Hello,
Since I updated to 1.8 Kola Nut, I am no longer able to move the widgets phone contacts to the home screen.
There are no problems with other types of widgets (eg facebook messenger, camera, SMS / MMS, etc âŚ). The problem is only with widgets telephone contacts âŚ
Is there a solution?
Thank you,
Hugues
Hi,
what exactly is the problem, is an error message displayed?

Hi,
The message says âthe widget is well sent to the home screenâ⌠But,
in fact, the widget never arrive.
Iâve tried many times with different contacts and it never works.
No, I canât reproduce it. Just tryed to add Contact Widgets to my Homescreen and it worked fine. Do you have tried to clear the Contacts App cache? Thats the only idea I have.
regards,
Shiny
Hi,
And how to clear that?
system settings > apps > scroll to contacts, tap it > clear cache
Hi,
The cache was empty âŚ
Any other idea ?
do you use a custom launcher? because i donât remember the fairphone launcher to display messages when widgets were successfully added to the screen.
but sorry no ideas.
Hi,
No, unfortunately, I have no solution âŚ
Hi,
I only have the original custom launcher from fairphone.
I changed nothing.
Ok, I know what you mean now!!!
See this:
This sentence rang the bell for me! Ok, what you did, is that you went to the contacts app, clicked on a contact and then you wanted to place it on the home screen. This doesnât work at the moment, and hopefully will be solved in the next update.
Solution for you is: Long press on the home screen, then select widgets and choose âcontactâ. You will be prompted to select a contact. It will then appear on the homescreen.
Does it work for you?
Hey,
Youâre the best !
It works perfectly. Thank you.
It will helps me everyday with my work contacts I call several times a day.
Thank you very much Stephan.
Glad this worked for you!
PS.: Itâs Ste f an.
