The instructions can cause the display of a Toolkit homepage in response to a Toolkit application being selected in a homepage of the communication device. In response to the short range wireless function being selected in the Toolkit homepage, status of the short range wireless function on the communication device can be displayed. In response to the short range wireless function being turned on, a short range wireless function menu can be displayed. In response to a pairing option being selected from the displayed short range wireless function menu, menu options for pairing a short range wireless device with the communication device can be displayed. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A communications device comprising: a display; a wireless communication system; a processor communicatively coupled to the display and the wireless communication system; and a non-transitory memory having stored therein instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the communications device to: render on the display a plurality of icons, at least one icon of the plurality of icons being configured to launch a wireless set-up application associated with the wireless communication system; and render on the display a status indicator associated with the at least one icon, the status indicator conveying whether the communications device is paired with an external wireless device via the wireless set-up application. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The communications device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of icons are configured to launch at least one of an instant messaging set-up application, a social networking set-up application, an email set-up application, and a wireless data exchange set-up application. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The communications device of claim 2, wherein the status indicator conveys a status of at least one of the instant messaging set-up application, the social networking set-up application, the email set-up application, and the wireless data exchange set-up application. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The communications device of claim 1, wherein the status indicator comprises at least one of a checkmark, a color change of the at least one icon, or a background color change of the at least one icon. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The communications device of claim 1, wherein the status indicator is overlaid on an icon for the wireless set-up application in response to the communications device being paired with the external wireless device. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The communications device of claim 1, wherein the instructions further cause the communications device to: render a dropdown menu for the wireless set-up application. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The communications device of claim 1, wherein the instructions further cause the communications device to: render on the display a list of external wireless devices paired with the communications device. ### Claim 8 A method comprising: rendering, via a processor of a communications device having a display and a wireless communication system, a plurality of icons on the display, at least one icon of the plurality of icons being configured to launch a wireless set-up application associated with the wireless communication system; and rendering on the display a status indicator associated with the at least one icon, the status indicator conveying whether the communications device is paired with an external wireless device via the wireless set-up application. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the plurality of icons are configured to launch at least one of an instant messaging set-up application, a social networking set-up application, an email set-up application, and a wireless data exchange set-up application. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the status indicator conveys a status of at least one of the instant messaging set-up application, the social networking set-up application, the email set-up application, and the wireless data exchange set-up application. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the status indicator comprises at least one of a checkmark, a color change of the at least one icon, or a background color change of the at least one icon. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the status indicator is overlaid on an icon for the wireless set-up application in response to the communications device being paired with the external wireless device. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising: rendering a dropdown menu for the wireless set-up application. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising: rendering on the display a list of external wireless devices paired with the communications device. ### Claim 15 A computer-readable storage device having stored therein instructions which, when executed by a processor of a communications device having a wireless communication system, cause the communications device to perform steps comprising: rendering a plurality of icons on a display of the communications device, at least one icon of the plurality of icons being configured to launch a wireless set-up application associated with the wireless communication system; and rendering on the display a status indicator associated with the at least one icon, the status indicator conveying whether the communications device is paired with an external wireless device via the wireless set-up application. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The computer-readable storage device of claim 15, wherein the plurality of icons are configured to launch at least one of an instant messaging set-up application, a social networking set-up application, an email set-up application, and a wireless data exchange set-up application. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The computer-readable storage device of claim 16, wherein the status indicator conveys a status of at least one of the instant messaging set-up application, the social networking set-up application, the email set-up application, and the wireless data exchange set-up application. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The computer-readable storage device of claim 15, wherein the status indicator comprises at least one of a checkmark, a color change of the at least one icon, or a background color change of the at least one icon. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The computer-readable storage device of claim 15, wherein the status indicator is overlaid on an icon for the wireless set-up application in response to the communications device being paired with the external wireless device. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The computer-readable storage device of claim 15, wherein the instructions further cause the communications device to perform steps comprising: rendering on the display a dropdown menu for the wireless set-up application; and rendering on the display a list of external wireless devices paired with the communications device.
