Watch out to those running beta of Emui 5.
I have been running since first release great in the main and using home screen with app drawer.
Today YouTube had an update which caused huge issues.
Launcher was stuck in a mode of crashing and reloading, app list via app drawer would not load.
Took me some time to think the YouTube update was only thing to change since my phone worked but as I couldn't get to app list I was stumped and pondering a reset.
Then I remembered emui without app drawer puts all apps on home screen's, so I went to settings via notification/quick access and changed emui from app drawer to non app drawer, uninstalled YouTube update and then tried app drawer again and everything works.
Problem now is I lost all my layout and folders so need spend time on this.
Bigger problem is why does YouTube update cause such an issue..In didn't have a YouTube widget pinned,just app in one of the folders.
I thought days of app updates causing such issues were in the past. 
Now I worry for long term stability and if other updates can do the same.
I have updated YouTube without issues. This isn't the problem.

Updated fine here no problems
OK good to know others not affected but for me it did cause the problem.
Updated and problem occurred instantly , a lot of time panicking and trying to fix phone due to travelling today and after I eventually rolled back the update the issue immediately resolved.
I'll submit bugs to YouTube and Huawei.

Is there a quick way to make them refresh after a new app is installed?
OK. They finally updated after about 20 min. Which is annoyingly long time to wait right after getting a new app. I would still like to know if I can force them to refresh though.
You have to tell us specifically which widgets are you using and what apps have you installed to interact with them.
As far as I know widgets are real time unless the launcher is caching the screens. So if its not the launcher it may be that the apps you installed have not gathered enough data yet for the widget to display it.

I also have this problem, and I've just resorted to rebooting my phone. Not ideal, but seems to be the quickest way to update the list.
Just to clarify I meant the ICS app drawer widget selector thing is not refreshing. Not horrible but kind of annoying to have to reboot or wait forever.
Force close the launcher under settings --> applications. When the launcher refreshes you should be good to go.

Hi all,
I have had my Nexus 5 phone for a few weeks now and I love it.
Before that I owned a Galaxy S2, running on CM10.2 with Dorimanx Kernel with Nova Launcher.
I really love the N5, it really is a beast and answers most of my expectations.
However, I have recently been confronted to a problem : my homescreen widgets are not syncing/updating anymore...
Not much of them though :
- Beautiful Weather 4 x 2
- Stock Agenda 2 x 3 redimensioned at 4 x 3
- Today 4 x 2 redimensioned at 4 x 3
Before that I also tried on my N5 : Dashclock + Widget Locker and some extensions for Whatsapp, Google Music, Hangouts, Gmail, etc...
Lockscreen widgets worked fine and were correctly synced and updated.
I have noticed that my homescreen widgets are only updated once : when I set them up or when I turn on my device. After a few seconds they stop updating. Even the update button in some widgets does not work.
This is really annoying as I really like my N5 and this is really bothering me.
I have searched through all the web and through the forum and I have not found anything useful. I have tried uninstalling all these apps and reinstall them. I have tried installing them one at a time and it does not work.
I have seen your N5 homescreens in the forum and it makes me jealous as they are really looking good and rely on synced widgets.
Has anyone got a clue ?
Thank you all very much.

Hi all,
Just a quick update : I have installed Nova Launcher 2.3 Beta and all my widgets seem to be working fine in Nova Environment. Well synced and updated.
Has anyone kept the default Nexus 5 launcher (Google Experience) and observed the widgets are not syncing ?
I have tried to reset the Launcher by going into the app details and stopping the app and resetting the cache and data. It still does not work.
The weird thing is that I seem to be the only one experiencing this issue as I really have not found the problem stated elsewhere. Or maybe for other devices and particular widgets but I have tried all the solutions and none worked.
Are you running Google Experience on your N5 and are you having these issues ?
I do like Google Experience feel and is there another way to reset it ?
Do you have any clues on how to debug this ?
Otherwise, do you know where I can post this problem and find help ? Is there any Google support for this Launcher ?
Thank you all so much for your help !!

Same issue here...
EDIT
After fighting that problem for 2 days without any luck (tried restarts, reinstalled beautiful widgts, widgetoid etc.) the problem is gone now after posting yesterday into this thread.
Nice.
The only thing that changed since then is that i deinstalled tapatalk - but I can hardly reproduce the problem or solution...
Really a small chance but maybe the OP has tapatalk installed too?
Hi licht,
Thanks for your feedback though you are right, I don't know how I can reproduce your solution.
And by the way, after a successful day on Nova the problem has appeared on Nova now !!
So I guess this isn't launcher related...
There is a pb with Kit Kat somewhere...
How could I debug this ? What is the process responsible for updating home screen widgets ?
Thanks to the community !
OK I've had this problem too.. Very occasionally.. But it's happened in holo launcher..
A restart fixes it..
And I do have tapatalk installed too though am not sure it's related

Hi letmedanz,
Thanks for sharing.
I have done the restart, of the widgets, of the launcher and of the phone...
I just don't get why it works and then just stops working...
I wish I could find the process responsible for the update and my monitor it.
Thanks anyway.
Having the same issue, i guess it's only a few of us. Have you tried reflashing stock img? i might give that a go.
Actually, on Nova it runs just fine. I think I'll just keep Nova. I'm too lazy to reflash...

