Any comments? i tried keeping my finger pressed on the icons but that opens the apps up...help! i am trying to remove some icons from the screens
thanks
People please, 22 posts and no replies? I am certain some of you must have updated the firmware and found this bug. I tried searching for çustomization' and other words I could think of but could not find the correct threads on this. Please help, I cannot find any way to edit the screens (not even in settings).
Thanks a lot in advance for your inputs, really appreciate
I think HTC changed the delay when moving or removing widgets or shortcuts from Home pages.
Just needs a more accurate and slightly longer press and hold before it triggers the move.
I must admit, its not as easy as it was.
Just make sure you press the icons for long enough. I find it sometimes takes as long as 10 second for the remove option to come up. And also, its seems slightly tempremental sometimes. If it doesnt work after 10 seconds, try again.
Hold the icon only after the screen/scene is static
People
It just opens the app up after 2 seconds, no matter how long i keep pressing it. I have tried multiple ways....has anyone reported this to HTC? any easier way around this? This is pissing me off!

Given noone else has this problem, shouldn't you be the one reporting it?
I did, am just trying to find out if someone else already has a solution for it....anyone?

I don't have the problem, it works just fine for me. I suggest you try doing a hard reset or something, sounds like something hasn't installed right on your system.
Have you tried long presses on other apps, like messages? Just to see if it recognises long presses at all...
Silly question...
Your not trying this in the applications list are you ?
You are trying this on the Home screens ??
Just want to clear that up
Yes I am trying on the homescreen, I even have tried changing the scenes to try it for the icons....does not work And yes I have tried it on all icons, apparently all the big icons (HTC ones) seem to work much better (though not always) whereas shotcuts to applications seem to be the worst. On a total average 98 out of 100 times the shortcuts open the application no matter how i try it....emailed HTC and they told me the same story of what is written in the manual even though I explained i already did that.....have emailed them again to see if they take it more seriously
anyone else have a solution?

I can only suggest that you either return the phone (if possible), or at least try rolling back the firmware to see if this fixes your issue.
As it stands, it looks like you are the only person in this community suffering from this, so it makes it very unlikely it is a "generic" firmware issue, and more likely that it has something to do with your physical device.

Hi guys, ive looked all around the web trying to find a solution but i cant say i found something yet so here it is.
I have a Nokia N900 right now and as much as i like it, its getting old, so im slowly looking for a new phone.
I feel like i might have been spoiled by the N900 multitasking and i want to know if my requirement for my new are possible to have.
So here it is: Is it possible to multitask with multiple instances of some applications? Really its only for email and sms, so i can for example copy text from one email, paste it in another one that is also open at the same time and can switch back and forth between them. In other words, can i have multiple sms/email conversations opened at the same time (one conversation with bob, one with jack, one with dave...) i often have more than 10-15 of them open at the same time on my n900 and if there would be only one reason for me to keep my phone it would be that.
I looked for multitasking apps with grid view hoping it would do that but from what i see you can only have one of those apps running at once anyway and it might seem crazy but for the number of time I switch between conversations on my n900, like i would using WLM for example, this could be a major dealbreaker for me if its not possible.
I'm sorry if it looks like a stupid question or something but ive completely missed the bus regarding android/ios/bb developpement as i used wm6.5 then switched directly to maemo5 2 years ago.
no one, really?
I don't think it works this way on Android, though you just might be able to find an app that does this.
thanks for the input
Sup Neo! I too went from the N900 to a GSII and I find myself not regretting it at all. There is no TRUE multitasking like the N900, at all from what I have found.
I'm not sure if any apps have been made available for such multi tasking, but I don't think anyone here who doesn't have N900 experience will understand what we mean.
Now it just needs an N900 writer to make something happen for android. Otherwise, I do NOT regret switching over, I absolutely love the speed and freedom of my new phone. The N900 was killing me on simple tasks like sending and receiving MMS, or connecting to the internet without destroying my battery life. No regrets.

Yo. Most Android apps can support multitask on its own UNLESS the developer has puposely disable it.
iOS and Android don't run in Windows style, ie, you can open 2 Mozilla Firefox windows at the same time. Copy and paste work the same as the pc.
So I guess you would have problems in the multiple email opening thing, most phones cannot.
So my suggestion is to keep your N900 as a email phone and change to android or iPhone as your main phone.

