Does anybody have an idea on how to get rid of the blue user icon at the top right of the lockscreen?

you can not get rid of it you can only change the picture.
To do so: press on icon->settings-> press your name and then press on icon to change it

You can also sync it with Google+ if you tick the right options in the app's settings and select within your account details.

Today screen modification

I would like to know if it possible to sort the today screen plugins.
I know how to change the order the plugins show on the today screen.
But I can not change the date position.
I would like to put the date plugin a few spaces under but its greyed out.
Does anyone have a patch or reg hack for that?
Goto the following menu,
Start>Settings>Today, then click the "Items" tab at the bottom of the screen. Here you can highlight the plugin you want to move and move them up or change their options.

to add applications in change screen
then proceed as follows:
Press on "show name apps"
opens a dialog box and press ok
on each application that you open up the name of it, choose an application, go changescreen, press on "stop", press on "exception", press to top on "add"
and the string that appears check the program name you've seen before ...

Ahhh; sorry mate; didnt explain clear enough. Got a customized theme; and because of this the icons are according to the theme; but if I change the SMS icon with the Go SMS; then I loose the customized icons.....
But thanx for the tip though :=)
Ahh OK. So to keep the icons the same change the shortcut link different I suppose another option, rather than change the shortcut link, would be to change the icon/shortcut and then change its icon to the your theme.
I have no idea which is easier and how to do it unfortunately so just putting it out there in case it helps. I guess for both these things you may need to root your phone and get a more powerful file browser.

[Q] Help - cannot move app icons or create folders on Home Screen.

Help - cannot move app icons or create folders on Home Screen.
I have had my Tab S 10.5 for 2 weeks now and realised that I cannot seem to move icons on the home screen or create folders on the home screen. When I hold-drag an icon on the home screen it says 'Tap Edit to rearrange widgets, shortcuts, or create folders' but I cannot find where the menu is for Edit etc. When I hold-drag on an empty part of the home screen I get the home screen highlighted with Wallpapers and Widgests at the bottom.
I can create folders in the app list and move to the home screen but get the same message when I hold-drag an icon to move into the folder.
Please can someone help me with this?
Thanks.

Yes I will be returning it this week to the JB Hifi I purchased it from. I will make sure I test for this issue before installing any updates.
Issue Resolved!
I have just found out how to create folders for the Home Screen and rearrange app icons on the Home Screen.
I was searching videos on YouTube and came across video tutorials for the S5 which helped me, to create folders you go to the apps screen then hold down an icon and drag it to the top left where 'create folder' should be and let go, then a folder will appear which you can name and after you save it the folder appears on the Home Screen, before you save you can also press on a + symbolto add more apps to the new folder.
To rearrange icons I don't know how I missed this, press the Home button to make sure you are on the Home Screen, then down the bottom right corner next to the Apps icon there is a pencil icon for Edit Page from here you can move app icons around and into existing folders.
I contacted Samsung live chat twice about this issue and they did not know how to resolve it and I was about to take my Tabs S back for a replacement!
Thanks for the replies to my post it is appreciated.

Contact ringtone

Being used to Samsung.... Is it possible to set a ringtone per contact? I can't seem to find this option.
Yeah click your contact, hit the edit button (the little pencil). Then once in the edit screen, hit the 3 dots in the corner > Set Ringtone
Awesome, I was looking at the wrong 3 dot menu. thanks much!
