[Q] widgets dont refresh - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I know this question has been asked a few times before but still there was no solutions in any of the threads, so making it again.
I have stock rom and stock launcher on my x10i and the widgets dont seem to refresh.
1. beautiful widgets (even the clock)
2. battery %
3. status switch.
From checking out the other posts, i have a common thread that all of them had installed Beautiful Widgets, and i too started getting this problem a few days after using this app..
So if anyone has a solution, please share it.... Really a pathetic problem
HELP plzzzzz

solution!!!!
Well after lots of trial and error.. the only solution i found is..
1. delete 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 problem..

Weather & Toggle Widget looks distorted on desktop.

Hello Everyone,
Does the Weather Toggle Widget work properly for anyone on the Dell Streak? I tried this on 1.6 and now again on 2.1 but it always looks messed up. The clock looks great but the weather is always compressed and cut-off on the side. I have tried different skins but always the same result. I really like this application and just want to get it working.
Check the screen capture to see what I mean.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
PS. I did send a support email to the creator as well so I hope to hear from him eventually.
[FIXED using ADW LAUNCHER (Free) in Market Place]
I was informed that ADW Launcher allows many customizations, including widget sizes. I use this as my home scren now and couldn't be happier having total control over my widgets.
Yes mine was cut off and it is cut off on Beautiful widget

What widget r u using?
I use beautiful home screen, and had a time issue when i flashed to 2.1 in that the time wouldn't change.
Sent and emial off to creator and got a reply very quickly saying to exclude it in task killer and it now works.
Only problem i have now is that the minutes section is over lapping on the right, not a big deal but still an issue.
Have to say tho the beautiful home live weather wallpaper is amazing.
Yeah i tried it too and it wouldn't line up correctly so i had to ditch it.

[Q] Timescape & music player widget on other launchers

Hi, I have Wolfbreak's GB installed on my x10. Is it possible to make the timescape and music player widgets available to other launchers as well? I can only see these widgets on SE's ARC launcher, but not on other launchers. Really love these new widgets from SE. Thanks in advance
Any developers out there care to comment? I did a little search around this forum and found that people have asked this question before, but have yet to receive an answer. I'm not looking for a solution now, just wondering if its possible. Thanks.
Hi,
Im in the same boat as you. I want to use these widget on other launchers but can only see in Sony Launcher.
Anyone know how to add the widget on other launchers?
Thanks
I know that it's a missing when some widgets can't be use on another launcher but I think this problem caused by widgets' settings. Some widgets are set up just to run with Stock launcher only.
it doesnt work like that ..i think we need to modify the framework accordingly for installing the widgets on other launchers ...
Hope its right
thnk me if it helped
Well, is there any other widgets/apps that will provide similar functionality?
Also I think many ppl would appreasiate it if someone would modify the timescape widget to work with other launchers, I do think SE is onto something there, one glance and I'm up to date...
;-)
Thanks
SE lock their widgets so they cannot be installed on any other launcher, it really annoys me becuase the stock launcher is useless (Not being able to even add more homescreens is a joke)
I would like to know if anone is actively working on this problem as quite a few people are asking about it.
Now that timescape is becoming more user friendly...with more extensions for more content....I would really like to have the widget but I refuse to use the poor excuse of the stock launcher.
This would be a good project to work on....lets see if anyone is listening

I dedicated some time previously to working on it to no avail. I BELIEVE its coded in the smali code, but if its forced to run on other launchers it doesn't work properly:
Timescape can't scroll [well can scroll but you can't see] and MIGHT take you to the wrong message/facebookthing/w.e. and only refreshes when you reboot...
Music player the little icon thing [thumbnail] does not change and the thing bar does not actively move [the time bar] and the buttons are glitchy
you name it, errors come. I gave up :L

Same issue bro. I use ADW Launcher EX... I want those features...
Would be great to have the freedom of using timescape on other launchers. the only reason i still have the stock launcher is because timescape and the music widget only work on it I guess it was a trap that was well thought of
I think pheel is the only one to have made some advancement on this project (that too, on my request ) but it faded out 2-3 months back. Hope with the senior devs (yes, greg, bring 'em on!) we can see some progress!!

[Q] Ice Cream Sandwich: Widget's not refreshing?

Hey XDA,
I recently upgraded my Nexus S to ICS 4.0.3.
LOVE IT.
It's smooth, and bugless. The browser finally seemed to have caught up with Safari!
There is one small annoyance, however. When the phone starts, everything is great and dandy. I use PlayerPro, AudioManager and some other widgets on my homescreens.
After a while I find the widgets don't seem to refresh anymore. They are stuck on one static screen no matter what I do.
It's really annoying, as I don't know which album I'm on, or what my current audio settings are.
Is this a ICS bug? Or is there some setting I should change?
I'm using JuiceDefender in the BG. I had autokiller, but since uninstalled it.
It is rooted, with a unlocked bootloader.
ice cream sandwich:
works camera?
and usb?
Correct, everything works. why wouldn't it?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Thanks. Gotcha. Anyone have any idea? it's driving me crazy.
Same issue here - stock Nexus S 4.0.3, not rooted. I don't know what caused this, but just restarted the phone and now it is ok. We'll see if it will happen again.
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..
I run ICS on my SGA and the widget refresh works fine

[Q] KA05 ROM - Music Player Widget

I have the Sony Xperia S running the latest KA05.2 ROM.
The issue I am having, one I had with KA04 as well, is that for some reason when you pinch the screen to look at the widgets it shows the Music Player widget activated but it is not there. If you try to add the widget it says "Widget already added". I searched the forums and gathered that this was an issue in the Xperia Arc as well and one had to Clear data for the homescreen in order to rectify it. I was hoping someone would have a solution for the Xperia S or either know which process is for the Homescreen since I tried to do it on every running process and it still didn't work.
Any help will be appreciated!
