TouchWiz automatically adding Apps to Homescreen after install?

[Funkpod]

Hey, Galaxy s3 here, less than 24 hours old.

So far, wow, it's amazing. Had my droid Incredible before, and this is amazing. Fast, responsive, etc.

HOWEVER, it is automatically adding apps to the homescreen after I am installing them!

SOOOOO annoying.

And I can't seem to find anything in the Settings menu that give me any way to fix this.

Help?

thank you!

It's in your Google Play settings... uncheck the Auto-add Widgets option.

Why they have that on my default, is beyond me. It catches me with my pants down every single time I swap phones.

Thanks for this info. I was starting to get pissed about it.

I know about it b/c I end up having to change it every time I flash one of my devices. Pretty much the first setting I change after I complete the initial config.

This isn't a Touchwiz thing, its Google Play Store update that came into affect around the same time as ICS launch..

Yeah, it's seriously annoying. Dunno why they gotta have it on by default
