On CM6, BTW. I have it set for 15 minute refresh, but it never seems to update that often. I don't use a task killer, and the widget is shown as running in System Panel.
It's completely random for me. Sometimes it does it on it's own, but at random intervals, sometimes have to manually refresh, sometimes I click it and it doesn't do anything, sometimes I do and it says refresh in progress but never refreshes.
This seems normal on all of the "pure" widgets. My calendar just started bugging out on me a little while ago. Its random, but annoying at the same time.

Sucks because otherwise they are great. Wish there was "Pure News" which did for HTC News widget what Pure Messenger did for Friend Stream.

Hi,
Relatively new the android, I have been using Nokia for the most time.
Lately on my captivate I found out that when I press the google voice app it takes substantially longer to open. I mean much longer than other apps - maps, gmail etc. I am on WIFI, so it shouldb't be a connection problem.
Has anyone seen this problem?
Thanks!
Occasionally, when I do open the app, it takes a while. This is usually after a reboot, however. After the first open, the app backgrounds and opens up very quickly.
Thanks.
But this happens to me all the time, it takes like 3 seconds to open.
I to have the same issue. A good 3-5 sec delay. I am using LauncherPro, have no idea if that has anything to do with it.
yea, i am using launcherpro too..
I noticed this too. I just made a habit of hitting home to get out of the app rather than back-ing out and closing it. If it's cached/running it opens instantly.
Also, I applied RyanZA's ext2 lagfix and it fixed this completely so it's probably an I/O "issue".
that sounds like a good idea.
I haven't used any fix yet. I think i am going to wait for froyo or custom roms to come out and see the difference.
now my phone is completely stock not rooted or anything.
1. Why do i have two facebook apps ? facebook and facebook for htc sense, the latter does not show up in the market, so it never updates itself?
2. When the battery level reaches 15 % the capacitive keys stop vibrating and the internet shuts off, i know this is done to save batetry, but i find it really annoying that it doesnt turn everything back on when the battery is charged
3. Do widgets take that long to load? i dont get it , the twitter widget i get but what about the music player? it always displays a song/album i was listening 20 minutes ago, i have to waitlike 4 seconds for the widget to refresh, that's something my milestone did instantly

It updates with the ROM. It is an integrated part of Sense.

You can turn these features off in Settings. I've never used them, not even once so I can't tell you about turning the features back on.

I think that is actually a fault of the widget, it does that to me as well. If you leave the screen on the widget and the screen running, it does update however. I use it in my car when running a Sense ROM.

I just tried the new sense 3.0 rom and the widgets refreshing now take less time, cheers to that
Another thing i noticed is that i erased facebook for android, and facebook no longer appears on my app tray, im pretty sure there used to be 2 facebooks, facebook ( for htc sense) and facebook ( for android) :/ was i imagining things?

Yup, facebook for HTC is Friend stream. It also does twitter, and with a download, linked in.

So strange issue - the Facebook widget has a real hard time updating if at all. It may update every 24 hours sometimes it takes longer and sometimes not at all. I finally decided to uninstall Facebook and reinstall it. The app itself works perfectly including for now push notifications BUT the widget just won't work.
Just reinstalling it, the widget is blank and just says "Refreshing statuses"
What's odd is the widget and my account work perfectly on my G2X side by side so wouldn't that rule out a Facebook issue? I think it has something to do with Sense interfering with this. Anybody having a similar issue?
Bump. So is it just me?

I tried the widget once & it took forever its first time to load up
Nearly every time I exit an app, then home screen has to re-draw itself. It just seems very laggy, and I'm not sure what I'm doing to cause this behavior. The worst culprits seem to be my beautiful widgets home clock and my astrid tasks widgets. They take a good second or two before they're re-loaded into the home screen. Is this just an example of TW being terrible? Are others having this problem?
Thanks!
I notice the same thing and I'm not using those widgets. It's kind of sad some of these issues that have plauged android/Samsung since the S1 still exist.
That tends to happen after I am done texting someone, and then hit the home key. The only thing that redraws is the TouchWiz weather widget. Kinda sucks but I imagine another launcher would help.

I notice it after texting also. Especially if I hit the home key while the status of the text is still 'sending'. Very annoying, and kind of frustrating considering the specs of this phone. I can't imagine why the launcher can't be kept in memory, considering there's two gigs of ram on this thing. I guess I'll try moving to a different launcher.
I found that all touchwiz widgets suffer from this (weather, clock, calendar). The problem went away after I installed 3rd party widgets to replace those. I also installed Nova Launcher and I noticed in Nova, the stock calendar widget would still do the annoying refresh.
Stock bloated roms will cause this. Move to synergyRom and the redraws will be gone. FOR-EVER

I'm using Apex and have not had a single redraw. I'm mostly stock but rooted with a lot of apps frozen or removed.
One issue I do have is with an app called Agenda Widget; it doesn't redraw but occasionally when I return to the home screen it reloads my appointments. It literally takes a fraction of a second but even that annoys me. It's not a redraw because I can see the widget but it says "loading" where my appointments should be.
I used Apex for a long time & recently switched to Nova, both of these can be kept in memory which totally eliminates the redraw problem.
About a week or two ago, my Note 10.1 started telling me pretty frequently that my Gmail app has stopped (pop up where screen goes dark and you can click Ok or Report). Clicking ok exits out and the app functions fine after that but will give the popup again 5-30 min later. It seems totally random but has become frequent enough to be annoying, especially when I am watching videos. I cleared the cache in the app settings but that doesn't seem to have stopped it.
I am avoiding clearing data because I have a lot of subfolders set up with unique notifications and its a pain in the ass to get that all back the way I like it.... but could that be the resolution? Anyone else encountering this issue?
