Help Contact Widget?

[pCarson92]

Does anyone know of a contact widget app that actually updates pictures? The stock Android shortcut to a contact shows their picture, but it only gets it once - it never updates. For example, if I change their image in my Google contacts, the shortcut keeps the old picture.

maybe try "folder organizer" I think it works.

Trash it and make a new one.

I use the LauncherPro People widget. I don't change profile pics very often, but when I have I'm pretty sure it has updated automatically.

I'll test it shortly and report back.

I use fancy contacts widget and syncmypix. They work great together. I set my syncmypix to be during the evening. Someone updates their facebook pic, it now shows on the contact picture on the widget, which i tap to call them.

The blur contact widget used to update pictures, but for some reason it stopped on mine.

All was a moot point since I started using LauncherPro and that contact widget, since that moto blur widget doesn't really work anymore on that launcher.

However, the LauncherPro widget will only load pictures from the local contact, not the facebook picture. So you need to use an application like Syncmypics to update the pictures. Works like a charm, and most likely, Syncmypics might even work for the stock moto blur widget.

I just confirmed -

I changed a contact picture within Gmail on my PC, then hit the refresh button on my LauncherPro contacts widget about 5 seconds later and the picture updated.
