[Q] apps without menu button? - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

most apps have that menu option on the top right (used to have menu button on samsung phone) but flipboard doesn't seem to have this?
as far as i can see i have no option in there on this phone to have a menu appear and choose to sync (download for offline). this is the only app that i have the issue in oddly.
is it just the app needing to be updated or am i missing something?

Menu button also can appear on bottom right side on the navbar. Not using flipboard so can't really say, if there is no 3 points might have something else. Or maybe flipboard need an update for the XZU.

Flipboard uses its own settings. Tap that red thingy on the side or something. It's a clumsy implementation, but it's there.

that red thing doesn't give any options really. takes you to a content list. story types etc.
plus it's there on my old note2. emailed them anyway

You should really start to search better. Took me 8 seconds to find the settings, which includes offline reading.

yea, i know that but there's a synchronise and compose option under settings too

Aaand I'm officially confused. What exactly are you trying to do? You want to set a menu button in the app which lets you sync articles for offline reading? Is this an option that lets you so this from an article? I don't use Flipboard on a daily basis, so I have no idea.
Sent from my Z Ultra, using XDA Premium 4

the option you found exists on both my phones. on the note 2 with a physical menu button i get the options i mentioned but unlike very other app on my phone i don't get that 3 dot menu on the top right in flipboard

Alright, as I said, I'm not that familiar with Flipboard, so I don't know. Hope you find out if it though. Cheers.

[Q] Change bottom 4 icons?

Is there any way to change the lower 4 icons, or at least set it back to default? I lost my Phone and Contacts icon, just Messaging and Applications are showing.
Not sure how this happened, it started somewhere between updating to WKE2 -> Rooting -> Adding the stock kernel back again -> Freezing some apps. I have unfrozen all apps nog, but the 2 icons have not come back to the static buttons at the bottom. I can however see them in Applications.
BTW, besides than this WKE2 seems to be running smooth for me, was a little worried after seeing some other threads.
in the app drawer you can hit the left soft key -> edit and just drag anything u like to the dock.
Hah, I *am* a TouchWiz noob. Thanks!
I must be doing something wrong as i cant get the bottom 4 apps to change. I can customise the othe pages but not the 4 apps on the home page. Any futher help for a noob.

Open up the App Drawer, hit 'Menu' (left softkey), drag what icon you want out and replace it with what you want.
Bare in mind you can only replace three of the four icons.
Many thanks for the pointers, got it sorted.

Photo and Video Editor

Hello. Got my VZW Galaxy Note 2 on launch day. Really really liking it a lot.
Of course I went through and did the usual "disabling" of apps.
After doing that, I have since realized that the Gallery doesn't have a Photo Editor, not does it have a Video Editor. I was told these needed to be downloaded.
I thought I remembered disabling the Samsung App Store, but for the life of me I can't find it on my device.
I guess I'm looking for the actual name of the app, because maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing?? Or if someone has a link to download the Galaxy Note 2 Photo and Video Editors, that would be great too.
Thanks a lot.

I think I found it. "S Suggest" looks like where the apps are.
And you're right. Usually at the bottom. That's what had me so tripped up. Haha.
Anyways, still can't find the Photo Editor, nor the Movie Editor apps for the Note 2.
Anybody have any ideas/suggestions?

I had the same problem and havnt been able to solve the video one but the photo one I did. Just install the photo editor apk as a sideload app or you can just hold the button on the spen and longpress the screen. It will take a screenshot and let you draw on it.

OK - so I like the "editor" that comes up when you take a screenshot with the S-pen (hold button and long press the screen). How can I use that editor when I am in the gallery and use the "Advanced edit" menu item?
I installed the apk linked to earlier, and now the advanced edit menu gives me a choice of the linked apk and the Paper Artist app. Is the one that happens with the screenshot function an integrated part of the screenshot application??

Its a feature (that mind you doesn't cross platforms) that allows you to simulate writing on the back of your pictures to remember what they were or where they were taken, etc.

So you actually need the photo editor to be able to draw on a pic to like add a wig to someone or a missing tooth etc.. you cant just draw on a pic without the editor?

My experience is this. If I go into the gallery and open up a picture, I can then hit the menu button and I'm greeted with many options. If I choose However, "Draw on Image" only flips over the picture and lets me draw on the back, not what I want to do. If I scroll down and click on "Advanced Edit", I get the option of choosing either "Photo Editor" , or "Paper Artist". If I choose "Photo Editor", I get the popup message that says, " Photo Editor is not installed on the device. Download Photo Editor?" If I choose "Download", nothing happens. I've tried numerous times and the phone does not link me to the play store or any other app store to download Photo Editor. While I know I am able to sideload the apk, most new customers using the phone for the first time are going to be awfully frustrated when they want to do the one thing Samsung is pushing in their Lebron and family commercial here in the U.S. Not good.

Phone search

Is there a way to search the phone for files/apps/settings? I'm most interested in the settings search - I find myself constantly scrambling around to find certain settings that are buried deep in the menu system. I want to be able to search by a keyword and be able to jump right to a given setting/app/file.

