My top left button (email) is normally assigned as the start menu button. After installing a new screen protector, whenever I pressed the button, it would open the start menu but start another program. I don't have any programs that open allow buttons to do multiple things, so I'm puzzled as to how this could've occurred or if it's related to the installation of a screen protector at all.
Any clues guys?
What does it claim to be assigned to? Go to Start>Settings>Buttons and check what it says there for Button1. Also, how did you assign it to the start menu?
hi i new to this but when i got my phone second hand someone had already put a different rom on it (kumars). its cool and i like it but today something strange happened. I am now missing a couple of icons such as if you hit start there was a padlock icon to lock the screen. it is now gone but you can still press the area and it will lock. secondly, when you press the call button to go into the make call menu, the "menu" icon is gone. you press the area and it works. strangly enough, when you press the area the "close" icon will appear
How do you change the default home screen? Like when I press the home button it will use that instead? Cause im trying out the ADW Launcher but its not in the applications lists so I cant open it.
When using a program try holding the home button, this should pop up with a menu that says "complete action with" and show Home or ADW. Or something like that, I know Ive seen that menu before.
Yea, it used to show the menu. But then I set the Home as default action so if I press home it will bring me to the home i dont want and if I hold it, it shows a box with recently opened apps

Holding the home button is the action for bringing the recent app list. *FAIL*

Go into application settings and clear the defaults for Home.
Settings-> Applications-> Manage Applications
Scroll down do the Home application (cant remember if its called home or what, deleted my Launcher.apk ages ago after getting root). Once you have cleared the defaults. A press on the home button will show you options to select your home screen, this will include ADW, Home and TimeScape, select ADW and check "Set as default".
Hi
Stupid problem!
Bought my daughter a ZTE Blade 3. Stock ROM from Virgin UK.
Somehow she has dropped an icon over the "all apps" icon in the bottom row of icons on the home screen.
All fixes I can find involve a long press on the home screen and a menu coming up with a menu that includes shortcuts or something similar. However the menu that comes up doesnt have anything relevant!
Any ideas?
Cheers
Rob
