A Surprise

Senior · 02-05-2012, 11:51 AM

My Vox is working 100% and I use it daily for pleasure and work. Today a friend told me of a great web site which I visited and found exactly as he said and I bookmarked it using my Opera app. To my surprise an Icon has appeared on the home screen of my Vox to the left of the Browser icon. This is a pleasant surprise as I have no idea what I did to get it there. But it does have a rather strange misleading title to it so can anyone tell me how I can rename it? I tried to find it under apps but it is not there, so not an app??

Long press on the icon, should get a rename option.

No, the long press will simply allow me to move the icon, and it makes the garbage can appear so I can delete the icon, but does not allow me to rename it. Remember the icon is on the opening screen next to the Browser icon.

I use go launcher and long press offers rename. Sorry, don't remember how the default launcher works so someone else will have to chime in.