I notice a search option on the home screen when I click the settings /options softkey but it doesn't seem to do anything (I'm on bonestock rom).
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
If you press and hold the "menu" key, Search will open. Then you can hit menu and settings, and choose what to search in the phone. But "settings" is not an option, unfortunately.
A different approach. Maybe you can put some settings shortcuts on one of your screens, the ones you use often and don't want to look for them.
Another option, if you swipe down with 2 fingers, you'll see a lot of toggles for a lot of settings. If you touch one of them, it turns that setting on and off. But hold it, and it will take you to settings.

Likes/Dislikes Verizon Galaxy Note 3

I have literally had my phone for less than a few hours. But I thought it would be a great idea to share likes and dislikes.
Little bit of background, I am coming from a Note 2, so most of my likes/dislikes will be catered toward the upgrade from the Note 2.
Likes -
Mostly Everything LOL,
the screen resolution
the vibrant colors,
super fast,
the plethora of options,
blocking mode finally works,
no wifi nag notification,
wifi toggle works.
Dislikes -
The internet browser no longer sync with google,
can not use multiple lock screen widgets w/password or pattern lock,
4x4 grid on touchwiz (will be switching to nova).
I will update my list once I get to fully dive in. But so far 9.9999999999/10
I had mine for about an half hour. The best thing so far to me is the settings screen is 1 menu instead of 4 tabs . Sometimes its just the little things
Loving mostly everything, but again have only messed with it for a short time.
Only gripes so far is font sizes and in general DPI is just way too big and obnoxious. And lag when typing on the keyboard.
Let's go root!

You can change that in the messenger app settings. Enable message preview and it will scroll the message in the status bar like normal.
I'm so jealous right now. I would have mine now too, if I didn't change the shipping address to the correct one. So they can't ship it until tomorrow. So i am going to call to see if I can pick it up later this evening...

Agree with pretty much all of the likes so far, which is mostly everything about the device. My 4G speeds seem to have improved too.
Some nitpicks:
-new S-Pen feels much cheaply made than Note 2's
-Flipbook keeps getting activated when I hit the home button and accidentally brush by the screen
-Screen brightness range is WAY TOO SMALL (minimum brightness is too bright)
Several complains: desktop view does not stay on. I do not see the Note 2 developers options. I cannot remove the Verizon bookmarks as I was able to do before and restore from a save.
I think u have to tap on something in the menu 7 times to get dev options to show up. Saw it in a review somewhere

Temperature on lockscreen?

Been searching all over in the settings to be able to change the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit. Anybody know where to do this for the lockscreen?

You might want to take a second look. It's not a global setting, but controlled by the app. So open the app that the widget is linked to and look in the settings menu for that app.
In particular, if you are using the default accuweather app, that is indeed where the setting resides. You may also want to recreate the widget to speed up the change i.e. don't expect that the change will always be reflected instantaneously.
.
OK thanks, I figured it's tied to a certain weather app. Will keep looking. Here is a pic of my lockscreen,
Sent from my SM-G900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
That appears to be the Accuweather app. From memory.. tap or double tap on the time or temperature on the home screen to open the full page Accuweather.. then click on the menu icon there (3 dots) to get into the app's settings dialog. Then look for the C/F or metric /Imperial toggle.
.
Hmm, Not sure where that app is, I thought I had it frozen in TB. I've only got one weather app installed right now.

I froze it and restarted the phone. It did get rid of it so I know that's it, however when unfrozen there is no actual app anywhere to configure.
*Edit it doesn't come back now after unfreeze and rebooting. Oh well no big deal. The weather app I do have and use is Weather & Clock Widget.

Stand alone widgets are less common.. and will be configured from the widget itself instead of a main app then.

The reason his app settings are not showing when he taps the the temp..
Is probably because he has the

Here is what my lock and home screen looks like..
Here is a link to my 2 apks if you want to try them..put them in system/app ...just rename yours to .bak and you can switch back if doesn't work but should as that's all I changed..then restart phone and replace the original weather widget and make it 100 percent transparent.
Tap on the Temp on the home screen takes you to the settings.

Weather App - change from C to F

I am new and this may just be an old thread that has been resolved.
I went through the entire thread and didn't see a suitable reply.
On my newly acquired Galaxy 5S, I wanted to do the same; change from C to F.
First went through the Settings App and didn't see anything that would make the change.
Sometimes things are very simple. And this was something I probably over-thought.
What I did:
Unlocked the screen, and there's the "Weather App" loaded right on the main screen at the very top of the screen.
I tapped the "Weather App" box, which brought the "Weather App" full screen.
I then tapped the three vertical dots, flush right top on the screen. This brought up four options (black text on white background).
They are from top to bottom, 'Weather map', 'More', 'Settings' and 'Report wrong city name'.
Tap on "Settings":
Then, under "General", the first settings option is "Unit".
Tap "Unit", then tap the radio button "°F" to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit.
Unless you want to continue making additional changes, such as 'Refresh', 'Location' or 'Notifications...' you are done.
There is no "Save" button. The changes that have been made I believe take effect immediately.
All you have to do is back out and get back to the main screen by pressing the Home button to get back to business.
Hope that helps someone, someplace.
Best,
Robert
Hallelujah, I have figured it out. Press on the widget on the lock screen. Select change widget. Choose Accuweather (yes, it does not appear in your apps management list) A whole page opens up with the Accuweather forecast AND in the top right corner (at least on mine) (Note 4) you get the three dots indicating a menu. Press the dots and holy cow the settings for accuweather come up. And there you will see the temperature change option. Right at the top. Hope this helps.
