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.

  • 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!

  • How do I open a folder on my desktop and avoid getting the left hand column with devices shared, etc and the other column with my desktop lists?

    I just want to see the contents of the folder not all the other columns!

    Finder->View-Hide Sidebar (⌘⌥ S). Once set, ⌘J and select Use as Defaults. That'll ensure all newly opened windows have that setting.

  • Search Tab Goes Missing from the Left-hand Menu

    Hi, I am using Spotify version 3.1.0.1117 in my trusty Toshiba Thrive (AT100) that runs Android version 4.0.4. I think it has just updated to the latest Spotify version and I notice that after initialising, the Search tab would go missing from the left-hand menu after browsing my playlists and not come back. The tab lists would start from Browse, and so on. Anybody else having similar problem? Any help is kindly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    The triangle next to the main Playlists folder is pointing down.
    I set up a subfolder for a few streaming radio stations. The missing (and non-missing) playlists have not been put into a subfolder. They are all smart playlists (I don't know if that makes a difference).
    I have the latest Itunes. Should I try re-installing?

  • Yellow line on the left hand side of my screen iphone 4 after 18 months why has this occured whats the soloution?

    I have had my iphone 4 for 18 months on contract..I have had no problems at all up until the begining of this month.   The first issue was that the home button, double click issue wasn't working too well.  I read that their was a way to calibrate the button which I had done ( please note this does not include opening up the phone) and I noticed that it works much better.  However lately I have noticed that I have a yellow tint, line vertical on the left hand side of the screen.   It is very faint when I wake my phone but then gets darker and darker. 
    I have read that people have noticed this on buying their new iphones however mines has just appeared.  my contract is up in 6 months so I'm not keen on spending extra on the phone is there anything else I can do?

    Try the basics from the manual.  Restart, reset, restore.

  • How do I move my tabs back to the left hand side of the screen?

    Until today, all of my open tabs have appeared in a top to bottom column running down the left hand side of my screen, which works great.
    When I logged in a few minutes ago, the tabs appeared for the first time in a horizontal row running across the bottom of the screen. I would like to reposition the tabs list to its original orientation and location. How do I do that?

    That is not a built-in option in Firefox, you must have an add-on that has added that capability. There are several add-ons that can move the tab bar, check your installed add-ons to see if one of them has that option.

  • What happened to the ability to open your bookmarks on the left hand side of the screen and scroll thru them like on IE?

    In older versions of firefox, I could open the bookmarks on the left hand side of the screen, and they would stay open when i clicked on one of them, and i could use it to open multiple tabs. How do i do that in Firefox 5? I do not like the bookmark toolbar.

    *It is still there use keyboard '''Ctrl + B''' (in Windows)
    The bookmarks toolbar no longer displays by default & they seem to be encouraging use of the bookmarks button or bookmarks menu. The bookmarks sidebar is still available if you know the shortcut as above. There is also the bookmarks library, now under show all bookmarks, rather than organise/organize bookmarks. ( Also it is possible with a simple chrome command in the location bar to open the library as a tab enter
    *chrome://browser/content/places/places.xul )
    If this does answer your question; please mark the answer as helpful, and ensure you are '''logged in''' when you do that. That will mark the thread as solved and help others looking for the solution. <br/>

  • Why is the left hand window and bar with the buttons for TOC/Search/Glossary not displaying in one client location?

    Greetings all:
    I have more years of experience with RoboHelp than I want to admit, but I have never run into this before. I have a published RoboHelp 9 project for an overseas client that displays exactly as it should when the published version is viewed by myself or another RoboHelp developer (not located where I am). However; the users at 1 of 2 two client sites do not see the left hand TOC window or the bar above the project with the buttons (the other site does see it). The users at both sites are using Internet Explorer 9, and I have been told there is no difference in their security set-up. I suspect that at the site where it is not displaying there is a security setting that is throwing it off, but I am not sure what to have them look for. Anyone have any ideas?
    W. Keith

    Do they not simply see the bar or is it empty? In the first situation, it seems they are opening the topic directly instead of via the start file.
    What is the URL the users are using on both the locations? And do the users have a hyperlink 'Show' at the top of the topics?
    Kind regards,
    Willam

  • I repaired a cracked iphone 5c screen now I have a black screen with a vertical blue line on the left hand side of the screen. please help!!

    Hi all,
    Please help, I repaired an iphone 5c and have now tried two different lcd screens on it but all I get is a black screen or a black screen with a vertical blue line on the left hand side of the screen. I definitely have the cables connected properly etc and before I repaired it the phone had a cracked screen and there was a picture on it.
    I have tried hard reset and nothing. I have tried connecting to iTunes but it asks me to confirm on the iPhone which I can't do as there is nothing on the display.  I have tried randomly pressing all over the screen but it doesn't work. So I can't even try restoring it on iTunes.
    Please help any advice will be appreciated! I successfully have repaired iphone 4's and iphone 5 before but this is the first iphone 5c.
    Thanks.

    Since you were successful the last two times, I'm sure you will figure it out.

  • When I was typing an email on my iPad, I hit something (???) on the screen which made the paragraph turn blue with a vertical line  being added  down the left hand boundary  of the paragraph ! How do I get it to revert to being black type with no line ?

    When I was typing an email on my iPad, I hit some part of the screen (not sure which part !)which made the type in the paragraph I was writing turn blue, and a vertical line appeared down the left hand boundary of the paragraph ! How do I get rid of the blue type and blue vertical line ?

    A single tap of the blue does nothing ! A double tap offers copy, define, select all.

  • HT1386 I just got an iphone 4 and when I go to sync it, it appears in the left hand column but when I click on it there is just a blank screen with the apply logo and a tiny lock.

    I just got an iphone 4 and when I go to sync it, it appears in the left hand column but when I click on it there is just a blank screen with the apply logo and a tiny lock.

    OK, I think I fixed it.
    After trying to restore with an old backup from the phone (it estimated it would take 4 hours) I cancelled and went through the setup menus again, but set it up as a new phone. It then appeared in iTunes and I restored it from the computer, not the phone. It appears to be working, it's syncing my old apps right now.
    Summary:
    1. Reset settings on phone (hopefully you backed up fairly recently)
    2. Set up as NEW iPhone in setup menu on phone
    3. Restore from iTunes on computer when it recognizes the phone
    4. Cross fingers

  • Apple Watch does it make provisions for left-handers? either a mirror image version, or the ability to rotate the display 180º allowing it to be worn on the right wrist and controlled with the left hand?

    Does the apple Watch accommodate left-handed people? is there a mirror image option, or can the display be rotated 180º, allowing the watch to be worn on the right wrist, and manipulated with the left hand? Just wondering if you have thought about that?
    Thanks,
    Rick
    PS: none of the "communities " accessible to me seemed appropriate for this question, so I am posting here, hoping someone will forward it on to the proper place in Apple.

    There's a option when setting up the watch to set it up for left handed users. That and the easily user revisable straps will accommodate lefties.
