Home screen shortcut for speed dial

You know, in the end this is a phone and when i want to place a call it will be in a speed dail mode
and i like to manage the speed dial in groups/folders but i have no way to do this in this phone without buying an app..
how lame is this phone no to support outof the box creating a shortcuts for "direct call" of a person and then i could group them in a floder like i want ...
this phone OS is lame .. very remind me the iPhone that also don't have this only Android understand the usage of a PHONE!!!!

There is speed dial built into the device OS.
If you need to create an app I suggest we move this thread to our developer section of this forum.
If you simply need to convert apk files: http://www.google.com/url?q=http://apps.goodereader.com/apk-2-bar/&sa=U&ei=xkkbUtSMBNKE2gWyyoEg&ved=...

Instructions to create custom home screen icons for websites and phone #'s

Here are instructions to create a home screen icon for a phone number or a website. This is very cool!
1. Go to http://webclip.us on your computer (not on your phone) and click on "create now".
2. In icon label, type what you want to call your icon.
3. In URL, type either the URL of the website you want to link to, or for a phone number link, type http://##########.tel.QLNK.net (where ########## is the 10 digit phone number you want).
4. In icon file, click the arrow to browse to the photo or image you want the icon to display.
5. Enter the security code shown, then click "upload now". You will get a "webclip number".
6. Now on your iPhone in Safari, go to http://webclip.us and enter the webclip number your computer just generated, and tap Go.
7. Use the plus sign to add the icon to your home screen, change the name to whatever you want, and you will have a cool little icon with the photo you uploaded!
If you used the phone number option, when you tap the icon on your home page, it will launch Safari and then pop up "Call" and "Cancel" buttons to call that phone number directly. If you used a website URL, it will launch that website just like a regular webclip.
So I now have an icon with my husband's face on it that dials his phone number. Very cool!!

Edit to make it clear that I don't take credit for creating this procedure - I simply found a reference to them in another post and posted the step-by-step here because it worked so well for me.

Do you know if this requires the 1.1.3 upgrade.. I got all the way through it until the end where it would not give me a plus sign or a way to add it.. wondering if it can be done with 1.1.2 thanks!

Is the left-hand Home screen reserved for TV and movies?

As familiar as I thought I was with Android (via my phones) I thought I would've figure out by now how to get this screen back for other uses. But so far no luck. Is 1//3 of my available Home screen space really reserved for TV and Movies (and, at that, apparently only the ones downloaded from Google Play)?

Ann154,
Bingo! You were absolutely right! And now that widget is gone.
Unfortunately, so is the screen it was occupying. Now, instead of three screens I have but two - - the original center screen and the one that had previously been the right-hand screen.
Which prompts the question of how and where pages are added or deleted from the home screens.

Can we change the Home screen Background for iPhone 5C

Can we change the Home screen Background for iPhone 5C

I would assume that the home screen image and the lock screen image would be changed 100% the same way all other iphones change them in the settings

Problem with home screen shortcuts

this has ocurred several times. I am in the messaging application, click to update mailbox and while it is trying to update the email application crashes and closes completely. I am returned to the home screen but now the shortcut I had for my email account inbox is gone, replaced by a shortcut to the music store. I had to manually fix this several times but then I discovered that just leaving it after a while the correct icon would reappear.

The advice above may well be correct (depending on the phone you are using which you didn't mention )However if you follow it, I would advise backing up Contacts, Calendar and Notes ONLY, as if you backup your settings and restore them it could re-install the problem ! Also somewhat easier to dial *#7370# followed by 12345, but the choice is yours and it will take a while to set up your phone again (assuming you have an S60v5 phone, 5800, N97, X6 etc)
Good Luck

Home screen shortcut buttons

can you change the home screen buttons on the bottom? It has phone, contacts, messaging, and apps? also, can you change the search default provider?

If the buttons are setup like most devices you can drag any shortcut to replace a icon on launcher but the app button for the start menu..
As for the defailt search provider, you can install other ones like google but you wont be able to change the default search engine... But you can place google widget on a home page and clock it to search and it should search Google instead of Bing..

Custom home screen icon for a webapp.. just like Google - How?

I noticed that when you add Google to your home screen it displays a custom icon.. not an image of the website like other sites. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to do this for my own webapps. I searched through the Google.com source code but didn't find anything that appeared to have anything to do with that icon.
Hopefully this is possible for developers. Right now most of my icons are all white and its hard to distinguish which is which without reading the text below it.

Found it on the iPhone web dev page..
iPhone and iPod touch allow a user to save a WebClip bookmark to your site on their Home Screen.
To specify a bookmark icon for all pages of a web site, place a PNG image named "apple-touch-icon.png" at the root directory of your web server - similar to the "favicon.ico" for site icons.
To override the site bookmark icon on a specific web page, insert a <link> element similar to <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/customIcon.png"/> within the <head> element of the page.
The bookmark icon dimensions should be 57x57 pixels. If the icon is a different size it will be scaled and cropped to fit.
Safari will automatically composite the icon with the standard "glassy" overlay so it looks like a built-in iPhone or iPod application.

