I have a Samsung GT-P7510 tablet running Android 4.0.4 and I want to add a bookmark to the home screen so I have one touch access to the web app. Previously this same tablet was running an earlier version of Android (3.x) and I had no problem adding a web app to the home screen. I would first add the page as a bookmark and then long press the bookmark to get a menu. On the menu there was an option to add the bookmark as a shortcut on the home screen. When I did that then I am pretty sure it allowed me to specify a name for the home screen shortcut. Once I added it then it went to the home screen automatically and I could see the shortcut icon. I recently upgraded the tablet to Android 4.0.4 and tried to do the above operation. When I do, I see these differences. When I long press a bookmark and select "Add shortcut to home" nothing seems to happen. No dialog box comes up asking me what name I want to give the shortcut. When I go to the home screen I don't see my shortcut. Why isn't this working???
