I even resorted to a hard restart....went through that whole process and NO CHANGE!!! what happened and what do i do????
By "hard restart" are you referring to a factory reset as described here? If so, then you will need to bring it to a VZ store or call them for assistance.

Blank black home screen after lollipop update!
My phone is: Xperia Z3 Compact
After updating my phone from android 4.4.4. To lollipop 5.0.2, I get a blank black home screen, and I can't access anything in the phone except notifications and settings when scrolling from top.
The 3 buttons in the bottom are there but do not function.
This happens randomly about 2-3 times everyday for no specific reason and the only way to fix it is to restart the phone by the power button, otherwise the update is great and everything is working good.
Anyone knows how to fix it please?hi is there any solution?I just bought a new phone after update and I have a black screen I can't connect pc companion asks me for a PIN, maybe I should send a phone for service please help regards,a.

Home screen bookmark icons different on IPad 2
I have a question that I hope someone can answer, I've been trying to add bookmarks to my home screen, but their icons are just a snap shot of the web page. I have the same icon on my iPhone home screen, and the icon automatically change to an actual icon.
Is there a reason why these icons would be acting differently between the iPhone and the iPad??
ThanksI've contacted both companies and they state that it has to do with the ipad recognizing the icon, and that it has nothing to do with the web site design, any other suggestions?
Thanks -
Home screen bookmarks icon change on firefox upgrade
Whenever FF upgrades bookmark icons on my home screen revert to the FF default. Can this behavior be prevented? If not, is there a simple way, short of replacing the bookmark, to return the desktop bookmark to the one specified by the web pag?
http://www.tvpassport.com/tvgrid.shtml is one url that exhibits the problem. On the latest update I notice that both the icon and caption changed - caption became "Firefox". This particular bookmark is on the app dock.
Happens on Samsung Galaxy Tab II 10.1", GPT5113. Android 4.2.2. Also on HTC One S, ville. Android 4.1.1.
Other url displaying problem http://m.swisschalet.com/mobile/, http://thaioneon.com/mobile/. These are in a folder on the desktop. -
Frozen black home screen Iphone 6
On my IPhone 6 I can't get the home screen to open just shows black have pushed the sleep wake button nothing happens. Phone is ringing but can't see screen!! Help
Hi Krys6466,
If all you're seeing on your iPhone's screen is solid black, then please follow the directions below.
If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
Reset your device while it's plugged in.
If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Have a great weekend,

Yesterday I opened my iPhone and saw a camera icon on the home screen. I remembered that when IOS5 was introduced one of the new features was the ability to access the camera instantly from the home screen without going to the camera function on the phone. Now the camera icon on my home screen is gone. Any ideas what has happened to it?
You have to double click the home button for the camera icon to appear on the lock screen.

1 - Home screens, 2 - icon name change
2 questions -
1 - Is there a way to move an icon from the 2nd home screen to the 1st home screen? I can't seem to get it to work. They wiggle and move, but won't make the jump back to the primary home screen.
2 - Is there a way to change the name of an icon after it has been made? One of mine is too long and I'd like to shorten it.
Thanks in advance1 - Is there a way to move an icon from the 2nd home screen to the 1st home screen? I can't seem to get it to work. They wiggle and move, but won't make the jump back to the primary home screen.
Yes. Just push the icon way to the left of the screen. It should move over there.
2 - Is there a way to change the name of an icon after it has been made? One of mine is too long and I'd like to shorten it.
No, you need to delete it and make another one, if you are referring to bookmark icons.

I have had my Verizon BB Curve (8330) for about 6 months - all of a sudden my home screen displayed a "Browser" tiny icon - the globe so it looks the same as my Browser icon - with a "1" by it -
Does anyone know what this is - or how to clear it? ThanksThat would be a browser message. Go into your message icon and hit the menu key. Select view folder and then select browser messages. And that should do it.

I have a problem here. I had all the widgets on the main page and my kid drag one over to a second page and then he dragged one over to a new page. How can I drag those back because I try to click and drag the widgets back over to the first page but they are stuck in one place and won't move.
you have to press and hold on an icon before you will be able to move any. after you have held your finger on top of an icon for a couple of secounds you will notice that the icons start shaking, thats when you will be able to move them around and from page to another.

