Favorites Widget

[teamhoover]

I had my Favorites widget (red one with my Favorite #'s) on the second screen and wanted to move it to my first screen, so I trashed it thinking I could find it again, but oh no. It is gone. Any hints on where I might find it?

I also would like to know how/where to access the favorites widget. Have you had any luck locating/finding the widget?

I have a Droid so my suggestion may be applicable.

Long press (press and hold) on the space where you want the widget. A new window will open, tap widget, tap favorites.

thanks for the reply... when I do that I get the 'Add To Home Screen' and choices of Motorola or Android Widgets, however the 'Favorites' widget is in neither...

 

[mwhartman]

Try selecting the shortcuts instead of widgets

It might not be named favorites, what are the options?

BTW for future reference, I believe you can drag the widget you want to move, to the edge of the screen and it should "jump" to the next screen.

Hello

I have five contacts set as favorites but the widget only shows four across. Am I doing something wrong? Just got this phone today, came from a Droid X. Thanks for any help.

You need to click and hold the widget and resize it, the screen is only four icons across so you need to to cover more than 1 row.

When I click and hold it just opens the recycle garbage can. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Oh okay I am sorry that one you can't resize I guess. You are only going to see four at a time and you have to swipe it down to open it up and see the rest.

Yeah, figured out the swipe thing. Wish it could display five. Oh well. Thanks so much for your quick replies.
