Hi all. I have a small issue with widgets..
I'm currently on APEX launcher and cm9. When i put any widgets on the home screen that auto update, they do work ok for a short while, but then stop. for instance, a clock widget will work for a 10 minutes maybe, but then stick.
I don't use any a task killer
any suggestions?

Guess what
I found out why Widgets won't updateing
When I enable lock screen the widgets are working ok but when I disabled the lock screen the widgets are stop updating.
It is weird thing.
does anybody know why it is happening because I don't need to have lock screen?

I've an issue regarding the combination of the Beautiful Widget screen unlock animation and the widgetlocker app that I was hoping someone could give advice/pointers on. I'm using a Nexus S with Oxygen 2.3.1 ROM
I have beautiful widget on one of my homescreens with the unlock animation activated. I've also got Widgetlocker activated on top of the android pattern unlock. What I notice is that weather animation sometimes has issues appearing.
When I unlock the device, turn the screen off, and unlock the device very quickly, the animation does appear. But if I wait a few extra seconds before screen-unlock, the animation sometimes shows up.
If i use only widgetlocker or only the android pattern unlock, the animation always appears.
has anyone reproduced this issue or know a way around it? thanks!!
I've got the same issue. I use the pin lock, but same thing. It seems if you unlock quick enough, you can see the animation, but it disappears a split second later. Its like Widget Locker triggers the animation instead of the pin lock screen, and the animation is starting behind the scenes while i type in my pin. Your right though, if I turn the screen off, then unlock again right after, it works.
I think there are two issues here:
1. The Android unlock screen should trigger the animation, not Widget Locker
2. The animation does start, but the duration is set to 20 seconds, and it dies within 1 second.
I was hoping there was a Widget Locker setting that might compensate for this. I tried "root helper" to no avail. Also, there is a setting that says "Retain System Keyguard (not recommended. but may help interactions with other lockscreen-related programs)", no dice.
For what it's worth, I have a Samsung Infuse 4g running SGH_I997_UCKK4 Rom (a Samsung leak).
I'm using fold 3 fancy widget stoped working all together. So now I've installed beautiful widget a nd the unlock animations are not working at all. When I open the app I see the clouds moving so I know It should be working. I've cleaned the cache and still nothing any suggestions from anyone? Wish there was another app to have windshield whiper when it rains like fancy widget...
I just want to share my recent issue with my Sense lock screen not working properly. To disable the lock screen, you normally would need to swipe up, and the same goes for the dock shortcuts. For some reason, my lock screen suddenly stopped working that way. Just by clicking anywhere on the screen, it will disable the lock screen without having to swipe up. Any Sense lock screen I chose had the same problem. This was really annoying me as my concern about accidental dial or text begins to grow. I tried to disable and uninstall different apps that I have recently installed. Unfortunately, I've been installing plenty of apps and didn't realize that the lock screen got messed up. After so many uninstall or disable of apps, I found out that the NotifierPro app was the culprit. It didn't play nice with the Sense lock screen. I thought if somebody had the same issue, might be good to check if you have NotifierPro installed or any app that will display notification while your phone is locked, that might be causing the problem with your lock screen.
Thanks so much for figuring this out. I've been wondering why my lockscreen stopped working all of a sudden. It was because I had installed light flow.
Any notification app that needs accessibility service turned on will affect the Sense lock screen. I'm really disappointed because there's plenty of notification apps I like to use such as notifier pro and the floating notification that's available here on XDA. I really hope there's a fix for this issue.

ahhh thank you for figuring this out. I was wondering for awhile what it was and didn't remember that I had recently installed notification history (uninstalled some keyboards and other random apps though). It was fixed for a little bit after a software update, but came back. Makes sense now that it probably wasn't until I received my first notification again that it stopped working...
Uninstalled it and voila...back to normal!
Rooted running various ROMs and this keeps popping up. I have my "home" lockscreen set to cLock. As soon as I get any type of notification, lock the phone then go to unlock it this one appears to the right of the home lockscreen. Wouldn't be so annoying, except for the fact that it shows up as if it were the home lockscreen and I have to swipe to the left to get to the real home lockscreen.
I've noticed this on Hyperdrive and BoneStock, so I know it's not a ROM issue. If I restart, it goes back to normal up until I get another notification. I can't edit or remove it. Driving me nuts...

If you expand the widget screen by swiping down on your widget, that's the "minimized" unlock challenge. With your cLock widget on screen, try swiping down on it, and you'll see the same thing at the bottom. If you swipe back up from it, the widget is back to normal, non-expanded size, and the challenge ring will come back to normal.
...at least that's what I'm seeing.

That doesn't look like cLock.

I should have clarified. That widget looks the same wether minimized or expanded. I know what you're saying though, the cLock widget just shows me time and weather and when I expand it I get my calendar. Whatever this widget is it shows nothing but the time and date regardless of expanded or minimized. It shouldn't bug me this badly, but it's seriously driving me crazy. I get my lockscreen setup with a cool widget and as soon as I get a text or email I get this tiny little thing that doesn't show anything useful.

Pretty sure that is the KeyguardWidget that would normally show if you had a new message or missed call or something. I would delete it and it will default to the default clock widget.

This can be achieved on a TW ROM by going to settings, lockscreen, widgets, clock size and choose small.

Nice, thanks
Just a quick update in case someone else is searching for a fix. Adjusting the lock screen widgets from settings did not work for me (on JellyBeans B6). Renaming KeyguardWidget.apk to KeyguardWidget.apk.old in /system/apps did work though. Thanks again for everyone's help!

Has anyone had any luck disabling the stock lock screen in sense 5.5? I had been using widgetlocker with the lock screen copletely disabled through settings but that option seems to be missing now. I've tried disabling the HTC lockscreen apk through the settings menu and also freezing it through titanium, both methods did nothing to remove it. I know it's nit picking but I don't like how the lock screen will appear briefly sometimes before widgetlocker overrides it. More annoyingly my alarms can't be turned off from and oddly when they go off widgetlocker doesn't allow me to unlock. This happens with calls from time to time as well. Any help would be appreciated.

Good call, that actually worked. However when I turned the lock screen widgets back on it went away again, I just can't figure out why it's not an option in the add widgets part of the lock screen

Yes, same here.
fix your circle clock with widgets for lockscreen
Remove all active widgets from lockscreen that you only see the adding option on lockscreen, but leave the option active for using widgets on lockscreen.
Then lock your screen, mean shut off your screen.
When your power on your screen again, the circle clock is back and you can set up your widgets again.
Sorry for my bad english.