How do I remove an icon that I added to the Home Screen in Safari?
I accidentally added a webpage icon to my Home Screen in Safari and cannot remove it. On the Home Screen the icons do not act like they do on the other pages of the iPad. They do not jiggle nor can they be dragged to be removed. In the process of trying to get rid of some I ended up creating duplicates. How can I delete some of these?
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
No data will be lost. -
How can I add a home screen app icon for IOS 8?
Hi kenfromplainview,
It's a bit unclear, but I believe you would like to know how to bookmark pages from Safari as icons on your Home Screen. If that is correct, you can find more information here in the iPhone User Guide:
Keep bookmarks - iPhone
Save an icon for the current page on your Home screen. Tap , then tap Add to Home Screen. The icon appears only on the device where you create it.
Here is link you can use to create that icon:

Emac osx problem, blank home page, missing icons.
Hello. I am having trouble with my 2005 or 2006 (cant quite remeber) emac osx. I get through the login portion and it then brings me to the home screen except their are no icons visable. I also tried turning it on by holding done the option button, the apple button, and the P and R button. This made it flash from a blue screen to the home screen with icons and then back to the blue screen repeatedly. I am essentially trying to get off the harddrive about nine days worth of music. If I can do this without logging into the computer through extracting the hard drive or some other method that tip would be appreciated as well.Thanks for all hope you can help!
Some eMacs had serious, near-fatal logic board issues tha could produce the grief you describe. Before we go much farther, let's see if you have an eMac in the affected ranges.
First, look for the serial number. This article shows where to find it:
How to locate the serial number and identify your model
The bad logic boards affect many 1.25Ghz eMacs and the seldom-seen "edu-only" 1.0 ghz version with the later USB 2.0 logic board of the 1.25g. The computers affected were supposed to fall in these ranges:
G8412xxxxxx- G8520xxxxxx
YM412xxxxxx - YM520xxxxxx
VM440xxxxxx - VM516xxxxxx
If your serial number starts with "R" or "RM," then yours is a factory refurb and the above list won't help.
For security reasons, Apple doesn't want people posting there serial numbers here. Instead, simply tell us if your eMac falls in on of the affected number ranges. Then we can go from there. -

Scrollling in home screen is really slow, stalling out, why would it do this?
While I was putting apps into folders, my Ipad 2 started scrolling slowly. As I change between home pages, the animation takes a long time to complete, and even stalls out altogether, so that it is halfway between one screen and the next. I rebooted a few times, it is still doing this. It is hard to select apps to open, as the apps do not open in most cases when clicked on. If an app is opened, the app itself functions correctly, and at the proper speed. I can close to the home screen quickly, but as soon as I start trying to swip and scroll, that's when it does it slowly.
So it only really seems to be a problem with the home screen swiping animations, but I have no idea how to correct this.
I am at the point of restoring, but I wanted to see if there was a solution before I had to do this. Or at least an idea why it might happen.
I have 500 mb free on the Ipad. I tried freeing up some more space, but this doesn't seem to fix it.I had the same problem with a 3rd gen iPod running IOS 4.2.1 - when finger-swiping to slide from one home screen page to the next, it would look like it was getting part way there and then stall ... forever. If I waited long enough, and then clicked the Sleep button, the screen would go blank (as per normal), and then I could click it again and go through the wipe-to-unlock sequence (as per normal), and the home screen page that would be displayed would be the one that it looked like it didn't quite make it to when it stalled. But any scrolling from there resulted in the same thing ... but I could use the same work-around (wait, sleep, unlock). If I finally did make it into an app, all swiping and scrolling worked flawlessly within the app ... but the home screen would still freeze every time I got back to the home screen.
Neither freeing up space on the device (deleting movies), nor hard rebooting (several times), helped at all. Even Settings->General->Reset->Reset Home Screen Layout didn't help.
What finally fixed it was Settings->General->Reset->Reset All Settings. All home screen swiping and scrolling instantly became normal again. I can now move smoothly between home screen pages again !
Of course my groupings of home screen icons were lost, and I had to re-enter my WiFi password, but that's a small price to pay. So maybe that will help for your IPad as well. Just a guess, but I think that maybe one of the config files containing home screen layout & icons got corrupted, and the device stalls while having to parse it. So resetting all settings erases that config file and puts a fresh one in its place.
