View 23 RepliesI know this has been brought up in the past, but last mention of this is about 3 months ago. And in those 3 months, there have been probably thousands more new apps out there for our phone.So, what are the favorites? And what are must-haves? This goes for games as well. Are there games that are still getting constant play on your phone?In my opinion, Handcent and Shapewriter seem to be my favorite and necessary ones. As for games, I keep playing Cestos.

Pandora
S2 Calendar
gTasks
MixZing
MotoTorch
Weather Forecast
If clicking the widget just opens the program then to me it's not really a widget even if the program creates an entry in the add widgets menu. So what are your favorites?
Just include the name, description and picture. It will be interesting to see what some people have. I am looking forward to learning of some new goodies.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have had my Inc for a few weeks and am still trying to fill up screens and get things set up just the way I want them. I know there have been threads like this in the past, but most of them were from LONG before we got our phones. Since things seem to change frequently I figured I would pick everyone's brains and see what they like. So, what are your absolute favorite apps and widgets .those you can't live without.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI really enjoyed the Movies App from Flixster - but since the update it hasnt been working. What are favorite applications?
-Bonsi Blast - Greatt game to pass some time
-Advanced Task Killer - Works perfect for me, Ends Applications that are running in the background
-i Music - Best Music app - Allows you to download MP3 for free
-Shaazam - Displays song titles for the unknown - works awesome with i Music
-Sports Tap - has a great widget that allows you to just show your current fav team (i have bruins, shows live game score in widget and also sends alerts during game to your notifcation bar)
I would like to hear what you guys have or think is a useful/great application
I would have to say my favorite part of the new update is I am able to edit words in my user dictionary. I hated in 1.5 if you typed something in wrong you were out of luck. What is your favorite part?
View 8 Replies View RelatedFor some reason my favorite defaults are not working. For instance I set up my friend's mobile as the favorite, yet it dials her home number.Does anyone know how to reset this? I have several contacts that are experiencing the same problem.

What is your LEAST favorite app that you've downloaded or paid for? Why would you discourage others from downloading/buying it?
I'm trying to use the full screen widget and it lets me put two in there and then when I go to add the third it blows away the other two....
View 7 Replies View RelatedIn 1.5, there was a htc widget that you can put on your home screen and add your favorite contacts to it, and it allows you to choose the action of calling or texting when you tap on their pictures.
I couldn't find this widget anywhere in 2.1. Also, is there any app/widget that is similar to the one im talking about from 1.5?
I'm looking for a favorite contact widget if not the same or close to the stock one
View 2 Replies View RelatedInstalled 2.1, on Droid Eris, (twice), seems to be running great. Double my battery life. One problem:
I don't get the little favorite option. My favorites home screen works, but on the call>menu I have People and Call History, but no Favorites button? When the Verizon upgrade came up, the first time I did not use the option to clear data. Big mistake. Make sure you clear data when upgrading to 2.1.
What are you favorite and/or most addictive games you play on your Eris?
Lately, I've been hooked on:Spider Man (by DroidHen)
Abduction! World Attack (by Psym Mobile)
What about you??
I'm using an Eris at the moment, and favorites that were populated by default shows a card and prompts me for the desired action. I realize that selecting the name below the icon allows me to choose different actions, but I have very poor accuracy in trying to tap on just the name, so for contacts that I've added that I'm forced to choose a default action, it's very difficult for me to choose an alternate action.
The instruction manual says to "press and hold" the contact to change the default action, but that selects the entire widget to move or discard.
Does anyone know how to change the default action to prompt me each time I open a specific favorite contact?
I've seen this question for the Hero too, but with no answers. Posted on the HTC forum, but that's looking rather un-promising.
How do I delete a single user from the favorite widget? I can delete the entire widget but not a single user.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter the update when i hit the phone icon, the "favorites" icon used to be at the bottom right after the green call tab. now there is an icon for call history.
i cannot for the life of me get it back. verizon says it was lost after the upgrade. i put the "people" icon on my now when i need to call a friend who is on my "favorite" list, i hit that icon, it brings me to all contacts and at the bottom i then have to depress favorites which brings up groups, then hit favorites. like 4 steps to make a phone call?
anybody figure out how to get the favorite icon back on the phone screen?
How can you make it so when you tap on a favorite person in the widget it gives you the choice to call or or sms?

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I was just curious as to what widgets people are running on their eris. I am currently running the stock facebook widget,twidget lite, scoreboard widget, the nexus one news and weather widget and the stock music widget. I am currently running home instead of sense and was just wondering what other good widgets are out there.

View 13 Replies View RelatedWell, I just got my OTA update, and now there is only one Sense Widget available on my phone. There are a handful more available via the market, but none of the ones that I had previously used. Has anyone else seen this happen?
It's more than a little frustrating as my customized home screen was pretty heavy on the HTC widgets.
I can't be the only one that this doesnt work for right? I updated earlier today and it was posted many times that the get more htc widgets feature was fixed...Is their a setting I need to configure for this to work, or am I just s.o.l?
View 49 Replies View RelatedSo what I'd like to do on one of my corner screens is have 4 music widgets, each one set to a different playlist. is this possible? I am rooted and using Suave Smash, but I'm willing to DL a different music program if I need to. The playlists are already created and accessible in the music app, I would just like them in a widget on the screen.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAre there any apps out there that will allow me to put widgets on my lockscreen? I'd really just like to have the weather show up. I am not rooted and I'm running stock 2.1.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI was having issues with the home clock/weather thingy on my Eris so I downloaded Beautiful Widgets - my husband is running it on his Moto Droid and loves it. Anyway, ever since I installed it two days ago the widgets keep turning themselves off and on.This morning I put the phone in vibrate mode and several hours later (after I missed a call) I looked and phone was in silent mode with vibrate mode still turned on. Also, twice now my mobile connection has turned off by itself. (I have the HTC widget installed on one of my homescreens.) I only discovered this when I tried to browse a webpage. Who knows at what point the mobile network was turned off. I don't exactly know how beautiful widgets turns itself off but it's concerning to me that it could also turn the mobile network off somehow too. (I have to assume BW is causing the issue as it had never happened before it was installed.)Help? Ideas?
