Some Widgets Not Working

[gish]

A couple of my HTC widgets aren't working. Most notably the Tasks one. When I try to add it to the home screen, nothing happens. Is this happening to everyone, or did I get a bad phone?

Hi gish! I can help with the issue you're experiencing with your widgets. Can you assist me with the process you're using? Do you press and hold on an unoccupied area of your homescreen to add a widget? If so, when you select Tasks, what happens? Does the widget simply not appear or do you get a widget that doesn't function?

I've tried both holding the home screen, and also adding it through Menu --> Personalize. It doesn't show up at all.

One more thing I need you to do: Please perform a soft reset of the phone and try to add the widget again. Soft resets are completed by removing the battery from the phone, waiting 30 seconds and then reattaching. You should be able to add the widget.

If it still fails, please take an inventory of how many widgets are currently on the home screen, and then send me a direct message with your name and phone number. Thanks!

The battery can't be removed on the Rhyme. I will message you shortly.

I'm sorry, I don't see how to direct message you? It says your email is unavailable. I currently have eight widgets, but when I first tried to add the Tasks one, I didn't have any.

To send a direct message, you only have to hover over my user name. I've sent you a message, so all you've gotta do is reply to mine!

Actually it seems that until the user follows you and then you agree to allow them to follow you the option usually doesnt show to reply...  B33 traced this issue down when the site first came online..
