Hi guys, I didn't see a thread like this so I thought I would start one.
I have a problem with the widgets on my GN: when i turn on the phone i get what you see in the pictures instead of the widgets. So I have to restart all widgets. Do you have ideas of what could be the problem? Can someone help me ? Thanks in advance

yes i did it, but every time i turn on the phone widgets disappear and that box appears again. I don't understand where is the problem: if is a launcher problem or a Rom problem or widgets problem...

Most probably a launcher or widget problem
Probably one of two possible scenarios:
1) Your widgets are not compatible with your launcher. (what launcher are you running? what widgets are you trying to load?)
2) You moved the .apks of your widgets to External SD storage and now they won't load. Widgets should be stored on internal storage because they sometimes try to load before the SD card is mounted.

before this problem appeared i did't move anything and all the wdgets worked flawlessly with all lauchers ( usually i sue Lightning and Nova ). One day I turned it on and these problems have appeared... I don't know

Another possibility is widget data corruption, try clearing the data for the affected widgets.

Please forgive my ignorance, this is probably an easy one.
I just purchased the beautiful widgets pro app from the market and I have installed it but I am not sure how to use it. When I try to get to widgets on my homescreen I don't see anything different (any beautiful widgets) Does sense have to be disabled or something? What am I missing?
Thank you
So you long press an empty space on your home screen (assuming the space is large enough), go to 'widgets' and select one of the Beautiful Widget options and nothing happens?

I rebooted the phone and its all good. It was not showing any of the beautiful widget options. Figured why not try the windows method of fixing things...
Hi All,
Ive been toying around with the launchers, and i think there real good, only thinng i cant get though, which i thought id ask on here to see if its me being dumb or just dont work.
When using a launcher, can you not use any of the HTC installed widgets? Like sense clock, or weather, i feel when i go to the launcher on my handset half of my widgets disappear, but when in stock home, they are all there...
Anyway i can work around this? I really want to use another launcher other than HTC stock, as i feel they are so much smarter, the only thing holding me back is these widgets issue.
The Launchers i have used are: Launcher Pro, Go Launcher, Zeam Launcher, and ADW Launcher. Any other launcher that might do the trick?
Thanks in Advanced.

I have kind of the same problem, when i`m using a launcher the mail box shortcut never refreshes the new mail indicator on any of the home screens that i`ve tried, and i`ve tried a lot. I would gladly pay for a home launcher that would make that part work !!!!
If anyone knows of one that actually does it please let me know !
Thanks.

hi guys,
since we are on the topic of launchers. i have a question for the experts here. I am also using DHD. I running LauncherPro. When I first installed it, i set it to default and everything works fine. I press the HOME button it just do what the HOME button suppose to do. I restart or reboot my phone, it just goes into LauncherPro. But after awhile, out of the blue i started having this problem. Everytime I press on the HOME button, my phone will ask me to choose between HTC Sense or LauncherPro. I will tick default and select LauncherPro. The the HOME button will work fine. But after awhile it will ask me to select between the 2 launchers again when i press on the HOME button. Same whenever i restart or reboot the phone.
Tried to clear the default setting in HTC sense but nothing for me to clear. Can be annoying because I really prefer the LauncherPro. Does anyone encounter the same problem as me? Any way to overcome this problem? And also pardon my long winded post.

Is it everytime you restart the phone? Or does it seemed to have had an update. Launcher Pro Plus is the 1 i actually use atm, and i make sure the remember choice thing is checked and never have the problem...
Did any of you notice that when LauncherPro (and possibly other alternate launchers) is active, Settings -> Personalize menu does not work? It just goes back to homescreen. I never noticed it until this morning.
I got a call right after booting my DHD and it rang with one of the default ringtones due to SD card not being mounted yet and my standard ringtone was on it. So I went to check if it was fine once the card was mounted and behold. Then I switched back to Sense and could access the screen.
Yes. It happens everytime I restart the phone. I not using launcher pro plus.

Me too.!
Also it shows running apps and also allows easier uninstallation of apps.
This has only started happening to me on CM10. Every time after connecting my phone to my PC with USB mode, I lose my Beautiful Widgets live wallpaper and my HD Widgets weather clock when I disconnect. If I try to reload them right away, they aren't found, but if I wait a minute or so, I can find and reload them.
It acts like they are on the external SD card and the scan doesn't finish before the home screen loads. I just installed them the normal way from the market, so they shouldn't be on the external card, should they? If so, how can I move them to the internal card so I don't have to reload them every time? Under their App settings they show no sdcard usage.
No one else has this issue?
Beautiful Widgets has a problem with Jelly Bean ROMS; the widgets don't "stick". It's the app, not the ROM. Don't know about HD Widgets though.
it's a cm10 bug

Widget Locker had been working flawlessly for me for several weeks, but all of a sudden I started having issues with it yesterday. I'm no longer able to add any widgets to my lock screen. I'm able to add custom sliders, applications and shortcuts. Whenever I try adding a widget nothing will happen for about 5 seconds and then the app will close and open itself up again. Can anyone suggest any possible fixes for this? I have already tried uninstalling the applications and re installing it as well as shutting down my phone.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Only other thing I can think of is resetting your phone. Since you've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling widget locker. Are you using a third party launcher?
Just wanted to add that you aren't alone. I just installed Widgetlocker tonight and I have never been able to add a widget. I get the exact same behavior you describe. I accidentally deleted the LOCK widget and I am unable to add it back. I'm stock rooted.

Hello All,
Strange problem, all of a sudden no matter what I try u can't change the lock screen wallpaper. Trying from gallery doesn't work, neither does trying from that lock screen settings. It worked fine about a week ago and when I try it tells me it saved/applied but never changes. I tried going back to stock launcher from Nova just to make sure that wasn't the issue but it had no effect. Any ideas?

Just wanted to update to say I can change my wallpaper by going to settings, lock screen, wallpaper and choosing wallpaper gallery, which is what the phone came pre loaded with. Choosing gallery gets the same result as before... The phone says it changes it but really doesn't.

solved lg g3 lockscreen wallpaper
The problem is with the sd card. It seems that its some kind of abug in the software that reads the files from the sd card.
Just move the files from your ad card to the phone memory, and it will change the Lockscreen wallpaper.
Cheers
Excellent! That was the problem. But this is not happening with home screens wallpaper as these are in my ext card and changing probably!

Found this worked for me:
1. Go to Internal Storage/Preload/
2. Delete the files with names of previous LG Wallpapers.
3. Select your desired wallpaper (mine was a file I made and then put in my internal storage just fyi)
4. Hooray!
Tried restarting my phone, still works.
