Good tip! I have removed it~
dco it took a couple minutes for me to figure it out too. you have to hold it so it vibrates like you were going to rearrange them. then you can let go. only the verizon button should be lit up. then you put your finger on it and drag it up under the part where it says press and hold icons to rearrange. it should move there instead and then press back

The key is to bring the app right up to the top left because that is where the app is going. if you don't bring it to that perfect spot were it's going to be it won't take. this help me out a lot thanks but I think this should clear up anyone's confusion. Thanks OP as well, great find all around. man I miss root.
This method also works for other HTC Sense apps that have a similar scrolling
You can do this in Message and Voicemail (even though there is nothing to remove I wanted to remove voice mail), People (Removed online directories), Mail (removed nearly everything), Music (added Genres), News, Quick Lookup, Gallery(remove Flicker), Friend Stream, and when you click on your clock
wont work for Mobile IM

Just wondering for those of you who have the device already, have you guys found some neat features/tricks using 4.0 that haven't been documented or heavily advertised?
I would love to make a list of these features for other users to explore...
Lets get this started
List:
Reserved........
I know it's documented,but it was still a surprise to me - you can now finally delete apps straight from the app drawer, by dragging them just as if you were going to place them on the desktop,but then putting them in the recycle bin on the top.
No affiliation with apple. Or siri.
Sent from my samsung gt i9250 which is in the wrong country.
Nobody's talking about the search app. It's way better than the one in Gingerbread. Much easier to find stuff in your phone : music, app, sms, docs, etc. The old one was returning web search suggestion in 90% of the result... useless.
Search in browser let's you edit suggestion if you want to add something to it. But we lost popular web site suggestion
Just read it on Pocketnow but you can make folders in the favourites bar. Apologies if obvious.
When in the stock browser and you change orientation, tap the screen to make it rotate.

which runs TouchWiz, so it's not stock Android
Rotate the phone to the right whilst in any stock app (so the speaker grill and front camera are on the right). Notice that the back, home and task switch buttons have moved to the top of the screen so that they stay on the right.
When using an ics app hold down on an icon in the action bar to get a description of what it does

Not heavily advertised, but it should be:
The quick control in the browser. Almost the same as on honeycomb. Activate it in the labs settings of the browser. Love it!

NICE find! Thanks!
This is known about, however you said undocumented and I haven't a single document for the Nexus/ICS apart from on one which came with the phone,telling me how to fix the battery.
Hold the volume down and power key, and you take a screen capture. Which is very handy on occasions
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
If you tap the volume button which makes the volume bar appear, you can then press the icon to the left of the volume bar and it toggles between ring and vibrate.

In settings/about phone. Tap repeatedly on the android version number (4.0...) then a little android appears. Keep ur finger on it and it grows into a screen animation.
If u didn't know about this,I guess u r now thinking this is a joke. Or is it?
Need someone to test; try swiping the web pages up/down using 2 fingers
, is it a feature or a glitch?

I thought it scrolled page by page. try by flicking with 2 fingers.
I just accidentally found another way to close the notifications menu.
Sorry if this is already known.
Usually to close the notification pull down, I flick it up or drag it up, but a few minutes ago I noticed that if I perform the same pull down motion again, notification will close.
That's all I got; so if even one person learned something new, then I'm happy.
Thanks, veritasaequita

I tried and got nothing. Pretty sure you were just swiping down and accidentally hitting the back button.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
It's probably because he hit the status bar at the top. When the notification menu is pulled down you can tap the status bar and it will collapse back to normal.
It's working for me good find...

Its because you touch the bottom bar of the pulldown window. all it needs is a tap.

Yep. If you tap bottom of pull down or status bar it will go back up. Has nothing to do with swiping.
If you use a alternative instead of touchwiz u can have custom methods to open then notification bar also. But everyone knows this one i believe

Yeah when I was using Launcher pro plus, I set the home button to open/close notifications (and to go to home screen when not on the home screen). Actually like it that way but I also like Touchwiz, wish I could get the same options with Touchwiz.
thats freaken awesome dude thanks! I have a problem trying to get it back up sometimes without clear button. so thanks for the find!

well your half correct...yes u can tap the bottom (which just makes it roll back open) "OR" you can swipe downward from the very top and it will instantly close. also it doesn't matter how far you swipe, its going to close regardless.