Having two phones would suck, and I'm sure he would get over the whole multi tasking issue after a week of using the SII
But I have to say, nothing is as impressive as bouncing around from different windows, and different text messages, and different apps as much as you want.
You just can't substitute for it

Ok OK so Android does have "True" multi-tasking
I would like to see it have Multiple Visible applications running at once and accessible between each other. Maybe that's what we should say when we want to see "Real" multitasking, and not just "true" multitasking.
Once again, still satisfied, but we have a craving that we want to fill as well sometimes.
I would like to see android implement this. Webos(palm/hp) had "card style" applications windows and it was epic. That's said, I'm back to android. Just sayin

Hmm, depends what kind of multitasking you like, the one that actually let's you fully quits apps or one that is fully automated, meaning that you just use it without doing anything and still feel the multitasking, ie you press the home button and it still runs, however you may not notice it, until u use the same app again. However, this means you have to restart every night, to really close the apps, otherwise android will manage for you.
So it means that apps run indefinitely, and when you reopen the app, it will revert to what you did before, you can complete task like scanning eg those with a progress bar and you will see it filling the bar until completion even in the homescreen or other apps, and as I said, unless the developer wants to close the app when you are not using it.

That's Androids Multitasking in a Nutshell, completely understand how it works and it does work well I might add. But it's just the extra step of being able to visually locate the running apps and access them. If you look at your Task Killer for example, you see the running tasks correct? But in order to use them, you have to navigate to the app and click it, no matter where it is on your system.
What I would love to see would be more of a Click and Open option to viewing your running tasks. Sort of like a back screen when you Zoom Out of your desktop on android. The same way you can see all of your desktops, you would be able to see all of your running apps and select which one to open, or to close.

That looks very interesting, is that for ICS? Even if it were for only one instance of each app, it would be more than we have now.
I just hate going from one app, to sending a text, to opening that app again. But I am not dying without it, that's for sure

Yup I just discovered that and it works like a charm. Not a replacement but for now that will satisfy my needs.
Look, I'm not arguing with anyone here, just explaining the idea behind what us N900 users were used to and how useful it would be if implemented in android, this is all.

I suppose this is your first android phone? We're having a discussion here no worries. Yeah but if android were to use the window thing, there would be 10-20 Windows everytime. That's where the homescreen comes, just drag all your frequently used apps there and done, the so called window is done

Andriod multitasks. You can have a ton of apps open at the same time and switch between them. However you can not have more then one instance of the same app running. So while you cant open say gmail and open multiple mails in seperate frames you can still switch between say a web page and mail.
There might be so great mail apps out there that handle mail seperatly, im just not sure which would do it. Bottom line,x the android OS is more then capable of doing what you want. Someone just needs to make or find the app for your needs.

That's just it, that would be the thing I KNOW android doesn't have yet wish it did. We all know we can't have more than one instance of the same app running at once, that much is clear. But having it would be the part I crave, and I'm sure others as well.
Imagine being able to reference to a previous text with someone else whenever you want to while working on another text with someone different.
Like I said, I UNDERSTAND YOU CAN'T DO IT, I just wish you could!
and I wish people would stop explaining it to me lol, I KNOW, and I'm not asking for anyone to tell me how it works. I'm just saying, it would be nice, this is all!
also, being able to bounce from Xterm to open notepads or texts to anything, now that is how you process info on a phone. We'll never be satisfied, but for now I am.
Thanks for the replies fellas.

Chill man, ease on the caps
My first android phone is SGS3 and ...
I have so very many questions I dont even know where to start. Just like it said in the video I am a noob so this might even be in the wrong section.
For the starters a few questions come to mind (and yes, I did use the search button, viewed tens maybe hundreds of forum pages) so please would someone be so kind and help me with following
1] In the browser, when I click bookmarks, I find local but under that two other empty folders with my gmail adress but both empty. How do I remove them?
2] How to properly setup mail for exchange. I have my gmail and hotmail accounts added. Sometimes they work sometimes they dont and how the widget updates is really beyond me.
3] One thing that really bothers me since I like to keep my devices clean and arranged is uninstalling apps and games. I noticed that after uninstalling some files remain.
4] Another thing is that mostly with trial versions of apps, I cant seem to find them anywhere in my files folder therefore I cant check if after uninstalling all the junk is removed.
Besides that I can say that the phone is pretty good although the build and the pentile is kinda let down but enough has been said on this forum on that subject.
Thank you for your answers.

Honestly, I recommend using Google Chrome. You can download it from the market.
The folders with your Gmail address are for sync across devices. Afaik it can be disabled by System Settings->Accounts&Sync->[Email address]->untick "Sync Browser"

The same issue as on all computers... messy apps. The files on the sdcard do not really belong to the app so Android cannot delete them automatically. I agree that it's a terrible chaos after trying out several apps which is very annoying. Sadly that issue is present with all computers including GNU/Linux, Windows, ...

