New S4, need some help!

[ZenkiS14]

Ok, just upgraded from my GS2 to GS4, and I'm really excited about it. Couple of things I don't like, and would like to change, can anyone help me a th the following?

1. It says "life companion" on my lock screen, don't want it, how to I remove it?

2. I dint have an easy access to a comma in my swipe keyboard like I did on my gs2, what the hell? I also don't like the button layout in swype keyboard on the secondary keys.

3. When I take a picture the picture pops up in the upper left corner of the camera screen, instead of the bottom left...any way to change that? I can't reach the picture icon to view it when using the phone with one hand....


Thanks guys!

1) Settings -> My Device -> Lock screen -> Lock Screen Widgets -> Clock or personal message.

2) Are you using Google Keyboard, Samsung Keyboard (has number row), or Swype? Try each one to see which you like or get another from the Play Store.

3) Gallery mini-icon location is by design. I use standard auto-review anyway.

Also
4. I used to be able to click on my clock on my home screen and view all of my clock options, alarms, stopwatch, etc...do I really have to have widgets for all of those things separately now?

Power plus home button. Hold them both simultaneously until the screen flickers.

If I remember correctly, the default is a weather widget. You'll have to choose an actual clock widget or download a third party weather app with a 'smarter' widget if you still want the weather but want clicking on the clock to work.
