N8 Problem: Cannot add shortcuts to home screen

Hi, has anyone experienced this problem before? When I try adding any shortcut to the home screen, it shows a "running circle" icon on the home screen. Looks like it's loading, but it's just like that forever. This happens to all available shortcuts and most of the widgets except for Clocks and Map Apps.
My phone is updated to the latest Belle.
Thanks for your inputs.
Theo.

Hi RWD2,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
To resolve your issue with Facetime freezing when you end a call, I would try the first three steps in the article below.

Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If you are using Wi-Fi, it may be helpful to try these troubleshooting steps as well:

Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

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 ....

How to add a shortcut to home screen of iphone 5s

I would like to add a shortcut to my home screen. Specifically, I would like a shortcut to my voicemail and a shortcut to call my guy.

You can't add a shortcut to a function within an app (voicemail is part of the Phone app). There are 3rd party apps that can call specific phone numbers, however. Search the app store. You can also add shortcuts to web pages.
Have you added the numbers you call frequently to the Favorites page in the phone app? With that you can call a number with 3 taps (Phone, Favorites, Name). And voicemail is only 2 taps (Phone, Voicemail).

Add Tasks to Home Screen

I am using the BB Dimension Today theme with Messages, Calendar, Call log, and Applications on the screen. As applications are quick to reach with the application key, I would like to remove Applications from my home screen and add Tasks. Is this possible?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
I apparently have a rather large buffer today.
It took me this long to realize that the BB dimension Today screen icons cannot be reordered.
I am sorry to have misled you, unintentional as it was.

IPad first gen Calendar will not show month view for March. When you go feb to march the pad goes back to the home screen. Apr etc are all there. March seems to have some problem always going to the home screen. How can I fix this

I am haveing trouble with the calandar view on an iPad first gen. the month of March will not display , no matter how it is asked for the device drops out of calandar and defaults to the home screen. all other months display. Any fix suggestions welcome.

Try removing any all-day events from the calendar for the 1st April 2013 e.g. if you are syncing the calendar from somewhere else (e.g. Outlook on a PC or iCal/Calendar on a Mac) then change it to a timed event instead of all-day (if you don't sync your calendar from anywhere then try going into list view, go to 1st April and change any 'all day' events to times e.g. change Easter Monday to start at something like 4am) - it seems that there is a problem with all day events on that date which is when the clocks change due to daylight saving on the day before.

Can't add page to Home screen because an error occurred

I finally had a moment to upgrade to 1.1.3, and everything works great, except for web clips, which is the one thing I really wanted to do! I go to a web page, click the plus sign, and choose "Add to Home Screen". It shows the icon for the page and lets me change the name. Then when I click "add", I get the following error message:
"Could not add this page to the Home screen because an error occurred."
This happens so far on any site I try it on, whether or not the site has a pre-made iPhone icon. I have already tried restoring my phone with no luck. Anyone know what's going on?

Thanks for the tips. I tried all that with no luck. I then proceeded to erase all settings. No luck there. I decided to go extreme, and delete all content and settings. Still doesn't work!
This seems like such a dumb thing, but it's still happening after two restores, clearing cache, resetting settings, and erasing all data! The only other thing I can think would be to restore the iPhone without bringing info from backup, but that would mean re-entering EVERYTHING. I'll try it I suppose, unless someone else knows a way around this.

3 problems With: Accelometer, Safari, And Home Screen Sliding, Update??

Hey Guys, i just got a 16GB iPhone today, and i noticed that sliding from one home screen to the other is like 1/8 slower than other iphones i tried, its a small fraction, but i want to enjoy my iphone to the fullest.
The second problem is concerning the accelometer, sometimes it takes about 10 seconds for it to change landscapes, and when it actually works right, its moves not in the same smooth way ive tried on other iphones too.
The final problem is concerning safari browser, whenever i have 3 pages or more, sometimes it closes by its own, and there's that accelometer problem again, screen changes differently every time.
I absloutly love it, no doubt about that, but i really want to enjoy it to the fullest, without any problems, so what do you think guys, should i update to 1.1.4, or is it all in my head??
Thanks for any help you give
Godfather

Thanks for the info Kevin, next time I reset I will clear the cache too and see if it works better for me than just the reset.
Also to the OP. Like Kevin said, the iphone must be nearly totally vertical for the accelerometer to register the change quickly. I was just testing and if I was holding the phone on a slant towards being horizontal and then rotate into landscape it takes several seconds to rotate. If I hold it vertical and then rotate its nearly instant. If you lay down on a table and then rotate it doesn't move at all.
I'm not sure why your settings screen would be lagging. Make sure your finger movements are smooth I suppose. And also safari will lag in doing anything while it is actively loading data from the net.
Edit - with further investigation it looks like it needs to be no more than at a 45 degree angel from vertical position for the accelerometer to pick up the change in orientation.

5800 Shortcuts Bar home screen shows no calendar i...

Hi,
My 5800's shortcuts home screen suddenly stopped displaying calender items. It used to show till yesterday when I downloaded the latest nokia PC suite and tried to sync my PC with 5800 via bluetooth. I even tried to get factory seetings. But it is asking for a lock code and I have no idea what it means. Any help is more than welcome..

Ok, this is how I solved it:
Back-up (I backed up to my memory card, I back up automatically at 4 am). After I did that, transferred al pictures and videos to my pc through USB.
And a hard reset (*#7370# if I recall correct). After that I recovered what I backed-up, and that's it! It was fixed, still had my apps etc.
Not the perfect solution, but it works.

Email problem-cannot add new account,IMAP not responding

My emails were working good on my ipad3, but all of sudden it stopped to receive emails, just kept loading. I have two accounts: gmail and yahoo. Neither of them are working. I deleted both account and tried to add back in. But I got the error message said "cannot connect with SSL, would you like to try without SSL?" I chose yes and it said " IMAP is not responding. Check your Internet connection and that you enterred the right information in the incoming mail server"
I searched on the Internet and found out many people are having this problem, I tried all kinds of solutions including shutting down the iPad, verify gmail setting, Check outgoing mail server... But none of those worked for neither of the two email accounts, and I still cannot add any email account on my iPad.
Can someone help me with this please? It's so frustrated :(

Nvm, it works now

Bookmarks as a shortcut on home screen

I have set Bookmarked links as shortcuts on one of my N8 home screens and they display just as WWW globe icons. Is there any way for them to display the text of what the link is, eg BBC News or National Rail etc.

There are several other apps in the app store that do this as well.

ToDo shortcut on Home Screen

i am a big fan of todo lists
and i just got my new n79. I was dissapointed to see that i couldn't get a shortcut for the nokia todo app on my home screen. is there a way to do that?

If you use active standby you should have the to-do displayed along with the calendar entries. Though if your phone has the same os as my n85 it is a little disappointing in that the to-do list is nor incorporated with calendar entries as one short-cut rather than 2 short-cuts on the standby screen as was the case withthe n95. Also the to-do list now shows the individual entries on display, not clever in my opinion as i dont want the world to know my private information.

Delete web shortcuts on home screen

How do i delete web shortcuts that i have put on my home screen. Went in to itunes and moved the shortcut into the trash, but after syncing it still appears on the home screen.

* Tap the shortcut and hold your finger on the screen until the icons start to shake.
* Tap the "X" icon on the shortcut.
* Confirm that you want to delete the shortcut.
* When the shortcut is gone, tap the iPhone’s home button to stop the icons shaking.
