[Q] First time ICS/Nexus user group of questions that have been asked before

I imagine many of these questions have been asked before but I didn't see a FAQ so I thought I'd compose a list of questions that I think others such as myself (inane) might ask upone their first use of the GN.
1. Can I move the google search at the top to another location or make it the size of a single app shortcut?
2. Can I move the apps shortcut at the bottom from the center to the right.
3. Is there a toggle button/shortcut/widget i can put on my desktop that easily allows you to switch from 4G to 3G (and 3G to 4G) without going through the settings? - preferrably right at the very top where the indicators are - I'd like to put an on off for wifi up there too.
4. Why does Voicemail take so long each time I open it - says Please wait- Verifying your account information this may take a minute - I have already configured my voice greeting and my personal name and a security code.
5. How do I get the configure menu in apps - I used to click on something that looked like the top half of a paper with a few lines on it - I want to customize some settings withing some apps but don't know how to get there. - Found that while asking this question - far right bottom of the screen - within an app a few dots like a : with an extra dot.
6. I want to change the way the screen lock works. I typically hold the phone in my right hand and want to unlock swipe it with my thumb. My thumb would much better swipe from bottom middle to top right corner of the screen - not directly across. Silly question I know but I don't want to have to use two hands to unlock my phone.
7. I heard there was a tweak for cranking up the volume - does that require rooting?

This is in reference to stock:
1. No
2. No
3, No
4. Dunno, I use Google Voice.

Thanks for the quick answer.
I don't see a shortcut for google voice - all I want to do is listen to my voicemails, know when I have them (e.g. number count on the icon). Is google voice something I need to install?

It's a static search bar at the top across home screens. You can definitely change this if you're rooted. But you can change this without rooting if you use a home screen replacement app such as Nova Launcher (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher).
2. Can I move the apps shortcut at the bottom from the center to the right.

Again, you can't do this in stock as adrynalyne said, but you can if you use something like Nova Launcher.
3. Is there a toggle button/shortcut/widget i can put on my desktop that easily allows you to switch from 4G to 3G (and 3G to 4G) without going through the settings? - preferrably right at the very top where the indicators are - I'd like to put an on off for wifi up there too.

There's no built in shortcut for toggling this option. If you have an app like Tasker (costs money), or some shortcut creator, you ought to be able to do this. You can always search for LTE or 4G toggle in Google Play (Android Market) if you just want this singular function.
4. Why does Voicemail take so long each time I open it - says Please wait- Verifying your account information this may take a minute - I have already configured my voice greeting and my personal name and a security code.

I'm not sure why this is happening, but if you use Google Voice, you should be able to see via notifications and/or widget whether you have a voicemail or not. It is a separate app installable from Google Play (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.googlevoice&hl=en).
5. How do I get the configure menu in apps - I used to click on something that looked like the top half of a paper with a few lines on it - I want to customize some settings withing some apps but don't know how to get there. - Found that while asking this question - far right bottom of the screen - within an app a few dots like a : with an extra dot.

The menu button has been switched in ICS to a conceptual options bar. Some apps still use the menu function as you described with : and an extra dot.
6. I want to change the way the screen lock works. I typically hold the phone in my right hand and want to unlock swipe it with my thumb. My thumb would much better swipe from bottom middle to top right corner of the screen - not directly across. Silly question I know but I don't want to have to use two hands to unlock my phone.

Not sure how to configure the lock screen to your liking, but WidgetLocker (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker) might help serve your needs.

Thanks -
I just noticed the indicator at the top - I was using the Smith Micro voicemail app, but I like it better than the default so when someone blurts out information like a different phone number I can playback just that part of the message.

[Q] Hide "Home" time on lock screen, or change it's time zone

Got a new G3, the F460 with Snapdragon 805, guess straight from Korea (bought on Swappa). Minor annoyance, the lock screen shows double clock - "Local" and "Home" time, where "home" is, I guess, Seoul Korea. How do I get rid of this "Home" time there or change its time zone to elsewhere? There is nothing on it in lock screen options, time zone settings in system settings also don't affect this, nothing in "Clock" application settings... Any ideas?

I was wondering this too.

Remove the widget by long pressing it on locked screen, then you can replace it with whatever you want.

Doesn't work with that particular widget.

Right, as the user just above me wrote, it does not work. You can press it as long as you want - eventually the lock screen will timeout and go dark, but you can't remove or edit this widget in any way. Any other ideas?

Nope... it is enabled, but still can't remove or change the clock settings in any way. So seemingly simple problem and yet so difficult to solve!

Ok, try this way:
- screen is locked but it's on
- touch and hold the widget and try to pull it down like notification bar
- widget should become bigger and editable
- touch and hold the widget (now you should be able to remove it)
See my video

Thank you for trying to help, Czechu! Dzięki! Unfortunately it still does not work. I can swipe the lock screen from the left edge, and _only_then_ I get a page and widget you show on your video. However, the screen that comes up first upon turning on is different, has two digital clocks that cannot be modified in any way, cannot be swiped down - nothing...

Heh, trudno.... I'm out of ideas then. Seems like the Korean variant is a bit different than euro. Hopefully someone will have a solution for that. Maybe try some 3rd party lockscreena for the time being?

Maybe it was not supposed to go out of Korea, so home would be in Seoul forever. Thank you again!

This works perfectly. You can safely uninstall the app thereafter. It won't undo the setting. Thanks!

Try to download an app called Dual Clock Remover. i had the same problem too. But after downloading this app it worked(^-^)v

Solution Here - Works Perfectly.

This guy demonstrate that how to disable roaming clock through settings which is hidden. In order to access those settings, you need to download a free app named "Quick Shortcut Maker" from playstore. I just follow his steps and i just feel happy. 100% working.

maybe it just me - bugs in lollipop?

