a) Does that mean that a widget will always appear on the home screen?
b) On the home screen I can scroll left or right, which either 1) goes to more home screens, or 2) stops displaying the icons, plus date and time, which I have on my home screen.
c) Is a widget always using the internet in order to change its display?
At the moment I'm leaving mobile data permanently on to see what level of usage I can expect. After two weeks, total mobile usage is 94MB, of which 74MB was used by Yahoo Weather. Is this sort of usage necessary, or should I disable mobile data on this app?
EDIT : Sorry, I've just realised that not only am I off-topic, but I'm even in the wrong forum. Sorry about that, but I assume the principles are the same.
