Something wrong with my Launcher, no matter if I use Xperia S Launcher or T or GX, all the of them are giving me weird problem, they stop updating the widgets after two days.
I mainly use Fancy Widgets 3.5.5 & battery info. which constantly update the information. but after two days those widgets stuck at the same value & show the old information, until I reboot the device, & then again for 2 days ...
I am on Stock Rom with Locked boot loader.
Any Help ?

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..
I use GO launcher as it is a really nice app, but since version 2.87 I cannot add new widgets or wallpapers anymore. Clicking on 'Add' on Preferences or long clicking the background does nothing.
I had the problem under 2.3.3 but after upgrade to ICS 4 the problem persisted.
Is this a known problem ?
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 ..
I notice when you keep your Wifi On for so long (I use wifi for more then 5 hours) then Launcher (no matter what launcher you use, i tried Stock launcher, modified, xperis s/t/gx & Go Launcher ex) stop updating the widgets information, ie, the Time widget don't update the time & weather widget don't update the weather information. they remain stuck unless I forcefully restart the launcher.
is that a bug related to ICS & Sony Rom ?
anyone else notice the bug ? or Im missing something ?

maybe problem is from your ROM. if you use custom ROMs , use a stable one, like Pureness v 14 or Jellysandwich.
and if you are on official sony update , maybe a it is a bug .
I use Stock Rom.
Just want to make sure, is it related to Sony Stock ICS or just me ?

I am on Custom ROM and don't have such a problem.so i am not sure about stock ROM, but you can try a custom ROM, and if problem does not solved , its you
Thanks for the suggestion,
personally, i don't like any of the Custom Rom. they all have some problems/lags.
I can try Jelly sandwich or pureness but again, they both are based on Stock Rom !
I also experienced same bug, why/when it happen I don't know, didn't found pattern. But now that you mention WiFi, will check it.
I remember I experience that but some long time ago, and I always restarted phone to fix it, now I just leave it for a min or two, and it start refreshing again.

It was so annoying to find out what was the problem, I just keep eye on every Application & Launcher one by one I checked all the application & different launcher. & figure it out, its Wifi causing the problem. keep the wifi On for 1 hour and your widgets stop updating.
how did you fix it ?
DirectDial and DirectMessage widgets which existed when I bought the phone disappeared after the subsequent releases. Are there any ways to get these 2 widgets back?
Absolutely simple and essential widgets which have been removed for no reason!!! :-(
