I can't work out how to delete my off screen memos?
I remove the s pen for an off screen memo, write a note, then pin it to off screen memo (all good so far).
The problem starts when I view the memo.
The screen is off > I tap it once and can see the memo outline with the minimise and delete icons > but when I double tap to view the memo the delete and minimise icons are not there???
All I can do is add more to the note if I want to and click "save".
But if I turn the screen off, tap it once again the screen off memo is still there, with no way to delete it!!!
Can't find any solutions on YouTube or any other tips!!
Does it work if you restart the phone?
Restarting the phone should work.
Are you syncing those notes to Samsung Cloud or OneNote?
If so, and restarting the phone doesn't work log out of Samsung Cloud, clear Samsung Notes app cache and relog back into Samsung Cloud.
Thanks.
I restarted phone and that gave me what looked like a pin icon on the single tap from sleep, I double tapped on the pin that opened the note again, I then saved it again and now it's gone from off screen!!
But of a effort just to delete a note

Hi All!
I had to do a factory reset of my phone tonight (Samsung Galaxy S Mesmerize, Froyo). After the reset, I downloaded a few of my apps (K9, Launcher Pro, Barcode Reader, Facebook). Everything seems to be working, except that when I launch my contacts app, and click the back button to exit, it takes me to a search screen for my contacts, and the only way to close them is to hit the home key.
A few things I've tried already:
1) Rebooting the phone.
2) Removing the shortcut and replacing it.
3) Replacing the shortcut with a shortcut to another app, then switching it back.
What else can I do to fix this?
I have the same problem with my Samsung Galaxy S Captivate. I am in the process of looking for a better contact app.
I upgraded to the ver5.0.2 build 7sqr-uer0 and after the phone rebooted itself all of my home screen web page shortcuts were deleted. I created the web page shortcut using chromes add to home screen menu located on chromes browser over flow menu. Second part. When I now use add to home screen to save a web page the screen goes dark for ±10 seconds and recovers to my homee screen no short cut created. I have done a hard reboot and uninstalled all browser updates . At first I wanted to uninstall chrome the system said no. I do not want to do a reset. Suggestions to this noob is appreciated.
Hi everyone,
Do you want a start menu to start apps conveniently from any screen of Android phone ?
Please try iStart:
With iStart, there is no need to navigate back to home screen any more. iStart saves you a lot of taps and swipes each day
You can begin by using iStart's app organizer to set apps into groups, then launch any of them easily from a start menu panel that appears upon touching a start handle icon.
One-touch mode is absolutely convenient : keep your finger touched and swipe to the desired function on the panel, when releasing the finger the desired app will launch, or the desired action will be performed. Your thumb is now as powerful as a real mouse pointer !
The start handle can be positioned anywhere on screen that you want. If it is located near an edge it will be docked along that edge as a thin styled bar for easy swiping out.
MAIN FUNCTION
iStart works like a start Menu, with app groups being shown in customizable tabs.
Besides categorizing applications, you may also create shortcuts to any file or folder on your device and put them onto iStart for easy launching.
You may also create url links and put onto iStart for quick access: web url, sms compose url with ready-filled recipients, phone call url to any phone number, email compose url with ready-filled recipients. With these links on iStart, all your frequent actions or most favourite contacts are just one touch away.
System command actions are also made for your convenient use: turn-off screen, screen orientation setting, turning flashlight on and off, launch calculator app, launch calendar app, open system setting panel, start google assistant (Android L+), pull down notification bar, take a screen shot (Android M+), launch camera app, adjust media volume and ring volume, go back, go home, open recent applications screen.
PERMISSIONS
For functional purposes of iStart, following permissions may be requested at appropriate circumstances:
- Appear on top: iStart must be granted with this permission to show the start handle and the iStart panel. This is essential for iStart to work
- Storage access: in case you want to post your screen shots onto Gallery, you should allow this. This also enhances file shortcut creation function because you can then access more places on your storage when creating file shortcuts
- Do not disturb mode: in case you want to adjust ring volume to low level
- iStart accessibility service: this should be turned on for following things: pull down notification bar, navigating back (for use with a browser), open recent apps screen
- Device Administrator: in case you want to lock the screen with admin lock function. Note that this permission need to be turned off before force stop or uninstall iStart, unless you use the uninstall button of iStart itself.
- Make phone calls: this is used when you want to make a phone call from a iStart phone call link.
- Access phone book: in case you want to add people from phone book into phone call link or sms compose link
- Camera : this is to activate flashlight in old android devices
- Start at boot time: this is to auto start iStart when your device is restarted
Enjoy iSTART - one touch to start any app from anywhere. It's a simpler and more efficient way to use your phone

Invisible feature
Invisible feature: if you briefly touch the start handle it will act as a Home button for you.
Thank you for using iStart !
Got 1+7T Pro with android 10 and latest nova launcher. When I placed direct call widget and try to call that contact I got a permission denied error.
By accident, found a workaround:
Put dialer icon on home screen, call that contact several times, then long press on dialer, that contact should become visible on popup menu. Drag that contact to some place on the home screen. Now you get a working direct call widget.
Cheers!
Thanks ! This saved me from reverting back to stock launcher!
Even easier way (used OP's way)
Place dialer/phone shortcut on home screen
Remove all favourites from contacts
Make any 3 contacts as your favourites(starred) whose shortcut you want
Now when you long press the dailer icon on the home screen, you can one by one place all 3 on home screen and they will work!!!!!!!!!
Then again remove all these 3 as favourites
And make new 3 contacts as favourites
And again add these new 3 on home screen
So, 3 by 3 you can add direct dials on nova home screen..

Use Google Contacts
Better yet, use Google Contacts (first widget is the Call shortcut). They work perfectly

I'm having trouble finding out how to add a shortcut onto the home screen.
In Chrome I want to add a shortcut for a website as a home screen button. When I click the button "add to home screen" a notification popped up for a very short time and I could read it. It won't pop up again and I don't know what it wants me to do to solve the problem.
The same thing also happened with Google. I want to add Google weather to the home screen. In Google I searched weather and then tapped the option button, and click the add to home screen button. A quick notification popped up and disappeared again. I tried to add it over and over and nothing happens, no error notification either.
What options on permissions do I have to set?
Please help.
Sorry, not an answer to your question but as it's also home screen related, am I correct in saying there's currently no way to set which panel you want as your home screen? For instance if I want to have seven home screen panels but set the middle fourth to always return to upon launch?
I know I can use the app draw but I liked for instance, the ability with EMUI to be able to organise my apps/widgets so I could say, quickly swipe left from the home panel to see all my gaming apps grouped together, or quickly swipe the other way to see others easily.
