using the people widget on the hero
 

When using the people widget on the hero, and you select a contact for the first time, it brings up that persons contact card. From there you can select call, email, text, etc. However, once you do this, the default action for that contact is set to whatever you chose the first time the contact card came up. Is there a way to make the default action to always bring up the contact card?

If not, is there an app that will allow you to display a 4x4 grid (or similar) of your favorite contacts and when you click on your contact it will bring up their contact card?

I know you can add -> shortcut -> person, to create your own grid, but the title under their name is "View Dou..."

Thanks

I dont know if its gonna be part of 2.1 or if its part of the 2.1 ROM im running, but when i use the People widget and add contacts to it, it lets me set the default action as 'View Contact' and doesnt change regardless of which action i choose afterwards

Re: using the people widget on the hero
 

Yes, it should be "View Contact Card," "Call," "Email," "Text," etc...view card should be one of the options. If not, try adding the person again. Maybe restart the phone if necessary.

Thanks crashjack. That is good to know. I am gonna wait for the official sprint release of 2.1 so I hope it is in there.

I think we are talking about 2 differnt things or it may just be the difference between 1.5 and 2.1. What I am talking about is under add htc widget -> people. That widget would be great, but when i first added the widget all of my favorite contacts opened up the contact card when i selected them. But it defaults to the last selection (email, phone, message) once I have used it once and there is no way to reset it.

I guess I didn't realize it's a ROM thing. I'm running Fresh "2.1" and it has it. That's why I assumed it was on all of them. Sorry.

Re: using the people widget on the hero
 

no problem, i appreciate the help though.

I am running the what-appears-to-be-official-leak of 2.1 and it DOES allow you to choose View Card as the default. It also allows you to choose more than just your favorites for the widget. I now have a couple of people widgets in my scene for different groups of people. Like it much better!

Re: using the people widget on the hero
 

Thanks for the info. That is a pretty slick way of doing it. I might have time today to try that leaked rom. ? though, is there a performance increase from stock 1.5 to stock 2.1? I thought I remeber reading that somewhere in the wee hours of the night.
