I was able to do this in the Galaxy S4, but now it's gone. Since I did a restore of my previous phone's backup, all apps installed in a random order - and that's how my app list is now sorted.
How can I sort that alphabetically? I can live with manual sort (I've seen people speaking of the "A-Z" button in the app drawer, but I don't have it), automatic would be better.
With the recent purchase of my S6 edge I'm new to android and have some quick questions.
First, is there any way to sort the app drawer alphabetically? When I click on edit the only option I get is to disable or uninstall apps.
Secondly, I recently read a tip somewhere that said to reboot into safe mode and then restart to normal. This would improve battery life. Not sure if this is the cause but I did see an improvement after that. Anyway, I also noticed that apps in the app drawer are now scattered across 6 screens with some containing only 1 or 2 icons.
Sorting apps alphabetical. I have a S6 international and have no option to do that.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am interested in purchasing the Nexus 6 but need to know if I can arrange the apps in the app drawer alphabetically automatically and keep them sorted that way even when I install new apps.
This will be a deal breaker for me if it can't be done as I can do it on my Note 4.
my S6 Edge's phone app's Favorites, it does NOT have an order alphabetically option! For example, say i have 30 Favorites, and it self populated due to that Samsung app called.SmartSwitch or something like that, it transferred via bluetooth from my S5 to my S6 Edge most of the
settings, wallpaper, etc.Well, believe it or not, those 30 favorite contacts are NOT in alphabetical order! There is only an edit function called Re-Order, where YOU must re-order it yourself! So, it's a little like a puzzle, where you'd have to move almost all of your 30 favorite contacts in order to put them in alphabetical order!! that can't be true, right? (i.e. lacking a "put in alphabetical order" option).
I've been really happy with the S6 and was able to customize most things that were bothering me, except this .In the app drawer, is there a way to change the way the navigation between pages work and make it like it was on the S5.On the S5, you could go to a specific page in one click on the bottom "bar", and you could hold you finger on it and slide to scroll quickly through pages.On the S6, none of those work, clicking a specific page in that bottom bar just goes to the next (or previous) page.Now that Xposed works, is there something that can fix this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedOn my previous phones (S5 and S4) I was able to hide the stock apps ( Like the File Explorer) from the drawer without going into private mode. I cannot seem to do that on my S6. Is there something I'm missing? I only want to hide the apps, not disable or uninstall them.

I noticed that sometimes (actually, somewhat frequently) the animation to open the app drawer is a little choppy and laggy. And then the actual app drawer (swiping left and right) also has slightly choppy animation as it moves from each page of apps.
This goes away if you press home, and then return back to the app drawer.
I have s6 Edge. I cannot create folders in application menu. I know you are suppose to press 'EDIT' and then drag application to drop onto another one. For me selected application just goes back to its original location.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just got a S6 Edge. In the app drawer there are four folders (Google, Verizon, Samsung, Tools and Amazon) with apps in them. I would like to delete one of those folders and put the apps individually into the app drawer. It won't let me do this. I can move apps from the app drawer to the home pages but not the other way around. Is there a way to do this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Samsung Galaxy S5 (Android 4.4.4) on the SPRINT network.
Everything works OK. But in my contacts, they are sorted by first name instead of last name (which is more useful).
I can get to the settings menu for contacts (Contacts app, three-dots-menu, Settings), but I only have options for import/export and swipe to dial. NO SORT.
I have a Spring Samsung Galaxy S5 (Android 4.4.4). Everything works OK. But in my contacts, they are sorted by first name instead of last name (which is more useful).
I can get to the settings menu for contacts, but I have ZERO options for sorting. Just import/export and swipe to dial.
I was able to change the settings in the contacts app to sort all my contacts by last name. Unfortunately, this setting isn't applied to other apps.
Is it possible to change the sort order for other apps (google messenger, whatsapp, ...) too?
Having this problem with my Galaxy S6. Whenever I start a video on here, a song on Soundcloud, or a song in the music app, it'll start but pause a split second afterward. I can hit the play button as many times as I want but it'll only inch forward about 1/4 of a second at a time...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI got a Galaxy S6 Edge a couple of weeks ago. Everything was as it should be until a few days ago. The phone icon went missing and it's not listed with in the apps area/drawer. However, when I check under Application Manager, its shows three phone applications which seem to be dupes. They can't be uninstalled or disabled. I've done force close and restarted the phone but no luck. I'm using Nova Launcher. I just got the the phone set-up the way I wanted so the the thought of a factory reset makes me queasy.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI can't seem to sort my apps that I have downloaded to "Alphabetical order" in my S6. I just cannot find this feature. Now it has just the "Edit" function on the top right hand corner. On S5 & Note Edge It has a 3 dot icon on the top right hand corner & if you press that it will show all the functions like "Sort by."

I am getting notifications and have set up a wallpaper again, but all the icons have either diappeared or changed and nothing is as it should be. How in earth do I get it back? And how can I get back the missing icons (eg the apps icon has gone)?
View 9 Replies View RelatedNot sure if this has already been addressed (surely it must have been!), but am trying to sort unread notifications for Gmail app. I am currently trying Notifyer Unread Count from Play Store. The Notifyer seems to be doing the trick with a fairly simple set up. Am just using the free version which doesn't have any ads but the payable version allows even greater customization like the icon etc.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been having a blast exploring and customizing my 9700 over the past few days and last night installed a 16GB microsd and began the process of transferring some of my music to the device via the Blackberry Media Sync app on my pc. Transfer went just fine and all files show up on the card, however when I use the Media Player on the device and select by "Album" or "Artist" the tracks are listed alphabetically rather than by track number. It's not a huge deal except when I want to listen to a particular album in track order (The Wall is just made to played that way, isn't it? ). I have looked around for a menu option or something to list by track, but have had no luck. Does anyone here know how to do this? Also, if I connect to my pc via "Mass Storage Mode" and drill down to the album folder in question the track number shows up in the windows explorer folder and all my mp3 files are saved in a "Track Number" - "Songname".mp3 format.
