Ive been using the tasks widget from HTC and got a notification that there was an update for it through the htc hub. When I went to the hub to update it, it would not download and install the update correctly. It would say its installing when it was at only 56%?? Or sometimes even less then that and then the download would just disappear. So I thought maybe i should uninstall and reinstall the widget. Once I did it has never been able to fully download and install again. What should I do? And ive tried other task widgets on the android market and nothing else really looks as good or is over complicated for something so simple.
HTC Sense is crap. It tells me updates are available for widgets, yet won't let me update them. It also won't let me download any new ones. My Friends stream no longer auto updates. It has never properly synced my contacts. There is usually one or two missing or a pic is wrong for one or two.

Anyone have a fix to get the new HTC widgets to install correctly on the new dc rom? when i install them from the market i get an error saying its incompatible or something like that. is there a fix? i searched the 2.06 thread with no luck.
they are already in the rom?? sometimes you have to go into Settings > Manage Apps > HTC Sense > Clear Data for them to show correctly

I think the OP is referring to the downloadable HTC widgets such as battery widget, etc. These will not install from the Market nor do they show up when clicking to download from the widget list to add to home. I too, would like to know a work around to install (not a different widget on the Market) because I really miss the HTC battery widget.

Oh, shoot my bad.
For some reason, the Download new HTC widgets button worked on my v2.0 rom. It showed the downloadable ones and worked on the HS

I think the widget isn't installing because it isn't an official ROM, but that is just a guess.
Could be part of the problem. However, it did install on the Eris based 2.1 roms which had very different frameworks than the Sprint based 2.1 roms. I believe that is the real problem. The Eris roms were more like the Sprint 1.5 roms framework wise.
Just wondering if anyone's found a fix for this? I miss my battery widget lol
still waiting for this myself. hopefully it will work with the release keys
Hi guys. i just got my htc inspire 4g on monday. since i got it i have been looking around and experimenting with different apps. i figured out how to sideload and have been doing that without any problems. until i got to beautiful widgets. i have sideloaded beautiful widgets on to my phone, and everything works, until i try to download other skins for weather or clock. the app just crashes whenever i try to download a new skin. i have tried tons of different versions of the app from many different websites with no avail. anyone else experiencing these problems? can anyone here maybe post me their working beautiful widgets apk so i can just use that? thanks!

I removed them from my phone. Weather/clock app is buggy on some ROMS. ie; half the clock would vanish, freezing when updating weather.
Currently use WF & Clock widget. (free version) No issues. (although not quite as good looking)
it freeze too for me i think everyone have this problem
it doesnt freezes for me but skins download list wont show up, when i try downloading skins from web it gives me error that skin is corrupted.
If you're pirating it, it should freeze. Just spend the $2-3 bucks on it if you want it. I've never had any issues with mine, but I paid for it. Older, pirate-able versions don't work with the skin downloaded properly, since changes have been made in more recent versions.
Aww okay thanks guys. Glad it want just me

downloading skins
I was truckin along just fine downloading all the skins, I got all the battery and super clocks downloaded but when I got to the clock skins my CPU goes to 100%, phone says downloading but it just stays there, no longer getting the little "skin downloaded" pop up and the cpu stays at 100%
Any ideas????
Hi, i recently updated my sensation to ICS but it was causing errors and the phone was constantly restarting so i decided to do a factory reset. Now all is running smoothly but the HTC widgets i originally had such as the notepad and battery widget have gone.
Don't have the widgets option in the ICS HTC Hub either, any help?
Cheers, Mark
Currently using the widget from the EVO 3D for now, not the same and doesn't seem to match the proper reading. Anyone got the sensation battery widget apk?
if its the battery widget from the htc hub your looking for this is it
Is it just me or does this battery widget seem to want access to everything on the phone, there really is no need for it to have access to some of these things!
Thank you so much. I've been searching for this widget and my HTC hub doesn't work with a ICS custom ROM.
I think I found a way to make ics HTC hub work. When I first installed I skipped signing into the hub first thing , then I found it NOT to work after when I tried to sign in later . However if during the very first install you sign into the hub as soon as it asks then the HTC hub WILL work for the rest of the time. I figured this out during the process of installing several different roms. At first I was skipping the process of signing into the hub first thing during set up and that's when it never would work again. But then I tried siginning in during set up and found if I do that the HTC hub WILL continue to work for me. It will ask during first set up to sign in. Do it! Because if it's skipped it will continue to not work even if you sign in later. This has been my experience with HTC HUB. Now mines working fine when before it would never work. Give it a try and see if it makes a difference for you. However, I'm running Ordroid 9.0.0 but its a 4.0.3 or ics base also. With sense 4. Hope this helps. It's worth a try. Works for me.

