Where can i find the default tmobile clock / weather widget?
I recently flashed to CM7 but liked the clock / weather widget that was on the stock Tmobile ROM. Any suggestions on how to get this back?
THanks!
Download beautiful widgets or flip clock and weather app

I think you mean the sense clock weather widget. that commonly used widget is htc's, not tmobile's

Yeah. The stock clock/weather widget is part of HTC Sense. That's why you don't see it when using an alternative homescreen launcher. Also, that's why other widgets that used that style widget had to change it.
ok that must be why I cannot find it! I think the HTC Sense stock was by far the best. It had weather alaram and clock on the home screen...then it also had multiple alternate locations. Any that are comparable to that?
there are settings within both beautiful widgets and fancy widgets pro where you can set up what i believe your talking about. for instance under advanced settings you can set up when you touch the clock it open's a app, lets say you want that 2b your alarm..you can change it 2 that or any other app you wish. you can make touching the date start the calender and clicking on the sun/moon will start the weather. Both have a sence-like feel, like under settings you can check to have the clouds move when unlocking the phone. I myself like beautiful widgets a lil better but perhaps check youtube 4 a video on each b4 you decide which you may like better. well hope this helped some.
I can't seem to get the Weatherbug or CNN widgets to stay visible. I put them on a screen and they work fine for awhile. Then they disappear. The widget is definitely still they since I can't put anything else in the place it occupies and I can grab it and drag it to the remove Icon. In fact, removing the widget and putting it back is the only way I have found to make them visible again (note: I did not try a reboot or power off since its actually easier and faster to just put them back).
The email widgets (I have one for gmail and one for regular email),calendar widget, bookmark widget and Beautiful Widget Home have worked perfectly.
Seem to only be effecting some of the widgets. Anyone else seeing disappearing widgets?

I have the same problem with the weatherbug widget. It is definitely still there - I can't put anything in its location and i can even long press and drag the invisible widget to the trash can.
any thoughts? Thanks!
I know the CNN widget depends on a network connection, when I'm offline it usually stops showing items. They just didn't code it to gracefully fail, it just shows an empty stack widget.

Yeah, I expect that to happen. I sometimes lose network connection at night (not great signal in my bedroom - which according to my wife is a good thing!). I can understand an empty stack widget, but my weatherbug widget completely disappears. You bring up a good point though, maybe I'll leave it in the living room tonight so it doesn't lose connection and see if the widget disappears. I hope they fix that before the wifi only model comes out.
@OP - do you sometimes lose network connection. Could your problem also be related?
I havn't had any problems with mine
Are you using the stock launcher? I know that on my phone in the past if the launcher runs into an issue this very same widget issue happened.
I have had the same issues with my Cnn widgets and the weather. I have found that if you go in to the actual application from the app drawer it will refresh the widgets. Although for CNN you have to go to each feed for whatever widget you have. ex. tech widget stack, you must go the tech feeds in the CNN app and it brings the stack widget back up. Needs a fix

I don't think that is the problem. It has been on WiFI the whole time (I have WiFi configured to never disconnect) and it's never been out of range of my router.

I'm pretty sure I tried that, but next time it happens I'll give that a shot.
And just to be clear; the widget is literally invisible (not just empty).
When a stack widget has no items it is invisible. It's likely that from time to time the widget update failed and left the empty widget.

Perhaps, but they never seem to recover. I've left them alone for hours and they never reappear. Since it only seems to happen to these two widgets I think the problem lies with the widget implementation (i.e. coding problems).
I'm hoping for an update and until I get one I'm not using the widgets.
It didn't happen for a while now, but it did last night. I lost both the CNN widget and the weatherbug widget and they never recovered. i purposely refreshed all data and nothing. it's a bit annoying as the only solution is to delete the widget (if you long press in the general area where the widget was, it still thinks it's there and I can drag it to trash).
I have tried switching to a static wallpaper. I will report back.

I've always been on a static wallpaper and I still get the issue. I'd be curious if it helps you.
Static wallpaper did not help
Having the same problem with the CNN widget. I'm running LauncherPro and I thought it was the problem but I guess not. It must be a coding issue or refresh issue.
For Weaterbug, switch off "Enable my location" if it is on, and switch it on if it is off. That restores the widget. You can then set it as you wish.
I also have this problem. Mainly with the Accuweather widget disappearing. I use a static background. Stock Kernal. Not sure why it does this but.... I am sure this will get worked out in the upcomming builds.
Hi guys
Anyone else noticed this on their S2...?
When i set the digital clock with the date as a main widget on home screen, sometimes, if i reboot or load a video, play it and come back to the home screen, the widget shrinks in size slighty and removes the date.
This is the same when i use a beautiful widget clock/weather widget as well...
Not sure what i am doing wrong...
Any help guys?
Cheers
Merb
Yeah i have noticed this too. Don't know what causes this. What firmware are you on?
Does it happen with the stock time widget as well?
I have the Go Launcher Weather widget and it does this shrinking job sometimes after I exit apps. I thought it was a problem with the widget!
I'm on stock O2 ROM version: KE2
I recently noticed that the widget I was using on my homescreen wasn't responding Digital Clock Widget and would no longer take me directly to the alarm when pressed. I checked and it was still set up for that in the settings so I tried to remove the widget and put a new one up but to no avail. I tried restoring it with Titanium but no joy as well as uninstalling and starting from scratch. But when I installed it again, this time I couldn't see the app's widgets in the app drawer.
I've tried another clock app and can't see the widget for that either. I had a go at long pressing a blank area on the homescreen but the only option it gave was to change the wallpaper. I had a play with that and changed the wallpaper I'd set up from one of my photo's but when I went to put that back on, that doesn't work either. I'm stumped!
ROM - NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.7 [Nand]
Kernel - tytung_HWA_r3.4
Launcher - stock Trebuchet
Thanks for any pointers guys - sorry if this has a rather obvious answer but I've tried everything I could and am very new and rather tentative when it comes to the whole modding thing!
I removed the stock widget that came on my home screen and tried several widgets from the play store, and was unable to find one that I liked. Unfortunately I cannot see to locate the original one. I see the clock widget that had no weather info, and the weather widget is too large. Can anyone help me out with this (or another suggestion)? I just want something small that just displays time, date, and temp. Thanks.
Chronos clock and weather widget has a lot of options, I'm using the paid and have been for years so I may see more than you.
Stock widget is called OnePlus Widget
