Hi,
The old symbian phone displays the area/location on home screen, even if the GPS/GPRS is not activated. This is provided by the network operator.
I am missing the same in my Android phone.
Even My Location option does not display the area/location on homescreen, it displays only the Network operator name.
I tried looking for apps, but all are for displaying the operator's name but not location.
I can check my location using any GPS application, but those does not display it on my home screen along with Operators name.
I want it similar to my Nokia N81 where the operator name and area name are displayed.
Thanks in advance for your help
Best Regards,
Gopinath B
There's an app minimalistic text. You can make some text display in homescreen. Lot of choices, time/date/custom text etc. I only use that for custom text.
Edit: it has time12h time24h battery% weather °c weather °f custom text, it doesn't have the operator.

Hey it has location options under custom.
System preferences like int/ext sd card space, ram, etc. Weather, and much more! You should try that. I hope i helped you.

The weather program won't let me change the default location from Detroit. I keep deleting the Detroit location, and when I click back to the home screen it automatically creates and defaults back to Detroit location. This happens whether the gps locator is on or off. Please help!
Thanks,
Adam
delete the main clock/weather widget from the homescreen then long press and add HTC widget then clock and find the default then set any location your like from there or use the current location setting which always seems to change from a city name to numbers for me. oh well. hope this helps

★ Create widgets from almost any website element
★ Parse graphs and images
★ Extract statistics and information from authorized sites

SwitchMe shouldnt affect anything. Just try rebooting - its probably a launcher cache problem.
Let me know if the issue persists please.
How this widget works? When I add the widget it shows me a browser I enter the url hit enter then what should I do next? How can I add it to my homescreen?

I take it you just ignored the tooltips? Gotta love it. And the video as well? Lovely.
Go to a webpage. Enter spot mode. Wait for it to reload the page. Tap on any element in the webpage.
I hope it works on your aokp 36...
Very sorry! I was in a hurry earlier. Trying right now.
L.E : Works very well, I will try it these days and I will give you some feedback.
So you were in a hurry and you decided to post on a forum? Thats a contradiction in terms if eer ive seen one.
No offense mate, just ****s and giggles
You are a funny guy

You mention a video. However, I don't see it. Google returns metawidget.org which is obviously not the same thing.
Actually, I found it, in one of these other threads you started about meta widget.

Problem: The widget title alignment doesn't seem to work. Regardless of choosing center or right, it remains aligned on the left.
Suggestion: Ability to select two colors so you can alternate colors for each line of a widgets content.

Hi again i got it to workign using adw
i may be using it wrong but i can only seem to be able to select one element on a wbsite
so on say engadget on the mobile
i can only select one story not the whole colume of them
is there a way to do this cause other wise it doesnt really work for me as a newsfeed.
couple of bugs ive found
when on engadgets desktop site, when i press the slect box thingy the buttons all disappear and come back ever time i click but then go again
works fine on mobile site though
anther is that on facebook on the desktop site, when i click the select box the whole news feed goes blank.
I know the answer to these problems is just "use the mobile site" but i thought id let you know
Cheers for the app though

I mentioned the title alignment does not work. And it seems the content alignment doesn't work either. Regardless of selecting right or center, everything aligns left.
EDIT: Alignment failed to work with m.fark.com however worked with content created from a google feed.
Also, from the video, before adding the widget the user is prompted for widget dimensions. This does not happen. Perhaps it is something to do with Nemus. But, once the widget is added I am able to scale the widget to my desired dimensions.
Device: Korean Tab 10.1WiFi (shw-m380w)
ROM: Stock Honeycomb FD19
Launcher: Nemus Launcher
Very cool app.
Suggestions:
Abiliy to enable a border.
Ability to create a template or set defaults that stores color and font sizes, etc to easily create like widgets without having to adjust new widgets to match existing widgets.
Once the desired content is selected the ui advances to the widget settings where you can select content and then colors, etc. If the user presses the back button, the widget closes and the user has to start all over again. Please change the back function to bring the user back to the content selection page or the browser window. It's really frustrating having to start over!
Ability to set a global update frequency and/or a per widget update frequency.

