Go to App drawer press app/widget until ur homescreen comes up and then place it on desired homescreen. You can also add Folders and add ur shortcuts to folder
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
That only adds a shortcut for the app you press. I want to add just the battery shortcut from the settings. With the default launcher, or even Apex, you can long press and get a menu for "apps", "widgets", "folder", or "shortcut". When I select "shortcut" it then lets me scroll through everything. I scroll to "settings" and then press it, and then I can select "battery" for only the batter icon to be on my homescreen. I can't do this with SGIII launcher.

Ok so this morning I tried to install the OTA update from Tmobile, and it crashed my phone. I tried factory reset and everything. I can boot into bootloder and recovery (I'm using TWRP v2.0), but factory reset does not work and the phone will not load past the white HTC screen.

Any thoughts on how to fix it?

FYI - The phone is unlocked through HTC and it is still S-On.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Search SEARCH SEARCH before posting..

It is said everywhere, especially the ICS THREAD that you must be fully stock in order to flash stock rom. This means unrooted, back to stock recovery and back to stock locked bootloader.

Search first please before creating any more threads. I am positive the right threads were suggested in dup thread check before you posted this. Read please.
[HTC Amaze 4G] FranzDages:
I've posted this in a few other threads, but I want to reiterate that you do NOT have to relock the bootloader. Mine was unlocked (no other modding done), and the OTA update went without a hitch. Maybe I got lucky somehow and it was some sort of fluke, but it all went swimmingly for me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:
I don't get why people say search a bunch of times, yet still answer the question, lol!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mclovin80:
I tried to get back to stock recovery, but it won't work for some reason.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
You don't have to relock the bootloader, just download one of the stock GB RUU files, place it on your sd card, rename it to PH85IMG.zip and reboot into bootloader, it'll restore everything to stock, check for software update and proceed updating to ICS.

My son is one, (20 months exact) and he is the proud owner of a Nokia Lumia 800 (cyan) It doesn't have talk or text, and only has a minimal data plan for the sake of security in case he wanders off. It functions to me as a security measure, but he can use the phone. He plays some games, reads the nokia-enabled sesame street books, listens to music (He loves Micheal Buble), and takes pictures. He loves his phone, and loves playing some games over WiFi with me but some feel he's too young for one and today I was even insulted for giving him a cellphone. What are your thoughts? How young is too young for a cellphone?
[Off-topic] K1LLER HORNET:
What? 20mths?

I would have said 8yrs old minimum.

I find it incredible a child that young hasn't destroyed the device.

Must be a smart kid if he can not only look after the phone but also competently operate it.

Ultimately it's down to you to decide whether it's fine for him.

Thinking about it more, I guess it's not worlds apart from any other children's toy.

The lumia 800 is made of polycarbonate and gorilla glass. It's a tough device to break. Months ago, I even posted a thread because he tossed it off of a second story balcony and it was unscathed. Windows Phone is made to be intuitive and act as an extension of oneself, there are numerous videos of small children using it, it's not like other OSes, it's all about ease of use.
[Off-topic] sitizenx:
My concern is radiation. I don't know if it is a valid concern. If radiation isn't a health risk and your kid doesn't break the phone or lose it I suppose as early as possible is the right answer. I like the security idea. Frankly there needs to be some kind of tracking device you can put into your kids cloths so that you can constantly track there whereabouts. If I'm going to pick up a something I bought on Craigslist or go out with some new girl I just met I usually zip and email or text to someone I know letting them know what I'm up to in case I disappear. I like the apps that let people track your location. I just feel my current GF would abuse it.

Funny part is they just posted a video of the lumia 900 being used as a hammer.

The device isn't used as a cellphone, it's a tracking device, movie device, gaming device, music device, and general entertainment device, basically a gameboy on steroids.

Think about one thing. When you were 20 months old, or even 20 years old, di your parents have to have a GPS strapped to you? No, 20 years ago everyone survived somehow without cellphones. I think 16 is the right age to give a cellphone to your kid.

Soooo...give a baby a phone, its cute that they can navigate it. Precious.

Give an adult a phone?

They crash cars, text while driving, riding bikes, and walking, lose social skills, fall into fountains, inadvertently encounter bears, and actually cause cities to install soft bumpers on light posts simply to prevent injury from some asshole who just can wait until he/she can stop for a sec and type. When you hit the pole, just LOL. There are smartphone users and then there are smart phone users.

For a 20 month old, yeah, it's doing the trick. Generous data plan. Pretty cyan phone. Gorilla glass too? That kid is set. The poor thing.

Think about all the adults who suddenly became retards the second they got their smartphone after never having one as a kid, and think of what a retard you're turning your kid into when you hand one to them at birth, when a trip to a playground or a library could really make a difference.

[Off-topic] PoorCollegeGuy:
This is a complicated question, one which is difficult to answer because I don't have kids.

But I do have friends with kids.

A buddy of mine has kind of a neat system with cell phones for his kids and it's one which I plan on emulating when I have my own someday.

He gave his kids their first cell when they started going to school. Locked texting, locked data. It is only for emergency phone calls and he can use GPS to track the child. The phone is nothing special, an old flip phone.

Come middle school, the kid gets a smartphone, albeit a cheap one. Nothing big and grand like the Note, the Galaxy S II/III, the One X series etc. Probably something like my beat up old Evo 4g. Calls and text only, no data except at home on a wifi connection.

