Unable to put apps back in multibar - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i found my problem already described in a forum (can't remember wich one).
As i did some testing with the multi bar and deleted some icons from it, no lag experienced, but when i want to scoll through the page with "deleted" apps, i experience haevy lag.
Not that i realy bother, but when i want to put an app back in the multibar, it puts back the wrong one!! Olso i noticed that this only happens when im NOT on top of the page. As long as i did not scoll downwards i can put them back in the bar. It seems as if it picks the app that is on the spot when i did not scoll downward... any one else noticed this? Or can verifie this bug/issue??

Browser scrolling issues

I noticed that sometimes while I scroll through a webpage diagonally or in a circle-motion, the scrolling gets locked to only being able to go EITHER horizontally OR vertically. To get rid of this I simply have to remove my finger and then start scrolling again. Now, this only happens sometimes, and maybe it's related to the specific browser (I'm using stock), but I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this? I've only noticed it in the browser, but thats maybe because that's one of the few apps where you actually scroll both up,down, and sideways.
It's not really a major problem, more like a tiny thorn in the otherwise amazing paradise
Oh, and I'm using .14 because despite searching for an update it says I'm fully updated.
Thanks!

I made my bottom bar disappear :-( Can anyone help find it?

Just installed Froyo 2.2 yesterday and so far i like it aside from a couple things i miss but its sooo much faster!
Anyways somehow made my bottom bar disappear and now i have no idea how to get into my application page. I'm talking about the bottom part with the Phone icon, Application Icon, and Browser Icon. I think i might have held it to long while i was messing around and it went down and now its gone. Been trying to bring it back for awhile now and cant find out how.
p.s. I tried to post a screen shot of my phone but it wont let me due to being a new user.
Froyo has the ability to hide the app drawer bar and notification bar by swiping up or down on the home screen go to your home screen and swipe down like you are browsing a website should pop back up.

awesome! thank you so much for the quick response!
Is there anyway to add icons to that? I noticed that if i hide that then i can put icons on the bottom but is there a way to add icons directly to that "drawer" as u called it
Of course. Just go to the app drawer and select an app. Keep hold of the app like you would to put it on the home screen and drop it down on the bottom bar. I believe you can scroll through the bar as well. I know for sure you can on Launcher Pro because that's what I use primarily.

What you have discovered is the new scrollable dock bar in ADW. It freaked me out the first time I opened it. By default, it is accessed by swiping up on your screen. This action is very buggy and only works seldomly.
How to change it - go to ADW Settings > System Preferences > Swipe Down Actions > Open/Close Dockbar. Now from your homescreen you can swipe down any where below your notification bar and access this scrolling dockbar. You can drag and drop unlimited apps in it. When you want your normal dockbar back just swipe down again on your screen.
Hope this helps.

Wave Launcher is fully customizable. You can change the size, location and even thickness of the gesture-area. To change it, look for "Gesture-area presets" in the Settings screen.
The setting the works for most people and is my personal favorite is "Bottom Left - 20%". It will never interfere with the keyboard or scrolling this way.
Note that you can also have Wave Launcher automatically disable in Landscape mode which is often used for typing, games, etc.
The app is very powerful and highly customizable, please go through all the settings to make sure you make the most out of it.
Any reports guy's?

Used it and it interefered with a lot of things going on on the bottom of the phone such as opening the app drawer and typing. Just my experience others may vary.

As Mike said above.
I also tried it for a bit, and even changed the popup swipe location but it is just OK. I think bottom corner 20% was the one that worked best for me, but even then I would accidentally press the Home button. Sides are for screen sliding already, and top is for notifications, so there is not much free room to swipe around. Its a fine launcher, but I did not find it useful enough to keep.
I thought it would let me make a gesture to swipe it onto the screen, not follow my finger around everywhere, to where I cant even get rid of it without the awkward swipe back into the same corner of the screen.
What it should have is a setting on how far to follow you across the screen, so if I swipe up from bottom corner, it appears, then it follows me around but only until I get to say 50% of the screen height, then it goes away.
That way, if it appears accidentally, I dont have to swipe is back down, but simply continue the swipe up motion until it dissapears.
I tried it but didn't care for it. Holding the Home screen button essentially does the same thing. Aloso, If you're running stock then you've got your most recent apps in the notification drop down. Unless you are constantly switching between apps, it's pretty pointless.
I use mine for a quickdial and store a few contacts there. so far it hasn't interfered too much
Thanks for your feedback guys!

Icons.!

How to arrange icons on the OS, where i had installed apps the uninstalled them i have like 3-4 pages with like 5-6 icons to a page. With a different Launcher its auto sorts icons. Anything we can do to fix this i cant come across any other method than manually sorting them page after page.?!
Thanks, Xenon.

Do you mean on your home screens? Just long press on any icon, hold and drag into position.
Not sure if any launcher does auto-arranging on the home screen, does not seem to be possible with stock or ADW at least.
In the app drawer you're totally right. It irritated me to.
At the moment it seems the only way is to manually sort them [Menu>Edit]

[Q] Not sure where to ask this, why is xda no longer showing as a forum?

It used to be that XDA had pages of comments, but for a few weeks now I am viewing only one comment at a time with a scroll menu at the top.
Did I change a setting somehow? How can I go back to the original format?
Thanks
At the very bottom of the page on the left you should see a drop down menu. I'm not sure this is the issue you're seeing but you can try just changing the style back.
