HTC Wildfire. 1 week old. Weather widget has stopped working. All i get is a message saying 'No weather data available'. I've tried refreshing and turning the phone on an off. I live in a large city so location shouldn't be a problem and its only stopped working in the past couple of hours. Any ideas how I could fix this?

In Android, the word widget is a generic term for a bit of self-contained code that displays a program, or a piece of a program, that is also (usually) a shortcut to a larger application. We see them every day on web pages, on our computer desktop and on our smartphones, but we never give too much thought into how great they are. Widgets first appeared in Android in version 1.5, and really gained traction thanks to HTC's Sense-flavored version of the operating system. Prior to the release of the HTC Hero and our first taste of Sense, widgets were functional, but pretty bland in appearance. Since then, manufacturers and independent developers alike have done some marvelous things with widgets, and it's hard to imagine using Android without them. Android widgets come in all shapes and sizes and range from the utilitarian 1-by-1 shortcut style to full-page widgets that blow us away with the eye-candy. Both types are very useful, and it's pretty common to see a widget or two on the home screen of any Android phone. A full-page widget, like HTC's weather widget for late-model Android phones, tells you everything you need to know about the current conditions, and is also a quick gateway to the weather application where you can see things like forecasts and weather data for other cities. At the other end of the spectrum, the Google Reader 1x1 widget watches a folder in your Google Reader account and tells you how many unread items there are, and opens the full application when pressed. Both are very handy, and add a lot to the Android experience.
Most Android phones come with a handful of built-in widgets. Some manufacturer versions of Android offer more than others, but the basics like a clock, calendar, or bookmarks widget are usually well represented. This is just the tip of the iceberg though. A quick trip into the Android Market will dazzle you with the huge catalog of third-party widgets available, with something that suits almost every taste. With Ice Cream Sandwich supporting things like higher resolution screens and re-sizable widgets, it's going to be an exciting year seeing what developers can come up with.

Touch and hold a blank space on the screen and you will get options to add Applications, widget , settings etc . Select widget and select Clock ( htc ) , swipe towards your right and find the one that you are looking for .
Thumps up if this has helped .

I have access to myPersonal Weather Station on my phone with 2 widgets:
1. Cumulus Realtime. Requires a PWS compatible with Cumulus software (free forWindows) and your own website for Cumulus to upload the data. The widgetaccesses the website to get readings at predefined intervals.
2. PWS Time and Weather. Requires a PWS and software such as Cumulus to uploadyour data to Weather Underground (Wunderground), which the widget accesses.

Go to the Message and do a "long press". On the popup screen select "forward".



P.S. You can't do it on the HTC Message widget itself. Need to enter first to All messages.

mine has been doing the same thing since Friday, and my wife's phone started doing this on Sunday. I called T-Mobile and all they can say is that they are looking into it.

It sounds like you have turned off the Mobile network option (that is the data option for Sprint, other carriers might be different).

Try this, add a widget to your screen that will turn on the data connection:

-long press on the home screen > Widget > Settings > Mobile network

This will place a widget that will allow you to turn on and off the mobile network. Make sure it is on and then try your connections again.

Good luck.

All i did was take out my SD card and wait 15 seconds then put it back in the phone. I did not see the process com.htc.launcher error anymore.
