IPhone :: Make A Contact Appear As Shortcut On Home Screen?
Apr 7, 2012
When I used a Droid phone, I was able to put my 9 most used contacts on one of the home screens as shortcuts. Im finding out that the iPhone 4 takes more time to get to my contacts even though there is a favorites section. I'd like to put that on the home screen instead of having to click phone>contacts>favorites>then scroll to find my favorites. I want to swipe to the contacts page and click one of my top 9 favorite contacts! Possible? If not, I plead with Apple to make this possible. It was the only thing I liked about my Droid!
In my old Xperia phone, I can create Direct Dial shortcut on Home Screen. In which the icon displayed for the shortcut is the photo in the Contact. However, after I changed to the new Z2, the photo can't be displayed as icon on the Home Screen.
I want to use Google's "Messenger" app for SMS instead of the default "Messages" app. I know how to change the default SMS app. But when I swipe on the lock screen, it still opens the default "Messages" app. How do I change the app linked to from the lock screen? HTC One M7
Is there a way to create a home screen shortcut for the "Close All" I'm not here to debate RAM management and how android handles it, I'm well aware of that, I just want to know if there is a way to create a shortcut for it. I'm also not interested in third party apps.
I visit a web page daily and I would like a direct shortcut to it from my home screen. Unfortunately the actual URL changes every day, and the website takes care of the details by changing the URL from a generic one to a specific URL based on the current date. All I have to do is navigate to the generic URL (by clicking on the website's menu), and the correct URL is formulated.
I would like to add this generic URL to my home screen. However, when the page loads it's already too late to save a shortcut to home screen, because the URL has changed. And I cannot find a way to edit the URL before the shortcut is created, or later.
how i can add a shortcut to the "apps" folder to the homescreen of my 5800. i've no problem editing the 4 home screen shortcuts to link to either an application or a www link. but, how can i create a shortcut on the home screen, so that wen i tap it (on the home screen),it wud open the "apps" folder.
Today I turn my GPS constantly back on but on battery saving mode. Have it when I use Google Maps and 17 high accuracy. Any way to add a shortcut to the home screen to quickly toggle this GPS location based settings so I don't have to go into the main menu settings and talk to it that way?
How do I remove a shortcut from the Home Screen of a Nokia 700? I'm a bit clumpsy with the touch screen and I keep adding shortcuts for everyrhing. It's easy enough (too easy) to add them, but how can I remove/delete them? There doesn't seem to be any option to deleting them and it's not mentioned in the manual.
I have a nokia 5530 xpress music mobile - (Christmas present) and was wondering when any new firmware is going to be released; The native browser just closes on its own (sometimes active sometimes inactive) The phone is a little slow loading up and menus (know this may be down to apps etc and memory card) The shortcut icons disappear sometimes from the homescreen (causing a reset to rectify) and when I change them the shortcut on the far right changes itself back to facebook The phone sometimes gets stuck on a white screen at startup which can only be solved by removing the memory card and starting up then reinserting There are a few more minor things but they don't really matter but I have noticed the touchscreen can be quite unresponsive needing quite firm touches or repetitive touches (yes I know some things require double touch) I was also wondering why my phone keeps disconnecting from the wifi source (I have a standard home router) - I know some routes 'refresh' themselves however I don't have problems with my computers or laptops (yes I know its different hardware) Done get me wrong its a good phone, with great features and I am not complaining however I just expected less obvious faults not ones that can cause disruption in normal day-to-day use URL...
I've noticed that my most important apps are starting to be updated on the App Store with high-resolution icons, and those apps happen to be on my first page of apps. Facebook and Wikipanion are now hi-res, so now I'm waiting for Scrabble, DirecTV, Guitar Toolkit and Tab Toolkit to be updated, after which I'll have an all hi-res first page. Which updates are you waiting for to make your first page of apps look perfect?
How can I make my home screen blank, that is, it should only show the wallpaper and no widgets?
Reason being, I found a cool live wallpaper "analogy clock live wallpaper" which serves purpose of a analog clock. And obviously I do not want any widget to cover this LWP.
I would like to put an Emergency Contact on the home page of my phone. have the phone password protected, so when I hit the power button I see what time my alarm is set, and how many new emails have arrived. Is the a way to create a notification that would always exist on the home page that I can add the text?
I searched the forum and found this problem mentioned a few times in the past, but the solutions are all for older OS, that is not applicable to the current 6.0 OS. There does not seem to be a "Dial From Home Screen" option to check any more.
Used to be, typing the beginning of a name from the Home screen brought up matches in the Contacts list so you could easily call them.Now when I type a name, other apps (mail,texts, etc) will display matches, but nothing from contacts. Indeed, dialing from the Home screen doesn't work at all -- I can't even type in a number.
T-Mobile forced an updated to my Samsung 5 Android last evening. Now the Contact shortcuts created by the Widgets have disappeared from my home screen. I created them again they sat there for a few hours and then disappeared, now I'm creating them for the third time.
Is there a way to keep the contact icons on the home page from flipping. I would really like to to have either the photo or the name show without the animation.
When I got my E5 I could start typing a name of a contact and the search worked nicely. But now nothing happens as I type - it just shows the text/numbers that I have entered. I'd like to get this back as it's a really nice feature. Is there something I should be turning on/off to get this to work?
I have a Bold 9700 running 5.0.0.545 with bell mobility. When I upgraded to this version I am no longer able to type in a contact name from the home screen to dial them. I now have to go into the address book, then type their name. I can only enter numbers directly from the home screen. Is anyone else having this issue?
I just got my phone. I realised that I do not have a shortcut for my files and the only way I can access it is through 'S Finder'. It is not on 'Apps' and how to create an icon for it on my 'Apps' or 'home screen'.
Is it possible to make a shortcut to a favourite music file or picture or a folder with pics or musicfiles on the homescreens, with symbian belle on n8 ?
