Today I got an update for What's New which removed it's icon from the menu you get when swiping up from the home button.
Thank you for listening to your customers, Sony! :highfive:
Yeah man I just noticed this yesterday and posted the question why was it gone on another board. Thanks for confirming. I thought I did something myself. Lol

Mine has been removed as well after the update, hazaa!!!
Thankyou Sony
I just check it in my Z1C after read this thread, it is gone too!
It was a silly decision to put an icon there in the first place, blocking the formal gesture to call up "google now".
So now there is google now instead?

I got this phone last Friday and am loving it except for one thing. I can't wake up the phone by hard pressing the optical pad. Does anyone know of a way to make this possible?
i know that on the nexus one you had to root and mod for that to be possible.
hope this gets done cause i hate pressing the top power button to wake up.
Download a program called "no lock" from the market. It is designed to make it so you don't have to swipe to unlock but it also allows you to wake the phone with the track pad!
Thanks Scrooge276. I'll try it out.

Your welcome! I was excited to find that this worked (originally suggested to me by attn1) because I missed this feature and that little button on the top is a pain!
There's a thread in the app section for our phones. Same thread title. Hope it helps =)

Lockbot is awesome. I ended up buying the full version.
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
swipe left or right on the dock

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

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!!!!

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?
After unlocking my phone with my password, it goes immediately to my phone keypad. How do I change it to go immediately to my home screen instead? I've searched through my settings multiple times and in the user guide and have searched online and I can't find anything. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance!!
Are you using the stock launcher?

Sorry to sound dumb, but ... I have no clue. How can I find out?
When swiping the lockscreen do it in the center, if you swipe close to the left it will trigger the phone shortcut and it will launch the phone app
