"Shortcut Widget" cannot add anymore

[Guest ular_king]

Anyone has problem with their "Shortcut Widget"? Suddenly can't seem to add anymore but shortcuts can be remove....... :) When I click on the "+" icon, it just hang there with the wait cursor......

I have checked my /Windows/Start Menu folders and all shortcuts are working and there is no non english characters shortcut links.....

Found the problem, it was Lingvosoft Dictionary software...once removed...Shortcut widgets works again!

Since we are on the widget topic, just want to share something. Do you know that you can install widgets from http://widgets.opera.com. Just download the file and rename it to <filename>.wgt. Put it in your storage and click on it. It will prompt back widget installed.

I'm having the same problem here..

I am able to remove the shorcut but when I press the add button it seems that nothing happen, I only see a loading screen for about 5 seconds..

Anyone knows the solution?

I really suggest everybody to disable WidgetPlus... it's just a big lagfest:(

totally agree with tacchan23. Try pointui instead. Nicer and consume less program memory.

I just removed all the shortcut in shotrcut widget and can't put it back -.-'

Is it a common problem of this phone?

Anyway, how to disable WidgetPlus?

Previously I used Spb Shell but I don't think it looks nice

And I wonder whether that shell consumed my battery since I have to charge my phone almost every day

Can anyone share ur experience in using ur omnia ii? (how many days usually ur phone can last before it needs another charging, and how long does it take to charge the phone from about 10% battery power to full again)

Every charging session took me approximately 3-4 hours, really sick of that! And even though the battery is already 100% but when I try to turn it off there seems to be another part of the battery that is still in charging (the battery animation is still moving up and down for another 30-60 minutes)

To add a shortcut, you need to rename the app with long name (at Windows -> Start Menu -> Programs) to a short name.

For example: "Lingvosoft dictionary English to German" to just "Lingvo Eng-Ger".

However, I'll consider, how it was said before, to disable WidgetPlus and use other app, as SPB, SBSH, UltimateLaunch etc. :)

i had the same problem with my omnia shortcut widget.

i find your advise very useful - i open File explorer/ windows / start menu / programs - i just added a game "shortcut to chess and backgammon etc" very long name and since then my shortcut stop working. I deleted the shortcut and now my widget is working again. Thank you

sameproblem here- it never worked and i can't even find a simple widget to do the same thing. Most are just stup things (how many clocks do you really need) but none like a dirt simple "run app"

I searched through hundreds of opera widgets- most dont work but none just run a shortcut

I tried making my own - but i don't know java

So I just use the touchwiz screen to dispay a few pictures. SPB mobile shell does the real work