Alignment works fine for me on all devices i have, what is your device name and firmware version?
My Rezound seems to offer no way to change the Home Clock. I can add clocks, but I can't change or delete this one clock that is set to Arizona. I turned off Location Settings, too, but I still have the one Arizona clock (presumably because that's where Verizon ships from).
I am also trying to show a summary of a few scheduled activites on my Home screen, to no avail. It seems useless to me to have a Calendar widget that only shows one activity, because I would think people would want to see at least a few so they know what their day might be like, without having to always click on something. I know I have the option to select different views; trouble is that the other views are too big to be allowed to fit on the Home screen.
Any help in these areas would be greatly appreciated.
FWIW, I don't know how Android got to be so popular. Although it LOOKS cool, it seems very clunky trying to find things (things are often not sensibly placed), and the stuff like changing a clock or displaying activities should be easier to do. Perhaps I am missing something? :crying:
That is a bug in the stock HTC CLOCK.
I live in upstate NY and my clock insists I am in new York city (if I use current location) and there is absolutely no way to delete that location.
I have tried deleting and reinstalling the clock etc and NYC just keep reappearing no matter what I do.
If I go to edit where it should be possible to delete NYC it isn't even listed.
This phone has been out for how long now? I run a software company myself, and there's no way we'd let a simple little bug like that ruin our reputation, never mind leaving our customers frustrated for this long. In fact, we'd have fixed something like that within days!
Thanks for letting me know that I spent nearly 20 hours on this phone, trying to figure it out. Do you happen to know if there is anything like a registry editor or something we can use to edit settings under the hood?
What about having an agenda listing on the Home screen, like Windows Mobile used to have? Know anything settings that might allow that? Or, am I wasting my time, there, too? I mean, first the clock, then I beat my head against the wall trying to get my Windows Media Player playlists to go across with HTC Sync, only to give up and manually copy them using "disk drive" mode. That's actually almost worse than the clock thing, in that HTC Sync offers the playlist option, but doesn't even see them on the PC!
For the calendar, which widget are you using. If you are using the one that is only 1 grid tall, that one is only made to show 1. If you need more than 1 event, just use the larger calendar widget.
Problem is that the other larger sized widgets aren't allowed to be place on the Home Screen, because a message says there is not enough room. SIGH

Tap the home button while on the Sense Rosie homescreen to bring the view out to display up to all 7 panels of the launcher. If you don't have all 7 active you have an option to add a panel. You may also delete an entire panel at once by tapping and holding the panel, then dragging to Delete. This allows you to add a fresh blank panel afterwards.
Alternatively, choose a panel to clear out manually. Tap and hold on icons and widgets until you enter an editing mode where you may reposition items or drag to the Delete icon.
It is simply wanting you to add a panel and/or clear out clutter manually first to ensure it doesn't delete your existing items.
Also note the Play Store has other launchers available you can try instead of HTC's Sense. Some allow more homescreens, but you will lose use of the widgets exclusive to the Sense interface. Some have comparable widgets integrated and there are apps with widgets in the Play Store too. It is suggested to get a feel for the stock Sense launcher a bit longer though.
Apologies for the double post, but wanted to address each topic seperate and Multi-Quote after the fact.

Take this with a grain of salt since I'm unfortunately running Sense 4 and not 3.5 or 3.6 right now. But I believe there should be a setting if you tap on the clock widget on your homescreen, go to the World Clock tab and hit the Menu button. If not there, then *somewhere* with the Menu for World Clock, perhaps when you select Edit if not the first option. If someone else could chime in on this.

A note to both of you: as far as this World Clock tab is concerned, this is precisely how a traditional traveler's clock works. It makes more sense when you realize the Home Clock is meant as the Home Time Zone. Just as when you set a time zone on a PC or forum, it usually just provides a list of major cities to choose from. I will say Sense 4 shows the current location in addition to this "Hometown" and unsure about older Sense but again, the primary function of World Clock is "nearby major city's timezone + time zones across other frequented or contacted locations."
Now jmoreton10, if the *weather* widget isn't showing your proper location, there is an issue with your Location settings. While the World Clock only can add and locate major cities, Weather should be able to tell where you are exactly by zip code. I may have had issues like that with both Verizon and Google location on; try using just Google location if you confirm Weather is not showing current location properly.

