Widgets application crashes

jwen — Tue, 08 Apr 2014 16:03:46 GMT

Hi,

Somes widgets had disappeared form the screen of my MT15i. When I tried to restore them, I got "widgets appli unfortunately crashes". A restart of the phone changed nothing. I get always the same answer. So I can no more install original widgets from Sony (except if I change my launcher whith a third part one). Is it possible to restore only the original application for widgets on MT15i, without reinstalling the all software and loosing data ?

Thanks for the answer.

If you have a third party launcher you won't be able to use Sony's widgets

I don't understand your question, but again, if you use a third party launcher you are not going to be able to use Sony's widgets, there isn't a way around it.

Sorry. I was using the original Sony launcher when, suddenly, without any reason, as I tried to append a Sony widget on the home screen (right button then append and widget) the message "widget apply has unfortunately stopped" appear with "OK". I had just to push to OK to return to the home screen, without the widget I was trying to get. Another time it display red zones instead of widget with the message "widget cannot been found". As I need widget, I tried then another launcher from google play (AWD) and it works. I can so again add wiget on my home screen.

I hope now it is clear to you. Thanks for your interest.

That's quite odd, you could try this

settings > apps > all > home launcher > clear data > restart your phone and try again

I did it, and so I get the red zones instead of the widgets. All seems as if the phone cannot find the widgets to display. But they are still there, because another launcher found them !

Have you modified or sideloaded the widgets and/or the home launcher?