How do I backup home screen shortcuts

I have a lot of home screen web shortcuts in IOS 7 and I want to back them up so that when I restore to a new device, I have all my collected shortcuts. How can I do this?

According to this support article, an iCloud backup should back up your Settings and your Home Screen and App organization. I do not have web shortcuts on my Home Screen so cannot absolutely guarantee that they would be restored via a backup, but the article implies that it will:

Directory for Speed Dial entries

Entered 20 speed dial numbers. Where do I find the directory for those entered.
With 100 possibilities surely there must be a way.

I have not heard of a way to view the list. I poured over different support documents and found nothing addressing that either. Just how to create entries and how to dial using it. This is a great suggestion though! This would be a perfect candidate for the Verizon Idea Exchange. Please search on the idea exchange and cast your vote. There may be another member who made the same suggestion. If not, please add a new idea so your fellow community members can comment and vote on your suggestion. http://forums.verizon.com/t5/Verizon-Idea-Exchange/ct-p/ideaexchange .

How to create a custom home screen icon for your website and where to upload it

I created a joomla 3 site used Icon Slate to size icon but know where to upload the icons. Right now when a user goes to "Add to Home Screen" It just uses a copy of the page they are on.

How i can recover my home screen password for my iphone

I have an Iphone 4 for my daughter and it is locked and dont remember the password to get in. Can someone help me please?

If you forgot your passcode, restore the phone from backup on the last computer it was synced with... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

Speed Dial on Home Screen

This is a question/suggestion I think. I don't believe there is any current way to put contacts on the home screen as a speed dial button, if I am wrong, please correct me with instructions on how to do so. If I am right, however, I think a nice feature Apple should consider in putting in a future software update for iPhone would be to make contacts available as speed dial buttons on the home screen.

Follow these instructions to put a custom icon on the home screen. It's not speed dial exactly, but it's fun.
1. Go to http://webclip.us on your computer (not on your phone) and click on "create now".
2. In icon label, type what you want to call your icon.
3. In URL, type either the URL of the website you want to link to, or for a phone number link, type http://##########.tel.QLNK.net (where ########## is the 10 digit phone number you want). You must enter the http:// - it won't work otherwise.
4. In "icon file", click the arrow to browse to the photo or image on your computer that you want the icon to display.
5. Enter the security code shown, then click "upload now". You will get a "webclip number".
6. Now on your iPhone in Safari, go to http://webclip.us and enter the webclip number your computer just generated, and tap Go.
7. Use the plus sign to add the icon to your home screen, change the name to whatever you want, and you will have a cool little icon with the photo you uploaded!
If you used the phone number option, when you tap the icon on your home page, it will launch Safari and then pop up "Call" and "Cancel" buttons to call that phone number directly. If you used a website URL, it will launch that website just like a regular webclip.
So I now have an icon with a picture of my husband's face on it that dials his phone number. Very cool!!

E72 Application shortcuts and home screen applicat...

Hey guys,
I`ve got a weird issue on my E72.
Whichever theme I use,the application shortcuts and home screen shortcuts(wifi search,calendar,chatsetup...etc) are keep highlighted
on homescreen.
I installed ovi store update and polar lotus screensaver from ovi store yesterday.
Since then my theme has changed and the two type of the shortcuts on my homescreen
remain highlighted,whatever I do with them.
I uninstalled the polar lotus scrsv.
I tried all of my themes and default ones,but same everywhere.
I use a black and blue(neon) blue theme.
It used to look like full black screen and blue icons,the name of the apps,and shortcuts also written by blue.
Now the apps shortcuts on the top and also the home screen apps are highlighted with light brown.
I guess the polar lotus scrsv has left some files or configurations after itself,and keeps effecting
the display or themes.
I tried to uninstall and install again all of the themes,but still no luck.
Has anyone experienced something like this before?
Any idea to get back the normal lookout of the themes wtihout highlighting anything(unless the theme contains highlighting functions)?
Thank you

Could you guys try this blue and black theme by Mr Jorik, to check you also got light brown highlighted app.shortcuts on homescreen,or yours full black screen nothing highlighted?!
I can give download link for the theme.
Please someone help ....

Problem issue dialing from home screen

When I am on my home screen and want to dial a number, that isn't in my contacts, I have to enter the first number twice. Example: when I hit 6, it goes to the search page and lists all contacts under F, but when I continue dialing, it completely omits the 6. Hence, why I have to enter the first number twice.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. bdja
Solved!

After another search on my BB, I found out that it was an app causing my issue. Thank you