I don't think you understand what we're saying, or maybe we don't understand what you're saying. The Home clock does NOT display MY home. It displays someone else's home... in Arizona. I am in California. Moreover, the Home clock cannot be edited or deleted on the Home screen. However, if I add a traveler clock to ANOTHER panel/desktop/screen, I can choose what cities I want on it upon adding the widget, but once again, once the widget is added, if I click on the clock, I see the same Arizona Home clock in addition to the other cities I added. IIRC, Arizona does not change times when we "spring ahead" or "fall back" like we do here in CA. So, I think that kills your theory of a nearby major city in the same time zone, doesn't it? Same with those people seeing Detroit when they live in NY. Personally, I am really starting to hate Arizona!
New phone came in. Don't know if there's a difference, but it appears that there is a way to change the Home Clock. It's not very intuitive, but:
Click on the Clock Widget. On World Clock, choose the Menu button. Click Home Settings. Type your City, or SUPER HUGE MAJOR CITY nearby. Type VERY slow, because there is a very limited number of cities. If you type too fast for the app, it will give you a "not found" error. Dumb, I know, but at least we all now know WTH is wrong with this thing.
Hi all newbie here and did a few searches and tried to look for help but could not find right info, also I hope I am in the right spot to post so please feel free to tell me if I am not in the right place. Currently running ICS 4.0.4 up-to-date at time of writing on Vodafone Australia but I don't think the country of service provider is the problem. I have a problem with my 'Home Screen Dock' NOT THE 'Lock Screen Dock' I can change icons on the lock screens no problems, All the help, forums and videos on changing the 'Home Screen Dock' Icons say to simply drag, drop[ and replace. All i wanted to do is change the stock "Internet" Icon with Chrome. Dragged the internet icon of and went to drag the Chrome one on but I can't as instead of the dock staying visible like on some videos it changes to the Delete Icon option. Cant find settings please help. Also I do not want to use a 3rd party launcher. I tried Apex and do like it but I use widgets and can't use widgets as my phone is not rooted. Please help arrrgghhh. Thanks in advance.
PS . I just have a blankspot where my internet Icon use to be.
I am running JB at the moment, so can't tell you perfectly. But I remember having this situation before and I used menu-edit to change icons in dock. try that.
Or go into app drawer and navigate to page where chrome is then go menu-edit... pick chrome and try to bring it down on the dock.

Gonna go and get rooted the I can take full advantage of APEX Launcher.
Hi All,
Like StefsGalaxy, I've done a myriad of searches re: TouchWiz Shortcut Dock and thus have yielded no results, or at least nothing fluid anyway.
I guess it is a localised issue. i.e. AU Only. I'm with the Vodafone network but have seen posts the same from people who are on Telstra.
I've read a few threads on XDA RE: Modifying TouchWiz, and have been fairly successful. Said Mods have mostly been Column / Row modifications to allow for more icons on the HomeScreen and AppDrawer.
I'm interested to know if there is a way I can
A) Modify the application shortcuts on the dock (within the APK)
B) Undo the changes that Samsung have 'borked'
C) Revert to a pre-jelly bean version of TouchWiz (seclauncher2.apk) where the functionality to change the Apps still exists..
Perhaps if I could find seclauncher.apk from a 4.0.4 build (any directions on where are welcome), I could compare the differences between the two and re-compile for 4.1.1.
Any alternative suggestions that don't involve a complete ROM change or a new Launcher? (I quite like what I have)
Thanks in advance....
Look at any promo image of the HTC One (I can't post a link here because I'm new). Underneath the date it says "LONDON, 12C." I also want my phone to say the name of the city I am in, but it only says "MY LOCATION," and I can't find any option to change this. Surely I don't have to entirely disable location services...right?
