Adding and Removing Widgets

Widgets are self-contained applications that reside either in your Widgets tab or on the main or extended

Contacts shortcuts, bookmarks, Facebook status windows, Gmail and email accounts, and many other
types of apps.
Adding a Widget
1. Press
2. Touch and hold an empty area of the Home screen, and then choose Apps and widgets >
Widgets.

Removing a Widget

2. Touch and hold the desired widget, and then drag it to the Remove icon. As you drop the widget
into the Trash, both items turn red.
Note: This action does not delete the application; it simply removes it from the current screen.

Extended Home Screens

In addition to the main home screen, your phone has six extended home screens to provide more space
for adding icons, widgets, and more. Touch and hold the icon or widget and then drag across the screen
to move from the main screen to an extended screen.
