Request - please disable home screen by default - ...

A simple request -
to receive the phone as new with Home Screen DISABLED
home screen is this thing 
or something like this
it makes the whole thing very cluttered - and whilst it may look like a feature and provide an extra selling point for marketing (which is why i'm guessing it's pushed forward) - it really decreases the phone's simplicity and usability.
please do consider this.  I know you can remove it, but if you reset all the phones settings, it comes back.

I Looked in on it and found it Ann in the setting: It's Auto-add short Cuts i Un-checked it on Mine.. thanks..
  N.D U Go into you Settings in the Market an Un check Auto-add Short Cuts you'll be Good as Gold..

  • Disable Home Screen Lock

    How do I Disable the home screen lock on my Touch 9800? In the Security settings > Password the lock icon is Enabled and can not be disabled! The only options are lock after 1, 2, 5, or 10 minutes. Is there a way to disable the lock feature?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    If you are on BES, it may be forced by your BES Admins...you'd need to talk to them to see about changing it.
    If you have activated Encryption/Content Protection, then the password is required to support that. You'd have to disable that in order to be allowed to also disable the password.
    Good luck and let us know!

    Brand new 24" imac purchased yesterday from the apple store with a 4 gig ram upgrade (i.e. all the newest stuff/versions). All updates installed & current.
    Brand new (clean & scratchless) copy of Windows XP Home with SP2.
    I ran the bootcamp assistant and made a 20 gig windows parition (so its under the 32 gig limit of fat32).
    Following the installation procedure the windows disk is inserted, the machine reboots and then it just sits there with a black screen and a blinking cursor. The CD drive stops spinning and no progress from that point forward.
    I then read on here some had better lucky with a "copy" of the original windows disk so I duplicated it in this Mac (i.e. burned with its own drive) but exactly the same problem with the burned copy (which also opens fine from within OSX).
    I'm at a loss... where to go from here?
    Welcome to the Apple forums:
    Be sure your XP disk had SP2 embedded into XP, and not a separate file or patch.
    Also be sure your disk is not an ISO image but a real disk, with files on it. You can look at them using your Mac. Insert the CD or DVD and doubleclick the disk icon.
    You should see most or all of the following files and folders:
    (HOMEWITHSP2)
    AUTORUN.INF
    DOCS
    DOTNETFX
    I386
    README.HTM
    SETUP.EXE
    SETUPXP.HTM
    SUPPORT
    VALUEADD
    WIN51
    WIN51IC
    WIN51IC.SP2
    When you copied the disk, did you make sure your copy was Windows readable? Mac has several formats, one of which is Mac-only for data CDs. You need to select the universal mode, Mac and Windows for the data image and when burning the image.
    Also be sure you selected to close or finalize the CD after burning or it cannot be read by Windows.

  • IOS 5.1 Disables Home Screen Settings Shortcuts

    http://www.idownloadblog.com/2011/11/29/iphone-5-1-disables-shortcuts/#disqus_th read
    Well this truly *****.  I was thinking about not jailbreaking now that I have an SBSettings-like shortcut, but if these are disabled, I will be jailbreaking for sure. 

    I talked to Apple today and was told that it's a "hardware issue" and they will not fix it. I will have to pay 169.00 to have it repaired because it is no longer covered. He told me that "the software update triggered a hardware problem" and that they haven't heard of this issue before either and this was after he went and "spoke with a senior service advisor". The thing is that if THEIR software update triggered the "hardware problem" meaning that if I hadn't updated at all my phone would be in perfect working order right now then HOW IS THAT NOT A SOFTWARE ISSUE?! I am beyond livid. I cannot continue using my phone with assistive touch, NOTHING else works and I know this isn't the first time they've heard of it because how can so many people be having this problem and Apple NOT be aware of it?!  My family has bought three MacBooks, three MacBook Pros, one iPad, two iPad 2s, seven iPhone 3s, one iPhone 3GS, five iPhone 4s, two iPhone 4S, four Apple TVs, one Time Capsule and COUNTLESS versions of iPods and have never had an issue having any of them repaired and only four of those products had to be and it was a fast and hassle free...then again they all were covered still at the time of repair...
    How do you restore to a previous firmware? I don't want a new phone...I want MY phone to work...the one that worked perfectly before their update....this is beyond ridiculous...I wish apple would take a look at their own support communities and see that this ISN'T our problem...it's a problem created by THEM.

  • Home screen icons are missing

    I have a Curve 8310 running v4.5 OS. 
    I was hiding\rearranging some of the icons\folders on the home screen, and suddenly all the icons were missing.  Pressing the <menu> button does absolutely nothing from the home screen.  I have tried pulling the battery - no luck.
    I can use <alt> <esc> to get to some applications, but not to Options or Setup.
    Any idea how to get the icons back or reset the home screen to default?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try getting to your options by setting your Call Log (press the green dial key) > Menu > Options > General Options > Dial from Homescreen = OFF.
    Now, on the homescreen, press the O (oh key, not the zero) for Options. 
    Go to themes and change themes. 
    Do you see your apps and icons now?

