Digital Clock Widget

[Dexmac]

Hello!

I've installed this widget and it's great but, when I connect my HTC Desire to my PC via USB and then disconnect it, the widget disappears leaving the following message in its wake: 'Problem Loading Gadget'.

Any ideas?

What widget is it? DigiClock widget and Clockq are highly recommended :beer:

Is it installed on the SDCard? If so then when you connect to your PC, in 'storage mode' (or whatever they call it) then the SDCard can't be accessed thus any apps moved to the card don't work.

That's right, Dave and I understand that. It's when I disconnect the cable, the SD card remounts but the clock fails to appear.

I've tried to install the widget without the SD card in the phone but the app reports this during the attempt: 'Application cannot be installed in the default install location'.

Ooops, sorry! Didn't spot the 'then disconnect' bit.

It sounds like you have the SD card set as the default install location.

Go into the applications menu and move any apps whose widgets you use to phone rather than SD. Widgets on SD will break when you reboot the phone, as well as when you mount the card over USB, and there's nothing you can do about this apart from not save the app to SD.

Thanks, Hadron but If I move the app to phone, the 'Problem loading gadget' error happens.

With the app on the phone, remove the widget from your desktop and then put it back again. That or rebooting the phone should fix it.

Excellent, Hadron - thanks very much! Actually, after removing the widget as you advised, the reboot was necessary to get it to appear again in the widget list for re-inserting on the desktop.

Cheers!!!
