Motorola Atrix 4G :: How To Add Contents To A Homepage Folder
Feb 3, 2012
I have a Motorola Atrix and have some files (pdf's, doc's, etc) that I would like to be able to access straight from my homescreen. Right now they are in a folder under files saved to my device. I tried to create a new folder on the homepage and add them to it, but once the new folder was created I could find no way to add contents to it. how to add contents to a folder on the homescreen?
Random icons create an additional homepage on your Atrix HD? I tend to keep my phone's home pages as minimalistic as possible, only have one, and use Circle launcher on that one page to access my most used apps. Occasionally my phone adds a shortcut to a random app on a second homepage, sometimes its an Icon for an app that no longer is installed on the device. I really like the ability on the Moto devices to customize the # of start screens, the swipe up features of the locked icons at the bottom of the screen for a quick glance is a really nice touch, works great.
I recently bought a Atrix-2 in Bangalore. I am unable to access the SIM Card contacts. It says that there are no contacts, while am able to access the contacts in the SIM card from a Nokia phone.
I'm a little underwhelmed with the Gmail application on the Atrix. After coming from an Iphone one of the glaring deficiencies with this mail app is that I cannot resize html email content. I don't see any other options for mail on this phone, am I stuck with this app for mail? Is it part of the MotoBlur suite? I like the MotoBlur messaging tools or not. I want to like it because it seems like a great idea but it also seems a bit too cumbursome and non-intuitive. I'll try it a bit longer to see if it grows on me or not.
I just got a S6 Edge. In the app drawer there are four folders (Google, Verizon, Samsung, Tools and Amazon) with apps in them. I would like to delete one of those folders and put the apps individually into the app drawer. It won't let me do this. I can move apps from the app drawer to the home pages but not the other way around. Is there a way to do this?
When I use QuickOffice I can't locate my saved documents.I see them in file manager only...When I look at the file info from File Manager,it shows the location /mnt/sdcard...Are some programs locked out to some folders?
Today may be the first time I attempted to transfer photos from my Atrix to the PC. I am running Windows 7 Pro-64bit. After connection via cable, I select USB Mass Storage for the USB connection. Windows throws up a box that asks "Do you want to scan and fix Removable Disk?" I select "continue without scanning. In Windows Explorer there appear to be far fewer folders on the card than when viewing in Astro, but I did not do an exhaustive check. Of immediate concern is that the Camera folder is not visible under DCIM, thus I can't retrieve my photos over the cable. Should I back up the card directly to the PC via microSD adapter then let Windows scan and fix next time over cable?
I'm looking for the system's folder which stores the basic wallpapers which come with the phone? I'd like to add some files so that I can easily keep alternate wallpapers handy without keeping them mixed with my camera roll ?
I am trying to transfer my music, ringtones to my new atrix 4g and from what I have gathered from various postings I need to make separate folders for everything...such as notifications, ringtones, and texting tones. Seems kind of silly to me since some of these files have dual functionality and I do not want to have the same file in multiple folders to serve different purposes.
If there is a list of suggested folder locations/names for the atrix either on an sd card or the onboard memory I cant seem to find it anywhere. To sum up my request I would hopefully like a single folder where I can have all my tones for ringtones, notifications tones, and alarm clock tones including being able to attach specific ringtones to contacts in my address book.
Is there a way on the Xoom with ICS to create folder on the homescreens (like on my Atrix or an iPad) to organize icons or do we still need to use 3rd party apps for that kind or function?
I cann't find a way to move the widgets on the homepage.Also, I am unable to download the help center app from motorola.com/xoomhelp page via my tablet. Has anyone done this successfully? When the page comes up on my tablet, there is no live link for the download, just instructions on how to do it.
