Xperia Ray :: Home Screen App Sharing Has No Options?
Oct 3, 2012
Something changed on my Xperia Ray and I don't know what or why. For some reason, when I try to share an app from my Home Screen, the options menu that used to appear asking for how I would like to share is no longer there. It used to be that I could long click an app on my Home Screen and then drag it up to the top where it says "SHARE." Then an options menu would appear and I could select how I would like to share. Now, when I drag something over the "SHARE" area, a little dialog box appears saying "Creating Post." Then it says "Connection Error." I have tried factory reseting my phone and repairing my phone more times than I can count. I'm not sure where the problem is. I also notice, that some settings seem to stay with the phone even after a repair or factory reset. For example, I had to manually enter my APN information when I first got the phone. It is now already entered when I finish a repair. I don't know if this sharing problem is some deep setting that I can't reset or something else all together. It's a royal pain. I really liked and used this feature before and now it's gone!
Is there a way to change the links/options shown under home screen ? For instance on my E72 I get following options: @Set Up e-mail <Mailbox1> <Mailbox2> ,Calendar Events WLAN scanning off Search I want to now change @Set up e-mail option with something else of my choice . Is that possible?
I'm disappointed with the home screen tray options, specifically the option of being able to switch between "Home," "Favorites," "Media," etc. I much prefer the way the Curve is set up, with 5 or 6 icons on the home screen and the rest of the icons in only ONE tray. Is there any way to change those options or get rid of the extra trays altogether?
I want to share my mobile screen with PC over WiFi so that I will be able to see pics/video on PC just by playing on mobile. Is there any way I can do it. Is there any app.
It just stopped working. the screen goes black and only the two right options are shown, but it desn't respond AT ALL. I can't even use apps that use the camera such as Goggles.
I've setup homesharing as every guide I have ever read says to. However the step where I go to more tab on the music app on my phone, there is no shared option. I've turned the phone off and on, made sure the app was closed properly, and nothing.
Do I need to set up a library to share first? All the videos seemed to have a library in the shared tab in itunes. I can't find a way to do this, as the sharing options in preferences just say either share selected playlists, or my entire library.
I'm trying to connect my iphone to my new apple TV. The home sharing page says I need to turn this feature on in the "Setting" menu under "ipod"... I have no "ipod" feature on my iphone.
I'm trying to set up Home Sharing on my iPhone 4. The instructions say = "On your iPhone, tap Settings > iPod". Why would a setting for iPod be on my iPhone? If it should be there, I can't find it. I'm totally confused and frustrated with trying to set up Home Sharing.
All instructions say too push "iPod" under settings to turn on homesharing for iPhone and it does not exist. I have homesharing working on windows laptop but since that is not always turned on I would rather home share iTunes library from iPhone since my iPhone is always turned on.
I want to setup my phone to stream my iTunes on my home computer. My phone has OS 5.1.1 installed and I do not see a menu option for settings>ipod anywhere. Is there something I'm missing to setup Home Sharing? I've already done setup on the computer.
I recently downloaded an hd (1080p) tv series. When I try to use home sharing to watch it on my iphone (4), I cannot. Is this because it will not stream 1080p/play1080p on the phone/or compress it to work on the phone? Is there a way to download sd?
However when I connect to BB desktop manager the phone is identified with the correct PIN. The fact that it is zero at home>options>status is causing some of my apps to fail to work. This just happened today evidently when I sync'd the phone to my desktop. I have only loaded one OS update, and that was weeks ago. The particular app is question is Shortcut Me
Since getting my new phone - Samsung s6 in September I have been using it for screen mirroring with my TV to watch some movies and stuff. So decided to watch some more today and the screen locks after a time, say 10 mins.
How I change this? Non of the options I have seen allow this to be disabled they just allow for it to be longer. 10 for screen turn off and 30 mins for lock is the most I can get.
Just discovered my home screen is blank, so I thought I had accidentally changed/moved it when I turned on "Easy Mode" to check that out. Switched back to "Standard Mode", but found my home screen gone, with a blank page in it's place. I found some directions on how to move pages around, making one a home screen. I selected the page I wanted as home screen and moved it to the page where the white house icon is highlighted. I was done but noticed nothing had changed. Home page still blank, so I did it again. I find that whenever I try creating my home screen page by moving it to the highlighted white house icon, the white house icon shifts to the left, remaining blank.
I've recently got my Z5 (upgrade from Z3) literally on Monday 23rd Nov.
I've loaded most of the stuff I had on my Z3 and not loaded anything else that I didn't have on the Z3 (eg. Apps).
However, the first morning upon trying to sleepily swipe the alarm off, it wouldn't work so when I eventually opened my sleep encrusted eyes to see what was up it had a little pop up message saying "home screen not responding: close | wait" so what I pressed as I was trying to get it to stop blaring out Queen at the ungodly hour.
Didn't think much of it but over the past few days it's been doing it still. This morning it did the same thing but it also does it during the day too when I take it out and unlock to start using it.
I'm not sure if it's a temporary thing and whether it's because it's the first usage and it's unhappy with my choice of alarm music, the music I listen to during the day via Bluetooth headphones or maybe the somewhat RAM hogging weather live app I have running as a live background function.
I tried Google but it came up about home being touch unresponsive which this isn't technically doing. If I press "wait" it's a bit like a pc in that it will sit frozen for a minute then start working.
I was using my phone to record something earlier; the battery died while it was filming! I have got the phone charged up and turned on, but I have no home screen. I can access the camera by holding the button on the side, I can access the drop down menu/settings, but that's it.
I have tried holding the power and volume up buttons for 10 seconds; the phone turned off, the time reset, but then went back to normal (time). Still no home screen.
I'm a quadriplegic and unable to use my hands well enough to manipulate the iPhone very easily. I got it for texting/phone calls through my MacBook (which is awesome by the way).Â
Just like I can connect and control my Mac Pro via the screen sharing app, is it possible to do the same with the iPhone?Â
I'm running a (late 2008) MacBook Pro with the latest Yosemite updates and iPhone 6 with the latest iOS updates (still unable to connect via Bluetooth, but the iPhone can connect via Wi-Fi…
How do I add Email widget on the home screen? I want the notification / if possible preview of the mail as and when they arrive. When I try to add widgets, I am not able to see the email widget on the Choose Widgets option
