Hi,
I think a similar problem has been asked earlier, but I've had no luck. My "Rappy" won't update appointments correctly on the home screen. And no, I don't use the big clock so that only 1 appointment is displayed - I always use the small one. The bug has no clear pattern as far as I can see - but usually the home screen shows only 1 of tomorrows appointments (when I have 4 that day - and no all-day appointments). Sometimes, but rarely, it displays some of tomorrows appointments, and after 0:00, some of the next appointments may appear.
I use TouchFlo3D yes, but even turning it off, the bug is still there - so it's probably not TF3D. I've checked the options for today, and even changed the calendar options (even though TF3d overrides it and removes the v next to Calendar). I've tried changing today time-out to something else than 6 hours - no luck. I've tried editing or deleting the appointments, and making them over again - no luck.
Any ideas? I've recently hard-reset it and it messed up all my text-messages - so I'm hoping there is some other way than to hard-reset it again? Also, I'm probably kinda weird but I like the simplistic look on Home screen with the small clock - it's simple and fast to see the clock and upcoming appointments (when that works ), and don't really want to install something to replace TF3D. (Still a n00b ) Still, as I mentioned earlier the bug also happens while TF3D is disabled.
Any suggestions?

At first glance, this seems like a simple problem: duplicate reminders! We've all experienced them. There is plenty of software to deal with them. They are usually very easy to fix.
But I have a duplicate reminder issue I just cannot figure out on my Touch Pro. I'm wondering if anybody else has experienced this.
First of all, it doesn't appear to actually be duplicate reminders in the traditional sense. There is only a single entry in the Notification Queue (confirmed in MemMaid and dotfred's task manager). So, please don't reply with "download memmaid."
What happens is this. Every so often, I get a calendar reminder pop-up that appears twice (ONLY the pop-up appears twice -- in the calendar there is only ONE appointment). Basically, it will show "two reminders" and I can flip between them by press left and right, but they correspond to the SAME appointment. I can postpone one and the other is still there. I can postpone that one, but they'll reappear at the next interval. I'm not sure what happens if I postpone one and dismiss the other. I imagine they'll both dismiss since it points to the same entry in the NQ.
It seems to happen most often to recurring appointments (but not always). Each time a dupe recurs, I get two nice little pop-ups. Sometimes deleting the recurring appointment and recreating it fixes that. Sometimes rebuilding the notification queue in memmaid will fix non-recurring appointments (doesn't help recurring).
But this is very annoying because I can't find a common pattern or solution.
Things to note:
1. ActiveSync'ed to Exchange 2007 with Push enabled.
2. Syncing last 30 days of calendar appts
3. Nightly MemMaid clean (every NQ options selected except "rebuild" in my nightly because I don't want postponed reminders to pop-up in the middle of the night)
4. Stock Sprint ROM and Radio
Anybody have any clues? Thanks!
I know there have been other posts regarding this but I haven't seen one referencing what is happening with my TP2.
My phone seems frozen or locked up almost all of the time. I think I have determined it has something to do with email synchronizing. I have 7 pop email accounts and often it may be slow connecting, loging on etc. If I turn sychronizing to manual it never occurs until I sync at least one account. The email accounts are spread among three different ISP's so I don't believe it is ISP related.
I press all the buttons nothing happens for a while (at least several minutes. ) If I pull the stylus out the buttons light up. If I double tap my bluetooth headset it will wake up and place a call. Outside of that it is unresponsive.
Any body have any ideas?
Thanks

but it seems like the phone hardware and WinMo are working fine, just Sense gets all fubar'd. whatever was on the screen last gets stuck on the screen, but the notification bar and the softkey bar at the bottom both work just fine

You answered your own question. Sense is a memory hog to begin with. Introducing the 7 e-mail accounts into the equation certainly doesn't help anything. Either cut down on the number of accounts or live with the problem.
There is always the option of using SEVEN. It's a program that gives you push e-mail on your device for free. I doubt you could use 7 accounts with it, but it takes up little resources when in use. You would also have less data used and shorter connection times, as well as (hopefully) no more freezes.
You could also try installing some memory saving applications. The one that will give you the most free space cleared is QuickMenu. Do a search for it. The caveat to this is that the standard version causes you to loose the settings links. One user, colossus_r, has a version that adds the settings back. Also, to increase the space between the items for a more finger-friendly feel, go into QuickMenu > Option > View tab > Menu item edge = 16.
This is one of two things that is stopping my phone from being perfect ... (first being root )
The calendar widget will often say 'Loading', more often it has ever done on any other phone... this is definitely a bug, as I have had the calendar update without it saying 'Loading', so it seems as if its constantly reloading the widget...
Please reply if you have a Calendar widget that often says 'Loading' or if you have a perfect Calendar widget that never says 'Loading' (are you out there?)
Please reply with your carrier and any branding as well....
Thanks so much.
Mine very often says "loading". I have an unbranded phone.
Mine does this as well. Even switching from the calendar screen to the next screen then right back to the calendar screen it will say loading and take a second or 2.
T-mobile
No. The only thing that loads time to time is that when I restart the phone it says Jan 24 (default date) and goes to the current date within a second or two.
I have unbranded asian version and it doesn't say loading. Friend stream widget and news widget always say loading though for 1-2 seconds.
Yes mine is always saying loading and it never is showing me my up comming events that i have in the calender (unless i have missed something in setting up)
Unbranded, unlocked from HK

