life.contacts beta for Android
The widget will learn how you communicate and select contacts based on that. This way you will always have your most relevant contacts in your widget.
Get online with life.contacts and get even more features:
- Facebook pictures -
If you don't have pictures of your contacts, life.contacts can do the job for you by getting pictures from Facebook and populate the widget.
- Notifications -
Get notified via e-mail about missed calls/SMS when away from the phone. Then pick up the conversation on any preferred media.
- Safeguard your data -
When using online mode your data is also securely stored on our servers. If anything happens to your phone of if you change phones, you can always get your widget back. Like an online backup.
TIP:
Images quality: Retrieved Facebook pictures are 50x50 pixels and will be “fuzzy” when scaled up. For best image quality in our widgets and a better phone experience in general, add a picture in Google Contacts for your most used contacts.
Facebook sync issues: You must have a contact with a name that matches your friend’s name on Facebook for sync to work.
Contact ranking: Starred contacts get higher priority when we rank your calls and SMS’s.
This application is only availible in English.

The app is provided to you without warranty and we reserve us the right to close it down but that depends on your feedback of course. If you want us to continue, we will.
Worked just as described... For the first half hour... Then it lost all the images for contacts that had a facebook account, and won't get them back!
The major missing feature for me is lack of one-click dial
Come on guys... Such a great app but stopped working on last update... Fix it guys...
Update to make us upgrade concidering it was a beta for people trying out should of got it free or at discount
I wonder what í´ll use if i need to do factory reset and reinstall apps
Loved the widget, but sudden disable was an instant uninstall!
Used to be the centrepiece of my homescreen. Now replaced by a new HORRIBLE looking app.
Still love it despite the lack of support
A rare instance where the upgrade is way worse...
It's not great anymore...
This widget will not run. It tells you you need an upgrade to their new "Top Contact" app. When you click OK, it fails to get the upgrade. You end up with a dead widget. Shame on you Sony. Shame....
A great Application.. bt guys pls dnt update the same
Wow can't believe they had an amazing app and now it's gone.

I have sony xperia z ultra, and this widget is not working any more. Please tell me what is other option or when will u fix this one.
Stop working out the last up. Sucks give me the old one back
The app to take place of this one looks horrific
I would have gave it a 4 or 5 but it was replaced and no longer supported. Now very querky and keeps telling me to upgrade. Real
But worked pretty well.
I have contact pictures for the majority of people I talk to. It doesn't show the photo nor their name. Just has their number. Please fix, it was a lot better before it became this Crap called "Top Contacts".
This was a great widget. 'Upgrade' has ruined it.
Original app was the greatest this new version is kaka
A great Application.. bt guys pls dnt update the same
Why on earth are you disabling an application and forcing us top use another one? Read your Google agreement. That's a disgrace.
Shame as it was a great app. Uninstalled and haven't opted for its replacement.

I'm so bummed! This was my favorite contact app and it no longer works!!! ugh!!
Much better if i can choose the contacts myself
Let see...
Was a great app. It is now unsupported and superceded by "top contacts". Just downloaded top contacts and it looks much worse :(
Please update.
Wow can't believe they had an amazing app and now it's gone.
Nice app but now is old... For my old xperia arc is still good:-)
Was a great widget until now, it's now useless as the upgrade to top contacts widget looks no where near as good.
The widget is just perfect, but I would like to have an option of sending text to the person instead if calling. I hope this app gets the feature soon.
Please return the full functionality or change the Top Contacts app to look like life.contacts! The nex design sux big time!
Sony developed an upgrade and this version doesn't work anymore in Xperia X8 (Android 2.1). Top contacts doesn't work without 2.2 and up! Why can't keep this one working for smartphones that can't upgrade to newer Android versions? Sucks! THanks a lot,Sony!
I really liked this widget. However, the recent "update" is a simply disables it and advises users to switch to "top contacts" which is nowhere as good. Sadly I fear the developer will not read these reviews.
Was my favorite widget, but it has been replaced with Top Contacts, a similar app with negative visual appeal. This 'upgrade' is nothing short of an epic failure - when the beta exceeds the release version. Thank you, Sony.

Now just shows a message telling you to upgrade to "top contacts" app, which does pretty much the same thing but looks worse. :-(
