Hi, was wondering, I got the mega and I can't remove the buttons on top.. like Blue tooth, airplane mode, driving mode, Wifi hotspot etc, even though in the menu it SAYS I can, when i drag the buttons around there's no way to actually remove them just reorganize their order. I saw my friend who has JB 4.3 and he had a place he could drag the buttons to to remove them. Is this a bug in JB 4.2.2 or mega?

Settings > My Device > Display > Notification Panel

Alternatively, drag down the Notification Panel from your home screen. Click the top right icon (3 squares/arrows). Next click the top right icon that resembles a pencil.

And there you have it. You can re-arrange and remove icons as you wish. But you have to be at least 6 icons selected.

Try this out and tell me if you need me to show you a step by step pic.

Hi, I do as you say and click the pencil and come to the options, but I can ONLY re-arrange I can't "remove" the buttons I want to remove. My friend has a S4 and on his screen he has the exact as I have except that below the "re-arrange" buttons he have another part he can drag buttons to which he don't want to use. I don't have that part.

What the hell, that's weird. What Launcher are you using? Touchwiz or a replacement?
