Motorola Quench :: Remove Widgets From Home Screen?
May 16, 2011
I recently had my arm twisted by my carrier to switch to a capped plan after years of pre-paid. With the deal came a lovely little QUENCH with MOTOBLUR MB501. I am enjoying the phone but as I am not an internet social networker I would love to remove the "Add a social network" widgets from my homescreen. As yet I have not been able to work out how to do so.
Around a week ago when I turned my motorola quench on I found that a bunch of settings were reset including the passcode lock and my choice to use the swype keyboard. Although I was able to change those back easily enough, my home button since then does not work. In order to close an app, I now have to use the back button (which means losing my pages if I am in a web browser). The command for pressing the home button twice still works.
Did my software update the other day and apart from noticing the battery tends to run out quicker than previously, I have a new issue.
Put my phone onto charge last night with phone turned off. Don't normally do that but kept getting FB notifications. Turned phone on this morning and noticed several widgets missing from my home screen. There are gaps where widgets were but now they are missing. They are still on the phone as they're visible on the other screen where all my apps are.
According to Nokia's user guide for the C6-01, I should be able to press and hold on the home screen for the Add shortcut option to appear. It doesn't. Instead I am given the option to only add widgets. Can some please tell me how I can add apps to the home screen, or at least transfer them from another screen
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.
Lately I've been noticing that the displayed time on my home screen widget is inaccurate. A simple tap on the widget seems to rectify things but it's weird. I'm using Transparent Weather Clock but I also noticed the same thing using the 3D Flip Clock widget.
Interestingly, my wife is using the Note 2 and she's having the same problem.
As this is happening with multiple widgets on multiple phones I feel safe in assuming that it's not related to the devices themselves or the widgets per se.
Just updated to Belle this morning & having a problem installing widgets/shortcuts to the home-screen. It worked at 1st but now it stalls & the little circle just keeps spinning forever & does not do anything.
Suddenly my phone is not showing any pictures, for my contacts, in my happenings, and in facebook. for example, all contacts look like the little grey manican, and when people change their profile pic in my happenings it will not load. I've tried removing the battery, uninstalling facebook and then re-installing - nothing. I've also done a factory data reset - nothing.
My widgets on the screen such as shortcuts to turn bluetooth and WiFi on and off seem really large?There doesn't seem to be a way to shrink them down a little?
I had some applications installed from my sd card. once i removed my sd card and reinserted, i couldnot able to find my applications, now i want to delets those shortcuts
I have a Nokia E72 and I have a customization problem. I have a gmail account installed in the phone and there is a homescreen link for it, just under the applications bar at the top. The thing I want to delete this link from my home screen but there is no settings for it. This link is not seen in home screen customization links in mod settings nor in the mail settings. how to delete this from home screen?
I'm wondering if it is possible to just remove the search bar without disabling Google now? I use the swipe to the right feature on stock launcher and would like to retain that functionality.
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 put clock to my content in Nokia C6 so that now i see clock in my home screen but i can't remove it . i can add and remove other contents but clock don't remove.
Is it possible to remove the preview of the email notification on the home screen?I mean to leave only the message "you have an email" headers without the last three emails.
The settings and apps selection icon appear on every home screen panel. I don't want either on my main home screen panel as I keep hitting them when my phone is in my pocket and end up with stuff added or changed. I want them gone even if that means they are gone from every home screen panel.
I just received my Wildfire today and struggling to understand it (didn't come with a user guide, just a "quick setup", but got one from the web). What I'd like to know is, is there any way to delete or remove widgets? There's lots of information on how to add them, but none that I can see that tells you how to remove them, either permanently or temporarily. The ones in particular I want to get rid of are the Weather and the Internet, since I don't have a use for the former and don't want to accidentally activate the latter, as I never use the net on a mobile (that's what I have a PC for!)...
