Hi there,
Just got a new Galaxy Tab 3 10.1. There's a line of apps installed below the page/panel indicator on the home screens, with a bunch of (to me) ill chosen apps. But I can't drag them off the screen to delete them, like I can the ones above the page indicator. I can't find any mention of what this apparently separate panel is called to search better.
Of interest, are people happy with their purchase of one of these? So far I'm finding it pretty ordinary - not horrible, just ordinary...

Just drag the apps on the lower part of your home screen to the upper part where it says delete. then you can go to your apps and drag them to the lower part of your home screen to add them in the dock
If you're saying about the lock screen then I don't know
Hi!
I'm pretty happy with the tab 10.1! With the latest OTA update it runs even smoother! The runtime is great, can handle up to 5 days with daily usage without charging. I received my leather case today, a 360° case.. I can put it horizontal or vertical and it "wakes up" when i open the case.
With that prize its an absolutely recommendation.
Greetings

Hi there,
On the default home page, there's two large widgets on the top (weather and news). Below that there's a Google search bar. Below that there's a row of shortcuts. These all behave normally. Below that there's the page/panel indicator (telling you which home page you're on) and then at the bottom there's another row of shortcuts. It's that last, bottom row that I'm having trouble with. They don't seem to act normally - I can't drag them off to delete as normal. They appear to be hardwired. They are not the choice I would select and I want to change them.
Are other people able to delete these shortcuts?
Thanks!

Can you show us a picture?
maybe installing a launcher / shell will help you organize your tablet's home screen...
Same problem.

I have the same problem. I'm tired of reading the answer "click and hold then drag it up". It seems to be the stock answer on all forums. They won't move! No matter what I do, the ridiculous row of apps bottom most on the screen is stuck. There's no help for this in the help app/widget. Someone must know how to unlock these darn things. I want to replace them with ones I use regularly.

Qranparoger,
Unfortunately that is the correct answer of click and hold and move. I just did it to mine and I can move two of the three apps I have in the bottom row. The only one that cannot move is APPS. My SETTINGS and FIREFOX can both be moved to the main screen above the bottom row.
My tab is rooted, but uses stock rom. There is nothing special about what I have done. I checked settings to see if I had changed a display or security function but I do not see anything. I do remember when I first got the tab that I too was having problems. But I do remember solving it and removing the bottom row (except APPS) and rearranging the icons or deleting the icons.
It think that maybe it might be in the APPLICATION MANAGER in SETTINGS that you "Turn Off" the app and it might vanish from the bottom of the screen. Again, I cannot remember how I did it but it can be done.

Latest ROM update - still can't change the apps. My tab isn't rooted, and I couldn't be bothered to now. I don't necessarily want to "turn off" the apps, just not use my precious home screen space. Anyway, I solved the problem by buying a Nexus. Yep, free Samsung is just collecting dust, piece of rubbish... Before anyone rages on me, there's a bunch of reasons I didn't like the Samsung, not just this one thing.

Meh... it is all good. Since you got the tab for free, you can send it to me. Give me something to play around with. :laugh::laugh:
Coming from a HTC One, I was able to create additional home screens to the left and right of my default home screen. This is great because you don't have to keep swiping to get to apps. For example, if I had three home screens with the default in the middle, I can swipe left for one page of apps and right for another right off the default screen. Now with Marshmallow, if I have three screens, it seems the default is always the furthest left, and I would have to swipe twice to get to the third page. Extra swipes/layers aren't too efficient from a UI experience perspective. Anyone see a way to re-order/set defaults or will I need to make a feature request?
Added feature request, vote/star if you like it: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=191212

I think the reasoning for that is to keep Google Now one swipe to the right.

Might be the reason but I don't use Google Now so wish it was user preference.

So then why not use a launcher like Nova Launcher if you don't swipe to Google Now? It's stock-like with extra features.

Sorry if this has been addressed. Is there a way to remove the date displayed in the upper right corner of the home screen? Thanks for any replies.
It's supposed to be the weather widget, but it looks like you need an update from the play store for pixel launcher, and turn on weather cards. After that it will be a weather widget, that opens google weather when you click it. It's actually pretty good. Not sure if you can get rid of it. It can be date/time or weather.
How do you change the weather back to date and time?

