Quick help please re home screens - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, my phone has randomly decided to mix my home screens up so that now my main home screen is number 3 or so and the new main screen (house picture along bottom of screen) is a previously unused screen which is blank. So every time i turn my phone on i have to flick around to find my original home screen which is very slow and annoying. How do i re set the order of my screens so that my original one is the main (house picture) screen which appears whenever i use my phone? Thanks!

Solution
Found it! hope this helps others. Turns out it's not in settings. You just pinch the home screen. Then you can add, remove, change order and select default home screen. You do the latter by pressing the white house icon on the top of the screen which will then be highlighted in white all around its icon.

White bar at bottom of screen

Hey,
Anytime I open up my phone to text a white bar shows up at the bottom of the screen. It's been happening for like 2-3 weeks now, but can't figure out what it is. Basically anytime I slide up, the screen switches to landscape and it automatically has a white bar on the bottom. If I click the screen, everything is moved and the screen reacts like the bar isn't there(as in I have to click an inch below anything I want to actually hit)
Any ideas? Thanks guys!
Really? No one can help?
Can you post screenshots of your screen?
Is this a physical screen problem or a graphic problem?
V
How can I tell which is which?
The problem is pretty easy to explain, dunno how to do a screenshot... Basically it is my normal screen, just like always, except at the bottom there is a white bar, maybe 1/4 inch thick. What it does is move all my graphics up. So the start bar is not visible, and the send button(for txt messaging) would be right above the white part.
If I hit something I can see on the screen, it will act like I'm hitting where the graphic is supposed to be. For example, on the text messaging screen, if I hit the part that says "Inbox" (which is located at the very top of my screen because of the white bar), it will bring up the Start Menu as if I hit the start menu(which I did tap where the start button would be if the white bar wasn't there, but graphically the start bar is off the screen and I am tapping where the start button would be, but instead it is now the Inbox button that is there instead, but the behavior acts like there is no white bar there)

opera 9.7 border disappears

well when I use opera for a while it seems that the border just disappears (back favorites tabs home options) does anyone know why that is ? can it be running out of memory?
It just disappears so that you can see the whole screen and view it, if you want to get it back all you have to do is hit the little button at the bottom right.
It gets annoying at times, no idea if there is a way to keep the border and buttons up.
Just go to the settings menu, choose display and then uncheck "Automatic full screen"
right I knew that much but what I ment was the button disappears and I cant click anything. if I click physical back button it will go back a screen but the border still remains hiddenand three area where the refresh button is is black. any ideas?

[Q] Bizarre touch 'Dead Spot' on screen

I have a really, really strange dead spot issue with my G2. It does NOT seem to be a hardware issue. It started a few days ago.
The bottom area of the screen appears dead, but only when I use certain applications. For example, the bottom 'row' of the screen does not respond to touches when the dialog-box type buttons in the Email and Gmail accounts are on screen (the row of buttons with 'Delete', etc). The same is true with any other application that puts buttons on that bottom row like that.
But if I touch the screen in the same spot in home launcher, or if I hit the 'menu' button and the pop-up menu appears, that area of the screen works fine.
I also noticed I can't dismiss the pulldown status menu by tapping at the bottom of the screen.
I've tried using different roms (Cyanogen 7, 7.1RC1, MIUI, etc), and they all have the same problem.
Has anyone seen this?

Home screen

guys - i just got the pixel and confused if there is one home screen or 3 screens together that are known as the home screen
Supposedly according to google, I can swipe from bottom and get to the home screen but doing that it simply puts me on the screen I was at before (even if it was the 3rd rightmost screen). If I swipe from bottom, then it's same behavior
Can somebody explain?
Thx

Selections not sticking in Home screen settings.

Hello all
I just picked up a AT&T S5e last night and was setting it up as much as I could the same as my AT&T Note 9, and for the most part everything worked fine, but in the section for Display>Home screen, there were two options I was trying to get working that would not.
The first was the Home Screen grid layout which for every time I tap on it, it just takes me to the regular full-size home screen and not the screen one that shows it smaller and with the few options below to change the grid layout.
Oddly it does this for the next option down of the Apps grid screen, but not the Home screen grid.
Then the second issue is the selection slider for the Apps button to have that button shown on the Home screen and for that the selector actually slides to the right an goes blue, but when I close this setting page and open it back up, its back to the left again as in that it did not save that selection.
Needless to say the Apps button is not on my Home screen either.
Oddly both of these work correctly on my AT&T Note 9 phone and both when it had Android 9 and now with the 10 upgrade, but they won’t do this on my S5e.
Also btw, I did do the One UI Home upgrade and its now showing it as version 10.0.35.14, and that it’s the latest version.
So has any one else had these same problems?
Thanks
