I don't know what has happened but... suddenly I can't add widgets any longer. When I tap menu, +ADD button is dimmed and i can't tap it. Anyone have any ideas?
Edit: Sorry if this goes in the Q&A section, if so move it please.
Edit 2: Nevermind! Turns out if there isnt any room on your desktop for any additional widgets, well... you cant add any more. Makes sense to me, hah.
Try a soft reset, it may cure it.

After installing the update from TMO, The little bar that flips between mail, home, internet, images, music, etc. "shrinks" into a little black tab in the middle of my screen at the bottom.
This is super super annoying because it takes an extra effort to click on the damn thing and then slide my finger to scroll. This also requires a second tap on the screen when i go to browser because the first one simply 'collapses' the little thing and the second one will actually respond to the internet icon you're tapping on.
Tell me there's a way to turn off the collapse of this stupid thing. I tried looking on here but I don't know what keywords to use to search this out. Something like 'htc sense update hd2 registry change' yields nothing.
TIA

It sounds to me like you have cookies home tab enabled?! That is strange are you sure you didn't flash to a custom rom?! I have that one my phone and I have the update but the only way I was able to get that was with CHT. I have attached examples.
Yep! I do have cookies home tab installed! Dang..so is the setting in that to change it? :bangs head:
I'll take a look.
WTHAT A MORON. Thats its. The 'retractable slider' setting. I can't believe I didn't realize that was cookie and not HTC.
Thanks a million for pushing me in the right direction.
Awesome! Glad I could help! I had that enable for a while but it became a little annoying so I took it off! Hahahaha it does make it look really cool!
Hey, thanks for the info. I'm glad I learned about that.
I also have Cookies, and didn't know about that.
Now I have just enabled that feature. Why? I don't find that "ribbon" at the bottom very useful, as it is not very customizable. Nice to have the settings button there at the right, but one can also do that with a Quick Link. I like the music app, but one can also do a quick link for that. Withouth that ribbon, there is room for another row of quick links. (I find it unfortunate that that "ribbon" is so uncustomizable. You cannot choose what is in it, but only what to remove (other than settings and home). (I don't really need that home icon either, because there is a hardware button for home.) I don't like how that "People" tab goes to "HTC People". I'd rather go straight to the regular contacts list. But it can't be changed (AFAIK), only removed.
So by retracting it, I remove the whole thing (can slide it back if I want), but can put the links I like in that ribbon into quick links, for which there is now more room.
Thank you.
Hi,
Anyone know if there's a registry hack to remove the Home and Settings options from the home screen tabs at the bottom of the home screen? I actually use Settings a bit, but the Home option makes no sense to me. Not only is there a hardware button that takes you to the home screen, but as far as I can tell, the home screen tabs only appear on the home screen anyway, kinda making the option pointless! I'd prefer to put the settings option on one of my quicklinks instead to free up some space on the home screen tabs (I like a nice tidy maximum of 5 down there to prevent the need to scroll) and assume that if a registry hack exists, both options would sit in the same area.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Don't do it
There was a thread about it, but you would have to search for it. I don't remember anymore wharmt exactly the titel was.
I came from the same side and tried to remove the HomeTab.
1st point: it worked.
Sideeffect: not only the button in the slider vanished, but also the complete Homescreen.
So, it's better you leave the fingers off this topic.
If you want to find the thread, just search for all my posts (there aren't so many). This might be the easiest way to find it.

never mind, just reread your q, lol please ignore me.
careful
Only if your a pro , dont touch registries. Enjoy your phone and hope all is well.
Hello everyone, this is what happens:
If I turn off the phone with the power manager widget on the screen when you turn the phone the widget is not finished loading I can only see a gray rectangle and the only way to get it working again is to do a hard reset.
Thank you all, you are the best, and please forgive my English.
A little more information
I forgot to tell you that I also tested with the widget controls and extended SwitchPro and same thing happens with Power Manager
I know what you mean. I have to press one of the power control buttons 2 or 3 times then swipe to another page and back again. Not ideal but worth it as I like the widget.

dude hard reset what are talking about just give ur phone sometime and swipe to other page.. now when u come back to home page things will be normal..
nothing hapens
When I swipe the screen to an other page an come back to the main screen nothing happens.
You could try deleting the widget from the page then re-adding it, however I agree with warriorvibhu; giving the phone some more time should sort it. I've had happen a few times but it's always appeared eventually.
Also about other widgets
Do you also happen with other widgets like or SwitchPro Extended Controls?
I got CM7 working on my Nook Color from SD card and am very happy with it. After about two days I am finding that the long tap on the widget/app icon to make it become "mobile" or editable is not happening anymore. If I keep my finger for very long I get the show preview with all the screens showing up. Not sure what I have done wrong ? I have tried to reset and restart ADW but it has not helped. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

hit "menu" then "more", "unlock desktop"
Thanks a lot,
that worked
I'm SHOCKED, SHOCKED I TELL YOU, to see that Google still hasn't fixed the bug where during screensaver, if you tap the screen, sometimes it wakes the phone and sometimes it turns the display completely off.
Also a bit of a new bug I encountered last night when I plugged the phone in. It was auto-updating apps, and screensaver came on, and it appeared to flash back to the home screen briefly to "show" the notification that the update had completed for a given app, and then back to screensaver. Only happened once though.
FFS guys.
EDIT: Thanks Stephen, apparently I'm still a novice and didn't realize I could change the thread subject. Corrected a typo.
If you want to edit the thread title, click the edit button and then the go advanced button. There is an option there to change the thread title. If you want to close the thread, let me know and I can do that for you.
Many thanks,
Stephen
