Anyone using the Gmail widget and finding the widget doesn't show new mail, it just shows the mail that was there when the widget was added. (Gmail app itself is seeing the new mail, just the widget showing stale content).
Seems Sony's QA has fallen apart recently..
this is similar issue what i have reported on Sony talk forums ... some widgets just froze and dosnt want to update.
heh try to change language and then switch back, it will reload( ?) homelauncher and it gmail should work . give it a try ive spoted that on weather widget(non stock one) and it was working for a day or so :>
Changing the language made it refresh the widget, Will monitor it to see if it continues to update....

Just installed the Vegan Ginger RC1 and am having some trouble with the Google Calendar widget. Looks like it only displays 1 item for the current day no matter how big you stretch the widget. Anyone know a fix for this problem? Also seeing the same problem? Second, when you tap the widget and it shows the full calendar the text for items is not shown in most views - just a colored line. How can I see the title of items in the calendar in any grid-styl view?

Amazon market has business calendar free for today. Great app, with great widgets
Thanks for pointing that out! I noticed the app but didn't see a description of the widget so ignored it, even if free. I've now purchased it and will check it out, though it would be nice if the standard widget worked. This app doesn't support Honeycomb but maybe if we ever get it the standard app will work better and we won't need this app or it will be updated to support it.
This is a problem that seems to occur only in ICS, but I don't know more than that. It didn't happen when I was running stock, stock/rooted, or Saurom. I'm using the Apex launcher but a quick Google search shows similar reports from people using Nova.
I'm running Flappjaxxx's ICS IMM76D UCLE2 Base (but I haven't updated to the new release that came out today). I've also noticed this on ICS Objection (with Apex launcher).
So, here's the issue: occasionally widgets will "Freeze" and stop updating. I've seen this with Beautiful Widgets (the clock will stop updating, so it will read 3:05 when it's actually 3:30), Android Pro Widgets (specifically the calendar and bookmark widgets--the calendar will not let you advance to different months, the bookmarks widget will not update to show new bookmarks if you refresh it), and the TweetCaster Pro widget (it will not update to show the latest tweets when you press the refresh button).
There is still some functionality with the widgets--they don't die completely. I can still touch the clock portion of Beautiful Widgets and get to the alarm settings. I can still touch individual days in the APW calendar widget and see appointments, and touch the header to launch the full calendar, and the APW Bookmarks widget is still scrollable, clicking individual bookmarks will launch those pages, and touching the header bar will launch the browser's default page. But for some reason they stop updating.
Things I know
1. Restarting Apex launcher appears to reset the widgets. They start fully functioning again.
That's about it.
RIght now I"m trying to determine if JuiceDefender might have something to do with it. I don't think it would because I've used JD on my other phones with no issues... HOWEVER, none of my other phones have ever run ICS. I don't know. Maybe ICS is different. I know JD had issues working with Gingerbread for a while...
Anyone have any thoughts? Questions? Experience with this? It's a bit mystifying. NOw that I know restarting Apex launcher gets everything working again it's a lot less annoying than it was (rebooting every time was a pain) but I'd still like to figure out how to make it go away.
I had same problem with beautiful widgets. my task killer was my problem.it was to aggressive
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Same problem.
Have this problem both with Omega 7.0 rom and cyanogenmod.
Some widgets freezes after some minutes when phone is in standby mode.
Just by tilting the phone and let the window be landscape and then tilt it back again will activate the widget.
But it is annoying....
i had the same problem with widgets freezing; i uninstall go weather widget and go launcher and now it s fine again !!
edit: oops it came back...no freeze with Apex but it's still freezing with Tsf..
reedit: i found my problem: it was "clever contact widget "that froze the others widgets but only with TSF shell (not with Apex!!!)

