Since the last couple of days I get a notification that the HTC Hub has updates for me. When I go in I see one of my plugins (Translator) shows an update. Even though I select to update , it keeps on showing that an update is available.
I experienced this issue before with the HTC Media link plugin too. To date there is no solution how to fix this.
Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
I saw this problem yesterday, I got a notification that the battery widget had an upate, went to download the update several times but it does not work, I eventually uninstalled the battery widget completley.
I'm in the same boat. I really miss my battery and tasks widget. Can they be downloaded from somewhere else?
Same here.

Turns out all the widgets on HTC Hub are on HTC Likes, just use the search function to find them. They install just fine from HTC Likes.
With the search option, i can't find the battery widget in htc likes...
It's there. Search for 'battery'.

I've been using the HTC News widget to keep an eye on a few technology feeds and a few other things for a while and find it pretty handy. Unfortunately for reasons I haven't found it decided to stop updating around two days ago. I have it set to update automatically every four hours but that wasn't happening and tapping the bottom area to force a refresh just left it hanging at "Updating" without success.
I tried removing the subscriptions I had and added two test subscriptions to see what happened. When I finished adding them I was back at the home screen and it told me there was no news. Considering one of the subscriptions was Gizmodo I find that impossible to believe so something has bugged it out. Being the genius (HAH!) that I am I decided to try and see if going to "Manage Applications" and forcing it to stop would fix it. Big mistake! Now when I try to add the widget or launch HTC News it looks like it's about to open and then I'm staring at the home screen. No crash message, no errors, it's just as though the app quit instantly.
That's where I am now. I have tried restarting the phone to force all processes to restart at boot up but it didn't work so now I'm stuck with a the HTC News app failing to load. Any suggestions on what to do to fix this? I still have no idea why it stopped working in the first place either.
same problem
I am having the same problem. Did u get a system update from HTC? I think mine stopped working after this update.
Yeah, the second update not long ago. I think that's when the random reboots started too.

contacted HTC
I have just sent HTC an email about this RSS News reader problem. i will keep you updated if I get a reply.
same problem here, but not related to the update!
i know this from my past:
as my signature shows i'm coming from hd2, and i had a desire hd ROM running
at last. there, after some days of the same rom, the problems with non-updating
news reader started to happen. i even felt smart and deleted the data from the
settings/ applications menue of the news reader, after that i had the same
problem as dyonas: a non functioning news reader.
sorry, but back then only a clean start (factory reset or in case of the hd2 a
deletion of the data.img) worked...
would be also glad if somebody would tell us how to fix this without having to
reflash/hard-reset!
Funny that you say that TML, I backed up all my apps thinking that it would be the only solution that would definitely fix it. I'll wait and see if we hear anything other than this but it shouldn't be a big deal to restore the apps again. I'd rather avoid it but at least the option is there.
Well I figured I might as well try a factory reset and it worked. The widget works again, and as a bonus my DHD feels ultra nippy again. I thought it was a tiny bit sluggish after I entered account details for sync but a few minutes later I saw why. Notification bar said 36 applications restored.
This phone rocks, Google rocks, Android rocks. All I had to download were things from the HTC hub. I even still have my text messages from before the reset.

To backup apps and phone data I used MyBackup Pro from that market but as I said, I didn't need to install them since Google restored them. I didn't get settings and account information on things like Toutieur (twitter app) restored because I didn't restore my backup, I don't know if it will restore properly on the DHD since I didn't try. I was about to try so I could offer a better answer but I'm having issues with data connectivity tonight that I'm 99% sure are to do with T-Mobile.
Steps taken
Download VISIONary from the market and run it to get temporary root
Use MyBackup Pro with root privileges, backup apk and their data, backup phone data (sms, mms etc)
Factory reset the phone (Settings > SD & phone storage > Factory data reset at the bottom)
It gave me two separate confirmation screens (liked that!) then it does the reset, reboots and restores from firmware and the phone loads up after a few minutes.
That's all I did. It's worth mentioning that you shouldn't do this without plenty of battery life.
I am now having the same problem, the news feeds wont refresh! Is a hard reset the only option?
I don't know if a hard reset is the only option but the response I got from HTC suggested clearing the cache of both the app and widget, which I did before my "force stop" madness. The factory reset was a pain but short of waiting a week or more for HTC to get somewhere it's the fastest. Using WiFi during the setup after the reset it had all my apps and other information back within 10 minutes. The only things missing were sound sets and a skin I downloaded from the HTC Hub, everything else was there.
I just hard reset mine. Newsreader is now working. I got the same response as you from HTC

Hard reset for second time, working again but for how long? Just using app not widget.

what about backuping up News 1.0 using titanium backup for example
Can confirm this has now happened twice to me!
Any solution here? or an alternative app that has a nice appearance like this one?
A hard reset is not a solution!
Is this problem just with the widget? Can the above back up app only be used with rooted phones?

my experience froyo 2.2
Just my experience....
Tried to add BBC or Gizmodo.
On the channel list showed up a red spot with ! Probably cause no news are found!
Seeing that I have opened the channel and I have played with the menu
Some seconds and I all the news appeared !!
But returning to the channels list the red spot was still there.
I think that the reader think the news are already been red or something like that...
And more, I cannot remove the subscription!
I suppose that the first time you connect to Google it download your google reader subs and after then fails to sinc or manage new ones
I have the same issue with the news gadget and the friend stream gadget. I might agree with some of the posts above that this happened around the recent update. No other issues with this phone

...yes ... but for example just to be out of this topic try to put a gel case to protect your dhd ...
your GPS signal drops down dramatically!! ok off topic....
Right...the dam widget has stopped working again and is force closing. I DO NOT want to hard reset AGAIN! I have just sent HCT support a raving email!
Anyone else having problems downloading HTC widgets? I keep getting "Unable to download widgets. Tap to try again.".

