Finally Got the OTA Update today. Went through as normal until I have discovered that all of my clocks are missing. The Clock app is there but the Clocks are not. I know this may not be an issue for most but my clocks widgets are missing and under applications it reads 0.0B for the file size. Unfortunately I am bone stock and this is a system file so I think I will have to manually update the device now. I was trying to avoid having to this ......

go to menu/settings/applications/manage apps/all and scroll downt o HTC sense and clear data. Then press home button you should get a white HTC screen for a second. after that you should see the clock widget.
Thanks, that did it for me.....

So, I'm a big fan of the apps Beautiful Widgets and Fancy Widgets...but the silly things will not work with CM7. Is there a setting that I'm missing, or something I'm not doing right?
If these just will not work at all, are there any valid replacements? I search and search on the forums, but I can't seem to find a solution. Any help on the matter is appreciated. Thanks guys.
Im using the MIUI themed Fancy Widget on CM7 just fine.. I'll download and try beautiful widgets as well just to check. Have you went to settings->applications->the app name->clear data?
No problems here use be on my home screen daily

Try un installing/ re installing? I run BW every day on CM7 no issues... also try clockworkmod and fix permissions... that mostly makes all crazy stuff better
Ok, so I've gotten the clock part working... had to fix permissions in Clockwork (thank you ibcenu), but now it's not displaying the weather portion. It tells me I'm in an unknown location - maybe it's because of a gps issue, I'm just not sure... I can use the new Superclock and display my battery, but I'd rather see what the weather's doing instead.
Yeah just go to configure the beautiful widget and set location it should work fine
and make sure it is NOT on your SD card..it has to be on the phone to work right...

this is the reason i dont use clockwork or rom manager !!!
My weather wont display when I choose Google as my provider (Fancy Widget Pro). I have to select Weather.com, or whatever it is.
the date widget comes install on the tablet doesn't update for me for some reason. I want to reinstall it but not sure what it's called. i like how the widget only shows the date without clock or weather and in big font. is there an good alternative I can use?

If you press and hold the widget and drag it to the remove word at the top, it will let you re-add the widget, which should refresh itself properly daily. Press and hold an empty space on the screen, select widget, and it's called Asus Time Widget for some reason. Beautiful widgets lets you add alternatives if you still have problems with the asus one, although there are lots of others similar on the market.
neotekz, I also am having the same problem. Did you ever get it solved? Removing and re-adding like stuntdouble said changes the date to the correct one. But it appeared it wouldn't update by itself. BUT I did notice later in the day the date was correct. I had a thought and every hour I'd watch. As I expected at 12 noon the date changed. Other widgets, like my calendar widget dont have this issue and my system time is set correctly as well as my time zone, US eastern daylight time. I am on Honeycomb 3.1 and the build is HMJ37.US_epad-8.4.4.5-20110527
When I had my Transformer set to fetch the date and time automatically via Network provided time I would notice that the date widget does not get updated when the date changed. I decided to set the setting to manual and have not had a problem with the widget thus far although I have not checked whether or not it gets updated at midnight.
i tired to change the date settings to manaul too but that didnt work but the problem seemed to be resolved since the last update. the widget works fine for me now
Fixed for me in 8.4.4.11
Well it looks like its fixed for me also now. The calendar widget wont update and my ASUS Weather widget still wont update on schedule. But I guess that's a different thread.
anyone know what that date widget is called at the bottum right? I recently did the VP ROM w/ minimal apps. I didn't realize that was one of the apps people would get rid of lol. That app is nice and compact, i'd like to download it from market or the apk somewhere online, but I don't for the life of me know the name of it.
Any help?
I've noticed this problem since I bought my Sensation. I immediately started transferring over apps from my G2 and Xoom (the ones I planned on using on my Sensation, at least). I know which apps have a widget and which don't. When I long-press on my screen and choose widgets, I see most of the widgets of apps I just installed but not all of them.
There are times when I flashed custom roms to try them out and then go back to my nand (clean stock backup) and the same widgets that didn't show up before would now appear on the list.
Is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone know why this is happening?
Only thing I can think of is that maybe the parent program for the widget got moved to the sdcard. I know widgets have to be in,main,memory to work.
Forgive me if this is an infantile response, I am still fairly new to android, but eager to help if I can.