i'm using a motorola atrix 2 with stock ics and this's happening to me also , it's not any app that's causing this problem , it's a bug in ics as to many .. searched gooogle .. no launcher can help , i tried nova prime and apex but same happens to both , but now i'm on stock blur again and it doesn't happen so frequently but still happens, they say that only google can help in this case , they have to give an update .. so we have to hopw that they'll give us one soon .. until then we have to restart the launcher
note- try an anlog clock on your home screen , or anlaog and digital both home screens in a one home screen , you might notice that digital clock freezes when the analog clock works fine , i don't know why but that's happening to me ..
Hi everyone
I recently changed to touchwiz ux launcher, coming from launcherpro. I was wondering if there was any widget like the go calendar widget, meaning a scrollable month overview, a little mark on the days with an appointment, and possibility to click on the days to make/view an appointment then. Thanks in advance
I would suggest you take a look at Jorte Calender:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.johospace.jorte
thanks, yeah i saw that but haven't really tried, but if i'm right that's a whole calendar app, so can this widget show the appointments of the stock app? or maybe if i sync with google in both apps... if anyone knows advice is still welcome, but i'll give that a try soon
just for the record, i've just found android pro widgets, it's calendar widget does exactly what i want, if anyone else has the same problem: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rdr.widgets.core

You can sync it with google to show the same appointments as the stock app. But android pro widgets is a good hint, looks promising. Maybe i can use it for myself.
thank you for this!! finally a go calendar like widget (better actually) that works at higher DPI resolutions !! (SIII at 240dpi)
(Was going to post this in apps, but it's a question?)
Ok, so ran my searches, checked out the similar threads suggested, tried a ton of apps and didn't find a solution.
Here's my question:
Does anyone know of an RSS app with all the following?
4x1 transparent widget (preferrably text only - heading and intro line)
Widget text shadow - no need for widget background
Service that I can also access with my PC (syncing of read items)
Scrollable? Not exactly, I like how the default Google Reader (woe it's demise) widget allowed you to flip through articles - same for minimal reader.
Share with installed apps (twitter, facebook, pocket, etc)
Open in browser.
Offline mode for reading when there's no connection
I also tried Feedly, RSS Demon, RSS Widget Boards, Easy RSS, Simple RSS Widget, Mobo, Flipboard, Simple RSS Widget, Scrollable News Widget, Colorize Widget, Pure, Glass Widgets ICS, and a few others I can't remember right now.
Does anyone know of one that would satisfy all the conditions above? Some I tried came close, but I just want to know if I'm missing the one that I want, there are just so damn many of them... Been installing and importing/manually adding feeds to test all day when I got a chance for a couple days now...
Running SGS3 i9300 JB 4.1.2 Stock with root, TouchWiz.
This happens on every Theme
When you click on the Calendar widget hotspot/text and Themer asks you what Calendar to use, and you select your Calendar of choice, every time you click on that hotspot/text instead of launching the Calendar you chose it tries to "create new event". This happens regardless of the Calendar chosen.
In order to make the widget function properly, I have to manually edit the widget to directly launch my Calendar app instead of launching "Themer Calendar"
This makes Themer unbearable to use for me as many widgets have several text spots that launch "Themer Calendar" and I have to edit them all in order to avoid this behavior. I have mentioned this problem months ago but nothing has been done to rectify this.
Galaxy Note 3 running stock 4.4.2 (unrooted)
Please look into this, I cannot use Themer without being frustrated until this is fixed.

Hi,
We have found the cause of this problem, and have a ticket to fix it queued up.
If you have more than one calendar app, then after you choose one, tapping on a Calendar Themer Action icon or hotspot will always open the New Event instead of going to the calendar. If you disable or uninstall one of the duplicate calendar apps, then this won't happen.
This may also be related to the New SMS issue. Basically the same issue, just with the SMS app instead. The developers are still looking into this however.
We hope this helps!

In order to disable the default calendar app, I would need to be rooted, so that is not an option for me. Looking forward to a fix, and thank you for responding. I'll go up the GP rating to 4 stars for the response, 5 stars after it's fixed.
