HTC Bookmarks
I use;
Home Screen: Clock widget, 8 apps (Maps, Internet, Market, Camera, Messages, K-9 Mail, Calendar, People)
1st Right: News widget (full screen)
1st Left: HTC Calender widget (full screen, not the monthly one)
2nd Right: People widget (full screen, 9 favourite contacts)
2nd Left: Wifi/Bluetooth etc widget, WeatherBug widget (as the HTC Weather widget cannot identify my location) and 8 apps (Facebook, Movies, cab4me, Photos, BodyFitness, YouTube, WaveSecure, Shazam)
3rd Right: Bookmarks widget (full screen)
3rd Left: HTC Music widget, 4 apps (go!Lyrics, ShopSavvy, Places Directory, Last.fm)
I like the look of HTC Messages widget but IMO it's slow and accessing via app is faster. I used to use HTC Mail widget but it can't seem to access SSL encrypted email account so I use K-9 mail instead and it pushes my emails (I think).
why not start a screenshot thread?

Hello everybody,
I've been a happy Hero convertee since my device arrived two days ago. Well, I had to weather the Facebook-bug but there's plenty of help on the web. However, it seems that I've found somethimg new:
For some reason, my calendar does no longer display events in the grid view while list view keeps working perfectly. Also, the HTC calendar widget (small layout) does show no events in the preview area (although there are events) while the Android calendar widget still does its job. Soft resetting and re-syncing did not help...
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks,
Abed
i got the same problem whith the htc calendar widget yesterday. It dont show the next upcoming event.
My alarms from the calender has also stop working, so somthing must be wrong with the calender, but i cant find anything...
I also have problems, when i use the htc agenda widget and the pure calender widget. But the calender under android widgets, seems to work better. My problems are, that it stops showing events that has been created a long time ago.
Same problem here, post Orange update, no calendar widget updates.
Is it possible to make the calendar on the Manila2D home screen show more than one upcoming event? I've tried disabling some of the other things but it doesn't auto-expand the calendar, it just leaves blank space.
Some of my calendar appointments do NOT show up in any agenda/calendar widget I have tried.
I have two google-based calendars (work and personal). All appointments from both calendars DO show up in the calendar *application*.
However, only appointments in my personal calendar (default gmail account) show up in ANY widget, and NONE AT ALL show up in the default calendar widget.
As far as widgets are concerned, I have tried:
- Default
- Jorte
- Smooth Calendar
- Agenda Widget
Has anyone had a similar issue/any known workarounds/widgets which DO work?
Thanks!
Augusto
I use "Smooth Calendar" and have multiple calendars synced with it. These include calendars I own and ones I am sharing.
All of them show up in the widget no problem.
I recommend using it, as it is the nicest calendar widget I have found. One tap on it will let you enter config, refresh or calendar. Under config you can select which calendars will show up.
Cheers
Have tried it, but it doesn't work (and I would prefer more calendar entry lines).
I forgot to mention that my work calendar is automatically picked up by the calendar system as it is a shared calendar visible from my personal account.
Ill try to remove the "shared" view and add it explicitly in the calendar app.
Thanks - any more suggestions welcome.
Agenda widget
Does somebody now a widget for the Xperia X10 like the agenda widget on the Samsung Galaxy SII? You can scroll in that one.
any chance to sync to google??
use pure grid calendar widget:
choose android auto select for calendar input source
go to applications and sync, google account, then sync calendar
refresh the app with it's refresh button and voila your appointments are there
It first started with the New widget.
And now also with the Calander and Twitter widget.
News Widget
This was a know issue.... It says updating but doesn't update.
Calander Widget
When ever I go to the the widget android start syncing my calander, and when I open it the calander is empty. And it doesn't refresh to today even when syncing is done...
Twitter Widget
HTC Peep refreshes. When you open Peep you see the new Twits, but on the widget you still see the old tweets.
Anyone facing the same issues? Or knows how to fix it.
The calander bug is the most important one for me. I use that one a lot.
For HTC calander delete cache.
Also for Twitter.
For HTC News, Delete cache.
Download Google Reader from market.
And re-setup HTC News
I'm using Touch Calendar with my Desire Z, with the "Show All Calendars" option set. I can see most of my Google calendar entries, but when I add a new entry to my Google calendar via the web on my PC, then select "Refresh" in Touch Calendar on the phone, the new appointments don't appear.
Can anyone think of any possible reasons why some Google calendar events wouldn't be displayed?
(My wifi internet connection on the phone is fine, by the way)
The appointments setup on your desktop computer will not instantly appear on Touch Calendar, you need to wait a few minutes (or have you already done that, and they NEVER appear?). I think the refresh function on Touch Calendar just refreshes the Touch Calendar app with your phone's calendar. But does not sync it to your PC's Google Calendar. You have to wait until your phone syncs with Google Calendar, then you should see it come up on Touch Calendar.
