I found an alternate calendar widget, and battery widget.
Yep, certainly some apps will need updates.. not complaining.. just trying to make sure it wasn't operator error on my part.
K9 just kicked out an update which fixed issues I was seeing with settings import, so that was super fast.

I had to uninstall Gsam also. It's too bad, I really like that app. Hopefully they will update it for 4.4 I really wish Google would just include the battery percentage in the stock rom,

here the same and switched back to better battery stats to get infos about
wake ups
i read in a nexus 5 review that the reviewer have the same problems and they
think the reason is a changed permission of the function "ACCESS_BATTERY_STATS"
in kitkate.

Smooth calendar or grid cagebdar are neat. 3g watchdog (monitors your data usage) and apn Droid (disables and enables 3g data) are both useful if your data plan isn't unlimited. And genie widget is also quite good and has a nice app to go with it (news add weather) though you'll have to Google that one as it isn't on the market.​
any suggestions for Messeage widget?Mail Widget? and Photo album widget?

Try Pure Messenger for the message/mail/texts
suggestion: what about turning this thread into a widget collection, OP updating #1 to get a referential on the subject instead of getting multiple/duplicate threads on the subject? this is not the oldest thread on the subject, but the one with the most generic subject and maybe it could be turned into the last of it's kind...

I like the Ted Zkeletal clock widget, it's a nice change. It is quite large though.

you download from the market, then add the widget by long pressing the screen? of course you need to have sufficient space for it.
What version did you use? I just download 1.8 and the weather icon doesn't show up....

Genie widget (weather chart) not working

Hope it is not the wrong area to ask.
Starting from two days ago the weather of genie widget is not working, it supposed to show the hourly report when sliding the bar, but nothing changed when I slide now
My phone is SGS vibrant and the genie widget is download from somwhere, I tried reinstall, find a new one and install and it doesn't work
Any idea?
Pump, no one get this problem?
Same problem here... tried reinstalling but no luck...
I really love that weather chart so plz if someone know how to fix it help me : ~(
If it doesn't get fixed, whats a good replacement?
Yes is there any replacement, i tried beautiful widget but it takes me to the browser for the hourly report which is kinda stupid...
same here
same problem here... news updates fine but the weather chart (when you click the i), is funky... not showing the full days (24 hr) chart like usual, just an odd time like 1 hrs worth.
I love the genie widget and want it to work!
any advice?
There is a ' Google employee's in Google mobile forum said they r looking in it
be sure to report fixes or what a user might have done to break the hourly view. I love the app for that hourly view.
OK it is fixed now try stop the running service and replace the widget again

Constant "refresh failed" message

I just searched the forum for this but came up empty. I am constantly getting a system message saying "refesh failed". I tried uninstalling some likely apps and disabling auto update on others to no avail. I asssume something is wasting system resources and i would like to correct it. Is anyone else getting this or have an idea of what app or service I should suspect?
Thanks
Same here. No idea what causes it.
In my case it has been caused by the Asus Weather Widget

Same here. Its when, for some reason, the widget isnt able to connect to update. Lose the widget and it goes away.
Same thing here. I can't figure out what makes the widget not be able to update (it happens when I have a great wifi signal), but once it does, it's like the TF decides never to update again -- I'll get the error midday, and by dinner it still has not updated.
So wait, that would mean that its trying to update even when not being used because I'm not even using it and I get the same message. I use Beautiful Weather instead. Are you sure its not something else that's causing it?

Same here. I was getting it when I was using the Asus Widget and still now with the Beautiful Weather Widget.

Place the asus weather widget on your desktop, then open it and from the options put the update frequenzy on manual and delete the widget. After that I havent received any error messages anymore.
I get his message as well. Very annoying, especially when you're reading an ebook. Will remove the weather widget.
tought it was my e-mail account thanks for this

That's great, unless you still want an automatically updating weather widget on the desktop. Any ideas on how to keep the widget and fix the error?

Use
I'm guessing it is built into the rom so will have to be rooted to remove it. I'm not rooted yet but I system panel lite and don't see it active in there. Maybe if you put it back, disable all automatic behaviour, and then remove the widget the process will stop.

Es-Task Manager
I experienced this same issue although the culprate for me was ES-Task Manager.
For me it was MyCloud

I still use the weather widget but I disabled the automatic location detection. I just defined it manually. Update is still automatic. No more issues...

[Q] JB 4.2 + Weather widget with manual location = fail

Since updating to JB 4.2, ASUS's weather widgets no longer work for me when configured to use manual location search. Auto works OK, manual not so much. Anybody else seeing this same problem, or can confirm that it's not just me?
Me too...

Yes... sad to say, I'm in the same boat. The Asus widget is "iffy" at best. Getting it to go from C to F is also not working. I keep getting an error message saying "Refresh failed. Try later." Other weather widgets seem to work. So, I know it has to be the Asus widget itself.
Also had problems with the Asus Mail widget and it not notifying me when new mail comes in. But I think I fixed that by deleting my accounts, and re-entering them.

Hated the stock ASUS widget. So I disabled it.
I'm using the AcuWeather download + Widget. It's probably the best i've used. Set it to refresh every hour and it's not too much of a battery drain

Yep, same behaviour I'm seeing. Thanks for the confirmation, definitely looks like ASUS broke something.

HD Widgets

If you are using HD Widgets on your Nexus 5 , on which screen is it displayed? Screen 2 (home page) or other? Please reference the visual page indicator above the dock at the bottom of the display.
It's displayed on whatever page you put it on

I'm noticing weirdness when it is installed on the home page (the page you go to when taping the home icon). The widget will be one part of the background and the current widget will display on top of the background image. The current (real) widget can be moved around on the screen revealing the embedded widget and if it is moved to a new screen the home page is deleted.
Screenshots included (had problems uploading from the Nexus 7).
As detailed as the description is...I think a screenshot would really help here...

Strange, never seen this before
Does this occur when you only have one widget? Or do you have two widgets on separate home screens? What happens when you try different sized HD widgets?
What about other widgets from a different app?
Looks like an app compatibility issue more than anything but try more experiments and see what you can reproduce.

The is the only widget on the home screen. I run HD Widgets on my N4 and N7 with no issues at all. I recently installed the GEL Launcher on the N4, placed the widget on the home screen and I have yet to see the problem there. So it appears to be only an N5 issue.
Last week end I installed the widget on another page that is not the home page and I have not seen this issue as of today.
I have two HD widget widgets on my home screen and they have run fine for the longest time, I have not see the issue that you descrive.
I started noticing my battery draining more than normal and looked it up on GSAM battery stats and HD Widgets was at almost 10% app useage. I have force stopped it and cleared data, going to leave it off for now to see how my phone acts and then try it again.
