Multi-select? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On stock android, you can press and hold in the gallery to select multiple items and send via e-mail, etc. This doesn't work on the MT4g. Any way to do it?

Great question. I would love to know too.

after opening the gallery, and choosing an 'album' - should see the tiled thumbnails by default.. hit the soft share key (2nd to left) - choose your method of sharing.. then you can check as many thumbnailed pics as you want...

Ah, so you have to select the action first. I hope we can get the stock gallery ported over here soon. It's really nicely done compared to this one I think.

HTC Legend tip

I found out, that you can add the older android version sites to the phone without rooting it..(maybe some of you already know this)
okej.. so go to:
settings/application(s)/manage applications/then you get to a list of applications, find htc sense and click it/ then click on clear default, then click on the home buttom, and you should be able to choose home or htc sense.. click on use by default for this action, and then choose the one you want to use as normal..

tried the Home and other main screen apps but HTC sense is king for now
(is just installed home via APK and i could switch with the home button long press)
Didn't know that. Thanks.

can't change stock message icon

I'm not running a rooted ROM
whenever I try and change it, it simply changes back
anyone got a fix?
Umm yeah that's kinda the whole point in rooting the phone and running a rooted ROM so when you change things they stick.

Which stock message are you talking about?? The one in your email sig?

Yes, you have to learn how to walk before you can run.

Did you do "part 2" of rooting?

I know ths is old, but maybe you are still around to see this. Here is what I did. I am on a rooted phone, but I'm thinking this should still work for you.
Here is what you are going to need:
Folder Organizer application
Any cut Application
Go into Folder Organizer and then go to Shortcuts, then hit the little plus sign to add an action, then choose any cut, then choose activity, then scroll down and choose messages, it will bring up a screen to edit just the title, then hit ok, now you should be back in folder organizer with the messages shorcut, hit the little down arrow on the right side of the screen of messages, then choose icon, and then go through and get whatever icon you want. now once that is done, back out to your home screen and long press home, or if you have an "add to home" button on your rosie, hit that, then choose shortcut, choose folder organizer item, choose shortcuts and choose messages.
It should not revert back to the original messages icon, it should stay. Hope that helps you, or someone else who comes across this thread.
By the way, this took me some time to figure out.... lol.

[Q] Default adding Widget not working

Hi, I must have delete some apk that stop me from adding using the default widget application. Can anyone upload it, thanks in advance.
think we'll need more info.. is this a specific widget or all widgets that you're having a problem with?
and a word of (fairly obvious) advice.. if you don't know what something does, leave it alone!

When you press setting, add to screen. There is a option of widget. When I press it nothing appear.

Bookmarks widget on homepage on the i9505 - Why so difficult?!

Hey guys,
Hoping someone can help me out, not sure why this doesn't work for me...
I want to create 1 of my home pages similar to my previous phone, which is a full page of individual internet bookmarks (the same size as app icons). How I have gone about it (and how I have always done this), is open the basic internet browser (not chrome), go to a webpage, and then save them in my generic "bookmarks" folder.
After I have done that several times, I go to the homepage where I want the bookmarks, navigate to widgets, then drag and drop "bookmark 1x1" onto the homepage....A new screen opens titled "choose a bookmark". On this page I can see a folder "mobile bookmarks", so as there are no other options, i navigate to that folder....again nothing in there except the folder "samsung mobile", so i nav to that folder....nothing inside. There are no other folders or locations I can navigate to. WTF?!
I thought I may have saved them to a separate folder, but even when i go into the bookmark and select "edit" i can't change it to any other default folder (also tried creating a new folder and putting them in there, didn't help)
I tried going into CHROME and setting bookmarks (then saving them) and selecting them as a homepage widget, but again, i can't find anything. Along with the HUGE disappointment of no FM radio chip, I am finding the more basic options more difficult on this phone which doesn't say much for Samsung in newer generation phones. I also don't think I am a complete dumba$$, which is exactly how I feel when i ask a very basic question like this. WHY wont this work?
Thanks anyone who can help.

Phone is unbranded i9505 (4G) AU stock.
I'm using also the stock browser and if you press the menue softkey you can choose 'create shortcut'. This will create a shortcut on the homescreen It is pretty simple and works good for me. Hope this helps you.

Bookmark 1*1 point to chrome, and sbookmark point to the old android browser. Both work correct for me, and as other said, just create a shortcut (this function since android 2.x)
And for chrome just keep pressing the bookmark icon you want, then it will give you a menu to add it to home screen

Aha.
So bookarks are out the window these days, we just navigate to the webpage we want, then select "add shortcut" that seems to be the only way to get that link as a 1x1 icon on the home screen. Thanks mate, +1 for you

No.... When on a homescreen press Menu (or long-press the screen), press Add Shortcut, select Bookmark, choose the site you want.
A 1x1-sized bookmark icon shortcut will be added... :good:

Negatron. This has been answered, but I will respond to your post. On the i9505, long press homepage (or menu key), provides options:
- add apps/widgets - wont work this way
- create folder
- set wallpaper
- add/remove page (this is add or remove a homescreen page)
Long press screen options:
ADD TO HOME SCREEN:
- Apps and widgets
- Folder
- Page
None of these items/options work, so only works, for me, by going into the internet explorer app, hit menu key and then "add shortcut" instead of add bookmark...

Okay. Works, as it should, on my 9505 so no issues here :good: That is, using Apex Launcher as the option you look after is indeed not working (anymore) in Touchwiz...
Its working for me even on touchwiz..