ya i have noticed this too most of the permissions are not required
So, I´ve been having the S for almost a week now.
I have the fullscreen calender list widget on a homescreen. And so far everything ran as it should. But yesterday Sense crashed while I was scrolling to that screen.
And since then I seem not be able to get it running as it was before.
Here is what I tried:
- Reboot (of course)
- Remove and add the widget again
- Remove the widget and place it on another homescreen
But the only thing that seems to be working is not showing all used calenders.
So, I suppose it might have somehting to do with the amount of entries in those calenders. Maybe too many or something.
Anyone else has that problem or know a solution?
I've had that in the beginning.
I'm now with the HTC for ~3 weeks and am connected to exchange, Facebook & Google calendars.
I didn't do anything to overcome this so it might be related to some kind of a "broken" meeting in one of those.
Try choosing only one at a time and then scroll and see if it works. if it does continue to add one by one to narrow the problematic one.
Sorry, forgot to mention that.
I can view every single one without any problem.
But when I view all of them together, Sense FCs.
Right now I am viewing all calenders but the weeknumber one.
Just to make things clear for me:
I'm using the agenda widget of there sense, is it the same with you?
Have you tried the Android one vs. The sense one?

the calendar widget is buggy.
I don't use it anymore since it makes my device to freeze.
I guess we need to wait for an upgrade from htc.
Try resizing it. When it crashes go back to screen that contains widget and quickly put finger on it as though you are going to delete widget. You should now get arrows allowing you to resize. Make the widget smaller. If it is then stable, resize back to full screen again.

but again, I used to have it too, but now it's gone, so I suspect it's related to a broken entry in the calendar and not necessarily the application itself.

Holy cow! That really did work!
Well, at least it´s not instantly FCing. So, let´s see if the problem will come back.
Thank you very much.
Yeah the calendar widget is buggy for me also. Resizing did not helped. I ended up using ICS calendar widget..
Happened to me on day one. You can remove the screen in the helicopter mode and then just readd it again.
HTC should really release an update.

Until there is an update available you might use Business Calendar: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=netgenius.bizcal
I installed the update today, Software numer 1.78.401.2 and so far it seems the issue has been resolved. Haven't tested it for very long yet, but previously it would crash within one minute. I'll report back after at least a full day of use.
Update: The calendar widget hasn't crashed once since I installed the update so I can confirm the issue has been fixed.
After installing Soundhound, does anyone have the issue where there is no icon in the app menu/drawer? Thanks.
There is something massively wrong with sense 4.0 Plenty of apps are missing icons including Tunein Radio, mirror and others...
I dont know what you guys are talksng about. I updated soundhound today and the icon is still there.
I have never ever had s problem with icons disappearing on sense 4.0

Same here, although I can access soundhound and tunein from the music app...
Never had this issue.
My Soundhound Icon is here sitting on my apps menu.
Just wondering... Do you have your apps menu to show All apps?
Mine is still there, however the girlfriends is having that issue...
*Edit1* Did some digging, there are more apps having this same issue. Mounted to the computer and found some files in .android_secure, turns out it's the missing ones. Funny thing happened while I was typing this out, HTC actually called me regarding another issue I have been dealing with and I informed them of this issue as well. He tested and saw what we see. He'll be getting back to me tomorrow on both issues. I'll update once I know more.
*Edit2* Uninstall soundhound, and reinstall from the market. This will automatically create a new icon on your home screen, but it still won't show up in the app drawer. Good temp fix. Also, using the built-in google search widget you can find your installed apps that don't show up, including Tune In Radio, which I have never seen in the app drawer.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA
Same issue here. The icon for tunein radio disappeared out of the blue from the home screen and the list of all installed apps. The only way to get to it is through "settings- apps- all".
*Update*
HTC Called me back last night. They are still running tests and will be working on this all week. They plan on contacting me back by/on Friday evening. They are also testing the calender notification issues.
Wow- please keep us updated. Thanks!
