Cannot switch from List View to Tabs - T-Mobile - LG G8 Questions & Answers

Hey, guys. Quick question. How the heck do I change the settings from List View to Tab View? Those 3 dots are not at the top. This T-Mobile variant seems to be different from the others.

Hello.
I just bought the Korean version coming from a G5 and there's also no 3 dots in settings allowing to enable tab View
I was sad to see it but I guess it was too different for most people even if it was part of LG UX DNA. I feel they wanted to make the phone look like an iPhone.

I think I've pretty much gotten used to List View by now.

Same here, I was afraid to be lost but they group settings like in tabs view and some menus are equal to older LG UX versions.

Two questions about LGG3

Hi, I am considering a Verizon or AT&T LGG3 when they become available.
I had two questions about the LGG3 functionality:
Does the LGG3 have the capability to select which on-screen navigation buttons appear at the bottom (Menu, Home, Back, Task Switcher), and the order of those buttons? The LGG2 had this feature.
With the Circle Cover on, what features are available through the circle if I always lock my phone (currently with a pattern lock)?
Thanks,
¿GJ?
check the user manual
Hi, The Sprint G3 Usre manual is available for download!
I guess you can get the answers from that manual, Just google "LG LS990 User manual". I should not post the link here.
From what I have seen in many reviews, youtube videos and so on...
1. It is exactly similar to G2. There are options for different layouts, though I don't think it allows users to change the order freely.
2. As seen on video reviews of quick circle case, apart from different clock widgets and weather data, there are plenty of options to show and/or use with it, you can answer or place a call, listen to music, health app, even camera and the gallery app. As you may guess, they are select stock LG apps that can be used in circle view. Believe 3rd party app support will come soon as LG has released the relevant SDK for developers already.

Yes it does. You can rearrange the 3 built in ones and add up to 2 of the following: Qmemo, notifications , qslide and dual windows
Thanks for the responses, everybody!

Hi, iLHaNroID - Do you know if all (or, any) of these would be available when the phone is password/pattern locked? I always have my phone protected by some method. If some of these features are disabled when the phone is locked, it would reduce the rationale for purchasing the circle case (for me).

I have preordered mine from my carrier (Three/Swe) and unfortunately it hasn't arrived yet (ETA w26/27) so unfortunately I can't answer this specific question. The quick circle case was one of the reasons underlying my decision. I hv waited to see what LG would bring onto the desk before jumping any of the htc, sony and samsung bandwagons. Other points that played role in that are qhd display, back buttons, customizable navigation buttons, clear and loud sound, wireless charging, removable battery etc (no need to count others imo). The only samsung made device attracting me is the Note series, but they are extremely big in hand and s-pen is not something I would want to use and take benefits in daily usage, it can be considerable with tablets though. So believe I won't regret my purchase, otherwise I can consider about trading it with Note 4 if I think it worths then.

App Drawer List Mode?

I just got my Note 4 and one of the biggest things that is bugging me (besides the delayed menu button) is not being able to have my installed apps display in an alphabetical list. Is there anything that can fix this?
I found an app calle 'App Drawer' but I am now unable to remove the default 3x4 grid icon on the bottom right which makes having 2 icons for different app drawers incredibly annoying!

Hey Dreyzzyn,
Did you ever find a solution for this problem? I just upgraded from the Galaxy S3 to Note 4 and very much miss my apps in "alphabetical list" mode. So much easier hitting the starting letter of the app you want and BAMN...a listing of apps with that letter pop up. But this Note 4 is confusingly not allowing me to do it.
Thanks in advance. Thought this phone was supposed to be so powerful...yet I find I'm missing my S3.

Get a launcher!
Note 4 stock does not allow listing of apps, to do this you must install a launcher. I use Apex but there are many out there. Just install it and pick set your apps to list view. As far as lag, to get rid of it just set Window, Transition and Animator scale to "off" under Developer options and you should be good to go. I've done that since the S3 days no problem and phone gets waay faster.

Yes it dose with the stock launcher. As texasez said "click on "apps", click three small squares on top, sort, alphabetical". The screen shots are with the stock touchwiz launcher.

I think you misread the original post as he's looking for an "alphabetical list'. This is not possible on the Note 4 as it was on Note 3 and Note 2. If you think it's available please post of screenshot of that instead of just showing that you can sort apps alphabetically which every version of android can do. Two, totally different things. I've posted what an "alphabetical list" looks like in Apex since you can't do it in touch wiz. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/31104043/screenshot.JPG

Ahh I see said the blind man. I wasn't aware of the difference from list view and order.
Yes get a third party launcher.. I use Nova.. but like the fozzir said theres Apex and many others that are great.

[Q] Note 4 aesthetic UI differences

How come I can not figure out how to get my quick settings to look like icons instead of list view. Anyone else know how to do this. I'll try to post a photo of one I've seen online.
Also, I guess AT&T has disabled the "mobile data" and "hotspot" quick toggle options, from the notification pull down.
I have friends and family with the verizon variant and they have some different quick toggles also not on AT&T UI. Such as "download booster"
Sure wish I had ROOT! It's the little things....
If anyone knows how to change any of this on the AT&T note 4 please help. Especially the quick settings portion of the menu. It's driving me insane. I want that icon view. And no I'm not talking about easy mode.
Hit the menu button inside your settings. Then hit view as and make your pick.
I'm also pretty underwhelmed with this update. While I love the speedup and smoothness of this I'm kinda disappointed that sammy(and att) left out a crap ton of 5+ goodies.
themeing options?
Underwhelmed is right. I thought lollipop was to bring icon / launcher themes. All I can find is "colorspace" profiles, or am I missing something?

List vs tab view. They still stay in list as far as the quick settings. It just separates all the others into other tabs. Still not icon view like photo I posted. Maybe its just the at&t version won't do it.

I really hate the camera api is not being utilized yet. I want manual camera bad!

Larger Contact Picture for Phone Calls?

Did a search and apparently this was an issue on LG G3 as well:
After updating to lollipop and the new LG UI - I hate how the contact picture is now a small circle when you place or receive calls. Anyone know of a way to get it back to the bigger contact picture like it was on the older LG UI?
For the G3, it looked to be a feature within G3 Tweaksbox, but I don't believe that has been updated for Xposed Lollipop (or whether it will work for G2).
Thanks in advance!

Just updated this morning to it. That was the first thing I noticed. There is many things I'm not liking about the update too. Color themes ugly, icons not Contact adjustable much, The Weather Animation is gone as well. Overall looking it seems to be a step back in the users basic functions.
EDIT: Hold the new Round Contact icon down. So you can Edit it. Then click the + add new. You can re-size it and make it square again with any image you like.

can it be changed?

I'm currently using an LG g6 and not happy with signal. Wanna try honor. But I see all reviews when pressing app drawer it can scroll only up and down. Can it be changed to scroll left and right like on lg or Samsung phones?

It can't be done standard?
I don't actually own the device yet, but from the couple reviews I saw it was either a app homescreen like iOS, or vertical drawer.
But Nova would be much better than stock anyway.
