I downloaded the living social app from the android app store. At first there was a widget that showed up in the widget selector. However once I rebooted my phone the widget disappear. Is anyone else getting this? Or is this just my phone?

Move it from the SD card to internal phone storage. Our phone seems to like putting stuff on the SD by default, but widgets break when on the SD.

I just put both widgets, the small and big, on my screen. I got no problems with BW.
Mines work just fine. its prob something you did wrong?
Lol the market auto installed... Its installed on market.. But when i press and hold, go to widgets.. all i see is the standard froyo ones :S
Fixed by reinstalling lol
same here only froyo widgets
maybe a reboot will show all your restored apps.
I got a notification saying all apps were restored.

Same exactly problem here, thank god I wasn't alone...... Keyboard goes back to stock on reboot and beautiful widgets gets removed from screen/menu to add it back.....Have to uninstall/reinstall.......
EDIT: Even mounting the SD card removes my Beautiful Widget.......WTF Google!!!
Maybe we need to wipe and re flash? Im pleased it isn't just me lol. All my widgets go lol
well i been playing around with it..... Firstly, I uninstalled any apps that were giving me trouble (Beautiful Widgets, HTC_IME keyboard and cachemate widget).... The I used 'pm setInstallLocation 0' to have my apps install back to the phone storage..... I can now reboot without losing my shiiiiiit!! So hope this helps some of you, course there not on 'SD' then but hey they don't alllllll need to be
Read this and you'll see which apps won't be able to install on SDcard without breaking: Install Location Details
So i guess its best to install normal apps on sd, any widget programs etc on the phone?
You have to install the app on phone memory in order to make widgets work.
Apps on SD card will not have widgets available to launcher.
Maybe it's a bug in Froyo, or technical issues can't be solve by Google (unlikely) :/
Simple fix
1)
adb shell
pm setInstallLocation 0
This will set it back to factory settings, THEN reinstall beautiful widgets and every other widget that gives you problems upon reboot. This will reinstall it back on your phone
*after reinstall of widgets, or any thing else that disappear upon reboot, proceed to step 2*
2)
adb shell
pm setInstallLocation 2
This will default you back to installing apps to SD card.

Apparently, even when i was setup as "pm setInstallLocation 0" moving the beautiful widgets back to phone memory via "manage applications" didn't not hold up after reboot. This method i mentioned does, after numerous reboots!
Enjoy
Terminal set locations works, but you can also just select the app(s) move to phone option and reboot the apps should be moved. Works for me
Anyone else experiencing this? I'm using the 1x4 weather only widget.
Yes, same here mate. Also asks to download the animation add on, even though it's already installed. Seems to sort itself out after a couple of minutes though.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Nexus S has issues with stuff stored on the "internal sd" after a boot up.
This is the same issue with ringtones/notifications that are stored on the "internal sd" and after a reboot, they're deselected.
Same goes with beautiful Widgets, as the phone is booting up, you will see it's "reading" the internal storage and while it's doing that, beautiful widgets is fully loaded, but since it's not finished reading the internal storage, beautiful widgets doesn't see the skins at are on the "internal sd" so it loads the default built in skin.
It's an issue with the Nexus S itself.
Has anyone else run into issues with Springpad on their Infuse? I cannot get my notes to go to my homescreen and the widgets wont show up in the widget menu. I reinstalled it yesterday and got the widgets to reappear in the widget menu, but when I shut my phone off last night and turned it back on this morning, the widget transformed into a problem, and the Springpad widgets no longer show up in the widget menu. Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it? Or just have a better replacement?
I use Springpad but do not use the widgets. So I tested it by adding the list view widget and the small one, rebooted and the widgets remain. I am using a custom ROM (Infused) so not sure if that has anything to do with it. If you are looking for a replacement, try Evernote.
There is an easy fix for that. I had the same problem with pandora widget, it would always disapper from widget list after the reboot. Go into settings, applications, manage applications then move the app to phone and reboot. It will never disappear after that.

I am using a custom ROM as well (Refuse 1.6). It could be something with that ROM I suppose; I haven't tried any others for long enough to get to using Springpad.

Yep, that'll do. I had not even thought they were being automatically placed there; don't remember ever setting this. Just noticed that all of my apps are being installed to sd card. I'll check around for how to change it. Thanks!
Edit: Springpad was not among those stored on the SD card, turns out. Widget is working again though. It must have been something else.
I've noticed this problem since I bought my Sensation. I immediately started transferring over apps from my G2 and Xoom (the ones I planned on using on my Sensation, at least). I know which apps have a widget and which don't. When I long-press on my screen and choose widgets, I see most of the widgets of apps I just installed but not all of them.
There are times when I flashed custom roms to try them out and then go back to my nand (clean stock backup) and the same widgets that didn't show up before would now appear on the list.
Is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone know why this is happening?
Only thing I can think of is that maybe the parent program for the widget got moved to the sdcard. I know widgets have to be in,main,memory to work.
Forgive me if this is an infantile response, I am still fairly new to android, but eager to help if I can.

Hmmm... Interesting, if you're right. In my previous Android phones and on my Xoom, I move all the apps that I can to SD every time and never had this problem. But I will give this a try. I'll report back if this is the case with Sensation on stock Sense UI.
I just restored from a previous nand (good thing I happened to backup for no apparent reason just this morning) and it looks like the widget is there. I checked where the app was and it is in fact on my SD card. So there goes that theory. Hehe.
I wonder if others have the same issue and if they found out the culprit. Thanks anyway, Ivanstein.
One thing I've noticed that with no matter what sensation rom I flash first time i download an app the widgets don't show in the widgets menu until i reboot.
Hi!
I used the default launcher of our XL..
On my home screen, I made 5 Folders for Web, Social, Games, Misc, and Japanese Language apps..
And I put at least 3 apps on every folder..
On my app drawer, I made folders for Google,Utilities, Games,Desktop, Sony, and Camera apps..And some individual apps like MX Player, recorder, calcu, ES file explorer, settings, TiBackUp, Speed Test and Greenify..
After every reboot of my phone, some of the icons(specially the user installed apps) are not on their folders on the home screen I made and have been lined up again on the app drawer.. Did some users experienced the same thing?any suggestions??
Thanks..

try to clear data of "Xperia Home".
You will lose all customize setting on homescreen.
Make again 5 folders and see if that works?
I am also trying to figure out exactly what reason that could be.
Has anyone ever figured out what causes it or how to fix the situation? I have the same issue with my Xperia Z1. App Drawer folders just disappear on reboot, sending the contained apps all over the drawer.
Tried both things (App Data Reset and specifically deleting data of Xperia Home) to no avail.
Move all apps from internal sd to phone, this will solve most issues. It's the same with modified icons & names in custom launchers when the apps are on the internal sd. It's because these apps are loaded after the launcher loads.