Every time I create and rename a new folder, it comes back to the default name "Folder", after a system reboot.Any suggestions to fix this issue ? I think it is related to MotoBlur, since I did not find anything related on other phones that don't use MotoBlur.
have any of you had a problem trying to watch movies using the HBO Go app within the mobile view? I get this message to unplug the HDMI cable and try to view again. Also, for some reason when I try and watch episodes of Star Wars The Clone Wars, from the official website, I doesn't show anything using the firefox browser or using the apps browser in mobile view. (But, I can play the video, with no problem, when the phone isn't docked.) Go figure.
Can't see contents of some folders when connected to windows 8 pc, ie if I open my comics folder I can see all of my CBR files right away. If I open my movies folder its blank, no avi files. The kicker is if I copy and past the .avi files on the phone then past them to another folder, ie the books folder, it shoes the .avi files when I look for them while connected tovm PC.
id like to buy one of those over 3000mah batteries for my atrix 2 , but where i live i can only find this batteries for the atrix 4g and im not sure if it works on the atrix 2.
I can delete individual emails from my inbox. However, when I go to Trash folder there is no method to delete the Trash contents. Searching the manual gives zero information. Searching online has not been much more productive. The methods I've seen in independent forums don't work for me.
My Motorola Atrix or Computer has a Problem install the ADB Interface so there for my phone wont connect to my Computer.I have a windows 7 32-bit operating system.I have tried installing Drivers Manualy, tried using the PDAnet Solution, tried unistalling all USB Ports, tried applications to help.
Will the Lapdock (and other accessories for that matter) work for the new Atrix 2 coming? I've only used the Lapdock lightly and it will be a real shame if it and the other accessories I've purchased over the past year won't work with the 2nd gen Atrix.
I recently had to get a replacement Atrix through AT&T after my original one shattered. I had insurance and AT&T provided me a refurbished one through their insurance program. My question is, will I still be able to get all future updates on this phone or is there something I need to do?
I did the Jelly Bean update on my two month old Atrix HD yesterday. Then my apps started closing on their own and then the homescreen started doing the same thing. Tried to do a FDR and I have the little android guy on my screen now with what looks like a rotating atom in his belly and a blue progress bar below him. Been like this for several hours now and I even tried calling the Motorola people and I'm still where I was. Can anyone offer a solution before I take it back to where I bought it from to see if they will even replace it? I did the holding down the volume buttons simultaneously and then the power button, got the motorola logo and then goes right back to this annoying little android guy with the rotating atom in his belly.
Other android devices have the ability to synch with picassa to view their online albums am I missing something or is this a big whoops not included on Moto's part.
Using a Factory defaulted N97.Everytime I go to browse the web on N97 I get a "Are you connecting over WiFi?" default page.This annoying page shows Fbk, Ytbe, bebo, myspace, etc etc icons & some scpill about use 3's wifi network..I am with 3 and defaulted to Always use WLAN (ie - my home wireless B/bnd)I have my homepage set already.When I push the homepage button in the options it takes me where I need to be.
I have a problem with my xperia Z2. i've been on the net for hours searching for the answer but all they've said was just to soft restart it which i did but to no success of fixing it.
I updated my phone from kitkat to the new android lolipop. everything went fine. everything was great. but suddenly just this morning a problem concerning my notifcation bar arise.
My problem is swiping down my notification bar. it works fine on the lock screen but when the moment i unlock my phone, i cant easily swipe it down. i have to linger my hand from the top bezzle slowly swiping my thumb so that the notification bar would respond. i dont have all day to do this. i tried activating the show touch option to see how my touch responded to the screen. and there i think is the problem. there is this small gap between the bezzle and the top screen of my Z2.
Now the tricky thing to this problem is, why would my lockscreen-notification-bar-swipe work but my homepage swiping of the notification bar wont? they have the same gap of the touch between the bezzle and the screen when I touch the upper most part of the screen yet both work differently in terms of the responsiveness of the notification bar.
Can I set my phone to always open Google search page each time i open Firefox ? It wants to show me the last page viewed. I would like it to offer a clean blank Google screen with blank address bar ready for typing a search !!
