How about multi selecting (like if you wanted to delete multiple emails), or clearing a text field (like the back button on a berry does)? Anyone figured those out?

Did you try a longpress? It works for clearing out multiple texts.

I can't figure out how to change the default action for contacting people in my HTC People Widget. When I go into my favorites...and long press the person it says "Change Default Action"...so I click on that...but the only option it gives me is: "call other". There is no option for SMS, or EMAIL...or anything else...

can anyone help??

i -- don't -- know!

that ticks me off, too!


also.. choosing whether txt msgs go out via GVoice or the phones stock msg app - can't UNdefault that either

Gmail app (cuz thats the only one i use) has check boxes on the left to select multiple emails.. and in messaging app (not selecting any thread) if u press menu and then press delete it will give u "x" boxes to select each thread on the right..

or is it not what u meant?

i haven't figured outhow to change the order in the HTC favorites widget

the big full-page one - the list-view (i like the smaller icons - i don't like the "large" icon view)



i've sorted them in the main favorites app (go into browser - menu - bookmarks - sort by)

i've tried all three options - doesn't change in the widget

The last one is by far my favorite. There are times I just dont want to mess with the slide part to get to my phone. This skips right over that. Of course there are times when I want to see my lock screen, and who could blame me.

yyyyyyyyyea. I *think* I'm gonna need you to send me your wallpaper.

not mine - its in the order they were added

Anytime. Just PM your addy. I'll warn you though, its fairly large pic. Worth every bit of it though.

not in this case - long tap on the widget just let's you remove it - no options

Not quite what I was hoping for but it works, thanks

Haha I'm a ****. I didn't even notice the check boxes In gmail.

Thanks

Yeah what he said. I know you have to have IMAP enabled which I do, but it still doesn't work.

Did you diable POP? If you have both POP and IMAP enable, maybe POP is the default.

When you're looking at your messages in the email app, just click on Menu and then choose delete. Once you have selected delete, the boxes that allow you to select multiple emails will appear. At this point, you can hit menu again and it will let you select all.

hope that helps

Ok, first off. Hello all! I was wondering if someone can try this out for me and post results.

I installed a Facebook, didn't like it and deleted it. Then I installed a second Facebook app which I like and am now using.

Here comes the issue. I go into my photo Albums and pick a picture to share. In my menu list I get FACEBOOK, FACEBOOK, FLICKR, GMAIL, etc...

How do I edit the menu to remove the dupe Facebook?

Thanks ALL!

I can't figure out how to configure the phone to connect with my wife's work email. They use Novell GroupWise 7.0. She typically remote logs in through a web app, which will load, but the formatting is beyond usable.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Would it be possible to disable the lock screen entirely and just use the pattern screen? I want to use the pattern screen and it seems superfluous to use both.

Also, how are some people taking very clear screenshots of their phone screens (such as the Supergirl lock screen a few posts back)?

You can always just bypass the slide screen by pressing Menu > Menu. Thats the fastest way into the phone that I know.

Also I don't know if this is really a trick or not, but I've found that Settings > Applications > Development > Stay Awake is really nice when you want to spend a few hours playing around with the phone.

You have the phone number under something other than Mobile. You cant send a SMS message to a house or work phone so it just doesnt give you the option to try to. Email obviously you need to have there email address in there and so on..
