I have been spending the last day going through my Galaxy Note 3 and turning off apps/features I don't want. Anyway, somehow last night after a restart, I changed the settings button. Before the change, I'd hit the Settings button and everything would be in one long scroll list. Now, if I hit the settings button, I have 4 tabs at the top (Connections, Device, Controls, General) with a lot more settings than I remember having. Any idea what I did? I love the new settings button so not looking to change back.
The last OS update was the night I got the phone - the 15th so I know it wasn't an OS update last night that caused that to change.
Also side question not related: is it normal to have 6.74GB of Miscellaneous files (6.73GB for System Memory)? I noticed the Samsung Gallery app was guzzling gigs of data trying to sync my 70k Picasa albums - I stopped it by the time it got to 4GB and turned off the app (prefer Google's gallery app) - maybe I need to clear that? Is that possible unrooted? I tried several apps people recommend but they don't see 6.7GB anywhere. The /Storage/emulated/0/DCIM/thumbnail folder only has the pictures I've taken.
This phone is the best phone I've ever had. I've had a Motorola Droid 1 --> HTC Thunderbolt --> iPhone 4s --> iPhone 5 --> Moto X --> Note 3. Very happy with this phone minus the 6.7GB of internal storage I can't free up and adware apps that are forced on me (want to stay away from rooting if I can).
Thanks for your time/help,
