Re: Droid 4 Contact Widget Question

The contact widget for the Droid 4 holds only 4 contacts to put on your home screen. It shows it is a 4x1, meaning 4 contacts across with 1 row. I would like to have a second row, making it an 4x2. Can this be done?

star_gazer1 Hello, I used to have that phone! If you are referring to the icons that are for your frequently called contacts, then I am not sure if the amount of contact icons (the 4 boxes with people inside) can be altered. You may want to confirm this with Motorola at 800-734-5870.

Unable to see 'contacts widget' on homescreen - N8

Hi all,
When I turned my phone on today (N8), the contacts widget was not on my home screen, as before. Instead there was just a blank area. When I click on this area, it gives me the optin to remove, so as to suggest that there is a widget there. When I remove it and then select fav contacts widget in the widget list, there is just a blank area again.
I did sync my contacts and back up last night...
Can anyone be of help?
Thanks

If a problem returns after data is restored, then it is often corruption in the user data which causes this. Restoring the data without ticking the "Settings" option can help, otherwise the corruption could be in the particular data affected by the issue, in this case contacts.

How do I reinstall/fix stock Contacts widget?

I have a LG Revolution running Android 2.3.6, the latest software I believe. The stock "Contacts" widget started to act up from few weeks ago. After
I select the "Contacts" widget and try to select on any of the contact entry, the widget crashes, with a error message such as the following pop up:
Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
"Force close"
Reboot doesn't solve the problem.
Has anyone else seen the same? Since this is the stock widget coming with the OS, I am not sure how to reinstall the widget. I sure hope I don't have to
reinstall the OS.
Any info. would be appreciated!

Hi ttz. We don't want your widgets acting up, so let's see how to get it acting right. With a stock widget, there really isn't a way to uninstall it, but you can try to remove http://vz.to/12Yeqlp then readd http://vz.to/13ccQvd the widget. Many times something this simple can help to reload the phone's connection to the widget and get you back to your helpful shortcut. The most recent software update, VS910ZVB, that came out at the end of April had a lot of fantastic updates that may result in the need to simply reload a little of your information. Try the steps at http://vz.to/ykQROO to make sure your software is as up-to-date as possible.
Please let me know if the trouble continues.
Thank you

Some contacts have question marks inserted

So I have been trying to find a happy solution for automatic syncing between my mac, my blackberry and google contacts. I am trying to do this so that I can have two phones address books stay synced. Unfortunately somewhere in trying to make this work a large portion of my contacts were changed. The main change is that thy now have 2 question marks after the first name and after the last name of the contact. Many of these also had question marks inserted after the street address, city, state and zip code. I have gone through and edited out everything on my mac address book but I still get the question marks appearing on my blackberry when I resync. I have tried missing sync, google sync, the blackberry sync program and they all end up transferring contacts with question marks

I have the same problem. It's an issue with google sync and the blackberries. I have yet to find a solution. It's very frustrating because this makes voice dialing from my address book impossible. I've tried editing the contacts, but that doesn't work either. The only thing that works is creating the contact on the blackberry, but I am not going to do this for 150+ contacts, emails, phones, etc, etc...

N97 - Contacts Widget Photo Bug

Discovered another bug *sigh* with my N97,
My contacts widget started not displaying the photos of the listed contact favourites. The names of the contacts would be individually displayed but no images. I found this odd, but a re-start usually fixed it.
Now however, a restart does not resolve the issue. I've tried de-listing my favourites and re-listing them, and I've tried the contacts widget II, with no success.
No doubt a re-install of the firmware will fix the issue, but I currently don't have the time to do this.
N97 v12. Yet another bug. Yawn.

You can try the following, by me it had helped everytime.
Remove your favourites widget from the homescreen, then restart your phone and after restart, add your favourites to the homescreen again.
Hope this helpf for you too, by me it works on V11.

Contacts Widget not functioning properly

A search of contacts in the dashboard contacts widget returns no matching contacts even though the searched contacts are available in the main contacts application. I think i may have denied the widget access to my contacts list. Is there a way to turn it back on and functioning again?

