no more room on home screen

[zulu041]

can someone help me im trying to add the clock/weather widget onto my home screen and it says i have no more room on my homescreen all that is on there is walpaper and nothing else

before you finalize adding the widget, try closing the keyboard and making sure the layout is in the portrait view. THEN, do the final step of adding the widget. ive had the same problem a couple times and this helped me out

Or make a couple of folder, put some apps in the folders and free up home screen space...

I put all my media apps (camera/gallery/music/pandora/etc.) in one folder to make room on the home screen...made a HUGE difference!

how do i check if it is in a portrait view?

It just IS in portrait view. As in oriented so that it is vertical and not landscape as in when the keyboard is slid out.

Try pulling the battery, and then putting it in. Which clock are you trying to use? You have NO icons on this screen? No phone, nothing?

Wow, thanks for this tip! I didn't even think about this and I've got 3 full home screens now. It's my first Android device, and I'm still getting used to the customization possibilities. Good, good, good. :rockon:

stdesign... you're SO welcome! I love the feature so I can still locate favorite apps easily, but I might not use them everyday, so I don't need them taking up a lot of space on my home screens. Best of both worlds!

Portrait view, no keyboard. Can't add calendar widget. Same error message. Have plenty of open slots on home screen.

Tried pulling the battery. Didn't help. I have a motorola droid and lots of available slots for widgets and shortcuts.

I was going to suggest this, I have the free version, haven't tried to implement it yet because I really want the symmetry of the 4icons per space of the paid one, but going to wait for 2.1 to see if they roll out unlimited home screens.

The free one(more icons widget) will let you put four icons per widget, you just replace the settings icon.

Plenty of available slots does not mean anything. It physically has to be able to fit in that specified area. Some widgets can take up many more slots than people realize. Many also come in different sizes for this reason. Try adding this same widget to another page with more area.

Sorry...but the only time it will say this is if there is just not enough room.
