I am wondering if anyone else has seen this. I have had my phone for over a month, and love it, normally DO NOT like widgets but I must say Circles is cool. So I have been running circle widget since I bought the phone, and have had no issue. One NIGHT about 10pm i unlocked my phone to see the weather in my area was SUNNY and 40. As I looked out the windows, I would say moony but not sunny. After further looking, I found that if I turned of use location in the weather settings, and put my city there, updating worked fine. I don't mind this, but I like the use location cause as I travel from place to place, I have a quick look at the weather for where I am as opposed to having to change cities. Any Thoughts? I hopped that the JB OTA might fix this, but it did not seem to.
I noticed my maxx hd doing this same exact thing a few days ago. It normally works great and updates very quickly but the last few days its been getting stuck for some reason. A few reboots seemed to straighten it out for now.
Sounds dumb, but try pulling that widget off your screen, and clearing app data/cache in app manager. Reboot, then put it back on. Sounds like it could be a cache error.

For some reason my Weather Widget doesnt update itself that often. Like earlier this morning it said it was clear, but with the moon, yet it was sunny out...LOL Any ideas?
Does it ever update? If not, check your Location settings. If it does, then sometimes you just have to wait for the connection. I've seen it take a while to get the update sometimes, but eventually if you're sitting on the home screen it should update if location settings are on and you have a data connection.
I was running totally stock last night. It told me it was sunny and clear and it was night time. It seems to be having issues.
Yea location is on. I just thought it was weird that its not updating all the time.
My HTC weather widget updates very sporadically throughout the day, however it does work.
Email HTC about this. The more people who tell them about it, the greater the chance we will see updates and fixes coming out.
I know these posts are old but i'm bored!
If you have a 'task manager' installed make sure it's not stopping these updating functions by default.
OK, so, i know the topic sounds confusing. But my wife's mytouch 4g's battery died the other day. so, we charge it up then turn it on only to find out that every widget, every app, etc is gone from the screen. all that is left is the live wallpaper. apps and everything are still on the phone but all the links to the apps and various widgets are gone. just blank live wall paper screens. so, she manually puts everything back like it used to be, rebooted the phone and now everything is gone again. WTF? anyone know why it is doing this and how to make it not happen? she is against installing any custom ROMs (i'm working on bringing her to the dark side of android). thanks for the help.

The first thing you should try before you do anything else is a factory reset. This sounds like a pretty weird software bug. If it continues, call T-mobile and have them send a replacement.
Is this her first Android? Is she restoring data and settings from another phone through the use of MyBackUp or similar programs? Sometimes using these programs to restore data can cause strange behavior like this, especially if that data is coming from a different device.
On first boot after the factory reset let the phone sit for a solid 5 minutes before setting up. There is first boot "thinking" going on...
EDIT - if you lucked out and got the "good" screen and don't want to warranty replace it you could always root and use the stock nandroid restore found somewhere in the mytouch 4g development section. I'm fairly certain that a factory reset will solve your problems though.
that happen to me.... power the handheld down and let it sit a good few minutes and then boot it back up... all the homes screens should be back to normal.
idk whats up maybe its a bad batch of MyTouchs T-mo recently recieved but i had to send mine back as it kept rebooting itself multiple times a day
Using EA16, PnP .2 and Splash of Color, my clock is always about 10 minutes slow by the end of the day on my mesmerize. Is anyone else seeing this? A reboot fixes it, and disabling the network time sync and handling it manually doesn't seem to help.
I use beautiful widgets and its always spot on. My girlfriend has a stock 2.2 desire on uscc and both her sense clock and my bw clock are the same. Another widget that I've used and its free is SiMi, its in the market as well.
I haven't had any issues either
Ive had that. I downloaded clocksync from the market and set it up to resync every six hours. I had that problem with EA11. I haven't tried EB16 without clocksync so I don't know if I still have the problem or not. But now I can set it and forget it.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
So I'm still trying to figure out... is this a theme, a mod, or an app?
Just bustin balls, but it probably should have been posted in General to get the exposure that it needs. BTW, I haven't seen this on any of the flashes that I have done either.
Great question, I'm trying to figure out the same, or if it's just a network issue. I use an authenticator to log into a game I play, and I noticed the codes it was giving me stopped working. That's when I noticed my time was off.
I downloaded the "Clocksync" app recommended by gr4ybu5h (thanks!) and it seems to be keeping things synced.
My apologies if this is the wrong forum, I just noticed the issue after I flashed the Splash of Color pack, so figured it'd be a good place to start.
I haven't noticed this on my phone. but my boss who has a totally stock Mesmerize has this problem continually. Weird...
Anyone in Canada (or outside) experiencing the same? Past 2 days it has been stuck, even manual refresh won't work. Possible problem with connection with Accuweather?
Another issue:
Now that I have a folio case my gps compass is always asking to the do a figure 8 which I refuse because it is silly and gay.
I don't know that my weather widget has ever really updated. I'm in Ohio. 95% of the time when I manually update it doesn't work either. Not sure what's wrong with it but I don't usually use it. This carried over from my old TF with a bad screen to my new one.