Hmmmm don't care for nova, unnecessary memory usage. I thought you said earlier it wasn't a launcher issue?
Will try to solve it tomorrow, perhaps it is as simple as wiping cache? Will keep you guys' updated.
You are right to point that out because I thought it was also not t refreshing on Nova. But it actually did, and for some time now it runs fine.
Thanks for trying it. I'll be checking your results in here.
The only modification i have done is installed AdAway other than that i am stock. Oh i also have gravity screen off installed.
I found out I had this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=spinninghead.talkingstopwatchlite running in the background still doing a timer, so many hours! =]
Exited it and now my widgets refresh. Can anyone explain how this app would get in the way of the widgets updating?? =\
problem solved
My nexus 5 block sync all widgets:
The solution is, deinstall phone weaver!
Sören
What is Phone Weaver ? Is it a specific program ? Because I don't have it.
I thought it was the stopwatch app i had running causing widget freezes, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Widgets are still refusing to refresh. Will flash 4.4.2 (clean install) hopefully that helps.
Issue is well documented here http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=28216
See if this works for you guys https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/nexus/uu27aDrcwFs/9L9JRo6kXqkJ

I've found solution which works for me. I hope it could help others as well.
all that I did is ran in CMD:
adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity
after this nexus asked for locale and name again. Then I've put back my widgets.
I had no problems about a week.
Please, notice that it could be done at your own risk!
I tried the above and it seems to be working so far. Post your results =]
So i have found a temporary fix without needing to reboot.
I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.systempanel.r1 to kill all processes and tasks, the widgets start to work! The bug will occur again most likely.
Now when the bug does occur again i just have to go kill the process/task 1 by 1 to figure out which one resets the widgets, probably google search (launcher)
This must confirm there is conflict with ram! any insight?!
Anyone figured out a solution that does not involve booting, restarting the phone or manually running an app? that is no permanent fix. and this is extremely disappointing.
First off, I did a search and got no results with regards to this.
This morning I got a couple of updates including Maps and Chrome. Maps seems to be more stable and much smoother i.e An Improvement over the previous.
Chrome is now an absolute basket case!! It now functions in a small window. You can expand it, but you don't get a FULL screen. Those who like to use landscape, FORGET IT!! it will not landscape. Oh and to top it off the refresh function has gone and still a lack of close button!!
NOT GOOD GOOGLE. IF IT AIN'T BROKE.......
Found a work around
I'm having the same problem and found this on chromes dev site:
All of you having issues with small screen, are you rooted and using xposed framework? This is the reason and not chrome. Clicking home and open chrome from recent apps helps in my case.
That worked for me but you'll have to keep doing that every time you close out chrome. Any xda devs know why this is happening and a fix for it?
Same Issue

I been having the same issue as well. I have to back out and go back in to the app to fix it. Whatever the case it's annoying.
It's going to be fixed in the next Chrome update.

Hi everyone,
ever since I upgraded to EMUI 5 Nougat I´ve been having some weird graphical glitches.
When using a third party app launcher like Nova Launcher etc. both the navbar and the statusbar flicker for a split second when opening a system app like settings, calculator, recorder etc.
Also some apps cause the actionbar of the app and the statusbar to flicker when opening it.
I´ve already done two factory resets and issue is still there. Also seems to get worse the more I use the phone.
I hope someone can help me with this, since it´s quite irritating or maybe someone is facing the same glitches.
Thanks in advance!

Best Thing to do is report it to Honor.
Use the HiCare app and select the feedback link, there are option to use to contact them I went for Gmail.
Give as much details as possible..
Good luck.

Ok, thank you for your reply.
I reported those issues plus a couple more, that i encountered since then.
Now rolling back to marshmallow.
Recently i updated my phone to Nougat. And since then apps in "Recent Apps" have started closing themselves. I m using nova launcher prime. And last night too i observed it, before going to sleep i had 16 apps in recent apps, and when woke up there were only 6 apps showing in recent apps. And it has been happening since last few days. Not sure whether this is an issue with nova launcher or nougat?
Is anyone else facing the same issue? Is this some setting in Nougat?

App power monitor in device maintenance closing them?
I always close them manually once I've closed the app so wouldn't know if it was happening or not, don't like leaving loads of recents open in the background

I do not know what is closing apps in recent menu. Can't even find any option related to this.

Nougat does that, I don't know why. I use moto g4 plus and moto z play, the same happens in both. Android police wrote an article talking about it, but I haven't found anything solving the problem
Yes, I'm having the same annoying issue. The update just went through about 4 days ago for me and it has happened ever since then. Did you ever find a fix? I don't use nova launcher, so I think this is a nougat issue.

This is how recent apps work in Nougat. So there's no fix i guess. And yeah it would happen on nova and stock launcher as well (and most probably on every launcher). I m getting used to it now, since this is how it will work.
Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
Thanks. It's very frustrating. I leave apps open sometimes because I want to come back to something only to discover the app has closed on its own. It is incredibly annoying.

But apps auto close if u leave ur phone inactive for a long time, which i have observed.
Some people liking this thing and some disliking.

Yes Very Frustrating
I have read that it's part of Nougat's design to close all but 7 apps in the Recent Apps list, but this has not been my experience. I have had 6 apps in the list and when I come back after a few hours, there is only two in the Recent Apps list. And yes, I had these apps "locked" and they still disappeared from the Recent Apps list. From what I've read, they did not design this to be an option, nor is there any way to disable this... yet (though I'll keep looking).
Very annoying and frustrating.

Any fix or workaround for this yet, even if root is required? This makes recent apps function pretty much useless - if you cannot rely on an app you're trying to get back to or open back up to be there like it should then you would be wasting time trying to get to that app using the recent apps list so might as well not even try.
Still no workaround? No mods? Come on hackers! Am I going to have to learn to hack the code from scratch & do this myself!!!??? I'm not even a programmer or hacker........ yet!
Recent update seems to have fixed my complaints. Finally.

now the fix is possible via xposed module called "Recents auto-removal override (android recents override)"
