You can find widgets in several ways:

• The Download! application on your device
• The MOSH service at http://store.ovi.com
• Websites of service providers and third-party widget developers and service providers

Using a widget and accessing the services and content it provides may be chargeable, depending on the widget developer or the service provider.

Most widgets are internet applications. Using them may require internet access that may incur data charges associated with using widgets. For more information, contact your service provider.

Currently widgets are supported by Nokia N78, Nokia N95 8GB running a software version 15.0.015 or newer and Nokia N95 running on software version 21.0.016. If your device is running an older software version, update the device software using the Nokia Software Update service. In the future all S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2 devices will support the widgets.

If you get the message “feature not supported” when attempting to install a widget, update the software of your device.

Widgets have very limited access to the data and services on your device. However, as with any other applications, websites, or internet services, be careful when installing widgets and providing personal information through them. Make sure that the widget is from a trustworthy source such as the Nokia Download! application.

To start a widget, click the widget icon in your device menu. By default, the installed widgets are in the Applications folder.

You can also search for a widget using the Nokia Search application. Type the first few characters of the widget name, and click the widget name when it appears in the My Content list.

No. The technology used to develop widgets for the S60 platform is very similar to the one used by other widgets technology providers such as Microsoft or Apple. However, only widgets packaged for S60 run on a Nokia device that supports widgets.

To personalise your device by creating your own widgets, see the Forum Nokia website at www.forum.nokia.com. It contains lots of information on the requirements and how to get started.

Do the following

• Send the widget installation file to your friend. The filename extension is .wgz, such as weatherbug.wgz. Send the file from your PC or mobile device using e-mail or Bluetooth connectivity.

Download and install a new version of it. This overwrites the previous installation, therefore you may lose settings stored in the widget.

To preserve your widgets when you update the software of your mobile device, back up the content of your device before the update. After the update, restore the content from the backup.

You can create shortcuts for your most frequently used widgets to the list of applications displayed in the active standby mode. For details, see the user guide for your device.

You can also organise your widgets by creating a new folder and moving the widgets to it. For details, see the user guide for your device.

When you are running a widget, you can quickly switch between the widget and other open applications on your device by pressing the menu key for a few seconds.

This depends on the available memory in your device. Typically, you should be able to run at least three to five widgets at the same time.

Yes they do. Like any other applications, active widgets consume resources available on your device. This has an impact on, for example, battery consumption, data consumption, and memory. The impact is similar to that of any other application and depends on the type of the widget.

Not all widgets require internet connectivity. If all the resources needed by the widget can be stored locally, then network connectivity is not needed and will not be established by the widget. For example, some game widgets work locally and do not require network connection.

Widgets requiring network connectivity share the network settings with your default Nokia Browser application. The widgets either ask which internet access point (IAP) to use, or use the default IAP. To change the settings for widgets, change the settings for the browser.

Yes, a widget can use WLAN IAPs, as well as cellular network connections such as GSM, EDGE, or UMTS.

Currently this feature is not supported. If you move out of network range, you must reconnect or restart the widget.

There can be several reasons for this:

• The widget does not require a network connection.
• You already have a widget open and connected to the network. All widgets use the existing connection.
• Your browser application is configured to use a default connection IAP. All widgets use that connection.
• The widget is malfunctioning. Contact the widget developer or your service provider.

Yes, widgets can remain active in the background if so designed. It is recommended that developers set widgets active in the background only if the function of the widget requires it. This optimises the use of device resources, and decreases data costs.

You can interact with a widget in several ways, depending on the widget functions:

• Use a pointer, as you would in the browser application.
• Use tabs, as you would in other applications, such as messaging or calendar.

Nokia provides basic guidelines for designing widgets, but widget developers can define widget layout and functions independently.

If a single widget is not working properly, contact the widget developer or your service provider.

If none your widgets are working properly, contact Nokia Care.

If your device stopped working or is malfunctioning after installing widgets, contact Nokia Care.

If you have downloaded the widget from a Nokia source, contact Nokia Care and report the case.

If you have downloaded the widget from a service provider or another third-party widget developer, contact the service provider or the developer.

Select Exit on the widget user interface.

Select the widget icon in your device menu, and press C, or select Options > Remove. This uninstalls the widget from your device, but not the widget installation package file (.wgz file).

Back up your device content before the software update, and restore the content from the backup after the update.

Nokia offers small web applications, called widgets. They are built on Web Runtime, which is an open standard. An increasing number of Nokia devices (S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2) support this standard in the near future, allowing you to pick and choose the widgets that are most interesting to you.

WidSets is a service with a dashboard that contains all your favourite widgets. WidSets widgets are Java-based, and they work almost on all devices that support Java MIDP 2.0.