  • I can't change my iPad Mini home screen wallpaper at all, not even a default. I can't change my lock screen either. Help! I'd rather not waste my time bothering with computer programs so please give me a SIMPLE solution if you can.

    How do I change my seemingly unfixable iPad Mini Home Screen and Lock Screen wallpapers?

    I tried that and that is what initially started this. I wanted a new wallpaper for my home screen and it didn't work so I reset it. The wallpaper is now zoomed in, I can't zoom it back out, and I can't change it to the new one I want. Plus, recently I had reset it and it stayed at the Appe logo and didn't move and I got scared that I'd never be able to use it again, I tried random things and it turned on again. I think I was just lucky so I don't want it to happen again. And yes I did look up how to fix it but it was really complicated so I just did what I mentioned.

  • Delivery Address coming as a default in the home screen for creating a SHC

    Dear Experts
    I have done some changes in the delivery address and while saving it was asking to maintain as a default address otherwise it was not able to save the changes I made.So I maintained it as a default and saved the changes.
    Now the issue is when we are in the home screen for creating a SHC this delivery address is coming as default.As we dont want this dekivery address to be default on  the screen and the requirement is that user should be able to search the delivery address.
    So we dont want that defaulted address.The other reasons were also checked and no where in the attributes we ahave maintained this default delivery adress.
    Can you please help us how can we remove this defaulted delivery addres in the SHC creation screen.
    Thanks and Regards
    Vikas

    HI Muthu
    Thanks for the reply.
    I again repeat I think you have not understood my question.These are very basic things you are mentioning about how to change the delivery address.i know all about this and in my query I have clearly asked that during the change option its asking to maintain the default delivery address and even if I dont select it my changes wont be saved.Second is even if I maintain another delivery address only then from the first delivery address the default screen will be unticked.
    Because the issue here is that what ever the delivery address is maintained its defaulting in the shop screen for the creation of the SHC.
    So my reequirement is how to set this.I have checked attributes and nowhere this delivery address has been maintained.
    Brief about Issue:
    We have done some changes in the delivery address (Transaction Edit
    internal addresses in the URL screen)and during the save it was asking
    us to maintain it as a default address without which it was not able to
    save.So after saving on the creation of the shopping cart screen this
    delivery address is coming as a default value.
    We dont want this to be defaulted and the user should have the search
    functionality for the delivery address.This problem is happening for
    the org id for which I have done the changes.When i assign my user id
    to the other org id the defaulted delivery address is not shown on the
    shopping cart creation home screen.
    We have checked in the attributes of the user and the org id and
    nowhere this delivery address has been maintained.
    I have checked the settings for the other org id for which it was not
    showing as defaulted on the shopping cart creation screen and compared
    these two and was not able to find any difference.Could you plase let
    us know the problem in this case.
    Regards
    Vikas

    i think itunes  has removed my iphone software. because now not showing home screen. when i tried to restore my phone there generated an error no is 1015. please help me how can i recover my iphone again?

    From the article which you posted your question from:
    Errors related to downgrading iOS
    The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed.   Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

  • TS3219 When on iTunes on my first generation iPad it defaults back to the home screen with no warning

    When trying to view the film category in iTunes my iPad defaults back to the home screen so I can't buy a film or even view products. Why is this happening ? Is there anything I can do?? My iPad is using iOS 5 and it is upto date as it is a first generation iPad. Please help!!!
    Thanks

    This is most often the result of iOS closing apps when it experiences a low-memory situation. The original iPad has very limited RAM by todays standards for Apps. If you have apps open, be sure to close them to preserve your RAM for apps you actually want running.
    To do so, double-tap the home button, then press and hold an app icon until they start to shake. You can close apps in the multi-tasking tab by tapping the little circle that appears.Be sure you don't do this on the main home screens because tapping the X will delete apps from your device rather than close them.

  • My ipad is stuck on the apple logo and wont return to the home screen. I plugged it into my itunes but I don't know what to do from there. Can someone please help?

    Hi, I'm having trouble with my Ipad 2. I was recently playing a game and my ipad just shut off on me. Then when I turned it back on it was stuck on the Apple Logo and it won't go to the home screen at all. I plugged it in my itunes but I don't know what to do from there. I left it charged hoping the apple logo would dissappear but it didn't and now for some reason the battery is always dead.  I really need help. Does anybody have any suggestions? Please.

    Did you try rebooting the iPad? You will need to have some battery power for this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    Restore the phone as a new device. There is probably something that was corrupted on your phone during the update and has been passed via the backup to the replacement phone.  If the corruption/problem is contained in the backup, you'll need to re-sync your data, and re-install your apps manually. Restoring the backup again will only bring the problem back with it.
    If restoring it as new does not fix it, then make an appointment at the genius bar.
