Get an Website Icon on Home Screen

A while ago I could create a website icon to appear on my HomeScreen, like an App. I've since upgraded my iPhones to iOS4. Is there a way to have Website icons to appear on the HomeScreen

When at a site and you say Add to Home screen via the button to add bookmark or add to home screen option, AND IF the site coded the page with the code needed to point to an icon for the iPhone (not favicon like browsers use) then it will use the icon.

When I save a webpage to my desktop, via "drag webpage address to desktop", the website icon is replaced by a mozilla icon.

Howto remove apple icons from home screen

Hello!
How do i remove all icons from home screen (include apples default icons), and just show the application icon for the program that should be used in our warehouse?

The icons of the homescreen reflect the top line of those located on your main menu.
So, you will need a different theme that has the features you desire.

Get rid of intrusive HUGE and UGLY dark bands behind HUGE icons on Home Screen

How do I get rid of the intrusive, huge and ugly dark bands behind the huge icons, and reduce the size of the icons on the Home Screen?
On my 8320 I can use pictures of my kids for wallpaper. On the 8900 they have wasted half of the beautiful screen with these huge ugly icons and dark bands - cuts right through two of my kids eyes and two of my kids mouths and below.
What were they thinking? They advertise the 8900 (and the 8520) by emphasizing a full screen picture - but when you actulally buy the phones, they have inserted these cursed screenscape hogs. Any firmware fixes yet? Or, now that Nokia has released their E71 that not only handles email as well as my BB, but also allows me to create and edit docx, should I abandon the 8900 as a lost cause and buy the E71? And, as long as we are discussing RIM's myopic short sightedness, why no 3G on this device?
Please hurry, my buyers remorse clock is ticking and I need to send this thing back to the carrier if it can't be fixed.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, to change the size (I have six icons per row not five) go to options>advanced options>accessability and change the amount on the grid. Default 6x6, then 4x4 3x3 etc., you can also change the colours. Hope I`m not barking up the wrong tree but have bbn of help! Regards Kew

How can I get the Safari Icon back on Screen?

MY Safari icon ( IPhone 4 S)was deleted accidentally. How can I get it back ?

Safari came with the phone and cannot be deleted. It is there somewhere. Look for it on another screen or in a folder. Place finger in middle of screen and swipe down to reveal search and type in safari. Go to settings/general/reset/reset home screen layout and find safari again

I want a contact icon on home screen

Just got my first iPhone, model 5. Would like to have a Contacts icon displayed on the home screen so I can get there with one touch. I realize I can get to contacts through the phone icon but would prefer to have a straight shot to Contacts. Thanks!

You can also try going to the search screen and typing in contacts. If it is in a folder, it will display the name of the folder on the right side, as in this example. The folder name is circled in red.

Icons on home screen re-arranged all by themselves...how?

I have iOS 7.0.4 and I have been having some weird things (at least to me) happen with my iPhone 5. Couple questions: how did my icons on the home screen page get all jumbled around seems all by themselves (happened twice today)I have taken screen shots so I can compare the differences and nope I'm not going crazy..lol
Also wondering if someone has their blue tooth on and or Airdrop on can they transfer photos, files, passcodes, install spyware on a ph that has blue tooth and airdrop off??
Thank you for your help I wish I knew more how these things work :)

You may just need to reset your phone: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
No, you can't get anything "installed" over AirDrop. If your AirDrop & Bluetooth are off, no one has access to anything in your phone. Even when it's on, it asks for permission before any transfers and it's limited to file transfer only; they can't look at anything on your device.

How do I get my apps to my home screen when it's in my setting

My Facebook app is in my setting but it's not on my home screen... When I go to App Store it says it's already down loaded... How do I get it to my home screen??

Facebook is in the settings whether you have the app or not, so that's not a surprise.
Search for the app. Swipe down from the middle of the home screen to reveal the Spotlight Search at the top of the screen. Type in Facebook. The app should appear in the search. If it is hidden in a folder, that folder will be shown to the right of the app name in the search.
if it's not in a folder, just start swiping from screen to screen to look for it. You can move it to the first screen by tapping and holding down on the icon until it wiggles, then move the app to the edge of the screen - about halfway over to the next screen - and the app should jump to that screen. Tap the home button when you are done moving the app.