They are no longer showing in the market so I'm guessing it has something to do with that.
Just a thought, but I''m thinking that HTC pulled all of their widgets from the Android Market and is moving them to the HTC hub.
It will be interesting to see once we can get some ported ROM's from the Desire Z if that is the case.
It's working on my wife's EVO not sure why it wouldn't work just on the EVO shift.
I don't think HTC ever had their widgets in the Android Market. I have the original Evo also and I remember a while back some of the Evo users ran into the same issue and it was a problem on htc end in which they had to send out a update that fixed the issue.
I assume everyone is unable to download widgets under the "get more widgets" area of the phone. If so, I'm 100% positive that this has noting to do with the market whatsoever. Me personally, I'm not having any problems with facebook sync or whatever. Although, just like other evo shift owners, I'm unable to download the other htc widgets such as profiles, tip calculator etc.
I'm just gonna sit back and grab some 3rd party apps from the market that does the same thing.

I know on my Hero I downloaded the battery widget and Today in History directly from the market.
HTC had several widgets for download via the market.
Actually, I remember the Hero having this issue as well. It was eventually fixed, but by then I was on custom ROMs.
Yup, couldn't access it last night.
Just got my shift today and I also have no access to "more widgets"
Just got mine as well. I really wanted the battery widget... and tasks
My evo is charging now so I can't do it. Maybe someone with an evo can download all of them, find their apk's and upload them somewhere. Of course try to install a few on the shift and see if they work first.
Everything except audio recorder.

Battery was tested and appears to work. Mirror if you want to keep sharing. From an Evo.
The last two have odex so I don't know how to deal with that so I included them anyway.
AWESOME! Battery and Tasks worked for me. I will let other people test the others
Widgets now available from HTC
Just an FYI, I just downloaded a few from HTC through the phone. Widgets listed are:
Battery
Daily Challenge
Fortune Cookie
Notes
Quick Record
Sand Timer
Tasks
Tip Calculator
Today in History
Translator
Word of the Day
I was able to download the HTC widgets directly from my shift. Maybe it was just a temporary issue.
I've been googling around but haven't found any simmilar symptoms:
On my stock desire z after browsing certain websites (the desktop version of Pocketnow.com is one in particular) when I exit back to the stock sense home (rosie) I get the green htc logo and "Loading...". I know this is rosie crashing in the background and recovering.
I'm using the stock browser. I'm also rooted but haven't upgraded to 1.72 yet, and wouldn't want to unless I could be sure it will solve this anoying issue. And I also read about some nasty sms bugs being introduced in the newer version...
It's probably not an adobe flash problem, because I have it set to on demand and other websites that are heavy on flash don't cause this.
I have a lot of apps installed, but almost everything in the internal memory, so it's very probably not a widget on card kind of problem.
I do have the stock htc bookmarks widget (with webpage thumbnails) on the homescreen but the same happened when I removed it temporarily.
I could switch to an other launcher but I like the htc look and feel
Anybody else with simmilar problem? Any suggestions to fix this?
I had this problem and it was quickdesk causing it. Don't know if you have that installed or not.

No quickdesk, and i did a quick overview of my installed apps, and I don't think I have any simmilar task switchers (other than the one built into the pull down status bar on the desire z). But thanks very much for your suggestion!
I did another test however, the same thing happens when I use a different browser. Browsing pocketnow.com with XScope Lite resulted in the same sense crash :-(
Just had a notification that new widgets are available, battery, call mom, coin flip, fake call, notes, quick record, sand timer, tasks, tip calculator, today in history and daily challenge.
A system update would also be nice the same time.
Anyone else have it?
They all been availible for over a week

Battery widget awesome but the HTC hub server ... (sigh)
I can't download Fake Call sadly. Managed to grab the rest though
Could someone post pictures of the new widgets please?
Anyone got an .apk for Fake Call? Would be really useful, as the download isn't working

Try installing it via HTC Likes - it worked for me there, but not from HTC Hub. Failing that, i'd upload the apk if someone knows where it downloads them to.
Worked for me too. Thanks mate
Whats the sense of releasing new widgets if they are screwed up :/ Notes and Tasks are messed :/
htc sence server wont work for me every time :\
fake call apk please
Yesterday I try updating the battery widget from HTC Hub. It uninstalled the older version but would not install the newer one. I kept retrying and it only downloads but doesn't install. I tried to install any of the other HTC Hub widgets but I keep encountering the same problem with all of them. Does anyone else also have the same issue? Can you try downloading a widget from HTC Hub and confirm. Any solutions? I really want my battery and tasks widgets.
PS. I'm unbranded and still on 1.32 so its not the new OTA update.
I have the same issue and I think it may be something to do with my current problem of having to force quit almost everything the first time I run it..
Will let you know if I find more..
Instead of starting a new thread why not post in one that's already created? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007718
Besides the problem is probably at HTC's end .
Sorry, I didn't notice the other thread. Hanging head down in shame. :'(
