Yesterday i noticed a new app from SE, called Life contacts beta.
Like described on market:
life.contacts makes your communication fast, simple and pretty. The widget will show pictures of your most frequently used contacts right on your homescreen. And just tap a picture to get in touch.
The widget will learn how you communicate and select contacts based on that. This way you will always have your most relevant contacts in your widget.

It looks great using it for a while now, but the two bigger images are on low quality
They're determined by the quality of your contact image... if you've pulled down a facebook thumbnail image then it will be..
I tried login with my Facebook account but it was not able to login, I have no problem to login with my Google account.
Anyone knows why?

Did you try it with SE Home?
the idea is great but the app is evil, gives med 2x entries of every number of the contacts that appear in the life.contact widget, extremly anoying.

Don't have this all contact shows one time :S
What i noticed is that it makes the launcher slow, it lags when sliding the screens, removing the widget helps.
THe widget fills only half the screen. Wondering if its possible for it to take up the whole screen, all with my fav contacts or recently dialed etc. they should have these options.
The widget wont show images on my Xperia Arc... Any ideas what it could be?
I have synced it to facebook, but still without any luck

Just tried that, and without any luck.
Last time I used it only one of my friends had a image on there, the rest were blank...
Today I uninstalled the app and re-installed it, and now no one has a image. Can it be that my contacts have a facebook profile picture?

How do I do that?
Is anyone else seeing this problem? I don't get any notifications when someone posts on my wall or anything.
Sent from my EVO 3D using XDA App
i noticed that also but then i checked under sync and it was set to ONCE A DAY
Yeah but on my wife's epic its instant. Also sync is not push, so the sync time has nothing to do with the notifications. In fact the sync time is just for the news feed
Sent from my EVO 3D using XDA App
Touch wiz and Sense aren't the same, so touchwiz might have push facebook notifications. Do you have the facebook market app installed?
u need the facebook for android app, the built in fb for sense just updates friend stream and contacts
Facebook app + notifications = fail. They don't work half the time.. Google it. Very very common problem..
It always works on my widest phone the epic and its just the app that does it. I have the app and have all my settings on Facebook.com and my EVO the same as hers. Still it does not work yet it always works on hers.

Do you have Facebook for sense active too? I didn't activate it cause I hated the way it sync'd on my EVO 4G
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
yes facebook and facebook for htc sense are both on sync
What are your setting for what all is sync'ed cause mine still isn't instant
Also are your notifications instant?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Well like stated above you usually never get the push notifications on time anyways

Agreed. Friendcaster is much better. Notifcations pop up, can tag photos, etc...
King Ty so much for your help can I ask one more thing of you? What are you notification settings inside the Facebook app? Thx again
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I was about to make a new thread until I saw this.
Anyone else really upset that there's no fix to this? The Facebook app is absolute garbage without push notifications. What gets me is that the app was SUPPOSED to support it a while ago, but it clearly doesn't work and Facebook doesn't seem to be doing anything about it. Funny, because the Google+ app handles push notifications perfectly
I've done a lot of research and it honestly seems as though MOST people don't know what exactly push notifications are. You read a lot of 'well I get them almost right away" or 'I get them almost instantly'. Haha with push you're supposed to get them immediately, no questions asked You shouldn't have to wait for your phone, or the app to sync with Facebook's servers. Facebook servers tell your phone immediately as soon as there's a change.
There has to be something we can do to fix this. Sorry I'm just really bothered by it LOL
I have the Evo 4g and i no longer get push notifications. I though it had something to do with my Facebook account but recently purchases a htc amaze and sg2 and both of those phone received instant notifications. I since returned both so now i am stuck with no or very late notifications.
So I finally decided on the Rezound tonight, and after several hours of toying with it... There is no Peep app anymore. It's in the system folder, and FriendStream updates Twitter and everything, but there's no standalone app anymore. Yes, Peep was really buggy, but I liked it. (On the Incredible, anyway.)
Can anybody shed some light on where it went?
Yeah for some odd reason, Peep doesn't appear in my application launcher either... The only way I've been able to access it is by placing the FriendStream widget on one of my homescreens, then clicking the right arrow ">" button to get into the Peep application.
if you install a 3rd party launcher can you see it? HTC blocks some apps in the drawer.

Tried ADW EX, and Go Launcher just now. Peep didn't show up, but it did show the Mirror app. Out of all the things HTC could have taken out to slim down Sense, and they drop a Twitter app and the flashlight? Not the best development choice.

No kidding lol. Flashlight would have been nice.
Folder organizer apps show those apps like peep, mirror, etc that aren't in the app drawer

Think they dropped those two because of people running them and then complaining about battery life?

Possibly. But they didn't remove Peep, they just removed the shortcut to it. So it'll still drain just as much battery. Like someone else said, you can get to it from the widget.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW
If anyone else cared about this quite as much as me, you can get a shortcut to peep by creating a shortcut to friend stream. Not the app, but a shortcut. Then you'll be able to select Twitter and it functions just like it used to.

Open your regular mail app(NOT the gmail app, but make sure you are on your gmail account obviously), then click on the "menu" button, then click "settings", then click "general settings", and then you'll see a check box that says "make default account"
No luck. Clearing defaults button appeared to initially work until I tested it, no prompt for action, went straight to yahoo. Second option didn't work either, general settings for mail shows a greyed out checkmark for default app and does not allow me to uncheck it, no option for default in gmail.

Mine is set to "compose mail" under app associations. I dont use the gmail app so I didnt check the compose gmail option. The way I suggested earlier should have worked for you. Thats really weird. Did you do the same steps I listed for your other email accounts to make sure that one of them wasnt checked off as the default account?
Either way, as long as your problem is resolved its all good. Im just curious as to why the other way wouldnt work.

Works fine for me.
Under WidgetLocker settings, there is an entry for "Unread Counts". I turned that on and enabled TeslaUnread. From there I went to the "TeslaUnread Settings" and checked SMS, MissedCalls, and Gmail. (They might have been checked by default; in any case, check the ones you want to use.)
Then I put the icon for the respective apps on my WidgetLocker screen.
Hope that helps. If not, let me know more specifics and I'll try to help.

Long press on the WL tool (edit) screen then application. That'll give you the icon just like on your homescreen.

Hm, where in the app list can be found widgetlocker "notification bubble"? All I see is just app icon, but that don't give you missed calls/SMS count on lockscreen.
I also looked in shortcuts/widgets....but can't find Tesla notifications anywhere.
Of course I set Tesla unread as default under Unread counts in WL.
EDIT: Ok, I found... I realised that main app (SMS, phone, etc) get a badge.
Moved to Q&A
wrong app
Hi! So I've bought Nova launcher and installed Tesla unread. It's cool, but tesla puts missed calls counter on "Contacts" app icon, not on "Phone". It's not that bad, but still makes me fill uncomfortable. Is there way to fix it?