Once you Open System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Privacy > Contacts and press Dashboard.
Check or uncheck the Dashboard box, and then choose "Quit Now". Depending on whether it was checked or unchecked originally, you want to end up with it checked. Once you check it and choose "Quit Now", it should work in Dashboard.
I don't know what they mean by "Quit Now" or "Later", but choosing "Quit Now" worked.
Hope this helps.

Can I resize the Favorite Contact widgets om the homescreen?

Just got the Maxx. I love it! However, I'm not impressed with the Favorite Contact Widget. I only need 2 and I'd like them to be larger. I don't like the size and the fact that they're connected. Anyone know how to modify them?

You can't modify that widget the way you want, but, since you only want two, maybe an alternative would be a separate widget for calling (texting) each of them?
Long press on the home screen, select Shortcut>App Actions>Direct Dial (or Direct Message) and then your contact.
Would that work for you?

Transfer Facebook contact photos to Droid Maxx contact list

My phone and Facebook are in Sync as far as sharing pictures, etc. However, I can't figure out how to get my facebook friend pictures to post to my Droid Maxx contact list. Anyone know how to do this?

I know its important to have your pictures display on your social media sites and your contact list drdobbs83. You can try the steps below to help with this option.
• From a home screen, select People (located at the bottom).
If unavailable, navigate: Apps > People .
• From the Groups tab, select the group to display.
Below is another set of steps using the contacts application.
The Contacts application uses an intelligent merge feature to combine contact information from various sources (Gmail, Microsoft® Exchange, Facebook, new entries, etc.). If contact information was joined in error, the information can be separated back into individual contacts.
• From a home screen, select People (located at the bottom).
If unavailable, navigate: Apps > People
• From the All contacts tab (located at the top), select a contact.
• Select Menu (located in the upper right).
• Select Edit.
• Select Menu .
• Select Join or separate
Please keep us posted.

Droid command center widget

My droid command center widget has disappeared, how do I get it back?

corrie67,
Sorry to hear that the app vanished on you. On most devices you would touch the app launcher on the bottom center of your home screen, select widget in the upper left and the touch and drag the widget back to the screen you want it on. Or touch and hold the home screen until you get a pop-up and select add widget and select the command center widget. We can provide specific instructions for your phone. What model Droid do you have?

Calendar and Contact Sync question

I have been playing around with my droid 2 global for about a month now and just decided to see if I could get the contacts in my phone synced to my gmail. I have a lot of phone numbers in my phone but are not in my gmail account. The question is can I send my contacts in my phone to my gmail account? My assumption, just from what I have noticed, is that the droid 2 only has the ability to pull from the account not push to it. Is that a wrong assumption?
On to the calendar question. I have multiple calendars setup on my gmail account (mlb, nfl, college football, etc). For some reason the only calendar that syncs up is the US Holidays calendar. Is it possible to get the other calendars to sync with the droid calendar? If this is possible could someone please walk me through the process.
I have poked around on couple forums trying to solve these issue but have not seen anything addressing my questions, unless I have overlooked it.
Thanks,

You are able to export your contacts and import them to your Gmail account. Below is a very good post that will provide you the steps to export the contacts using Backup Assistant and then import them to your Gmail account.
http://community.vzw.com/t5/DROID-Incredible-by-HTC/export-contacts-to-gmail/m-p/285574/highlight/true#M12187
Please note, you must have Backup Assistant on your device to be able to export the contacts.
In regards to the calendar, you can view other calendars by following the steps listed below:
1. Select the Calendar icon
2. Select Menu
3. Select More
4. Select Calendars
5. Select the calendars that you want to display

Trying to use the contact widget inside muse

Hi,
I am building a site and require a contact form for feedback etc and I am trying to use the contact form that comes with muse. All seems ok, ie the form appears correctly on my test website, the recapure text is there to copy, but when I try to submit an email from the form, nothing happens.. I have the BC CAPTURE toggle set true, on the widget, and enter the required text correctly,
My question is, is it not working because I have a webbasics package given to me as a CC member and I have to upgrade to webbasics+ for this form to work as it needs email and that is only made available to webbasics+ members and above ??
Thanks
I had a further thought, just wondering if its because the site isn't yet live and needs to be live for the form to work.... I get "server encounterd an error" message when I press the "submit" button. ???
More information
Hmm, just tried with a live site and all I get is Red text saying required, the text is entered as shown, with and without spaces and still nothing happens...