I still can't get weather widget or time widget. Mine is stock on date only. Any suggestions?
Mine went away after doing an update to pixel launcher in the play store

Hi, I have a similar problem with my Pixel 128 (the smaller version). I'm stuck with the Day/Date in the upper right corner on the home screen. I have updated, and uninstalled and reinstalled Pixel Launcher, and restarted the phone. There seems to be no way to make that go away or modify it at all.
My launcher version is 7.1.1-3359438
Any ideas?

why not grab the apk and force update it.
Or/then go to google now (swipe right) and pull down to refresh.
Should change it.
I get date only also. Never seen the weather there, which would be nice.
Swipe to Google now (left) and then pull down to refresh. Then go back to main screen weather should be updated. I have to do this on mine. Hope they fix it.

Old thread - new information
For those who want just the date, weather can be removed by turning off the WeatherUpdate receiver. No weather info? No weather displayed . Root is required. I used SDMaid but others work just as well.
I'm wondering if this is simply how Google has the Pixel launcher weather app set up or if mine is not set up right? As you see in my two screen shots the Pixel launcher shows the sun but the actual Google weather app shows the moon.

It's supposed to. I too have experienced them being out of sync though. I think pulling to refresh the whole Google now screen should update it. Most widgets are not updated in real time but instead in timed intervals. Seems this widget must be the same. I wish they had settings for just the widget so we could set the interval.
Refreshing Google Now doesn't change the icon, the temperature updates but not the icon. Kind of stupid to see a yellow circle when it's pitch black out.

Completely agree with you. I've never seen the moon on mine, only the sun. It's dumb. You wouldn't think it would be that hard to switch the icon according to the time of day.

Had the same thoughts. Glad i wasnt the only one who thought it was annoying
Can anyone confirm if they get the moon at night in the Pixel launcher weather app??
Surely the icon in the wigit is simply indicative of current weather conditions. I already know when it's night time. Glad they didn't waste resources on such a trivial thing personally.

I disagree, I think it shows a lack of attention to detail and I'm pretty sure in the time it took you to respond to this thread the weather widget could have been mapped to the correct icon. Not really sure who's wasting time at this point but thanks for you insight :good:
Well that was an unnecessarily pointed response. This forum used to be a proper, technical forum when I first got into hacking XDAs. Now it seems to be about icons and fighting each others opinions. I'll stick to the technical areas and leave you kids to whine about icons in this section. I'll waste no more of your time with my opinion since opinions seem to be seen as a reason to be rude to each other these days.
Sorry about that. Why don't you write your own weather wigit and share it rather than whining about what you've got.
Jeez this place has changed.
Well, looks like its linked to the google app itself. I am getting the moon to show up in the widget for 2-3 days now following a google pp update via apkmirror. Maybe a server side setting also.
see here.
it appears they are correcting the situation...
This is good to see. I know some people don't care, but as someone else pointed out it showed a lack of attention to detail.
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
Mine was corrected by the Google update from the Play Store. Now the icons match, but the temperature shown is still a few degrees off from the full screen weather.
mine matches the icon and temperature
My wife's phone just started showing the moon now. Mine still shows the sun. So they seem to be slowly and silently rolling out a fix. She got no update but is on Verizon with Verizon version. I'm on Fi with Google Store version.

Same here. My wife's phone shows the moon but mine still shows the sun. We are both on Build Number NPF26J. I got my phone from Google where she got her phone from Bell Mobility.
Mine wasn't showing the moon either but as soon as I uninstalled the updates to pixel launcher and reinstalled them it shows the moon now. Mine is the Verizon version.
me too
Any way to disable the home screen weather widget? I use a 3rd party widget and it's superfluous and inaccurate because of the source it pulls from.

Can you tell us what time and date app/widget you're using?
Hi guys
Just wanna know one thing about navbar on Pixel XL.
Everywhere I saw the Pixel na Pixel XL has navbar Back Home Recent buttons full-filled and Home circle was with extra ring outside.
I have Pixel XL from December but I have every buttons like on screenshot, Home without extra ring outside.
Is this normal on Pixels on Oreo?
Not a big deal but I would be happy to know that.
Thanks in advance.

No that isn't normal for a pixel.
Well, I know what's wrong.
I changed language to US and navbar changed, also animation while home press appears, also Google Assistant started.
On my local language everything is turned off..
I can have US language, no problem but Google Now (swipe from left) displays news from US/UK places, not mineand I use it daily.
Anybody knows how to force (is it possible?) Google Now show news from my place with US language?
