How to enable this clock/calendar/weather screen? (Jellybean) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so I just upgraded to Jellybean and noticed this new feature inside the clock.

Mind you everything is stock on my phone.
So what's the point of this thing? I have no idea how to use it. Not under the save screen. Not under the widgets. No option to enable it either.
Just like some kind of a preview or something.
So how to use this thing?

If you put your s3 in docking station, this will be activated.

[Q] Vegan 5.1 and the phone app

Firstly, congrats to all the wooters that got there gTablets this week.
Now, my question - I've got everything up and running on my gtablet with Vegan 5.1, but the docked favorite buttons (that can be easily changed in Cyanogenmod) has a phone shortcut. Since I don't have the availability of a phone on my device, I'd like to remove the icon or switch it out for something else, but I can't seem to figure out how. Am I overlooking something obvious?
Long press the dock icon to modify it, long press the screen to bring up selection menu for icons, wallpapers, etc..

[Q] Froyo Lockscreen

Can anyone tell me how I can get the normal Android Froyo lockscreen on my Fascinate? The puzzle piece and glass thing are a joke. I have LockBot installed and Im using it but its not that great. It shows the regular lockscreen sometimes and turns it back off. Any package I can install? (P.S. I'm not rooted ATM because I can't figure it out. My Uncle is going to root it for me on the 4th) Anything I can install that gives me the option in the lockscreen settings?

[Q] Use camera shortcuts that aren't "shortcuts" ?

I've been a bit puzzled by the 'shortcuts' in the Note's (stock GB) camera app. You can only have four "shortcuts" showing and there's no way to change any of the other settings unless you change one of the shortcuts to the option you want to change, tap it, change it, then move your original shortcut back, assuming the four shortcuts you originally picked were because you wanted to change them frequently? Meh.
Am I missing something? Besides "use another camera app" ?
Bump, maybe someone knows now
I don't remember the details in GB but if it works like it does on ICS (samsung stock camera. I'm almost positive is the same) you can scroll down on the settings box and see all the different options.
By using the shortcuts you don't have to scroll all the way down for the functions that you use more often.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Damnit. Of all things, I didn't notice the Settings icon right in the 'shortcut bar', I was looking for something exposed by the menu button. Thanks!

[Q] Lockscreen Trouble - Simple Touch Unlocks

Hello,
I'm running the regular stock system (unrooted for the moment) and I'm having a small problem with my lockscreen (which is currently set to 'Productivity', but the issue persists across others. Any touch to the screen will unlock the phone and bring me to my homescreen, anywhere on the screen regardless of whether I hit an app or not. Furthermore, I can't open up the apps in the drawer with a drag as you are supposed to be able to do.
I got the phone a few days ago and everything worked fine until some point yesterday. I'm not sure if an app is interfereing with it and I've done the basic steps of rebooting, changing lock screens, adding a password etc. I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this problem before and if they have a way to fix it?
(Also, I'm running Apex Launcher Pro, but I tried just running Sense again and the problem persists)

[Q] New Android update removed lock screen camera shortcut?

I just realised a new Android update had removed the ability to access the camera via the lock screen's hold and tilt feature. Why would Google do such a thing? I thought Google were actually improving Android at one point and now they're removing stuff. Anyone know how to get it back or an app that will help return this feature?