That's the problem with stock apps if there are changes made with the 3rd party source it takes an entire firmware change to correct the issue with the stock app. Wish they went thru market so fixes can be made on the fly. The problem of leaving it open is it is draining batt everytime it checks for an update and can't get thru.
I think there is a connection problem with Accuweather and for me this occured after 3.2. Oh, well I removed the app and went with Palmary.
Its really unfortunate that this widget sucks! It's a nice design (without having to buy Beau. Widgets, that most people seem to agree, as a lot of screen shot posts seem to have it.
Mine lags behind severely in updating, and when it does, it's inaccurate.
Hello there everyone. I've had my HTC Sensation since September and so far it has been a very enjoyable experience, with only one abnormal reset. However, in the past two days, some weird stuff has happened.
Every once in a while, I see the stock lockscreen flicker over my current screen (Even in an app). It is currently disabled by WidgetLocker as well.
The first day I had installed SweeterHome 2, StatusBar +, and also the application Faster Drawer. The first reset happened as I went to open Faster Drawer (Not for the first time, however). It then rebooted, but things seemed to work fine. Also, the app Profile Scheduler was no longer able to change the screen brightness when I clicked on a profile, just the other settings. I had to go into Android settings to do it manually. (There I found the slider down to 0 as I wanted it, and when I touched it, the screen brightness lowered to where it was supposed to be)
The second reset happened today and was even weirder. I was looking through my Minimal Reader widget when I was interrupted by the white and green HTC boot logo, and the phone took a few minutes to reset. When it came to, all of my widgets were gone, and replaced by "Tap to restore" squares (On both WidgetLocker and SweeterHome 2)
I really have no clue what is going on, though I am very disappointed by the reboots, especially for losing the widgets (Basically my entire homescreen was made of them, it will take a long time to restore). The only thing I messed with was the Accessibility applications; I had to check the one for StatusBar + and I clicked the one for WidgetSoid Notifications, but then disabled it. (Which by the way, the WidgetSoid notification toggles no longer work until I use the system toggle for data, then I can start using them)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using a stock, unrooted HTC Sensation 4G on T-Mobile, running 2.3.4, and it had that firmware update by T-Mobile a few months ago.

the most ugly thing is i saw it with another sensation user in my famely to before i bought my phone. it got sended away by warrenty got back prob solved but more arised it began also after couple months. mine started doing it i rooted/s-off mine and started testing roms wich one feld like i wanted to use. because of quick changing i cound watch that after an rom from here the prob got solved so here are my suggestions:
1 send it and maybe get a worse phone back(telling from experience)
2 root/s-off test some roms and away goes problem
The issue just became worse. This time, without a reset, my WidgetLocker widgets were lost again, and replaced by the "Tap to restore" dialog. I was playing music at the time with the screen off (no other apps running), and it was not interrupted. When I went to unlock the phone, they were gone.
Any thoughts? This seems like a pretty serious issue to me. I'd like to stay stock since I don't have the money to replace the phone if something were to go wrong.
Try removin the apps and see if that helps,you seem to have alot on there that removes or modifies functionality
