So im giving launcher pro a try, and the only thing that's missing is the people widget as found on sense.Does anyone know of a good alternative that does much of the same thing?I know the paid version of Launcher has something similar, but i dont want to buy it until i've tried it for a couple weeks.

all my contacts are google contacts with several linked to Facebook accounts.When I access my contacts through the People widget, all's good, I only see the google contacts (I've deselected Facebookers in the view menu). However when I access the Messages widget all my contacts are doubled up for some reason. I realise this list is also showing facebook contacts as well as google contacts but even the non-facebook contacts are doubled up.
View 1 Replies View RelatedGot a Desire last week, and it's my first smartphone so am on a bit of a learning curve, but the phone does rock.
Anyway, I'm a little confused with regards to the People Widget.
I have it configured on one of my home screens and its linked to my Gmail contacts account. I have set my favourites (grouped as 'Starred in Android')
and synched the favourites to go to that group when you first set it up.
Now, the phone also has 3 duplicate contacts in the list - all of the duplicates look like they've come from Facebook, but I can't get rid of them from the list.
At first I thought that the phone was trying to synch my gmail contacts with my facebook contacts, but then it hasn't done all of my Facebook contacts that match the contacts in my Gmail.
I'm a bit confused as to how they've got in there.
I've tried resysnching Gmail and Facebook, removed the People widget and re-added it, I've checked everything in my Gmail contacts but can't see anything un-toward, I've tried having background data sync enabled and disabled whilst trying to remove these to no avail.
I still can't seem to remove these 3 duplicate entries.
i was wondering if it is possible to get rid of the voicemail from my people widget. i have the single line it has voicemail at the top which means i only have space for 2 other contacts without having to scroll down?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have lost a couple of pictures from the people widget yet the photos have not been deleted from the phone.When I view the relevant contacts in people or receive a text then the relevant photo appears at the side of the contact but not in the widget.
View 1 Replies View RelatedStrange thing has happened since the upgrade. I added the people widget to a screen in the large (9x9) style. The group I choose all have photos for each contact. If I view them in the people group listing, all the photos show next to the name. If I view the individual contacts the photos are there.
But only half the photos show in the widget view - anyone know what's going on? I can't work out what the difference could be between the contacts, there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.
Since updating my Desire to 2.2 my people widget no longer show me if people in my favorite group have updated their status! It use to show a green spot by the name with number within it. Has anyone else notice this since updating? This feature was really useful!
View 2 Replies View RelatedUsing Launcher Pro so I can't use HTC widgets, and the stock HTC one was very nice. What's the best alternative, preferably FREE
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm a long time user of LauncherPro on the Moment and though Sense is fine, I'd like to go back. The one thing I'm missing is some sort of widget or shortcut to toggle 4G on my Evo. I've searched the market and frankly, I'm not paying a buck for a simple widget. It might be worth a quarter to me, but not a dollar. Ideally, I'd love something like the notification setup from the Epics touch wiz which would be worth some $$$ to me. Anyone know a free or cheap alternative?
View 35 Replies View RelatedIs there any good alternative for the Astrid tasks app? I just need a widget on my homescreen like Astrid to show tasks. The problem with Astrid is that it has a backup process which keeps running in the background even when I disable backups. (See for yourself, in running processes).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI tried out Flyscreen the other day and found its card-based flipping through rss/facebook/twitter/weather to be very fluid and pretty. The trouble is, I don't really want that as my lockscreen (besides which, it doesn't seem to truly lock the screen). Does anyone know of a similar app that creates a widget I can flip through in a similar way on a homescreen?

View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to sort the HTC People Widget other than alphabetically? Or, is there a way to place a person shortcut on the home screen with a larger thumbnail (like the size of the ones in the People widget)?
View 4 Replies View RelatedOne of the things my wife is frustrated with on her new Hero is that the People Widget only allows you to place a shortcut for one form of communication for each individual contact. I know the phone holds many more than just this 'default' form of contact you pick when selecting the person, but is there a way to have the People Widget take you to the person's contact page rather than directly to calling them, messaging them or emailing them?

View 6 Replies View RelatedAnyone know why my contacts pictures wouldnt be show in my People widget, im using the single line widget and none of my pictures linked with FB are showing up they are just blank, but when i go to the actual list of contacts, and to my favorites, the pictures are there next to the names. I used it before and it worked fine, i recently wiped my phone and now they arent working.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have seen the new HTC Droid Eris commercial a few times and it seems to fudge the truth when using the HTC people widget. You can clearly see in the commercial someone clicking on a person from the HTC people widget. However, after they click the person it brings up the person's information, as opposed to performing the default action specified for the contact. From my tinkering with this widget, it seems that you cannot actually perform the action they show in the commercial.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI just installed the froyo leak and bought launcher pro plus. When I use the messaging and people widget the contact pictures don't show but under my contact list it shows the pictures. So im wondering if you guys have any solutions. Also under the social networking logo widget when I resize it it doesn't show the text, only a blurry picture. So im wondering if you guys have any solutions?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI removed the People widget. From the main screen, scroll right. Hold down the People widget and remove it. I was getting 10 hours daily off a full charge. Today I got up to 14. Normally I lose 10% per hour. In the morning, I was losing 5%. I was hoping to double my 10 hours and get to 20 but I did make it to 14.
I was also losing 15-20% in the first hour battery drain. After removing the people widget, I only lost 3%! Previously, I tried everything. Turned off GPS, formatted SD card, hard reset, changed from GSM to CDMA, charging while the phone was off/on repeatedly. I have hardware version 003.
Got my legend today and loving it! the only problem i have at the minute is that the 'people' widget doesn't want to find any of my contacts when I search for them.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two contacts in there currently and want to get rid of them and start over. Can't figure out any way to do it. I even went into 'manage applications' and found the widget and cleared the cache and data and the dang thing still shows the same two contacts that I want to get rid of. This widget is pretty useless. Can't put in multiple instances of the same contact (like one for cell and one for home), yet you also can't seem to just set it to take you to their contact info when you click on a person - you have to choose a default.
View 15 Replies View RelatedI love my Desire, but the massive receptions problems, unreliable bluetooth, and other problems and bugs are making me consider alternatives. I will wait for Froyo in the hope that it fixes the problems. If not I will be exchanging the Desire for something else on Orange UK network. So what are worthwhile competitors to the Desire (Android OS of course). Will the HTC EVO be available? Are the Samsung Galaxy or Sony X10 be viable alternatives? Any good suggestions for other phones (excluding the Nexus One) that could match up to the Desire without having such a large number of bugs/problems?
View 19 Replies View RelatedI linked my gmail with my phone and ended up with so many contacts from random emails that its rediculous. Old craigslist ads are now in my contact list.I would like to have a contact with their mobile, home, emails, etc as one contact not 3,4 or 5.Also, I selected which ones I wanted before the link and I ended up will all of them.Finally, the people widget would be great if you didnt have to select a default action. I might text the same person alot but how do I call or email them from the widget if they have a default command?

I thought I'd start a thread discussing the different launchers people use on their Desire's.I personally think that HTC Sense's 'leap' view and HTC widgets are irreplaceable. However, if I ever feel like a change, I'd most likely give ADW a go.What launcher do you use on your Desire?

View 11 Replies View RelatedI searched and could not find relevant results...
Right now I can only see one person I'm following in the widget, is there a way to see tweets from everyone within the widget? I checked settings, but no such luck.
Also, is it another battery drainer similar to the weather and people widget?
How can you make it so when you tap on a favorite person in the widget it gives you the choice to call or or sms?
