Simi Clock & Go Launcher problem

[DesireMe]

I have a Simi clock widget on my homescreen, (now using Go Launcher) and everytime i turn the phone off and on, the Simi widget will disappear, there is no widget to select and it's not in the app drawer. I'm left with uninstalling & installing, for it come back.

Anyone else have this problem?
- I don't know whether it's the Go Launcher, or Simi clock, as i changed both recently as previously had LP and FuzzyClock.

I had the same problem with widgets disappearing on Go Launcher, the main reason for uninstalling unfortunately.

Ah man, that's a shame, i've just taken the plunge and removed LP and gone for Go. Did you contact the developers? They seem pretty keen to offer updates.

hi guys,
i think they have just done an update for this - atleast im sure it mentioned a fix for widgets disappearing - i had it once with jorte on an ealier GL version

stick with it - GL is the best imo

What made you ditch LP and switch to Go?

i found GL suited me better - just liked the feel of it more

What made you ditch LP and switch to Go?

There was several reasons why i switched. The biggest reason was the bug where in LP you have the notification bar switched off. Quite frequently, in and out of apps, scrolling docks / screens, the dock icons would drop and only half be visible. I would need to pull down the notification bar or go into app drawer to correct this, which sometimes it didn't anyway. REALLY annoying.

Plus i just switched to Go SMS, heard good comments about it and that it's light etc so i thought i would try the launcher.

The dock icons have NEVER dropped with Go. So there's one immediate improvement. Another benefit so far has been that you can resize the widgets. You can only do that in LP+. And i kept getting reminded to buy LP if i clicked a widget to resize (by mistake).

I've emailed the Dev about the widget-losing problems, i'll see if they get back and what happens, but for now, i'm staying with Go.

I've not experienced that. What apps/widgets? Maybe a good idea to email the development team too.
