[Q] Why are my widgets not updating? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I am rooted, running stock with ADW launcher pro. The past two days, my widgets have stopped updating their content.
Some widgets, like google music, will still control the app, however, they will not show the correct song.
-my time does not change.
-I have gentle alarm and the widget is totally unresponsive.
-I have a flashlight widgets which will turn on the phone's flash light, but the widget will not update to show that it is on
-I have a wifi tether widget that will switch the hotspot to on, but the widget once again will not change appearance to show that it is activated.
-I have calengoo which will update after a reset but then will not change again (to the best of my knowledge i havent verified this one yet)
If i reset the phone the time will update to the time of the reset, but will not change after that. I have tried battery pulls, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling widgets. I have tried freezing touchwiz in titanium. i am out of ideas.
Any idea what is causing this partial widget impairment?

For anyone that had a simmilar problem, I solved this by manually restarting ADW from within the ADW settings. I hadn't thought to do this since I didn't see how it would be different from resetting my phone, but something must be altered when it is manually restarting, perhaps a cache?

[Q] Issues with apps?

Everytime I try to us an app with a theme, like fancywidgets or beautiful widgets, the theme always resets, and i've noticed my widgets on my Golauncher app also don't refresh even though they're set to, and the same goes for my weather on Fancy, or on beautiful. I have to manually refresh them even though they are set to do to so.
I'm on the stock 2.2 that's rooted, and I've noticed that it does that "media" scanning crap and then the themes are gone and it stops refreshing.
Anyone know how to fix this issues? When I was using MIUI It never happened.

Blank home screen

I'm using apex Launcher (non rooted)
So this started happening to me on a daily basis : I go into any particular app or perform a task and when I return to what it supposed to be the home screen I instead see just the wallpaper. The wallpaper still scrolls and if I tap in the areas I know the icons are supposed to be I can still access them. Please help, I don't know what is causing this and lately I'm having to reboot the system or force stop the launcher to get it back to normal. Anyone else experience this issue?
Nothing....
factory reset
Try to uninstall the launcher and reboot.
If you keep having these problems do a factory reset and you will loose less time than trying to find why these troubles happen.

Huawei Launcher wants to rule the day? Other launchers crashing.

This is on an MHA-L09. I would prefer to use Nova or the Google launcher, anything but the Huawei stock launcher, but am having issues.
Nova Prime is crashing, or so it is reported by the Huawei Launcher that Ithen replaces it, with a warning that I should uninstall the Nova Launcher. I cannot see a pattern to when Nova crashes.
I have a seperate issue with the Google Launcher. This sometimes finds itself caught in a desktop refresh loop - the desktop will go black, the background image will be re-drawn, then the icons and widgets, then it will blank again. While this loop is happening, I can draw down the notification shade and the screen will stay on, roll up the shade and the refresh loop continues.
So,
a). has anyone else found the same and has solutions, or
b). are there any crash logs that I can look at to see why this might be happening, for either Nova or Google Launchers?
This has happened over a few versions. I have also done a factory reset and the prblem continues. After the reset I did do a re-install from a back-up, so I may have just reloaded what ever is causing the problem, hence my keeness to find logs to help see where the problem may be.
I used to have this problem also but tried Microsoft launcher and I'm hooked.
Ever since, I haven't gone back to huawei or nova
Mine is a L29, USA version, no issues with Nova Prime here.
This issue is definitely caused by using your backup. If I recall correctly the crashing was a nova bug after an android update and has since been fixed, but if you use a backup created before the fix it will cause the same issue again. Simply do a clean nova install and ditch your backup and it will work like a charm again.

Constantly losing weather info Google At A Glance and lockscreen

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.

Launcher keeps switching back to Default Launcher - Help :-(

I'm noticed a really odd issue.
I've finally switched to gesture controls and I'm finding that if i turn the phone off and back on the system switches back to the 'default' launcher and also every now and then the 'home' gesture will switch to the default launcher
Usually launcher is 'Action Launcher'
Anyone else having the same issue or any idea how to solve this?
Note: I didnt get this issue when using virtual buttons.
Yes, I've experienced this and it is a known Oppo issue. You can get around the problem by doing the following (although you'll have to repeat it whenever you reboot the phone).
1. Go into settings -> App management -> Default app and set the Home app to System Launcher.
2. Repeat the above but this time select your launcher of choice.
It's not at all clear why this should work but, as other users also report, it does.
My Joying Head Unit will operate correctly for a while but then reverts to the stock launcher. I do not have gestures turned on. Happens for Car Launcher Pro and Agama as well. Updating firmware fixed the problem for a while, but a month or so later it is back. Any thoughts?
Same problem here, just started recently.

Can you think of anything that may have caused it? I updated a number of Apps (including Google Services, Agama, etc) just prior to the problem occurring this time. I had automatic updates turned on, but have since turned them off.

I haven't touched it in months, I had Nova launcher running without any problems since Feb. One morning last week, I turn on my truck and the stock launcher loaded. Now everytime I change default launcher it revert back to the stock one. Ive also tried web launcher guru, same thing.