You are saying that you are using the HTC Agenda widget, either the full screen agenda or the 1 X 4 agenda widget, and it doesn't say 'Loading' apart from when you first enabled the widget?
I get 'loading' on the Bookmarks widget and on the Agenda widget. Very 1990s haha.

it's the same things for me,htc calendar,bookmarks and sometimes htc mail too.
But,when you restart your device and you go on bookmarks widget,calendar,mail..
you must refresh for 2 seconds,and after it's ok for a long time....but how much exactly?
I think sense have an automatic refresh to have the latest version of contents....but when exactly?
lot of people are concerned by this, and i'm sure that nobody have a constant fix widget for a long time....
I think someone should fix this
I am on Virtuous right now and I keep getting the loading still
This is driving me mad. It seems to effect all widgets on your home screens. They do not seem to update when not in focus. I have mini info widget and it does not update until I switch to that home screen. Some thing is preventing this update. My previous EVO 4g worked fine. Must be a bug.
i realize only friend stream and calendar widget from HTC act in this manner, someone?
No one. I've given up on this and moved on to Pure Calendar Widget. Takes a bit getting used to... but once set up, I feel I prefer it over HTC agenda.
All,
First time poster, frequent visitor of XDA Forums. I've come across an odd issue that I don't know how to solve and I'm hoping some of you smarter than me folks can get me squared away.
I have a Galaxy S8+ from AT&T running Android 7.0 and Samsung Experience 8.1.
Problem:
I've recently noticed a delay or completely non-updating interface on my phone. It updates on occasion, but I can't determine what triggers an update. For example, I will pick up my phone from the desk and when I press the power button it shows the accurate time. When I unlock the device, the sense flip clock I use on the main home screen shows an earlier time (could be 30 minutes... could be a few hours). I don't believe it's just the Sense app because I noticed this issue where I checked a facebook messenger app that came and and when I closed the app, it still showed I had 1 notification. I went back in thinking I had another new message, but I didn't. So it was still hanging on to the notification. It happened a couple times with a text message as well. Most importantly, my calendar doesn't alert me prior to an appointment either, even though it's showing in my calendar and an alert is active. If I save an event, and exit, I can normally see the event appear on the on widget immediately as well... but that hasn't been happening. I have to press the widget to open it and confirm it is there (which it always is). Eventually it refreshes and shows up. But that delay is likely the reason why I'm not getting my alerts.
All of this did seem to happen after a recent update Samsung/AT&T pushed out but I don't know for sure. I tried clearing the cache from the boot menu but it doesn't seem there is wide success with that.
And perhaps I'm just not a good enough user, but everything isn't all backed up in the cloud so doing the factory reset to me is always a fairly large task as I have many things to manually transfer out and then back in. Not sure if there are great tools that help with this on a stock phone.
Samsung smart switch works wonders, the only thing that doesn't restore is passwords, you have to have and external SD card for it to work, or plug it in to a computer

Go to settings and check if your time is setup to adjust automatically.

That is not the issue. As mentioned, it's not just the clock it's multiple interfaces.

High level overview of issues...
I have the Ring Doorbell app. I get notifications after "live". Could be 5 minutes, could be 1 hour... or possibly not at all. I have the app setup on my wife's iPhone and she gets them immediately. If I restart the phone, I will get notified right away (it's like it runs the app again and then I get the notification). Keep in mind, this is AFTER i disabled the battery optimization feature for the Ring app.
I also notice it occasionally with texting. I won't have any text notification in the notification panel, nor will my messaging icon have a little red circle indicating a message is there. But if I open the app, a specification conversation will have a red circle indicating a new text is unread.
All of this is leading me to believe the Samsung UI itself is not updating and therefore notifications that actually have arrived (from whatever app), are not displaying because of the UI and not because of their own delay.
Because of this concern I have turned off battery optimization for "System UI", "Themes", and "TouchWiz Home". I have not seen any change however.
[Solved]
I was able to determine by various other threads around the web (thought for sure I'd find it here, but I didn't) that the culprit might be the Google app. Supposedly it was fixed in some prior release, but it's not on my Galaxy S8+ w/ AT&T.
Once I disabled the Google app all the odd issues with notifications and clock interfaces and app icons not updating went away. The downside to disabling it is that I lose the Google Assistant functionality which stinks but otherwise there is no impact to using the phone. I re-enabled it at a later date and it worked fine for a few days and then started acting up again. Once I disabled it, the problems all disappeared. Clearly Google app is to blame.
I am constantly losing the weather info from the At A Glance widget and on the lockscreen. I never lose data and it's happening on both WiFi and mobile data (twice as often on mobile). I have reset the phone to factory default and had nothing installed on the phone so it's completely stock out of the box. Turning location off and back on doesn't fix it. The only way I can get it back is to add another copy of the At A Glance widget to the home screen which immediately brings it back, then delete that widget. Rinse and repeat a day later. Is anyone else having this issue and any idea how to fix it (if that's even possible)?
Yep, I have been facing that issue with the widget too. The weather simply disappears for no reason. But I had that issue with my previous Android One device too(Nokia 7.1). So I somehow feel the issue is with the widget itself and not much to do with the device.
A quick fix for this is adding the 'at a glance' widget to a blank space on your home screen, usually it brings the weather data back for me, but this is not permanent, it will disappear again some time.
