JohnnytheK, I am very happy for you. I've watched you over the recent several weeks and more, and felt your frustration with the Razr. I know in my heart that the phone is a good device and that it shouldn't be giving you all that grief - especially since mine and many others' have been nothing less than stellar (no reflection on you, mind you
). I am very hopeful that this new version of the OS will give you the phone you wanted (and deserved), from the beginning. :hail:
Please feel free to call on me or any of the other Rescue Squad, Moderators or Super Moderators if you find yourself dealing with issues again. I want you to be happy and proud of your phone, and perhaps you'll be able to then help others who've suffered some of your past experiences too.
Good luck! :biggrin:

Favorite Contacts Bar not working
Hey Guys, first post here, but been lurking around for quite some time now. I can normally find the answers to my questions by reading through the various forums but I've hit a roadblock on this one.
I have the Razr Maxx and just today installed the OTA JB update. Everything went smooth and it works great, thank you FoxKat and all others who helped!
FoxKat, I followed your instructions to install the alternate home screen in order to use the circle widget, and that all works great but I cannot get my Favorite Contacts to work right now. After I installed the Fav Contacts widget onto my home screen it will not pull down as it normally does. I have the four contacts with the pics as they should be but that's all I can see. The contacts page will not open up when I swipe down on it. If I use the original home screen, then it all works fine, but then I don't have the circle widgets.
Anyone else run into this problem?
Thanks...RC

OK, so the problem may be which "Favorite contacts" app you are selecting for the widget to operate under.
See the screen shots below. (give me a min to post).
The first image is the screen before adding the widget:
This next screen is the Widget section showing TWO Favorite Contacts widgets (strange...they both work the same for me);
This next screen is the one that pops up after I drag that widget (either one) to the desktop. Here's where I found out that one of the two choices on this next screen, the one that has the green Icon doesn't, work doesn't work for the pull-down but only gives access to the first 4 showing in the widget. But the RED one does, and lets me pull down the contacts widget;
And here's the widget after having been added to my screen and having been pulled down;
So clearly it works, at least for me. YRMV, but if you choose the Red "Book" Icon for Favorite contacts, it will hopefully work for you too! Let us know. :biggrin:

Interesting, as I only have the one Fav Contacts widget to choose from.
I see you have the Go Launcher. Maybe the second one you have is from that??...just a wag on my part.

By the way, I can drag the fav contacts widget out to the home screen normally and I get the menu that opens up for me to choose the fav contacts from the list...just as you show with your screen shot above. Then the widget is displayed on the home screen where I dragged it to. It looks perfectly normal with the pics for the first four contacts. I can tap on any of those four and their numbers pop up like normal. I just cannot get the swipe down gesture to work to open up the rest of the contacts.
If I switch back to the first (original) home screen it all works normal...except of course the circles widget doesn't work now with this home screen.
Weird.

I have the go launcher but an not using it. In fact, I'll uninstall it now and see if things change.

I am running the same set up but only have the one favorite contacts widget to choose from (the green one). When I put it on my home screen I see the first 4 contacts with a note over the top of them to pull down to open. The pull down to open note will not go away and I cannot pull the widget down. The widget works as normal when tapping on one of the first 4 contacts.

Ok, I found the favorites contact widget apk from the Razr M and installed it. Turns out this is the red widget referenced above. This widget works well for me. I found the link on xda (linked below) post #173:
Razr M Launcher,Circle Widgets , Notification Count, and few stock app on Raz - Page 18 - xda-developers
Here is the actual link to the file:
