Woke up this morning to find all the widgets of downloaded apps e.g. whatsapp, cnn, bbc gone. No longer in the widgets list. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Still no widgets. Also no widget installed when beautiful widgets app is installed. Strange. Anyone else facing this?
Edit: Did a hard reset and they are back. Not sure if installing and uninstalling themer from play last night had anything to do with it

this initially happened with the gosms widget where it doesnt refresh everytime i get a new sms. i reinstalled gosms and it still had the problem. and now even the clock widget of sonyericsson and the other widgets likr goweather, the date widget doesnt refresh anymore. how do i go about this? are you also having the same problem?
How about Timescape? You can use it to see the messages
I don't use timescape. It's not too private.
Anyway, it's not the issue though.
Even the clock widget (stock SE's digital clock) sometimes don't refresh with the time showed in the status bar. Even the weather widget etc.

ever since the 2.3.3 update ive had the same issue, particularly with the clock. its always out of sync. tried stopping home, reloading the widgets etc, nothing seems to work and its completely random
I'm still with 2.3.2.
I tried using GoLauncherEx and so far they are working fine. But it still happens.
I have noticed that the widgets don't refresh when I'm using the default SE home..
Can someone help me with this?
I've discovered this to be a reproducible (but not solvable) problem. This might be an Android prob, as there are one or two other short threads on this site for other phones. For me it looks like the common thread is an incoming call while using an app. But fixing it... who knows?
I have been able to reproduce it three times:
1. after a week using my Arc, a new clock widget stopped updating except when foregrounded, and not until the next minute ticked over. I also noticed a weather widget wouldn't update reliably.
2. after two months without a solution, i completely reset the phone. All good. While playing a game, I received a call. Afterwards, the widgets wouldn't refresh except as above.
I deleted an unrelated widget because I didn't need it, and (perhaps coincidentally) the other widgets started refreshing properly.
3. a week later, I received a call while using the calendar app. Widgets no longer refresh, except as above. I haven't been able to find a fix this time. Tested widgets like the stock digital clock show the same problem.
If u hav installed beautiful widgets then..
Well after lots of trial and error.. the only solution i found is..
1. uninstall beautiful widgets animation
2. clear data beautiful widgets from settings - apps - beautiful widgets
3. uninstall beautiful widgets..
Living without beautiful widgets is better than facing that refresh problem..
Fix launcher lag
This method worked on my SE Arc S (.42). You need to have root access.
1) Open the following file: /system/build.prop
2) Add this to the end of the file and save it: ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
3) Reboot.
Hope it helps.
I recently had issues with the Gmail widget not updating at all, even after entering the Gmail app by pressing the widget, the widget will not update and stay outdated, unread emails will stay unread after reading them etc..
After searching I found out that Beautiful widgets is the cause, after uninstalling it the Gmail widget began updating again..
Just a heads up..
this sucks as I really liked BW and now I'm after a decent replacement.
fancy widgets is nice.

Exactly what I'm using atm..
Still no luck, it was updating here and there, sometimes took it a couple of minutes to update, but now it's stuck again, no updates.. I think it's a known issue now, heard allot of people complaining about it since updating to 4.0.4
I have the same issue. I'm running stock 4.0.4, unrooted. I'm also currently running Nova Launcher and have BW installed. However, it sounds like removing BW is not necessarily a fix...? I might try to uninstall it anyway and see how it goes.
Regardless, I've submitted a problem report to the Gmail team. Hopefully this will get fixed soon.
On a side note, I've been having similar issues with the Calendar widget. Anyone having that problem?
Hi.... I'm having issues deleting an app from the ZW main screen. I went to the Play store, searched the app (Modern UI) and uninstalled it, but it's not removed from the ZW selection list. I reinstalled ZW Pro, cleared data, rebooted..... still there. Anything else I can do besides contacting the developer?
Thanks,
Frank
Hi, I got a problem with my Redmi phone.
I set up Nova Launcher and I am using several widgets. Some of them work without any problems, but Google Keep Widget and Event Flow Calendar widget gets deleted after one or two days. So basically, every second day, I need to set up it again. That's annoying.
Does anybody know this issue and has a solution? Should I go back to the standard launcher?
Cheers,
Sven
I've got the same issue -- was using Nova - using Evie now, and have the same issue...
Well, good to know. But I don't understand why this is happening. Makes no sense to me. Did you try with the original / standard launcher?

Rights problem, add Android background capabilities to your app
Update: I changed back to standard/system launcher, added the widgets and they disappeared after 2 days. One of the widgets was Google Keep, the other one event flow calendar and Google Calendar. When I started Google Keep from the app, the widget came back. I just had to choose my Google Account again. But it works.
Is there anybody out there who found a solution for this issue? Looks like it loses the connection to the app or something.

Hello i had the same problem. Because i have install almost my apk direct from my backup (file explorer) and many widget (agenda business, digical, aquamail dont working). I have reinstall from Play Store and problem solved... And Nova Launcher working now... (just problem accessibility if you use gesture).
The thing is that I did not backup anything. I did a fresh install from Google Play. Nova launcher actually worked, also the gesture. But not the widgets. But as I said, they disappear even with the system launcher.
So it is not related to Nova Launcher I guess.
I did not find a nice solution so far. Just the one I described, but it is rather a compromise instead of a solution. Damn Xiaomi

tried the standard launcher and from what I can tell, it didn't affect the widgets. which sucks as the standard launcher is weak sauce.
I gave the app of the widgets that didn't work in Nova Launcher all permissions, and they worked after that.
Stock F3, stock ROM. I'm using the google widget that displays date/weather. You can click on the date to have google agenda, or click on the weather to open google weather.
But sometimes, the weather disappear, only the date stays, and clicking on it does nothing.
I tried removing widget and reset google cache etc, set google/launcher to not be in the battery saving settings, rebooting, etc.
Only way I found to remake it work is to clear all data of the launcher, but it removes all apps from screen, background, etc, it's fastidious...
Anyone has a solution?
For me too. ^^
But you can make a Homescreen shortcut to Google Weather