Hmmm... Interesting, if you're right. In my previous Android phones and on my Xoom, I move all the apps that I can to SD every time and never had this problem. But I will give this a try. I'll report back if this is the case with Sensation on stock Sense UI.
I just restored from a previous nand (good thing I happened to backup for no apparent reason just this morning) and it looks like the widget is there. I checked where the app was and it is in fact on my SD card. So there goes that theory. Hehe.
I wonder if others have the same issue and if they found out the culprit. Thanks anyway, Ivanstein.
One thing I've noticed that with no matter what sensation rom I flash first time i download an app the widgets don't show in the widgets menu until i reboot.
Hey guys, this just started happening in the last few days and it's driving me batty...
I have widgets that will randomly disappear... or appear in the wrong place...
For example, sometimes on rebooting, Fancy Widgets will not load... or two will load on top of each other...
For another example, my music player widget (4x2) will appear all scrunched into a 2x1 spot where my bluetooth widget is supposed to be.
Or... no widgets will load at all... and I'll have to re-add them to the desktop.
It's all very strange and annoying.
Anyone have an idea of what's going on here? I didn't even know how to search for this...
I've just had it happen to a few widgets in the last few days on my Nova Launcher on SlimBean v4. After removing the problematic widgets and putting them back, all was well again...
Whenever things get wacky the first thing to do is reboot recovery and fix perms. Then wipe cache/dalvik and reboot. Let the phone sit for a bit to rebuild davlik. Then use your phone.
By any chance are you using link2sd? Or putting the widgets on your sdcard? That causes issues as well

When I had it happen, it just decided that the Google Music widget was on page 4 instead of page 1, even though it still visually displayed on page 1. I couldn't click on any of the items in the bottom row of page 4... so I long-held on the bottom of page 4, removed the invisible widget, and replaced it on page 1 from where it had disappeared.
I expect that to be a Nova Launcher glitch not a JB or ICS issue though.

Don't know what link2sd is. The Widgets are wherever the phone saved them when I DLed them.

I've had that happen as well and concluded it is a launcher issue. Happened frequently on Go Launcher. Has not happened at all on Apex.
Interesting. I'm running ADW EX. Been fine for a dang year... just started doing this and I don't think it's updated recently...
Also - no joy on the davlik wipe / fix permissions. I still have a scrunched MIUI music widget where my bluetooth widget should be.
Hey all,
My weather widget is disappearing from my homescreen everytime I install a new app. I have the widget in the top 2 rows. When a new app is installing, the widget disappears, and the new app's icon is placed in the first row. This is getting very frustrating, as I have to manually add the widget back to the home screen each time.
I recently bricked my phone and followed the downgrade/unbrick tutorial to fix it. I'm currently running the latest T-Mobile US RUU + OTA update.
Anyone have this issue? Or know what is causing it? I'm thinking this may be related to cache or permissions. Can we fix this without root and/or new recovery?
Mate, we need to know which phone (S3 <-> S4) you have.
--- edit
Forget that. Go to settings -> apps, choose all apps, search for HTC sense and delete data. Reboot and try if things work.
Do you use a custom skin?

I have the s4.
No I don't have a custom skin.
I tried clearing the app data and defaults and it worked wonderfully! Thank you so much!
You're always welcome. Glad this one helped because I was on the wrong track with my questions.
Point is, that I realised a bit too late that according to your OP you should be using a S4 and with the latest RUU and it's update you should be running ICS as to my knowledge there still isn't any JB update by TMO US available atm.
I was asking that because on 'early' JB we had the problem that with custom JB roms some custom skins (mostly ported) forced reboot when starting the world clock. This was fixed by trollalot and all the skins were replaced. But one never knows if some of the 'bad' ones survived somewhere somehow. lol
That was my very first thought so.
