I need some advise, i have a few questions about the phone which i have been trying to sort out without success.
1) Is there anyway to move the google search bar at the bottom of the home screen ? I cant get rid of it or move it at the moment
2) I cant get rid of the date and time at the top of the home screen. Usually you press and hold and drag up to delete
3) I tried to work around the top 2 questions by selecting a different home screen but i cant seem to do it. Is it possible ? I press and hold an empty part of the screen to select Home screen setting but that's as far as i get. Also tried pitch and anything else that came to mind. I can not delete a home screen either.
4) Icons don't fit and leave a white boarder around the edges.
I also tried a launcher which seemed to help the first three points but the icons still didn't fit
Will it still have badge counters next to the icons or missed calls on screen? What are the pros and cons of using a launcher?
Thanks in advance

I was never clear on this. If I am using the stock picture frame widgey, how do I resize it to make it bigger? I tried holding my finger etc. And the red grid to resize it wont show up. Sorry for such a noobish question. My apologies!
1) Hold your finger on the picture/widget on one of your homescreens until the background drops away and the remove option comes up
2) Without dragging the photo anywhere, remove your finger. The grid should now show up, You resize the picture by moving the little grey triangle around until it uses up the grid squares you want it to use. If you have other widgets on the page, you wont be able to go over the top of them. You won't be able to go further left or up than where you first put the widget either - to do that you'll have to hold-press and drag to another clear spot
3) If you find the background returning without the grid getting a chance to show up, tap the photo to reset the image from the gallery, and then try steps one and two again
Good luck
I am using the balancer launcher and it doesnt allow widgets to resize! No wonder I couldnt get it to work. thanks for answering my question!
I recently recieved my Xperia S back from Sony today as I had the yellow tint issue. That seems to be gone 'fingers crossed' but it seems like I now have a more annoying issue
The bottom right of my screen is less sensitive than the rest of the screen. For example when unlocking my phone I find it very hard to get the unlock icon from one side to the other. It gets to about where the camera Icon is and then it goes back to where I dragged it from. It take me about 5 attempts to get it unlocked.
Also when draging icons on the homescreen to the far right position on the homescreen dock and I can have some trouble picking up the icon or moving it there.
I've found a part of my screen that doesn't respond at all! On the app drawer the icon next to the sorting option (Manage Applications button) doesn't respond at all. I've tried clicking it over 20 times and nothing has happened. If I drag the status bar down over the icon it doesn't recognise that my finger is touching the screen and then the status bar falls the the bottom of the screen.
I've tried restoring my phone and trying a newer firmware but the problem is still there. Did they do something wrong when they put my phone back together? Is there anything I can do rather than sending it back to Sony?
Hey guys,
after I press home button and go to home screen, 3 of 5 times happens that usually first icon from the left looks like it's being touched by my finger. For better explanation, see attachment. When I touch somewhere else, blue rectangle disappears. This happens also in Messenger app, or Nova launcher. I really don't know where the problem is. Factory reset solution would be on the last place.
Thanks a lot, I hope I explained it well.
●●●●● I managed to get the settings icon back! I rearranged my icons a few times and put it next to one of my double clock icons and there it was! I did a factory reset. So far so good...... not sure what causes the problems below but I will leave this post unless a moderator wants to delete this thread for me ●●●●●
Hi all. Got a few problems with my Gear Fit... I want to do a factory reset but cannot! Honestly want to upgrade to a different smartwatch soon but for now I will have to work with this. I am disappointed in lack of apps that work with this but I LOVE the touch screen and features it does have...
1. No settings icon to factory reset my device. Thought there was a physical reset button on underside which I pressed in with a pin but nothing happens when I do. I held it down too... maybe not long enough? Does anyone know how long?
2. When I scroll in one direction its an infinite loop. Does not even show home screen with clock on it most of the time... instead there is an infinite loop as in the same 3 icons show over and over and over as I scroll....
3. Sometimes when scrolling, part of the clock shows on left half of the screen and its stuck there while the other half scrolls. Still no settings icon!
4. Also when I use the Gear Fit Manager on my S3, it shows 2 clock icons which I can drag and reorder but it only leaves a gap in the icons on the Gear Fit itself... looking at it horizontally should show 3 icons across but it will show 2 with a blank spot where 3rd icon would be.... sometimes I can see the clock but most times I cannot.
I wanted to contact samsung about these issues through email but I cannot seem to get there. I dont see any choice for smartwatches and model number so therefore I cant seem to figure how to send an email to the correct department.
Hope I can reset and start over before I end up getting mad and throwing it across the room!
I hope someone can help me. After letting someone use my phone I now see a floating G and dots bar in the middle of my screen. Apparently the bar lets me know which screen I'm currently on in terms of number of screens. How can I move or remove this?
You can get rid of the "G" in Settings (probably under Home Screen), but the more direct way is:
Press and hold a vacant area of some screen. That will shrink the screen and show a bunch of installable apps.
Again, press a vacant area of the screen, and you will see all "enabled" screens (up to eight).
Drag the offending screen (the top left most) to the trash can.
Press the home button.
I think there's a way to get rid of the dots, but I'm not sure. I like them, so I've never had to research the issue.
