Update your status
After you add a social networking account, you can
update and see your current status in a
Social Status
widget on your home screen.
To update your status, just touch your Social Status
widget and enter text. If you have more than one
account, you can use the pull-down menu to limit
which accounts are updated. If you don’t see a
Social
Status widget, flick your home screen left or right to
check all panels.
To add a Social Status widget:
1 Touch and hold an empty spot on your home screen
to open the
Add to Home screen menu.
2 Touch Widgets > Social Status. The widget appears
in the empty spot, and will show your status the
next time your phone updates from the network.
Add accounts
Note: You can add your Facebook, MySpace, Twitter,
or other accounts to your phone. If you don’t have
accounts, you can visit their Web sites to set them up.
Find it: Menu > Settings > Accounts > Add
account
To sign into your account, use the user name or email
and password that you set up on that account (the
same as on your computer).
When you sign into social networking accounts, you’ll
see your friends and contacts in your
Contacts list, and
your status and updates can appear in Social Status
and Happenings widgets.
Twitter and MySpace messages will always appear
as “read” on your phone, but your phone notifies you
when you receive a new message. MySpace marks
your messages as “read” online.
For email accounts , see “Set up messaging” on
page 20.
Tip: To download updates faster, use “Wi-Fi” on
page 50.
View account updates & features
After you add a social networking account, you can see
and respond to friends’ updates with the
Happenings
widget on your home screen. If you don’t see one, set
one up in “Widgets” on page 27.
When you touch the Happenings widget to open an
update, you can touch the social network’s icon to
open its Web site.
Note: Your network or other factors might affect the
speed of widget updates.
