I can't get Folders to work...

I'm trying to get my games into a folder on my homescreen. I created a new folder, named it 'games', opened it, pressed the menu, selected 'add'-shortcuts-applications and selected a game. From the homescreen I dragged the game to my folder but it does not appear in the folder. I've tried several times with different games yet the folder remains empty.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks.

Are you using the stock folders are have you installed a 3rd party app for this, I use Folder Orginizer?

First i'll state that I'm on gingerbread. But from my homescreen i'll long press on the screen and an option to add a folder as well as other options appear. I select new folder and long press on the new folder and o can rename and do to games. Next I open my app drawer and find a game and move it to my home screen. I long press on the moved game and slide it to the folder titled games and it should appear.

You could try a reboot if this doesn't work on ur particular phone.

You have to pull from the app drawer not the shortcuts

I deleted the 'games' folder and started over again. This time it worked. I have no idea what I did differently before.

 

Thanks, all, for your replies.