1.1.3 Google Mobile icon for home screen

It seems Google was ahead of the curve on this one. If you add Google Mobile to your home screen it gives you a nice crisp little Google icon. With any other site you just get a section of the page as your icon (zooming in on a logo helps). As soon as I noticed this I decided to add Apple to my home screen. Guess what, no custom icon. What gives? You'd think Apple would be the first kid on the block with a custom icon.

As for why Apple didn't (just my guess). Apple made the web clip icon show what you zoomed in on for that page. Now when they explained web clips, the mentioned a person may want a icon for the Style section of a newspaper site. Now if I created a web clip and zoomed in on the Style title, I would get a nice icon with "Style" showing. Then lets say I wanted a icon for the Sports page. I repeat but zoom in on Sports. Now I have two icons (same site) but icons look different based on my needs and what I want to see. So in short, gives the user control. Now for sites that are going to override the icon, they can if they wish but that will take away from the users customization of thier phone but will give good branding of the site.
So each has it's place. For Apple, since they made it to allow customization for the user it makes more sense (IMHO) for them to leave it up to the user rather than force an icon on them.

Editing icons on home screen

(Apologies if this is in the wrong place - I'm not sure which forum is the best place for this question.)
To move or delete the icons on the home page, I thought that you had to hold down the home screen button (the only button on the face of the phone) for a few seconds, which would make all the icons get wiggly, and then either click on the tiny X to delete the icon or drag them around the page. I swear I've done it before. But as of yesterday, it doesn't work. I hold down the button and nothing happens. Any suggestions?

To edit the icons on the home screen, tap and hold on one of the icons until they start jiggling around.
to delete an icon you added to the home screen, tap the x in the corner.
Once you are done editing the icons, press the home button.
Hope this helps.

How do I delete icons in Home Screen?

Hey guys,
My sister used my curve and when I got it back, I saw that there was a Myspace icon for the Myspace app on my home screen. The app isn't downloaded yet, but I can't seem to delete the icon from my screen (I don't want it there). For now I just have it hidden.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Go to options, advanced options, applications.
Let the table build and then check to see if you have an application for Myspace.
If you do highlight the entry and menu key, delete.
Do a battery pull and this will delete the icon.
Some apps are pre set by your carrier. On my Curve I have facebook, part of the
Verizon setup. I can delete it, but whenever I get service books it is pushed to the
phone by the carrier and the icon returns. I have created a folder for these apps and
all others I do not use. By keeping the useless apps in a folder I reduce clutter and
do not accidentally activate them.
Thanks,
Bifocals

Delete icons from home screen?

I've added a couple of safari pages to the home screen. How do I get rid of the home screen icons when I don't want them any more? Thanks,
John F

You can only delete icons that you have added yourself, the Apple Apps are not removable.
To delete icon touch and hold your finger on any icon until all the icons start to wiggle on the screen.
The icons that can be deleted will have an X in the corner, touch the X to delete the icon.
You can also rearrange the icons by dragging them around while they are wiggling.
Once you are finished press the home button the lock them in position.

Moving icons on home screen

This may sound stupid but how do I get the icons on the home screen running down the side instead of along the bottom and make them slightly smaller?

You can move icons around on the home screen, the same way you did before. However, depending on how many you have on the screen as to how it will affect the position of other icons. You hold down on the icon until it starts to jiggle and then move the icon as necessary. Tap the home button to turn the jiggle off and set the location.

E72- Unknown icon on home screen

Unknown icon stays on my E72 home screen bottom right corner that looks like trash can with yellow envelope. Does Anyone know what that means?

To be quite honest i'm almost certain that my GF has hacked my iphone.
She knows multiple conversations i've had with people. I know this for a fact.
Now i've done lots of research on the matter and i can't seem to find a conclusive answer.
Lots of websites say that unless it's jailbroken it's impossible to hack an iphone and some other websites say it's possible.
She obviously won't say how she did it. From my understanding though she can see everything i do on my phone.
And no she doesn't have my icould password. I've changed it multiple times as well as the security questions.
So i was thinking that this icon might have something to do with it but i don't know...
