I can load the file but it only shows the first image and will not show all the views, and most importantly not the last image. This the site it is from -

I have flash 10.1 installed and of the few site I have visited, like this one - 2Advanced v5 - Attractor - Flash content seems to work fine on Dolphin hd browser and the standard browser.
I have looked everywhere in the forums and although I know it is in here I can't seem to find the answer to this question. How do I change the home buttons at the bottom of the main screen? I have switched to k9 mail and would like to replace the stock email icon there.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDuring a call, I will hold the phone away from my face to see how many minutes I've been talking. Normally, it will correctly show me the call screen, however, sometimes it will flash the home screen briefly before going back to the call screen. There seems to be no rhyme or reason about when this happens. Even worse, sometimes it flashes the home screen briefly and will go to a blank screen. I will then need to press the home key in order for it to return to the call screen. This happens sometimes, as well, when I finish the call. Previously, I had the Not Call Log application installed but I've removed it. Also, I previously had my screen timeout set to one minute but changed that to thirty minutes. But, this behavior still happens
View 1 Replies View RelatedSomething weird happens to my phone. At times when I am browsing through my apps in the applications window, the phone suddenly goes back to the home screen after about 10-15 secs of inactivity. It vibrates a little bit as if the back button is being pressed. I am 100% sure I am not pressing the back button.
Other times, when I start up an app (gmail, facebook, internet, music player, etc) it goes back after about 10 secs of inactivity. It seems to always want to go back to the home screen and it will keep going back till it arrives at the home screen.
I just got my phone two days ago and haven't done anything much on the phone yet.
Can anybody give the link for source code of android home screen page.

As a UK based person I really don't care about news in USA. If there is no way or doing this, is there any way of adding the news screen BACK to the 2nd home screen.
View 3 Replies View RelatedNoticed yesterday that on the homescreen when the phone was locked that a missed call and voicemail notification appeared as pieces removed from a jigsaw overlay of the background homescreen image. Hadn't seen that before. Is that a default thing or can I change it (did look rather cool though). I usually use the pattern lock rather than the default swipe lock, so I'm wondering if it's to do with that default setting.

Then i pressed volume up + power button and ended backing up my device on internal sd card wrongly. Now my phone working very very slow because of memory low.
I've tried to deleted the back up by pressing volume up + power and then deleted the files in "back up and restore"
but my device still low on memory, i tried to reset it few times and suddenly it goes on black screen
my tablet still able to finished load samsung logo and still looked fine on homescreen but after i slide it to unlock, the black screen is occurred
i still can access settings, home and back button specially when i access settings, i can't do anything like formating device or deleting applications
i've tried to restore factory settings using clockworkmode by pressing home button and volume up it worked. but when i try to restored my previous back up data, the black screen re occurred.
what should i do? if i can't fix this problem and will have to reset on factory settings, is there any application to read the back up data? since i backed up it on external sd card probably if i can read the data, i could restore some important data.

Or is this something that can't be done unless the phone is rooted? One thing that drove my wife nuts when we were checking out the phone is that every time she hit the Home key, that Google search box was right there on the main screen staring at her. I hope this is something that be gotten rid of? Anyone know about this?
