LG CHOCOLATE VX8500 Cellular Phone Logo
Posted on Nov 12, 2009

I can't figure out how to remove shortcuts from the home screen of my LG Chocolate Touch. I can drag shortcuts such as calendar or calculator to my home screen so that I can simply open them in one touch. However, I accidentally added a shortcut two shortcuts that I will never use. How can I remove them?

Go to your main menu, go to settings. go to displays. scroll down to "short cut bin" snd make sure it is turned on. a faded arrow will now appear on the right side of your display screen. drag the icon you want to get rid of to the arrow which will turn into a trash can.

Make sure your shortcut bin icon is on the home screen. then drag the item to the short cut bin and it will remove the short cut.

Calendar button appears on the Main Screen

All you did was drag it on accident to the main screen. Just drag it back into the shortcuts menu.

Lg Dare phone

Leslie,
I had purchased and am currently using the LG dare. The issue that I had with the icons apprearing on my main screen was that I was accidentally holding down and dragging the icons from my shortcut menu to the main screen. The easiest way to get rid of the icons from the main screen is to hold down the icon and drag it to the little arrow for the shortcut menu, and it should dissapear.( I just did it on mine so it should wok for you).
If that doesn't work, open you shortcuts menu, hit the set button and remove the icon from the shorcut menu (this should remove it from the main screen as well.)

good luck!