You cannot see the app installation folder since the system hides them. All you can see is the before-mentioned junk.

new also to SGSlll
I'm also new to the SGSlll and I have a the same questions that were answered and it helped a lot but I got a couple of my own if it's not to imposing to ask,
1) Somehow the green call button that used to be beside the number or the name of the contact in the logs section disappeared and I know I can swipe to call it, but I would like that button back because it is easier for me. I don't know whether this was gone from the recent update.
2) why is there some games and apps that I can't find in play store, I tried to DL them from the Internet and it said you can't DL them in your country (Egypt) is there anything I could that will allow me to DL them?
3) Is there any ways to create a folder so that I can put all the games together for example??
Thank you very much and sorry for the inconvenience as I said am still new to andriods.

Restrictions can be imposed on multiple levels
- Hardware specs (notably display resolution)
- Android Version
- Hardware name
- Country
- Carrier
In your case it seems to be the country. There are multiple descriptions on XDA and other sites, but afaik all of them include using a Proxy server. It's not trivial but unfortunately the only method for accessing them from the Play Store.

Not on the stock launcher afaik. You can create folders on the home screen but not in the app drawer.
There exist several other free Launchers in the Play Store capable of creating folders, try them out.

You can create folders in the apps drawer by clicking the left menu button > edit. Then drag an app (you should be able to see an empty folder icon at bottom left corner) and mount it over the folder icon. The app will now appear in a folder. Rest of the apps can be moved to the folder as well and you can name it whatever you like. Be sure to save the setting at top right corner. This folder can also be dragged to the home screen menu. Hope this helps.

That works well, did not know this. Personally I like to use Apps Organizer by Fabio Collini (on the Market for free). It also gives u the opportunity to create folders with your themed apps (i.e. games / tools / navigation / ...) The advantage here is that you can select your own icon for the folder to go on your home screen. Especially if you have a lot of themed folders (like I do) you can create a much nicer look this way.

The call button on the right side was removed in the LFB update. Samsung probably thought it was redundant and I agree with that. They could have made it optional though.
At the moment there's no way to get that back unless you replace that particular apk (dialer.apk maybe) with the older version of it.

That's fully configurable. Dropbox doesn't upload anything except you actually tell it to.
Go to Settings->Accounts->Sync and disable the Sync accounts and settings you do not need or want.
I'd recommend syncing Contacts+Bookmarks through Google and using SMS Backup+ to sync call logs and SMS.
With those present, even a lost/broken device would be acceptable in terms of data loss to me.
As originally described, I thought it was hoaky. But watching it in action a couple of times, I like it. I do see that when installing the apps, I always seem to get several apps that need attention, and won't resolved.
But, text messages are saved, Themes are saved, but NOT screen layout. Login for accounts are pushed with a prompt.
Takes most, not all, of the pain of a hard reset away.
For me is useless.
It just copy the list of the installed apps WITHOUT the data!
It does not save the start screen..
Conclusion, if you hard reset the phone you can just restore the list of apps some configurations and SMS..
I was waiting for the same iCloud backup

I think it's useless as well. If you're using an unlocked phone it doesn't work at all. You can't go through the setup properly because you have no data until you input your APN. Once you do, you have no chance to restore from backup.
i didn't think much about it until i switched my black 920 for a white one, and man was it nice having it download my apps and input all my settings for me. it's still a little buggy (with the apps that require attention and the lack of the start screen layout being saved) but it's a pretty handy feature imo.

I think the apps that require attention are the preinstalled Nokia apps needing update. As long as I know what they are, I'm good.
It installed 79 apps for me, (except for Nokia Exclusives, Qty.4), I had to enter email passwords, and my setting were all restored. Compaired to what we had to do before had Im happy. I imagine it will get better too. As for app & game date backup I have a few games and apps that offer them via the app.
Hi
if a topic already exists with an answer to my question, please forgive me, i searched but didn't find.
All in all, here's my question : how does google now work? i can't find a way to chose which cards are displayed, in which order, etc ...
for instance, i set a google now widget on my homesreen with 3 row dimension, but it uses only one, and displays only the next task in my calendar, even though i got 4 coming today and it has empty space where it could display them.
Also when in google now, i can't find a way to order my tabs :-/ i would like my calendar tabs over the meteo ones, etc
all this seems very "not ergonomical" but i guess i'm just confused....
thanks a lot for your answers

Hope you Understand
Google Now collects all the data available and then accordingly tells you about them.
For Eg.- If you travel from one place to another regularly it will collect that particular data. Through Maps
Then it would show you the Estimated time and traffic related details.
It also provides Bus or Train timings if your nearby a Railway or Bus station.
Similarly it provides many useful cards BUT it requires a working data plan and time.
mmh i guess i'll give it a try then. but what about rearranging cards ?

You cant arrange them.
They Pop-up accordingly.But if you do not want a particular card swipe to remove it
but then after, how do i re bring it back if i ever need it :-/
Doesn't it also take some time to learn? I had it on for about a week before things started popping up.
First TRY IT
