After orientation change buttons on a widget are not responding

Question

I have two buttons on a widget that change some items in a widget, if an orientation is changed on a phone, buttons do nothing. I read http://developer.android.com/guide/top

Answer 1

The problem might be due to having two buttons on the Widget, which somehow causes problems. See here:

or

But it's not yet clear what the true solution is (a solution that doesn't need to create a background Service).