You don't gave to Swype down. Once you have the notification open a simple tap on the status bar will do the trick.

You can also use the back button to close the notification bar.
Hi
I have a weird "lip" that appears on my Note 2's screen sometimes that slides out and shows you more apps you can open.
I'm not sure how this appears - it appears to happen at random. And I have absolutely no idea how to get rid of it unless I restart the phone.
I'm not sure if it is an app that I installed on the phone or it's something that Samsung preloaded on it.
I have attached a screenshot where this "lip" is appearing over the keyboard. It's very irritating as it protrudes over everything you are doing, as shown!
Any help on how to permanently disable this?
Thanks!
That's the multitasking bar and you don't want to permanently disable it in my opinion because it is so damn useful.
You invoke it and dispel it in the same way - long press the back button.

Dave

I know the question has been answered but you may not know that if you bring that "lip" up and you hold a app icon you can drag it out and multitask by running two windows. Just a quick fyi.

Ah, I see! Only seems to work with certain apps at the moment though. I can see its usefulness a little now.
What is the point of clicking Edit on the multitasking list and sticking icons inside the "Drag and drop here" section?
I searched but didn't see anything on this.
There is a blue pull tab thing on the left hand side of my screen. I want it gone, but can't find out how to get rid of it.
Thanks!
There's a ton of threads already on this. ..

It allows you to access the multi-window feature of the NII, for accessing 2 apps at the same time.
To be fair its not a particularly well advertised feature and with little to no instruction a lot of people won't know what it is for.
But it is for split screen mode.
You can drag apps to the top of bottom part of the screen from that bar to run two apps side by side.
It's kind of annoying actually that everytime I am typing a message, a part of my palm touches the menu button and the menu window pops up and while typing fast it gets in the way and I push all sorts of stuff. Sometimes the back button also does the same thing too. For the longest time I couldnt figure out what kept popping up. I have on numerous occasions been in the middle of an important long text or email and the whole message was accidentally deleted. Has anyone else experienced this annoying issue? Any fix?
Oh and is there any way to remove the little white dots that are on your home screen....you know the ones that tell you which one of your home screens you are in? They take up a lot of space and you can fit 4 more apps in its place.
Fix the button presses with a case.
Fix the homescreen indicators by getting a new launcher.

How do I get a new launcher. Right now Im running Denomination 4.1.1.Can I add a new launcher to that or do I need a new Rom? I still like how it slides to a new screen going left and right, just want to get rid of the white dots.
Yep. Just get one from the play store. I'm partial to Nova.

Wow, yea Nova is cool. Any idea why my weather widget is missing when I use the Nova launcher?
Not sure what weather widget that is because I haven't used TouchWiz in months. I personally use WeatherBug.
Nova is great. So many options. Free, too.
Ill give that one a try. The one that comes stock with the big clock numbers.....idk whatever. Thanks a lot for the help.

Apex launcher is worth trying.
|When Emotion Goes Up, Logic Goes Down|
Apex and Nova are about the same, but I like Apex better because of the infinite app drawer scrolling.
I can't figure out how you're holding your phone to be able to touch those buttons while typing - do you have either very large or very small hands ? If there's no software solution (I would wonder how that would implement since you need to be able to use the "back" key at any time while typing if you need to get rid of the keyboard when you're done - and there's no way for it to know if you're "done" unless perhaps there was a special on-screen key, but that seems like it would have to be built into the keyboard software itself), a case or using portrait view when typing might be a good idea.
Lol, I have normal sized hands. Its more the menu button then anything else. While texting, I hold the phone in the landscape position with both hands with my index fingers curled around the top corners. Sometimes the skin on my palm right below the index finger creeps over and barely touches the menu button. Its really annoying actually after typing a long message and losing the whole thing.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
The same thing happened to me. Having a case on the phone acts as a buffer, you can't accidentally hit the buttons anymore. People still carry $600 phones around without a case?
No, I have a case, but its the one that slides into another case with the clip, I forgot what its called. Got it from tmobile when I bought this phone. I guess a different case woukd solve the problem, but I like my case, too bad.

Damn, I still cant get Apex or Nova to use my stock weather widget. Everything else is there except my cool weather widget.
