[android-developers] Re: Stalling widget buttons after some time

I just had the issue also on my device. Strangly when I noticed it has
been little longer than 24 hours since I added the widget. And 24
hours is the updateperiod I've set.
Could it really have anything to do with that and if so, what???

Can't I just disable the updatePeriod?
