Hello,
I came across few issues with widgets. I am using Lawnchair ver. 2.1-2627. With that I am using KWGT with Flow widgets and Month Calendar widget. Firstly, I have an issue with action on touch. Both, launcher and KGWT, FLow, Month have all the permissions available in the system. However when I tap on wither of the widgets, nothig is working. I tried forcing notifications, nothing. Any fix? I tried solution from KWGT website, doesn't work. No battery optimisation is running for this app - super annoying.
Secondly, weather dosn't update in the widget, in KWGT settings it says location unknown, like mentioned before, all apps have location permission permanent.
This phone is great, but chinese rom is super annoying. LIterally counting hours to be able to unlock BL and flash xiaomi eu rom. but wanted to try if anything could be done.
Thanks in advance, it's been a while since I had Xiaomi device last and never ran on Chinese rom.

I have the Sprint Hero, and this is my ROM history throughout the month I've used it...
Stock --> Fresh 1.0 --> Fresh 1.1 --> Full Wipe --> RUU Stock 1.56 --> Gumbo 1.5b --> +Gumbo Kernel beta
I have partitioned the SD card with each ROM to FAT32+swap+ext3. Apps2SD appears to be functioning fine.
I've noticed that I have a couple apps that lose their settings after every single reboot. This hasn't changed across any of the configurations I've been through, except for on stock. It behaved the same on both Fresh ROMS and still does this on Gumbo.
The 2 apps in particular that annoy me the most with this issue are Weather Widget 3.5 (I paid for the official app), and GTalk Quick Status (I paid for the official app). I'm more interested in these since I keep them both on my home screen. They function perfectly after they are setup, and are very useful apps.
But sure enough, every time I reboot the phone, they have to be re-configured (or widget removed/replaced) and enter the settings again for them to work.
The apps creators and other customers have provided no other feedback of anyone else seeing this issue, and I'm believing that it is something on my end.
Would anyone have any idea why some apps do not retain their settings after reboot? And any advice on what I could do to fix this issue?
Weather Widget is an incompatibility with Sense. If you stop using Sense and use the vanilla home screen, it remembers its settings. Very annoying, but it's the developer's fault.

Weather Forecast v2 and MoreIcons are two widgets I know of that have started to add an extra configuration to their setup screens to workaround the Sprint Hero widget bug.
With the fix in place though, you can only have one instance of the widget running at any given time. Makes the MoreIcons widget somewhat useless, but at least some devs are acknowledging that the bug exists and are doing what they can to make it easier for the end user.
The problem does seem to be with the Sense UI only though because I'm using the SweeterHome UI now and don't have any issues.
Has anyone else run into issues with Springpad on their Infuse? I cannot get my notes to go to my homescreen and the widgets wont show up in the widget menu. I reinstalled it yesterday and got the widgets to reappear in the widget menu, but when I shut my phone off last night and turned it back on this morning, the widget transformed into a problem, and the Springpad widgets no longer show up in the widget menu. Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it? Or just have a better replacement?
I use Springpad but do not use the widgets. So I tested it by adding the list view widget and the small one, rebooted and the widgets remain. I am using a custom ROM (Infused) so not sure if that has anything to do with it. If you are looking for a replacement, try Evernote.
There is an easy fix for that. I had the same problem with pandora widget, it would always disapper from widget list after the reboot. Go into settings, applications, manage applications then move the app to phone and reboot. It will never disappear after that.

I am using a custom ROM as well (Refuse 1.6). It could be something with that ROM I suppose; I haven't tried any others for long enough to get to using Springpad.

Yep, that'll do. I had not even thought they were being automatically placed there; don't remember ever setting this. Just noticed that all of my apps are being installed to sd card. I'll check around for how to change it. Thanks!
Edit: Springpad was not among those stored on the SD card, turns out. Widget is working again though. It must have been something else.
Hey,
I have CM 10.1 - 4.2.2 KANG on PYRAMID;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009
There are several problems with apps where I do not know if the problem is in hw, system or app or other factor, so I do not know to whom contact:
1)I bought app Battery widget reborn and I could not resize the widget. It is problem of the app or of the OS? Some app I can resize like transport goggle widget.
2) Endomondo sports PRO - several times I could not track movement, time is running, but not distance. I have to restart the phone (app restart does not help:
I use third party battery.
- it is problem of GPS/compass or app or system or maybe 3G red?
Thanks a lot to help.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
1) If you use standard launcher, only widgets that allows the launcher to resize it can be resized. If you really want to resize your widget, install Apex Launcher or similar which allows you to force widget resizing. I don't know if CM's Trebuchet-launcher allows it, but Apex does.
2) That could be a problem with the GPS, yes. From what you say, it sounds like your phone don't connect with any satellites. If you are running/cycling in thick woods, that could be the problem, but correct me if I'm wrong. I think it's just a signal problem rather than a hardware problem.
look through the *system* tab in setttings it has a option for *resize any app* i use it and works very well x

Regarding 1) Ok, thank you. I changed launcher from Trebuchet to Nova and it works.
2)Well, I am just walking (so no quick moves so far) on the opened area no trees and close to the civilisation. Let me try it several times with the 4.2.2 version and gonna give you my experience.
Thanks, Vaclav
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.
Marc
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.
guys has anyone experienced same issue? i tried several widgets and they all freeze at some point in mate 9 emui 8, only stock widget works without any issues. any suggestions?
If you can get an unlock code, the solution to this problem is to dump EMUI and use OpenKirin:
https://openkirin.net/download/
I recommend Carbon but any of the three ROMs won't kill your widgets.
thanks but will prefer a solution without messing with roms if any

It'll take tons of time and even more nerves.
My advice is:
- go to Battery - Launch - find all your widget apps and set them to MANUAL optimizations, select all three options available.
- then, go to Apps - Configure - Special Access - Ignore battery optimizations and set all your widget apps to ALLOW.
Reboot for good measure and try again.
tried that didn't work even switching to nova launcher still same issue
as i have read yesterday in a German android forum, the Business Calendar 2 app widget refresh work well on Huawei/OREO!
