Widgets will not update?
Added by pettinej 7 months ago
I am using the 1/21 build. I love it. I am seeing something that does not make sense though. I have beautiful widget and news and weather on my home screen. After using my phone for about 4 hours these widgets will no longer update. The time in beautiful widgets is stuck, and the news will not update. If I reboot it will update to the current time but it will not continue to update. I have to reload the theme and reinstall the widgets. I am using a motorola Droid. Everything else seems to still work ok.
Any ideas?

Sorry. I just did some more searching and found that I am not the only one. This is the only bug/problem that I have found. I love this home screen.

I am having similar widget problems, although beautiful home functions correctly on my Samsung Moment running 1.5.
Widgets that don't work:
AnyRss Reader
Express News <--- this is one of my favorites too =(
F*ck My Life
All of these just stay in a perpetual state of "loading" and the widget never loads.
Is there a list anywhere of functioning and non-functioning widgets?

Any update on this one? I have my homescreen just right
But now I'm starting to USE it (rather than set it up) I'm noticing that several of my widgets just... stop... updating.
Sometimes they come good again, sometimes not:
AUWeatherWidget
DigiClock
Picture Frame Deluxe
I can hardly have a clock on my homescreen if I can't rely on it to give me the correct time!!

Can you post Cyrket or AndroidZoom links to these widgets? I'll test them in my private build and see if I get the same probs.

for digiclock... and it may have solved that issue. Apparently Cyanogen will kill it aggressively... so that's probably the problem there.

Photos often don't "slideshow"

That's a link for A calendar pad... but I think something funny is going on. My guess is that I have what is now called "calendar pad for Android 1.5" I'm not sure. I can't get any details on the calendar pad I currently have installed, but that's all there is on the market and it has a different icon, and mine has never required an update. Something fishy... think I'll download it manually and see what happens.

I also have trouble with the Pandora widget not updating. Sometimes it just stays on the inactive pandora display other times it will update with current song, but remain there.

i have similar problems with mixzing; does not always keep correct album art display...usually after a changing songs when the widget is not displayed; changing songs or opening the app corrects the issue though when it displays the up to date information in app or changes the song.
