Palm’s update for WebOS 1.3.1 has introduced a bug that will affect all users of Quick Dialer that upgrade to WebOS 1.3.1. The bug prevents applications from displaying the contact images. This was likely introduced as part of the security improvements included in 1.3.1.
Palm notified me on 11/13/09 that they introduced a bug in 1.3.1 that breaks this and other similar apps that display contact images. They also stated it will be corrected in the next available WebOS update. Thank you for patience with the issue, it is just as upsetting to me.
For more information, please see Palm’s official release notes for 1.3.1, which state in the Known Issues section:
Third-party apps cannot display contact photos directly from the locations returned by the People Picker. This bug will be fixed in a subsequent webOS release. If you are participating in the e-commerce beta program and your app is affected by this issue, please contact your Palm account manager.
Again, thank you for patience with the issue. We will provide a fix as soon as something becomes available.
Thanks,
Matthew
