App drawer order - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

I got an honor 8 today and updated it to nougat. I've enabled the app drawer but the apps are only mostly in alphabetical order. Is this a common issue or is there a setting I need to press to get it to put apps in the correct order?

What do you consider the 'correct' order? I've always seen the app drawer organized alphabetically.

I've got Astro first, then Amazon music followed by Aldi. I've seen screen shots of it in reviews where it's just as bad. Poweramp isn't next to Poweramp unlocker, there's 3 apps in-between.

I don't use the app draw within Android 7 but does it give e you the option the press and drag to you desired location? May me long winded..

I can't find an option to change the order.

Yup, I see something similar too in their supposed alphabetical ordering. I can't really see a pattern in what they are doing except for maybe looking at the length of the name of the app somehow. Maybe a first overall parse on the alphabet and a second local parse within a starting letter on length of app name. Just a big SWAG on my part though.

For those having thought of rearranging app draw here is an email reply to me from Honor
Thank you for Contacting Honor Customer Services.
The app drawer is arranged alphabetically...kind of. It arranges by age then letter. This does mean that all "F" apps will come after all "ABCDE" apps.
There is currently no way to reorganise the app drawer. I am very sorry.
I hope this does not affect you too badly, and that you have a great day!
Best Regards, Hank

[Q] backgrounds in the s note

how can i add backgrounds to the s note? when i go to idea note i can see there are backgrounds but i want to add a background of my own.
In the notebook overview, select menu and import (next to add new note). Import a image file or a PDF with your background and select what type of note you want it to be. At least if you select a image file, the image is background for every page you add in that note.

going to test this, thank you
thank you, worked great
Note however, that if you manually change the background in the app for the given note you will lose the background image and I'm not quite sure how to insert it again in a existing note.
Edit: I found that in the new SNote version you can add your own image as a background where you change background by just clicking on the symbol in the upper right corner. The previous way was the only way to do it in the previous version as far as I know though, and since you're asking I assume you still have that on your tablet.

Then you have the precious version, and in that one I don't think there's any way to add a background without adding it as a picture.
You can't update it manually as far as I know, it's just a part of the JellyBean update that you probably soon will get. You can of course search for those kind of updates manually in settings.

A black rectangle with what I suppose should look like a mountain inside. But it's strange if you have another version since this is a UK 8010 as well.

The only icon that looks like that on my snote is the "insert object" one, but that doesnt change the background like you described above... unless I misunderstood what you wrote
*edit
Just looked at your post history and it appears our snote build number is different, even though we are both on JB. Mine is running the official ota from the other week, I guess yours is not?

The button doesn't set the background, it's letting you select an image to have as background and of course whether it should be for every page or just the one page you have selected. Mine is opening the gallery or the Dropbox folder, if your doesn't I don't think it's working.
I have the official UK ota from a couple of weeks ago, however I don't think it's necessary the same between regions and especially not if your is 4.1.2 instead of the 4.1.1 I'm running. Other than that, I have no idea why your version aren't the same as mine. But considering how badly mine is working as you might have seen in my previous posts, you have nothing to be envious about

Found the icon , though its buried in the settings "other settings > change background > gallery (mountain icon)..."
Rechecked my version number, and we do have the same one. I was looking at the wrong snote!!!!! Lol
Other than palm zooming, which is p*ssing me off, so far so good for me....

Haha, I'm not sure where else to look for such a setting but It's a good thing you found it anyway!
Speaking of which, what is this small SNote file anyway? If that's the actual update that is causing so much troubles and removing it would be a solution, that can't be to hard even if it's requiring rooting the device?
I agree, that's really annoying and basically enough to make it useless for note taking in class where the tempo is fast. But other than that, the problems with the functions for recognizing different things you draw makes it not as out standing as it once were. It's a good thing there's LectureNotes and that the developer is so active to get things working a 100% and improving the application constantly. I can't wait to get the customizable drawing tools!
By the way, I called the samsung support in Sweden once again and the guy I speaked to today was sure that the only way to get the old SNote back was to do a factory reset after which he was very clear that doing any of the things I mentioned like rooting the device etc will destroy any warranty what so ever. But naah, I'll try again tomorrow, maybe even to the service center.
Anyone that has been more successful in their contact with Samsung? (sorry if this is considered OT)

But, IMHO, it must be a little bit wider

Device not compatible at&t s4..
Can you post the APK for those that don't use the Play Store?
Installed!
It shows up as #9 on the list when searching "hangouts widget"
Anyways, it's visually appealing and I like how the plus sign takes you directly to current messages or to create a new one directly as well.
I'll see if any new messages appear on the widget since you say it doesn't show old messages
when I install the widget I can't send any messages in Hangouts anymore. It will just try and retry to send forever. Need to uninstall widget and reboot the phone to get it working again.

Maybe... The thing is I can't actually interface with hangouts so I would have to fake the input needed to send the message...

This app is completely independent from hangouts and uses notifications to get the messages, so it shouldn't alter your ability to send messages at all... It is more than likely just coincidence that it is working now and not then.

Google music All Access "thumbs-up" playlist disappeared

Had anyone else experienced that the thumbs up playlist is completely gone? Mine has been gone for a few months now, and google claims they are working on a solution but I don't trust em. I am able to view the thumbs up playlist via the desktop web site, but not through the mobile app. I'm not sure if this is a N5 problem or a broader one

Its in the bottom left corner when you are in the (I guess you can call it) "Now Playing" screen. Thumbs up is on the bottom left and thumbs down is on the bottom right.

If we're talking about the same thing, mine disappeared right after my trial ended.
I have the same problem.
I have all access for only a day but the thumbs up auto playlist stopped showing up on my phone. Even though it worked before I can now only view it on desktop. I tried turning sync for google music on/off, I refreshed music from Google Play (from the settings) and even uninstalled the app and installed it again. Still no thumbs up playlist.
All of my playlists have disappeared and I have no idea why.

As someone mentioned, mine also disappeared after the trial ended. I think that it's supposed to be that way. That way people will pay for the service to get it back.
The thumbs up playlist was replaced by the "Highly rated" auto-playlist for me

you have to check the items you want to use, but you can select only a few items with the free app, you have to buy the unlocked to use all items

look in the clock-section (not in the widget-section)
I know the widgets are in the clock section, but they dont appear on the Watch if I put them on the watchface in the Watchface editor.

Maybe there are too many of them enabled in the WatchFace app itself. You're only allowed to enable three in the free version. Check all subsections in the WatchFace app and make sure only three in total are enabled.

calendar and status widgets are "under development", you can't choose options in those sections yet

Missing Stock Weather Widget

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know how to get back the stock weather widget? I see it under the apps but it does not show under the widget selection. I am not rooted , purely stock.
Edit : Can a Mod move this over to questions and answer please..
Are you sure you are searching it? It should be called Weather or whatever weather is called in you country in the widget section

It's in the Play Store actually. I just forgot the name.
It's probably missing from the firmware!

you might be 100% right because like I said before I have the actual app but don't have the widget for it. I really don't want to reflash a whole firmware just for the widget so I guess I'll use another weather widget.
Did you try an hard reset?
Sent from my FRD-L09 using XDA Labs
Do whatever please you
Got it back.. looks like after taking an update something happened, but I was able to disable the app a few times and it reappeared in the widget selections after restarting.
Thanks all for your assistance.
