New Droid user having trouble...

[dom222]

Hi all,

Just got my first "real" phone here (I was still rocking a Razr).

Anyway, I am loving the Eris but I have one problem. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to add people to my favorite contacts. Perhaps I am doing something wrong or I flat out am misunderstanding what they mean by "favorites".

Ok, so on one of the side screens there's a "widget" I guess that apparently allows you to add favorites. When I click on it it takes me to my contact list, but I can't add anybody. Whenever I try to click a contact it wants me to call or email this person. I can't simply import them into a favorites list. It seems like it would be one of the simplest things to do yet I cannot do it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It isn't actually trying to make you call or email someone; it is asking you what the primary action is? If you normally call them, choose call; if you normally email them, choose email. Then, when you go to favorites, when you click on their image, it will open the choice you previously chose.

Hey Ruben,

Thanks for responding.

Neverind mate, that did the trick. Thank you very much!

To add a favorite, open the contact, press "Menu", and there is an icon with a heart on it - that adds the contact as a favorite person.
