what is "stock Touchwiz"?
Touchwiz is the stock (or default launcher) that comes with the phone

The new Launcher update is a certified pain in the ass. Now you can't swipe down from any space on the homescreen to get to the Quick Settings menu. It goes to the new and totally unnecessary notification/Google/Search screen. Why the heck do I need that function when I already have it on my homescreen you Jackasses? This is a very large phone and now I have to reach (or use my other hand) all the way to the notification bar to get to Quick Settings. Worse still I can't roll back to the old version and can't disable this asinine feature. Dumb, dumb, dumb!
Hey calm down, you can change that behaviour on the launcher settings > home screen > swipe down gesture

Thanks for the info. I finally figured it out. Instead of giving us the option upfront the first thing that came up was the 5 star rating crap. To make matters worse the first trending search item was about the f*#king Kardashians!
Having them come up would p*ss me off too.

Just press for 1/2 seconds any empty part of the screen or just swipe up... then have the laucher settings options
Thanks.
Also, it seems that the search function from the apps screen now points to the new search window, which is again really annoying, as I am just interested in finding apps at that point. Any idea if this can be reverted somewhere?