Come high school, the kids gets a real smartphone with full responsibilities.

I would also teach my kid how to properly use the phones to avoid malware stuff, etc etc.

Personally, I think 20 months is a little young for a phone but a phone defined as a device that makes phone calls and what your child has does NOT make phone calls, ergo it is not a phone (capable, yes. but it does not actually make calls anymore, so by our wonderful english language, it's no longer a phone). You essentially gave your kid a toy that can be tracked via GPS, so I don't really consider it giving your kid a phone. You can use that argument next time some uptight douchebag tries to tell you how to raise your child ;)

My 2 cents :)
[Off-topic] scuzzbag87:
Yea a 20 month old does not need a phone. Unless ur a bad parent and can't keep an eye on him and need it to track him. Seriously he doesn't need one.

I'm 21. My father got me my first phone when I was eight. I got my first computer when I was 6 because I'd finish all my work at school in a rush just to get on their's. When I was one I was already playing on whatever game systems I could get my hands on. Really, I think it depends on the child's interests. I was interested in tech from a very young age and learned to read at a fourth grade level by the time I was two.

I will say that my dad originally locked the data on my phone. Not because I wasn't allowed to have it but because it was a bit expensive. I countered this by selling those 25 cent packs of gum at 50 cents a piece [or 2 dollars a pack] during school... along with a few other undiclosed techniques of making money at school.... and paid for my own data.

So, I'm extremely happy to see you, as a parent, sharing the wonders of technology with your child at such a young age. It's only going to make him/her smarter and more adapt at using technology in the future. I suggest when the child becomes fully aware and attent-full why not teach him/her how to build a computer. Also, buy all the Bill Nye dvds you can. Those things made me the happiest child ever.... Bill Bill Bill Bill Bill.. Bill Nye The Science Guy.

It's a seemingly unnecessary security measure until you need it. Had my cousin had it, his crazed mother wouldn't have kidnapped him, flown to new York, and tried to throw him off of a building. We got him back because some junkie stopped her, but it wouldn't have gone that far had we been able to track him.

Unless the mother found the phone and disposed of it...

My niece grew up with an ipod touch for entertainment, and I think it's stunted her development.

While my kids would be reading books, playing with duplo or stickle bricks, being entertained by my wife and I, making jigsaw puzzles, my niece is given the ipod to keep her entertained and quiet.

I don't think radiation is a big concern. Almost everything electronic emits radiation. You're constantly bombarded by radiation from wireless networks, radio waves, computers, etc. I seriously doubt that any of these devices emit enough radiation to harm even a small child.

My sister (8) can navigate both my phone and my tablet (both android, one running sense, one basically unskinned) and play games and whatever she wants.

High School is fine. Kids don't need to be texting, IMing, and all that crap before then. Video games and entertainment are fine, but data at less than two years old? This has got to be a joke.
[Off-topic] Mesektet:
Either that or they don't care enough about them to actually interact with them. That's the downside of living in a technological age - people crap out kids and don't want to deal with them, so they shove tech in their hands to shut them up. sry2say kids are work - you gotta chase after them and play with them and actually, y'know, RAISE them. Novel concept.

Personally speaking, I prolly won't give my daughter a phone until middle school. I figure that's decent enough - middle school is around the time they start to spend more time alone or out with friends, so I figure it makes sense. But, y'know, to each their very own - like TheSkinnyDrummer said, we raise our own kids.

I have no shortcomings as a parent, I work out for the soul purpose of being able to keep up with him, we swim daily and we play nonstop. As far as tech goes, aside from his phone that's used as a security measure, the worst it gets is a Teddy Ruxpin, and a star generator. The phone is something in case the worst happens that also happens to have pleasant features built in.

Hey man, it's all good. We raise our own kids. We might debate, judge, be outraged, or even approve of such things as getting a phone for a 20 month old. You asked, and sofar you've had extremely varied responses. Most good threads thrive when that is the case.

I'm glad you started this thread, because I'm just as curious to see what others think. Because this site is well represented around the world, the responses to this topic will be varied, debated, and such.

You seem very protective of your family, and that's awesome. Is getting a phone for my 21 month old reasonable to me? I don't think so. But ill never sit here and insist that you're wrong for getting one for your son. He's yours, not mine.

I think it is ok to give your child a phone when you feel comfortable paying the bill for it and that they will take care of it.... Because my 3 year can work both phones (rooted g2x and rooted sensation) so good to where he can get to his favorite game (Angry Birds), call his mama or mine, and even go into the browser and look at what he wants.... Honestly I wouldn't buy him a phone because although I would be fine with paying the bill, I don't think he could take care of it

It is very difficult to put mobile phone to a womb of a woman. Thats what she said. Although when I was browsing this Interweb the other day I saw a picture where someone was desperately trying to do that. To come to think of that scene ... maybe it was the baby returning it back because it seemed to to be old Nokia 3210.

Sorry I could not resist myself. :)

But I would say that longer you can keep your children out of the mobile phone, PC, TV and game consoles. I remember the time when I had to pedal by bike to my friend to see if he could come out to play. Those were the days.

By the way I have Galaxy S1 and my 17 year old son has S2 so it is already impossible to circulate my old phones to my children.
