Editing Widgets

Post by quickfix12 »

Hello

Is there anyway to edit a widget, or do you have to delete it and reconfigure it?

Thanks

The only way is to press the tiny icon in the top right and quickly click on the body of the widget before it actually updates. However, you would need to do these two touches within about half a second!

Alternatively, you could Clear Data on the Hanping Pro app but this will also wipe your History and other preferences (though your Starred items will not be affected so no need to worry about those). Generally, you would rather remove and re-add a widget than do this.

Sorry there is currently not a better way.

Thanks that seems to work - maybe I have quick fingers (worked 3 out of 4) by clicking top right and then body of widget.

There is another way (though not always convenient and may depend on make and model of phone):
When you connect your phone to your PC and mount the USB storage it disconnects it from the phone. Flick back to your screen displaying your HanPing widget(s) and click the tiny 'next' icon in the top right hand corner. The widget will then complain that it cannot find the SD card. Disconnect the phone from your PC, this will automatically remount the SD card, you can then click on the widget and change the settings.
