[Q] Clock battery drain - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

I have a Rogers SIII and I keep having issues with Clock running and killing my battery. It was ok for the first week, then one day it died and I noticed the usage of Clock. I removed the stock clock widget and the next day it seemed fine, so I added the Beautiful Widgets clock and again I have crazy battery drain on the Clock app.
Has anyone else seen this and found the cause? It's driving me crazy have no clock widgets.

I haven't seen this problem, but I don't use the clock widget. Maybe try wiping the data for the clock app (also deleting the widget).
I do use my alarms and timer and stop watch pretty regularly though.

Thanks, I've deleted the data and I'll see how it goes.

Too Many Widgets, or too little RAM?

Is it possible to have too many widgets on a screen? I have no clue what I'm talking about here, but this is what is wrong. I've got my homescreen set up with Desktop Visualizer 1x1 widgets for my Semi Sense icons. There's nine of them, then my Battery Monitor Pro Widget, my aTAKEphONE widget, and then four regular icons to various programs. Every once in awhile one of my icons (not the Desktop Visualizer widget icons), namely the XDA icon, becomes a normal XDA icon, no longer one of my Semi Sense icons. I have to restart LauncherPro to get it to show the normal Semi Sense icon. Now, my aTAKEphONE widget is going blank. This is since the latest update of the program. It's there, but nonfunctional, the only way I can get it back is to go into the widget settings and back out, it shows up again. Probably two different issues, andI'm working with the aTAKEphONE developer, but I'm kinda wondering.....
If you've got this far, this is what I was thinking, that somehow I'm running out of memory on my Samsung Captivate, and things are getting bumped out of display memory - is that at all possible? I'm pretty sure these are two separate issues, the program was updated and something was changed, but the XDA icon changing is an ongoing problem. I appreciate any thoughts, I'm trying to learn here as I futz around.
Of course now that I've called the doctor it's fine but if I can get a screen shot I'll post it here.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Might want to give a diff launcher a shot as it is not unheard of for LP to have issues when one page is loaded with widgets.

[Q] Touchwiz weather widget withdrawal

Hi, I would like to ask for solutions to reduce the withdrawal of the Note 3 weather widget. If I open an app and I back to the homescreen, the weather widget disappears for a second then reappears. It looks like it is killed every time when I kill an app or clear memory, so how can I solve this

Simple Weather App - Notify of Low Temperatures

Is there a weather app that will send me a notification when the weather is due to drop below a certain temperature?
I've looked at nearly 10 weather apps and none seem to have this feature, which I would have thought would be useful.
Anyone?