Hi
Please provide the site url or page url where the form is inserted.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Droid Bionic Contacts

Alright, so if this isnt in the correct section, i apologize. here is the problem...first off the bionic has been an awesome phone for the things that i use it for...im very pleased with it so far. the only issue i have is that when they brought my contacts over from my OG droid to the bionic...i ended up with most of my contacts being double contacts. the first one will be the one from my old phone with the persons correct phone number, and the second will have sometimes their right number but also old numbers of theirs that i had deleted up to 2 years ago. there are also contacts on there that i had deleted altogether in the past two years. i tried to unsync all the other accounts associated with the phone and restarting (yahoo, gmail, and facebook) but nothing happened. i know its not from those though because some of the number are old work numbers of fire stations around the city that i know for sure i dont have on my yahoo, gmail or facebook. somehow they were brought over from the old phones memory from way back when. when i try to delete them, i get down about 8-10 contacts in and the phone kinda freezes and then replaces them all back. i have triend this 4 or 5 times with the same result. i took it to the store today and the lady that helped me transfer the onfo yesterday...very nice woman by the way...said she didnt know and that i could call tech support and they would probably be able to figure it out right away. i called but you cant call from the number that is affected and its rush hour so i didnt want to drive to a verizon store that had a tech support office. my fiancee is at work for the night so i dont have another phone to call from. i saw that there were verizon employees on here answering questions so i figured id post it here and see if i can get it resolved today. if not, i'll drive to the tech center tomorrow. ive tried a few different things on the phone to get rid of them but havent had any luck.. i dont know if this is just an easy fix or something else...or if other people have had this same problem. thanks for any assistance in advance.

I am having the same issue as others. I'm coming over from a BB where the VZW rep transferred the contacts for me. Once I setup my e-mail accounts, FB, etc. I started having duplicate contacts. At first, I was able to straighten this out by using the Display option under contacts. This only temporarily solved the problem. All of the duplicates have returned, except now the information within each contact has begun to duplicate. For instance, I have a contact that I originally had on my phone and nowhere else. I had notes about that particular contact and now those notes have duplicated themselves within that contact literally 100's of times! I have tried to edit this contact directly from the phone to no avail. Please look into this and provide a fix. I'm seeing this type of error reported over several different Android forums and nobody has a solution that has solved this issue yet. It keeps coming back. This is extremely frustrating when you need to actually use the phone for it's main intention, a phone.

New Droid X Owner with questions

I was able to upgrade early, so I dumped the Storm and got the Droid X on Saturday. Honestly, I wasn't very happy at first, and I'm still not 100% satisfied, but it's getting much better. Although the Storm was frustrating, there were a few things I really liked, and missed not having on the X. One thing was the ability to simply tap the screen to "wake up" the phone. With the X, it's a bit troublesome to press a hard key, then have to slide to open. Is there some way to "wake up" the X with just a tap, or at least get rid of the "slide to open" thing?    I heard Launcher Pro might do that, but I cannot open that app (nor the other one that was recommended).
Secondly, I tried to use a pic as the wallpaper on the home screen, but it stretched over all seven home screens. Is there some way to use one of my pictures as the wallpaper?
On the Storm, I needed to "Force Close" each app, webpage, or anything else, by going to the menu and scrolling to "Close". Otherwise, they would keep running in the background. On the X, I've been using the "Back" key. Does this 'close" the application or browser?
Is there some way to save apps on to the SD card?   Or is this necessary? On the Storm, I added only about five apps and the device memory was pretty much full.
What are some good productivity apps?
What are some ideas about what to put on the other six home screens?    I'm a little overwhelmed with the possibilities!
I have corporate email and calendar on the X, but I can't get my corporate calendar to sync with my personal calendar. I have to check two calendars. Is there any way to have business appts and personal appts show on one calendar?
Some other issues I'm having:
1. I've had the phone for three days, and it has suddenly powered off and automatically came back on four times. I'm thinking it was maybe because I was doing too much with it on the first day or two. It hasn't done it today.
2. Battery life is the worst on any phone I have ever had. Again, maybe because I've been using it and trying out all the features so much lately.
Some great things:
1. Love the screen size. It's like having a mini "iPad"
2. SWYPE!!! I thought I would use the Voice to Text more often, but Swype is fantastic. My boss and co-workers were amazed. (My boss immediately looked for an app to do this on his iPhone. He couldn't find one.)
3. Caller ID as 'ringtone'. I didn't know it was set for this, so imagine my surprise when I heard this computerized, feminine voice saying "Phone call from RB".
4. The speed! Downloading and installing apps on the Storm would take several minutes (if at all). Now, it takes only seconds! Webpages load fast and clear!
5. A camera that actually works when I press the button!
Sorry for all the questions y'all, but I haven't been able to find any answers in my online searches. Thanks in advance for your help!

