PM Jerry, they are his screen caps. I'm sure he will respond quickly.

I PM'd him earlier today about the same thing. Still waiting to hear back. When I do, I'll make sure to post in this thread.

I'd be very interested in an answer to this as well. I was really looking forward to using the HTC news reader on my new incredible, but there's no sign of it on the phone.

I was wondering the same thing! be sure to post up when you guys find out!

That's just the Sense news widget.

I've looked for a "news" widget on my Inc. The only widget I see is the Reuters Pro widget/app, which I downloaded myself.

???

Agreed. This widget does look very Sense-ish but I sure don't have it on my Incredible either.

I did notice when I first got my phone there was a news widget and now mine is gone too. I checked in the application list and it is there but for some reason doesn't show up when your adding a widget. You could try a factory reset and maybe that will bring it back to the widget list.

**hadisious** · 05-03-2010, 09:08 PM

i was wondering this as well however I cannot find it anywhere on my phone or in the market

**TBolt** · 05-03-2010, 09:26 PM

I uninstalled both Reuters Pro and MSNBC just in case they had somehow replaced this mysterious Sense news widget. No luck -- still nothing even after a reboot.

O well...

Anyone know how to get the Stock Android News & Weather widget on the Incredible without loading a custom ROM? I don't love the Sense Widgets. I think they're too big and don't leave enough room for my apps.

Any idea why it doesn't seem to be available on the Incredible? After your review of the new Sense, I was really looking forward to using this widget on the new phone.

**jasonb** · 05-03-2010, 11:23 PM

i'd like this widget as well.

**andyandroid** · 05-03-2010, 11:27 PM

This will get you the Nexus news and weather app.

Thats not the same one.

I really need this widget.

I found a where someone attached the source files, but they were not able to get it installed.

**generous** · 05-04-2010, 05:49 AM

Okay, I've done a ton of searching. All I could find is threads just like this one on other sites. "Where is the news widget on the droid incredible".

Phil- You are the one. You gotta hook us up with an install of that HTC news widget you have on your DI.

I need this. :-P

**jskolm85** · 05-04-2010, 11:39 AM

That looks like it will be a cool New widget once I get my new Inc, this week,

I hope we get info on what it is.

**generous** · 05-04-2010, 01:32 PM

Its the HTC Sense 'News' widget. I found an APK, but it does not install. What a shame. I really want something like this.

Hook us up Phil!

**TBolt** · 05-04-2010, 01:38 PM

(sniffle) It must be one of those special pre-release toys for bloggers only. hehehe.

**DanRyb** · 05-04-2010, 01:50 PM

From what I've been able to find, this widget is on the HTC Hero and HTC Desire but for some reason is NOT on the HTC Incredible. I really want to use this widget too. It looks like the screen shots used in that "review" are from when one of those other two phones were reviewed.
