    Any time I install a new app it makes a new panel and puts it on it even though I still have room on the original panel. It's not a huge deal. Drag over and delete the empty panel but it would still be nice to not have to deal with this. Anybody else experience this?

    Welcome to Android Central! I think Samsung's UI looks to see if there is an empty slot at the lower right of the homescreen, and if there isn't, will create a new homescreen. So even if you have plenty of empty spots higher up on the homescreen, the new shortcut won't be added there.

    Open Google Play and then Settings -> uncheck "Add icon to Home screen" box.
