Have searched for this for some time now and no one seems to have my problem. I have a Blu Life Play running 4.2.1 and Lockscreen Widgets are enabled and work.
When I installed Dash Clock, I don't see the option for selecting it in the widget list for the lock screen. I only see the stock widgets and a few for other apps installed.
On the home screen, I can get the settings widget, allowing me to change settings and manage extensions. But in the lock screen, the widget is no where to be found.
I tried changing the security settings, used every option available for security, none work.
Any suggestions?

I have the exact same phone, and for me Dash Clock is Working. However I had the exact same problem as you at the beginning. Here is what I did.
Uninstall everything related to Dash Clock from your phone
change your default install location to INTERNAL STORAGE (Mine is always on External SD, this is why it does not work)
Install Dash Clock and all the related extensions that you need (on the internal storage)
Set your default install location back to External SD (Since our phones only have 4GB of internal storage)
Restart you phone and you should be able to see dash clock listed on the widgets
Hope this helps.
The reason for this is that some widgets do not work when they are installed on SD cards.

For some reason my weather widget when i'm at home always says 14 or current location, not the city name anymore. it has the correct name when i travel if i toggle gps and update the weather but never at home. is the anyway way to reset it clear the saved locations? I already tried the HTC weather widget in setting but all cache clearing options and the likes were grayed out. thanks for any help.
Quite common problem for users .... HTC and Verizon deny the problem exists though. I don't know of a definitive fix.
I figured out what it is, for me atleast. I use advanced task killer as im sure many eris users do (i know they say you dont need it but my eris can get sluggish with lots of apps running). I tried just not closing weather and it still gave me the issue, then on a whim I tried not closing the clock app as well. Voila! problem solved. It updates when I change position and the only apps I have running when idling are clock, weather, and atk.
That should solve it, just don't close out clock and weather and it should work.

For right now I wouldn't go force killing ANYTHING that was preinstalled on the phone when you got it. HTC Sense works in odd ways. As for me I only force kill apps that I put on the phone myself and I don't seem to have as many problems now (lockscreen lockups, jittery touch screen, touch screen not working).
I put an app button on the launchbar (DoggCatcher). Every once in a while the icon changes from the DoggCatcher icon to a generic Android icon.
The DoggCatcher icon returns when I get an app update from the Market.
Eventually, it goes back to the generic icon and the process repeats over and over.
The functionality remains the same. It's just that the icon changes.
Does this happen to anyone else with any of your icons on the launchbar?
Does anyone have an idea why or how to prevent it from happening?
Thanks
have you tried with another icons? I had change the icons so often without any problem... (I believe your talking about dock application, right? )
Changed app to see what happens
Yes, I am talking about the dock application at the bottom of every screen. I just changed the app on the launch bar to see what happens.
The Google Music icon that I have on the launch bar never changes to a generic Android icon so you could be right.
It might be the DoggCatcher app.
Thanks
Is DoggCatcher on the SD card? If so, try moving it to internal storage and see what happens.
It is on the SD Card
I'll try moving it. Good suggestion.
Hello. I've installed ICS 4.0.3 (I9100XXLPS), and then rooted it. Everything works fine except for two things: Chainfire3D and lock screen AccuWeather.
In Chainfire3D I can't use per-app settings, because, for some reason, they won't work. I've tried reinstalling it, still no luck.
As for AccuWeather lock screen display, it shows 0.0°C most of the time, unless I go to Dispay Settings, and disable, then re-enable Weather. This fixes it for some time, after which it goes back to 0.0°C. The problem is only with the lock screen one, desktop widget shows normal temperature all the time.
Are these known issues? Any help on how to fix this would be appreciated. Thanks!
I have this problem too. The only solution is to disable weather from lock screen. There is no fix for this issue at the moment.
I've managed to make it work on my Galaxy S II (don't know for now long it will work ):
- I had the accuweather widget and accuweather lock screen enabled.
- Go to Applications on Settings, All applications
- Clear data and Force stop the app called "Accuweather Weather Daemon"
- Clear data and Force stop the app called "Accuweather.com"
- Turn on locating services
- Remove and add again accuweather widget on the home screen. It will automatically use the location service and show the right information.
After that the accuweather widget on the lock screen shows the right temperature as well
Hello everybody,
I have an Acer V370 (dual sim) with stock Android 4.2.2 and rooted. I find very usefull to have the toggle widgets on home screen, to quickly switch WiFi, Sync, Data, BT, Sound, etc.
As the stock "Power control" widget is not configurable (as far as I know), I installed Power Toggles from PlayStore and it worked very good until now... Now I have the problem, that I cannot switch on the Data, when I "push" the switch, it becomes orange for a short time and after that goes back to gray (dimmed, switched off). I tried following things, without success:
- delete app data (through Manage Apps, etc.)
- uninstall and re-install the app
- checked again if the app is installed in internal memory, not on SD card
As I had no success, I uninstalled Power Toggles and installed Extended Controls app from Store, but it behaves exactly the same!
Could it be a problem in the OS? What should I still try now?

Whenever I close the app in the app switcher, the widget loses the current location for weather updates. What's worse is that all locations which I've added in the app are lost upon restarting and I have to select my location again.
I don't suppose the app has to be constantly running in the app switcher for the widget to work correctly?
Yes, usually if a widget is part of a standalone app, the app needs to always run. At least that has been my experience. I don't know about your specific app there though.
I am sure there are apps that make the widget run independently of the main app, but most I have seen seem to need the app running, or the widget won't function.
Turns out this widget doesn't need the app to be running after all. It's just that I had disabled the storage permission as per Android 6 permission settings and that caused a problem even though the app did not complain. I thought it needed to access storage only when adding custom background pictures, which I didn't intend to use.
What's interesting is that without the storage permission even if I left the app running, but it got bumped out of memory and needed to reload, it would also lose location settings. This makes me think there was some sort of virtual storage created in the absence of storage permission, so that as long as the app was running it could save the location there. But it gets erased as soon as the app is closed. Maybe a fail-safe solution for the lack of permission? I could be wrong.
