Uninstalling widgets

[gracie82]

Why when i uninstall widgets on my phone does it say problem loading widget? So far I would give this phone about 3 out of 10 stars, very unhappy with the way it works. Please tell me I have a lemon or something, nearly every time I try and use something it throws the "force close" action at me.

sounds like you have a lemon because i think most people here would say 9 out of 10 or better

what apps do you have installed? that could have somthing to do with it. do you have an antivirus? if so UNINSTALL it.

a couple different weather and radar widgets, accuweather, weather channel, and the weather one that most people have with the clock in it not sure what it was called. I must have a lemon because I am having all kinds of issues with this phone.

Have you tried a Hard Reset?

why so many weather widgets?

[gracie82]

No I have not tried a hard reset, not even sure what that is?
I have so many weather widgets because I hunt a lot and the weather plays a huge role in where and what I do as far as hunting goes, so I have just been trying to find the one that works best for me.

any answers for me?

Don't uninstall the app while the widget is on your home screen. If you just want the widget off the home screen, then drag it to the trash.

To Hard Reset (Taken From: Hard Reset Motorola Droid)

You can hard reset your Motorola Droid phone if you want clear all of the data off of the device and start fresh. Here’s how it’s done.

1. Turn the Droid off. If it won’t turn off, take the battery out then place it back in.

2. Open the keyboard and press the X key while pressing and holding Power. The device will power on. Keep holding the buttons down until a yellow triangle appers.

3. Press the Camera and Volume Up buttons at the same time to get to the menu. (I had to press them several times).

4. Use the direction pad to the right of the keyboard to select the Format option.