Hi,
So finally I've upgraded my G3 cat.6 (F460K) to lollipop. I find a few things annoying and I guess it is applicable to all G3:
1. lock screen notification - is it just me or LG made it useless? what's the point of all notifications if you cannot enter them from the lock screen. Am I missing something? some notifications (such as calendar) I can tap and then slide below it to arrive directly to the event. other notification does not work so I don't see the point in such notifications. tell me if it happen to you to.
2. my bottom bar is white. in some applications (whatsapp, browser etc) every time I type something and keyboard pops up, the bottom bar turns black. after finishing the typing it goes back to white.
3. no Qmemo (screen capture) from the home bottom
4. the notification bar keeps changing colors but most of it is not the same color as the app. is there any rule?
Please share your thoughts. and tell me if the above happen to you too.
Thanks.

1. works with all. When you press notification it indicates that you have to unlock the screen. After unlock app will open.
2. settings-homescreen-navbar style. Which one you chosed?
3. not using so wouldnt know
4. its material design. Apps that are not built with material design will not have the same backgroud

1. Yeah, and having only 2 notifications there is frustrating. There's room for more...
2. Strange, never happened to me on both stock and hacker's keyboard.
3. Yep, no navring for 5.0! I really hope that it's fixable...
4. The rule should be "let application decide, if it doesn't care - then use color of action bar". Usually, actionbar sits on top of activity, and everything looks fine.

[Edge Feeds] Many battery and system feeds

Having a S6 Edge since its launch I decided to take advantage of the edge screen with all the existing notification packs I developed for my apps (3C Toolbox and co).
This allows displaying all kind of battery and system information on the edge screen optionally with a graph, including battery mA, mV, %, temperature, CPU temperature, load, frequency as well as memory and network loads.
1- Download the main app
To take advantage of those, you will need to install one of the following apps:
- 3C Toolbox to display any information
- System Tuner to display only system information
- Battery Monitor Widget to display battery information
https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=3c
2- Download individual packs
Then, you will have to download the individual pack (from app settings, notifications, notifications packs).
3- Activate individual packs
Simply go to Samsung edge screen feed configuration and enable the desired feed.
4 - Configure packs to your liking
Each pack can be configured to display a graph or not, graphic colors and its background are configurable as well.
Some system packs allows settings special alert too based on thresholds.
You can also choose whether to show the information in the notification area, with or without the icon in the status bar, or only in the edge screen.
You can find attached a few samples of how it will look like.
If you have special queries or any issues, please let me know here.

Awesome!!!

Looks very cool, just bought the 3c toolbox app, so many configurations(Which is great)
Whenever i check the "Only edge-screen feed" checkbox it's only applied for that 1 notification, i think it'd be better if it was applied to the same button under all notifications.

Thanks for your support much appreciated.
That's a little tricky as packs do not share their settings.
However, if you have received udpate 1.3.5 of the toolbox, you can simply go to the edge screen feeds configuration and add the feeds there. If the selected feeds are not in the toolbox config, those will be directly added as 'feed-only', which avoids having to select that particular option.

I see now that i wrote that poorly. I meant the checkbox that comes up after i check "Only edge-screeen feed".
The checkbox that explains "Don't forget to enable feed in Samsung edge screen configuration". When i check "Do not ask again", it only remember not to ask for this specific notification, whereas it would be better if it didn't explain when you check "Only edge-screen feed" for all packages. But it's no big deal just a very minor inconvenience, and would be avoided with the method you explained. great application, works very well!

@3c just bought the full version and works great on the S6 Edge International SM-G925F. ... what an app, does everything except make coffee.....nice !

Where's the link to get the app??

@azz72 , Read the first post.
@3c, awesome app man! Looks really feature-full. I was wondering though . . any chance to change the way we get the edge notifications? Can we triple tap the edge instead of swiping finger?

Thanks. Actually swiping will require a custom kernel/ROM feature for that. The API for feeds is very limited: update them is all I can do about it, everything else is controlled by the OS.

do u need the Pro version to try the edge feeds?
edit:

But the feed text needs to get down on the edge screen, it's way up now.

It's currently set at the top of the screen so that if you enable the historical graph it will on top of it. I'll have to customize the display to center the text when no graph is displayed. Will do so soon.

Hallo People. I have a Problem: "2- Download individual packs

From app settings: open the app, if using the default tabbed main screen, in the middle tab, tap 'notifications', then notification packs, it will open the download screen automatically. If using the advanced main screen, tap the settings button (bottom right) and then tap notifications, then notification packs.

You missed step #1, download one of the 3 apps mentiond in OP, then in any of those 3 apps settings you can download the packs.

All packs have been updated to position the text closer to the actual edge of the screen. You can update them from the download section, already installed packs will have a circle arrow you can tap to update them.

Screen off memo

Hi, every time I write a screen off memo it will not show on the AOD screen. Instead will go directly into a icon. If I tap twice the icon will appear for a brief time and then go back as icon.
The time it will stay on the screen will not be combined with the date/time.
Anyone has the same? Is it a problem of the settings or csc?
Tks

Yes, same here - direct to icon. I saw review videos where the screen off memo actually remains on the display along with the always-on screen. I tried every combination (i think) of always-on display and lockscreen notification settings, but never found a way to get it to stay.
On those same videos, by the way, the main settings screen looked very much like the one of the Note 5 and not at all like Grace UX, which is what i have. So i wonder if there are different software versions out there with some serious differences.

Maybe csc related ? mine is XSG.

If you go into the always on display settings and then about it should show you an update is available. After this is downloaded it is now working correctly.
Not sure why this did not ship on the phone or they make the update more obvious.
