I had family & friends set on widget where I just hit pic & dials. Missing after update. Not listed under widgets now (was the "People" widget).
Anyone know how to get it back or if it's called something else?
Ann, I kept hitting reply but wasn't working. Yes that is what I'm looking for but the "Brady Bunch" style. Message was edited by: Howard <Name removed for privacy.>

Open the App drawer > Personalize > scroll down to people > select the widget format you want out of four choices.

Ann, thanks for you patience.
That is exactly how I did it with the old firmware, but after I updated to ICS (Android 4.0), There is no option for "People" in widgets. I've spent hours trying to come through different doors on this issue but to no avail. I'm sure it's something simple. When I click on "Apps Drawer" > I then find "Personalize" > I then select "Widget" (it is one of 3 choices at this point: Widget, App, Shortcut) and from there I find nothing relating to people, address book, nothing. I even looked through "Browse all HTC widgets" Where am I going wrong? Thanks, Howard

My Tbolt has the People widget. I grabbed that screenshot from it plus I walked myself through the directions as I wrote it here.

The 3 X 3 People widget was number 74 of 77 under the "Browse all HTC widgets also for me.
Can you take a screen shot the screen you see in the Widgets view and post it here? Press power and the volume down buttons at the same time for a few seconds to create the screenshots.

Did you disable any of the applications after the update?

I haven't disable anything. As soon as update was finished, I noticed that was one of the things missing. I have been trying ever since to get it back. Before the update the widgets you are referring to were there as that is how I got it in the first place.

Okay. I was just checking a possible reason for the disappearing widgets.
Can you post a screen shot of the widget list where People should be?

Ok....I found solution thanks to all input. I did the path suggested. Like Ann said, there were 2 People. One is the actual list and 2nd is the widget. I had to disable and then enable and it was there. I tried it with other missing widgets (messages) and bingo it works. THANK YOU ALL!

Do you have the People APP on a screen? If not add it, then see if the widget is available

the pic you posted looked like the htc widget section, people should be in the main section, not under htc widgets

i don't have my bolt with me so i'm not exactly sure about these instructions, but try menu, settings, apps, manage apps and select the people app. try clearing the data and see if that brings the widget back.
