Android: No widget on Home Screen after Reinstall

Stevewalsh1955 — Mon, 19 Sep 2022 19:07:19 GMT

Pandora was crashing regularly. I uninstalled it and reinstalled. I'm currently on version 2208.2. When I uninstalled the widget went away and I can't see a way to get it back.

App is installed to internal mrmory. Samsung Galaxy S-21 5G.

@Stevewalsh1955 We had a similar report from someone on this thread: Android: Unable to Locate Widget on Galaxy Flip Android 12

Make sure both "App Notifications" and "App icon badges" are enabled for Pandora.

This seems to have solved the issue for that user.

Let me know how it goes.

To clarify, I'm referring to the widget that was on my home screen, not the lock screen widget, which is still there.

Also, I'm not able to find the App icon badges setting.

Thanks for confirming, @Stevewalsh1955.

Could you try using these steps to add the widget?

On a Home screen, touch and hold an empty space.
Tap the Widgets icon
Touch and hold a widget. You’ll get images of your Home screens.
Slide the widget to where you want it. Lift your finger.

Tip: Some apps come with widgets. Touch and hold the app. Then tap Widgets

Feel free to let us know how it goes. 🎧
