Games & Apps widget shortcut

instead of clicking on Menu first...

If anyone can figure it out, Agoat will....just be patient   

while i like the widgets and all, it's really dissapointing that the only widgets that can be used are the ones that came on the phone.  It sure would be nice to be able to add them, or create your own shortcuts... like one for the web browser or your msg inbox.  Why didn't they add such simple features?  I like this phone but this is a huge turn off.

This is my first reply to a post but, my fiance has a samsung solstice and she has shortcuts to apps as widgets such as "create a new message " and a kicka$$ speed dial function, and a link to her videos. Is there anything in that firmware we can learn from or use?

I just looked at how to use the "speed dial" function, and as usual, Agoattamer is right.  And it's really easy to do.

On the widget bar, there is a widget that looks like a "blue phone with an orange star".  If you press it, it will open up a screen that will show the "Contacts" that you have labeled as "favorites".  Make sure you have "Favorites" selected.  It's the upper right drop down menu.

(the drop down menu give you three choices: Favorites, Contacts or Groups).  Make sure you have "Favorites" selected.

**Changing the Order of your Favorites**

If you want to change the order of your list, just <tap> the "Change Order" button shown on the bottom right.  Then, "tap, hold and move" the entry to the desired location. When you are done (and happy), tap the "OK" button on the bottom.  Then the next time you use the "speed dial" widget, it will be listed in the order (top to bottom) that you want!  Easy.  Simple.  Thanks Agoattamer!

It would have been easier to explain if I knew how to add pictures into this post, but alas, I don't know how.  This is also explained in the manual on page 91.  At least, on my manual!

I know to do all that I learned everything about the phone the day i got it(i played around for a while) i just want to make my phone look snazzy and cool . i used to have an lg vu and i modded the heck out of it but i just cant seem to figure out this phones firmware or how to pull widgets off of it.
