Just been getting a Samsung S5E tablet I have always used chrome but on trying to add a website url to the home screen it only created the icon to the domain url eg when I try to add this url https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51768274 the icon crwate the link to bbc.co.uk only. I add this via the 3 dots at the top left then click add to home screen.
This works fine in my Huawei phone using android.
Has anybody else got this issue or does everyone else manage to get this to work.
Thanks in advance

Hi guys.
I'd like to change the web'n'walk button on my Vario II (top right button, next to vga camera) to simply open IE rather than showing the "You are about to go online" and opening up the T-Mobile site...does anyone know where i can find this setting in the registry to change it?
Thanks
Try here
Then change the button assigment ot PIE.
Tried this:
go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/HTC here you see the key: PIEplug. just rename or delete this entire key.
Restart your device, and PIE no longer asks if you want to go online. and just goes directly to the page you want

But this doesn't seem to work. Nothing else on that page seems to relate either. I have changed the homepage on the above key to about:blank so thats fine, but it still says "You are about to go online" and id love to get rid of this...!
Edit: I also looked at the remap softkeys bit but these are only for the two bottom left/right buttons rather than the top right web'n'walk button?
Hi there. This is my first post. Just bought a Vario II today, and happened to have fiddled with this option earlier so I speak from (limited) experience.
Go to Start>Settings>Personal(tab)>Buttons.
Button 2 is the web n' walk button. Just change it to Internet Explorer in the drop down list.
Hope this helps!

Your correct matey. thats how its done
Ha, and there was me messing around searching for this in the registry when it was easily done! Thanks for your help
I can hardly believe it, but after returning 4 different Verizon XV6800's, giving up and trying their "Glyde" and "Voyager".....I'm back once again to the Verizon XV6800. It's still the best device (IMO) despite it's weird glitches of turning on ActiveSync all by itself and still no flashing amber light to notify you of a missed MMS Guess I'll just have to live with those stupid oversights that Verizon and UTStarcomm are unwilling to fix.
Anyway, I digress. I have HTC Plus installed on my device and it works great! I also have the default HTCHomePlugin that came with the device enabled so it gives me the icons at the bottom of the screen for "Adjust Backlight", "ActiveSync" and "Flashlight".
I would like to add additional icons to the HTCHomePlugIn at the bottom of the screen WITHOUT making any other changes to my Today Screen ('cause I'm happy with the way it looks), but I have no idea how to add any other icons. Anyone able to help me with doing this?? Thanks.....Mark

Go to the HTC Home folder on the root of your phone and copy the entire folder to your PC. Open the folder and browse around. Open what you want to edit in photoshop and edit/overwrite. Copy those changed files to a new folder and then transfer to the HTC Home folder to overwrite those files. NOTE: turn off HTC Home from the today screen when trying to overwrite files.
EDIT: Sorry realized this was the plugin, not HTC home.

The thread mentions that you can have only seven icons, but here's the 9 icon version:

I've just upgraded to the official 6.5 ROM.
If I select the Weather tab, after a moment's pause the screen changes to one just showing HTC in the centre, then returns to the Today screen.
If I click on My Location under the flippy clock, this seems to take me to the Weather tab again, and the same happens.
Under 6.1 I had added locations to the Weather app, following instructions found on the forum.
Can anyone please help me get the Weather functionality back?
Thanks!
Hi
can anyone try to explain me how this " my location thing " works?
One the home screen right under the clock I can see just "my location" text a thats it..I am unable to find any information on the internet.. Any time I try update it manualy from weather menu I get message about communication problem..But when I manualy added few other locations there is no problem at all..Just "my" location info is still empty..Does anybody know how to tell my bloody phone where am I ? I know it sounds funny but something is definetely wrong..Thanks for any answer..
Yeah and I am running stock version of HTC WM 6.5 recently downloaded from their site..
I am just wondering when they will fix all those problems with new ROM. Like crazy clock when locking my device or flashing light notifications..I would rather wait for new ROM few more days then have problems like this..

On your homescreen you can click the "My location" and from there select what location should be seen on the homescreen. Go to the weather tab first to add your city.
OMG that stupid I am ? Thanks very much m8 ..
I've got My Location set OK, but still can't get the Weather tab to function at all - I just get returned to the Today screen.
Hmm, maybe im doing something wrong. I cant get my location to update in the main weather tab but i can add citys as the other user said. However if i click the "my location" tab under the clock on the main screen, it takes me to the weather tab of my location which is blank as it wont update for some connection error but i cant see how i can make one of the other citys i have added to appear on my homescreen?
I couldn't get this to work either... but I've got it working now... for some reason nothing works until you go to weather tab --> menu --> settings and select " download weather automatically"
After that, if you select "my location" as your clock... it automatically updates to where you actually are... neat huh!

Still can't get Weather to work - if I go to the Weather tab I don't get a Menu option, I get a screen with HTC on the default background, options of Calendar and Contacts at the bottom, and just above these, on the right, a small picture of a generic 'computer' - as if to signify it's processing something.
Then, a few seconds later, I'm dumped back on the start screen.
Please can anyone suggest a solution? I did add cities to weather under 6.1 - could this be anything to do with it?
Thanks!

hmmm, sounds like manila/sense is actually crashing when you go to the weather tab, as the screen you describe just sounds like the blank today screen with no ui on top of it, then it is restarting tf3d and hence bringing you into home screen... odd
Unfortunately, trying to fix the problem I fear I've bricked the phone!
Thinking the issue was that I had edited the 2330fc3c_manila file (to add my location to the Weather cities) I searched for a 'virgin' copy, found what I thought would do the trick in a thread on this forum and installed it.
After this, and a reset, the phone wouldn't launch HTC Sense - the screen invited me to tap to launch it but wouldn't go further...so I tried to restore from a pre-6.5 backup.
Unless anyone knows a way of reviving it, the Topaz is on its way to the menders this afternoon!
I assume you did a hard reset and not just a soft reset?
Yep, tried that - it won't go past the initial screen.
Just reflash a rom. that should fix it
I am interested if I could somehow remove all the stuf from "today" screen
I love when I see walpaper and nothing more, interested in whether they can do it somehow, and if you can then how?
I believe that much like them that look.
or perhaps to add a new screen or box and set as "today" and the original "today" screen get 2 place and a different name.
THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE
Installing Cookie's Home Tab gives you the option to keep using Sense, with the possibility to simply drag away your quicklinks, displaying only the time and your wallpaper.
Or you can go to Settings => All Settings => Today
Uncheck HTC Sense and enable Windows Default
This will allow you to use the main Windows OS interface
Thanx a LOT !
Can You help me please, what Cockie's home should I download from the Internet?

hi guys,
as i understood, clear.fi is only link in the browser, right?
when i start clear.fi app, i see black screen with address in left upper corner:
- file:///android_asset/en_DE/MainPage_1280x800.html
what could be wrong?
looking at the address, i think it could happened because i used More Locale and added a custom one with language EN and country DE.
Is it possible to fix it somehow?
EDIT: SOLVED
i've looked into clearfi.apk and there is no such a folder en_DE so i changed the country using More Locale to US and now it works.
