I had this problem in HD2 as well but sorted it out. How do you put a default weather location on the main screen.
I do not want weather to show "My location" . I just want to see my home towns weather irrespective of where I am.
Any help?
Tap and hold the home screen widget, untill its draggable. Then drag it to the lower left "edit" button and type in a city

WOW
That was so cool
You made my day. Thanks
edit on mine does nothing it doesn't get highlighted as a option when i press and hold the widget?
bump is anyoneelses edit feature not working
It works for me. I wanted the opposite to yahya.hamid, I wanted to show 'current location' rather than the name of the town. As the man said, press and hold, then drag down to the bottom left hand corner, which turns into 'edit' and up pops the choice of cities or you can type one in. Thanks fcjversc, made my day also.
My problem is the number of cities in the database is very limited. Is there a way to get more cities?
Is anyone else having the edit issue I have ,if I hold on the widget and drag it to Tue bottom left corner the edit option is not delectable only the remove option is available

Are you using the widget with the flipping clock and weather? If so mine does it.
Got it sorted brutally that gives you is cities in the weather database. Mine is not in there,on win mob the was a app that allowed you to add any place as long ad you had the accurately view weather code

I've looked 'n' read around and messed with the various theme apps but haven't been able to find any method to change the default Sense Home "All Programs" lower left triangular button function to display Mail or Messages. These are the two apps I use far more than anything and find myself having use of them on every screen.
I'd really love some way to either open something other than default or better, some way to remove the + button and add another like the left arrow there too so both of them can open Mail and Messages.
Any way that its possible? Thanks.

Install Helix 2 from the market. You'll lose Sense but you can make a tool bar on the bottom of the screen that holds 4 apps.
Thanks...
Tried that priorly, not really what I'm after here. Definitely not replacing Sense and my current config on it except for that lower bar. That is all I'm after tweaking.

You don't 'Lose' it at all, Sense is still there and you get asked to choose between the 2 anytime you do anything until you make one default.. even then, sense is still running in the backgound unless you manualy shut it down.
You're right. I just gave some of the variants a try including Launcher, HelixLauncher, Home ++ but it looks as if what I thought was HelixLauncher 2 was HelixLauncher. 2 is definitely quicker for me and better suited but still no way of adding one or two select apps which scroll open/close with such a lower bar menu button on any home screen you're on. Just as the All Programs do on Sense.

Just FYI, Home++ has two such buttons on the lower bar for opening all programs and bookmarks but they're not remappable to a function or app you'd like (which is what I'm after).

I've got a rooted G2 with CyanogenMod, and I somehow replaced the phone icon in the launcher "dock" with the maps icon... I have no idea how to fix it. ;_;

Long press on home screen and make a short cut to the "phone" app. Then long press on that shortcut you just made and drag it to the desired position on the dock bar.

Thank you! I would have figured it out sooner or later, but I kept trying to do things that I could see easily happening in my pocket.
When I hold an app icon and try to add it to my home screen, I select the option "add to home" and it send me to my home screen without any kind of icon. Help?

Sounds like your home screen is already full. Try moving some of the apps from your main home screen ( the middle one) and place them elsewhere. If the middle one is filled up, it will usually just take you to the home screen and not carry the shortcut for the app forward.
Else, try moving to an empty home screen(any except the middle one) and push and hold down on an empty space. Then, you will see an option saying "Shortcut" or something. Click on it, choose "application" and then select the app you want on that specific home screen and it will just carry it to that empty space you selected earlier.

If you have a home replacement app installed(launcherpro, adwlauncher, etc.) uninstall it and then try. Had the same problem, uninstalling the replacement launcher fixed it. Blur is garbage.
i just had pretty much the same issue. i just installed Go Launcher and the only way to add things onto the home screen is to hold down on the home screen you want to add to, then press add application and then there's a check list for the apps you want to add to that screen.
i know it's off topic, but blur does suck, i was okay with it until i tried other home replacement apps, went back to blur and it physically hurt.
Thanx guys but im perfectly aware of how to add stuff to the home screen and
When its full or not. As for launchers I have 5 different launchers installed including stock MOTOBLUR and I use home switcher for froyo. So for the time being ill just work with a lil' ADW here and a lil' launcherpro. Thanx anyway guys

Is there anyway to remove the doc icon messaging and replace it with another? I've looked and looked not sure if it can be done. Does anyone know I don't want a different launcher.

Remember to go MenuButton>Save after you're done, otherwise it throws away your changes.
Pressing the back button will save the change as well.

This was driving me crazy today. I wanted to move Phone icon to middle so it is easier to reach one-handed, and put Camera icon on dock.
I finally found a post in the Epic 4G forum that explains the process. Works the same for Gnote. This should really be in the Gnote User Manual!
Application>Menu>Edit - drag out what you don't want, drag in what you do want - then Menu>Save to seal the deal.
Maybe it is a stupid question, but suddenly I lost the software buttons on the bottom of the home. Is there a way to restore them?
Thanks
swipe left or right on the dock

what launcher are you using? ...
you need to use your launcher menu> First you may need to long press the phone , contacts and message apps to bring them to the desktop, than use edit to place them in the Dock ( will depend on launcher and settings will vary according to their menu)
If too confusing just download a different launcher from play store and use it
This is stock Touchwiz, right? Looks like it, so I'll assume so...
Go into Applications.
You should see the icons for Phone/Contacts/Applications along with your other apps.
Press the menu button, and click edit. Now you should be able to move the icons around.
Drag the phone/contacts/messages icon down to the dock. It should drop there, and then you'll have your shortcuts back.

Thanks again.
By the way, what is "stock Touchwiz"?
Touchwiz is the stock (or default launcher) that comes with the phone
