Help Can't delete favorites

Is anyone else having this problem?

I have a droid razr and I am trying to edit my favorites. I deleted some of the contacts in my favorites by holding down the contact and selecting delete contact. But there are some contacts that wont delete. I select delete contact but nothing happens. I have also deleted contacts from favorites by clicking on the green star by their name, but this only works for certain contacts. What am I missing here. I guess I have to delete them from the whole phone and then add them in again one by one.

Also in trying to resolve this problem I deleted the little widget thing at the top of the home screen. It had six squares and you could put pics of your contacts in the squares. How can I get that back, I put it in the trash can thinking it was a recycle bin and now its gone.

Thanks in advance for anyone who took the time to read this post or give suggestions.

I'll move this to the droid razr forum, the users there should be able to help assist you better because every android phone has a slightly different way of performing certain tasks.

You can remove contacts from the "Favorites" subgroup a couple of ways: As you said, by tapping the green star in the individual contact's banner. In your contacts list screen, you can go to the Favorites listing by tapping the tab on the far right. Then you can long-press on individual contacts and remove them from Favorites.

The Favorite Contacts Widget is available from the Home Screen long-press menu. Long-press on a fairly large blank area of your home screen and select "Widget". From there, scroll down and tap on "Favorite Contacts". There it is! This widget will show all contacts that you've made "Favorites". Flick it down to see them all.

Hope this helps.

I have a similar issue.
at times, my phone gets stuck(not exactly stuck, it will be like, it will ponder for a very brief moment!) and suddenly all my favorite contacts in the main screen will go blank. for this, i pull down the contacts, i press the ''+'' button and i add one new contact (i only have 6 favo contacts) and suddenly in the blank columns, all my favo contacts will appear and then i go into it again and take off the one that i gave the last.

I have the same problem. Cant delete a contact and can't get him to show up in the widget unless i add a pic of him. Then his contact overwrites another fave in the widget rather than adding one, even though i only have 7 favs. Really frustrating instability with my new razr. Doesn't anyone validate their sw?
