Help HTC Sense UI widgets update

Click the + symbol on the bottom right of the screen -> Select Widgets -> Select Get More Widgets -> Click Menu -> Select Update...

Question. I did this and there are a list of widgets on the update screen, NONE of which I actually have on my phone. But what do i do with that list and why are those apps there? How would I know if my current app list had updates??? They don't update automatically??

Ok 3 questions, not 1.. :eek:

Thanks for any help!!

Those are actually HTC Widgets, not apps. The Apps that you do have installed SHOULD notify you when there is an update, however I have found that I do not always get the update notification in my notification bar as soon as they are available.

If you are curious about App Updates, go into the Market, click Menu and then Downloads. This will show the apps currently installed on your phone that you downloaded. They will either say "Installed" or "Purchased", scroll through the list, if there are any updates it will say "Update Available".

I hope this answers your question(S)! ;)

Yes those are HTC widgets and are available for you on the phone. Unfortunately, I cannot speak to widgets themselves being updated since I have never seen an *update* for an HTC widget. If it has happened, I have missed it.

The update button I mentioned is (as far as I know and maybe others can elaborate) simply to check for more/additional HTC Widgets, not to update the ones you already have.
