10 Social networking
Social networking
my life, your life
Your MOTOBLUR account
The first time you turned on your phone, you
registered for a MOTOBLUR account that manages
your messages, contacts and more (“Set up & go” on
page 4). You can log into this account from a computer
to upload contacts, manage the account, get help or
even locate your phone: www.motorola.com/
mymotoblur
What is MOTOBLUR?
MOTOROLA DEXT with MOTOBLUR is the first phone
with social skills.
Only MOTOBLUR synchs contacts, posts, feeds,
messages, e-mails, photos and much more—from
sources like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, your work
e-mail, Picasa, Photobucket—and automatically serves
it up just the way you want it. No opening and closing
apps and menus, it’s all front and centre on your home
screen and integrated throughout the entire phone so
you can communicate anyway you like.
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 tap 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:
1Tap and hold an empty spot on your home screen to
open the Choose widget menu.
2Tap 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 websites to set them up.
Find it: Menu > Settings > Accounts >Menu
>New 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).

11Social networking
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 19.
Tip: To download updates faster, use “Wi-Fi” on
page 39.
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 24.
When you tap the Happenings widget to open an
update, you can tap on the social network’s icon to
open its website.
Note: Your network or other factors might affect the
speed of widget updates.
Edit & delete accounts
Find it: Menu > Settings > Accounts
Tap and hold an account, then tap Open account to
edit it or tap Delete account to remove it (along with
its contacts and messages).
