That's the People (HTC) widget

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Relax... not a big deal.
You by accident... dragged the widget to the trash can.
To get it back...
Touch a blank spot on the screen.. till a widow pops up to add.
Select widgets.. look for the desired widget
Done

TMo TP2 TouchFlo Calendar

Hello,
Need help. On the calendar tab/day, it also shows a weather app at the bottom. How do I get rid of it? It's especially annoying since it's showing New York's weather when I'm in Los Angeles. I even deleted all weather location on the the weather tab, and resetted the ppc.

THANK u Too...Tj
This is a great find. I was having similar issues, but now it says my City name, USA. Is there a way to make the state show ie. Detroit, MI instead of Detroit, USA (or what ever city you choose).
go to settings---Today----items
unselect all the useless items,such as weather etc etc
I'm trying to figure out how to get mine to show!! Any suggestions?
EDIT: Finally figured it out. DUH! LOL

Remove Voicemail Icon

Everytime I put down a widget for friends or coworkers etc... It shows orange voicemail Icon, which I do not want on there.
Is there anyway to remove it, or is it the de-branding lark again?
Any Ideas?
No-one??? this is using the HTC people widget by the way!!!
Is there a way of dragging one of the people out of the widget, instead of binning the whole widget?
I think it might be to do with the type of number you have it stored as.
Go into people, then go to the contact and click menu. Then click more, then choose widget action and select if you want to view contact (i think this is the option causing you grief) call mobile, or new message.
To remove it from favourites on that widget you click the contact in people, then menu and edit, then untick favourites in the group box.
I had the same problem and the only way to remove it is to goldcard and load unbranded rom. Orange really murdered the desire with there crap, who comes up with this **** is what I want to know.
I think i may have solved it, if you fill up the contact board, then click the plus button, add a new contact and it should remove the icon!

[Q] Large contact photo's on homescreen?

Hey all, a while ago I was browsing threads for my old Moto Milestone, and saw a screenshot where the person had large contact icons on his homescreen (about equiv to 1x1 widget per contact). I thought I had read they were using either FolderOptions or BetterCut, but when I try to setup either, the contact photos always come out tiny. Am I messing up the setup of either of these, or could someone who has done this either either program, give me a hand.. Or even could someone point me to a way to do this? I always found the HTC People/LauncherPro Plus one kinda lacking, and REALLY lacks customization.
All I'm really looking for is a Contact photo on my homescreen that when I click it would either popup the little contact slide bar(phone/txt/email/etc) or just take me straight into HTC People contacts. Ability to turn on/off contacts name text would be a bonus!
Any help/app suggestions?
Wow.. 46 views and no one has a suggestion or even a comment?
How about this.. anyone know if it's possible, or what I'd have to hack, to increase the thumbnail size from the original Shortcuts -> Contacts or Shortcuts -> People to increase the size and remove the frame? (either full 1x1 widget size, or even 2x2 would work beautifully)
I believe you can use an app called "desktop visualiser"
Haven't used it for that purpose myself but i don't see why it shouldn't work.
Hope it helps.

OMFG That was EXACTLY what I was trying to find something to do! You are a life-saver.. I had given up finding something to do it, and just started learning to write an app to do it myself LOL Oh well, maybe I'll keep writing and see what I end up with.. but this is seriously the perfect tool for me.. It's gonna take over like 65% of my homescreen space now lol

You mean bookmarks or people (contacts)?
I mean, the screen that originialy are directly to the right of the homescreen. Where you can add up to 9 people. I would like to call that my favorites, but. hehe.
Press and hold on the screen, add the 'People' widget, select the group to be displayed as 'Favourites'
Thank you! :-D

Contacts Widget App - Non Scrolling

As above, I'm looking for a contacts widget that will work with 2.3.3. Does anyone know of any? I've tried a half dozen or so from the market but they either don't work, or don't work the way I want them to.
I'm just looking for a non-scrolling sense type one. I don't want to install any launchers or anything like that, I'm happy with the phone as it is in that respect, so I would rather have a static one.
The closest one to the mark was Contact Widget, it looked the part but was very buggy. It was meant to show 20 contacts at any one time but after I had selected the 20, it then only displayed 4 and pretty much froze. Not sure if that's a 2.3.3 issue or not.
Any recommendations?
If you want one that's non-scrolling, I would suggest not installing anything. Just add shortcuts to your contacts on the home screen. You can also put them into a folder if you so choose.

Thanks for that, 2 years I've been running android and didn't know that lol.
I eventually found and sorted out elixir which does the job nicely.