You can use NoLock, it does well to disable lockscreen on device wakeup but usually wont bypass lock screen at startup. The wake up by screen touch is a bad ideal anyway, if in pocket what would stop accidental program run and accidental calls.
LauncherPro does not bypass the lock screen in any way but it is a nice screen replacement.
If LauncherPro does not run I suggest a restart of device, it should auto run after restart.
Secondly, I tried to use a pic as the wallpaper on the home screen, but it stretched over all seven home screens. Is there some way to use one of my pictures as the wallpaper?
LauncherPro gives you the option to disable scrolling wallpaper, but also you will have to modify the image to the screen size to make sure image is center the way you want it.
On the Storm, I needed to "Force Close" each app, webpage, or anything else, by going to the menu and scrolling to "Close". Otherwise, they would keep running in the background. On the X, I've been using the "Back" key. Does this 'close" the application or browser?
Download Advance Task Manager...   Make sure to exclude OS files from auto close and set to close on sleep state.
Is there some way to save apps on to the SD card?   Or is this necessary? On the Storm, I added only about five apps and the device memory was pretty much full.
If the application supports saving to SD there will be a option under Setting > Application > Manage Applications ? App Name..
What are some good productivity apps?
I don't think this can be a easy question this question because there is so many helpful apps but each on ia a user preference.
What are some ideas about what to put on the other six home screens?    I'm a little overwhelmed with the possibilities!
I'm not using 6 pages but here some examples of my test unit ....

Sounds like you have a incompatible app maybe and is getting a force closed situation that is making device restart... Check all your apps by uninstalling them one by one and see if issue resolves itself, you may want to watch the habit of installing to many apps... The more apps you have, means the better chance on incompatiblites.
2. Battery life is the worst on any phone I have ever had. Again, maybe because I've been using it and trying out all the features so much lately.
Battery life on a smart-phone will always be different than a BB because the device is a more powerful device, its like comparing a pda to a desktop... Task Killer and setting email to not to have all accounts to instant push because that requires the device to waste a large amount of power retrieving email and staying connected to web.
Some great things:
1. Love the screen size. It's like having a mini "iPad"

Droid X Contacts Problem

This problem has to do with Contacts being displayed consistently between the various APS that use them. These all worked fine and as expected until I shut down the phone. The problem started and remains after turning the phone back on. All my contacts were synced from my BlackBerry Tour by a Verizon Wireless technician at the time of the Driod X purchase.
Examples of the problems I having are:
Only a few contacts (mostly the defaults contacts I believe) are displayed when I launch the Contacts app. All Contacts was selected by default, and changing the selection to Favorites or Phone Contacts both came up empty. But when I press the Phone icon to make a call, and touch to display contacts, all my contacts are displayed correctly as Phone Contacts.
The same problem exists attempting to select a Contact to Text. It show my previous contacts that I text with. When I try to bring up my Contacts to text someone else the same few Contacts are displayed and not my Phone Contacts.
Does anyone else have this same problem?

Yes, I do think that we are all in the same boat here! I think Google has to rethink how it handles contacts, and fix this frustrating problem. Contacts on phone should be based on the phone, and not Gmail or anything else. I've never had a problem with contacts on any other phone before in my life!
There was someone who posted they do not have the same problem. My problem started after I powered down the phone I believe. All contact was proper and available when I took the phone out of the store.
I also would like it if we could post the Droid model number and OS version so we can be sure we are all talking about the device setup.
I have:
Driod X
System Version 1.13.516.MB810.Verizon.en.US
Firmware 2.1-update1
Kernel version 2.6.29
Build number VZW
I am not sure what other information is pertinent.
Thank you for all the input!!!
