So the menu button used to be on S3 / Note 3 / etc other Samsung phones has been replaced with the recent apps button. Is there any way I can sort the apps in alphabetical order instead of the manual way now? I liked that feature in my Note 3, how do I go to settings page in an app without the button?

Pressing and holding the Recents button for 1 second mimics the Menu button.

That's odd. Double check your Accessibility settings to see if there's something in there causing that behavior.

i think it's default, i'm on t-mobile and any app i have open, long pressing recent apps button goes to split screen mode. I do however have a moveable floating menu widget that i can move around and also tap to show a menu screen for a few of my apps.

If that's the default, that's brutal. I really hope my Canadian S6 isn't going to be like that.
Worst case, I guess there are always ROMs or root-based mods.
In the upper right corner of the app drawer is the sort alphabetically button.

Because for a lot of people the option simply isn't there. I believe it was added in a software revision that went out some time after the review units were sent out, but that's just speculation.

Ah okay well then that makes perfect sense
The Canadian S6's are like that too, you can rearrange the apps how you want them but no alphabetical. Also, you need lightflow to control the LED, I'm coming from the oneplus one and I miss the control of the LED!
Uk S6 doesnt have option either, really irritating not being able to auto arrange. why on earth did they remove that?!
On my sprint s6 I can sorry by ABC from an icon in top right of the app drawer... I click it... And it sorts them...
OMG did they really get rid of this? It is not there on the Canadian model.
Also removed on german Vodafone model. :/
Also not on the Australian model on Telstra.

HA! So I move to the country yesterday and the first thing I do after getting over my jet lag is go pick one up. This phone is awesome! Truly the only thing bothering me not being able to sort my app drawer.
Funnily enough if you can be bothered you can still move all the app icons into alphabetical order.....

Everyday im finding out maybe samsung didnt do too bad on this phone.. i have a vibrant and swore to never get another samsung phone.. but im ordering this next week i hated the button layout cause in portrait hitting home at the top is kinda funky but with the holding back button feature im feeling okay about this phone. Thanks a ton

Ya that was my one thing I didn't like. But once I figured out the back button I don't have any problems with the phone at the moment. Samsung did a really nice job on this phone

Holding down Home will open the notification panel (good I guess if you are using apps in full screen?)
Make sure you set up your jump shortcuts! They are awesome to have
Something I missed at first: There is a small arrow on the right side of the universal composer in the notification panel (where you'd update your twitter/fb) -- if you click the arrw, you'll get toggles for wifi, bluetooth, gps, silent, and auto rotation.
JUMP + R!
My favorite feature! The JUMP + R combo! If you haven't tried it, check it out. I don't know what it will do for you, but it frustrated ME!

Jump + R opens up the Jump menu screen for me because "R" isn't a previously assigned shortcut.... ?
Did you try assigning JUMP + R to anything? ;-)

Thats what I am saying, I dont have anything assigned to it, so it doesn't do anything. You made it sound like it was going to do something hidden!
Since you don't get my humor, and obvioulsy haven't tried it yourself, I'll spell it out for you... there is NO JUMP + R. They forgot the 'R' in the jump menu list. I guess you can say it IS hidden.

LMAO, sorry. Too much vodka? Too little sleep? I'm just like "seriously it wont do anything until I actually assign it, geez!"
But you're right - how weird. I wonder if they did that intentionally?!
Hope I'm not ruining a joke or anything, but when I hit Jump + R, my phone reboots. And I definitely didn't set it up to do that.
More specifically, it vibrates, then does 2 quick vibrations after a moment, and then after a few more seconds reboots.
I have a similar problem but mines not with JUMP +R it just randomly does the vibrate and reboot thing.
Haven't set jump keys yet. But just found the toggle switches on the notification bar. Haven't found ay other "hidden" features yet.

Hi!
So i just bought my nexus 5 and its pretty awesome but i was wondering if i could change a couple of questions...
Do you know the menu which appears when you press the lock button(i think its called power menu), is there a way of changing what icons appear there?
Can the tiles also in quick settings panel be changed?
Finally, if you press the middle button you see the google logo to laung google search, can that be changed to show other apps?
Cheers and thanks!

Considering the phone is only a couple a days old, and that not real dev stuff has begun except root, I think PATIENCE is a good quality to have.

Yes there is. You can either have no drawer or a drawer icon. I'll let you discover how in settings.
Go to settings then display and turn on easy stand
Easy stand? Haven't seen that yet...
I think I didn't explain myself correctly, I want to get rid of the Text message that scrolls from time to time and keep the swipe...

I remember that it's some built in "help and tips " app but I don't remember what it's exactly called. In it you can disable all these annoying hints.

Hello, I have figured this out after searching and coming up empty. It was annoying me too.
Press and hold on the home screen like you're going to add a widget. Click 'home screen settings'. Click apps button and choose 'show apps button'
The swipe motion will still work to open the apps.
Take care

Use the Samsung members app. Log in and use the device management in there to clean ram and storage. It stopped for me after using that.
Just enable and apply the Apps Button, then disable and apply the Apps Button and it will go away.
use nova launcher,done,never appears.
Just got a new replacement device after a cracked screen and the "swipe up Or down on screen for all apps" won't go away on home screen. Never an issue on my old device. Does anyone have any new details on this besides a work around?
I will go away in a week or so. Mine was driving me nuts and it went away without me doing anything.
Just scroll up or down through the app/home screen 20-30 times in a row and it will go away. It was driving me nuts and I found this discussion. Saw it was going away after a certain amount of time so I scrolled through it a ton and it was gone. Lol.
Reboot
I went through the swiping up and swiping down and it still showed the message after. But then I shut down the phone and powered it on and it was gone. Just like another user mentioned.
As the title states, My edge apps column shrank down to one column instead of the usual 2. Is there any way to get this back to normal?

If I'm understanding you correctly, just open the edge panel them click on settings then at the bottom of the apps edge should be the edit button. You should be able to click on that to add your apps back.

No. not the individual apps like the music player, device maintenance etc. Theres a panel called "apps edge" and by default it shows 2 columns. For some strange reason it now shows only 1 no matter if i turn off then back on that specific panel or rearrange it or try to remove and add apps.
Ok. I thought you were talking about this...
Well I seem to have resolved the issue by messing around with it for a bit. I will just leave my reply here in case anyone else has this issue.
After rebooting phone I basically started removing apps off the edge panel. I removed about 2 of them and went to put one back on and the 2nd column appeared again. Don't know if this is considered even a fix but I figured I should let people know what I did in case it happens to them before they factory reset their phone.

I just updated my Pixel 3 from Google to July Android 10, stock rooted with Magisk, and noticed that the Google Pay card switcher (long press on power button) was active. I ended up shutting it off, because I wasn't planning on using Google Pay. Well, I changed my mind and set it up, but now I can't reenable having the card switcher. There is now no switch to reenable it in the Pay app.
Any thoughts?
In settings, type power in the search bar at the top. Then look for "show cards & passes". Turn it on and it should get you the card switcher back. If it's not there, I don't know what to tell you.
