Help can't download HTC widgets

[kingp]

I just did a factory reset on my EVO this morning, for the heckuvit, and after getting everything re-installed, I went to download the notes and battery widget from HTC, but now my EVO is telling me (when I click on the "Get More HTC Widgets" header) it is "unable to download widgets. Tap to try again. However, I tap and tap and tap and tap and it never connects.

Is anyone else seeing this as well? I've tried it with Wi-Fi, 3G and 4G...and nothing seems to make it connect.

My EVO is rooted running the stock 2.3 ROM, no other modifications aside from the fact that I removed some sprint apps...

Thanks!

I have had the same problem and have not found a solution. My guess is that HTC has removed the widgets from their server or their server is down. I found a download for the battery widget here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=497688&d=1295801210 You will probably find the others widgets doing some searching around.
