Android 2.9 - Widget no longer available

Postby jeffers » Thu Jul 07, 2011 8:08 pm

Since todays upgrade to v2.9 it looks like the subsonic widget has disappeared. Its no longer in the widget list :(

Not sure if this is related to the fact that its now possible to install to the SD card. Not sure if you can loads widgets from the SD memory

Anyone?

Shows up on mine. You might try an uninstall and a reboot and reinstall to see if it restores it.

From the Android developer guide (http://developer.android.com):

If a user unmounts their phone's SD card (for external drive use, etc), certain consequences apply. One is:

"Your App Widget will be removed from the home screen. When external storage is remounted, your App Widget will not be available for the user to select until the system resets the home application (usually not until a system reboot)."

So, it sounds like if you move Subsonic to your SD card and mount your phone as external storage on your PC, the Subsonic widget may go away.
