I am noticing that every time i unlock the phone and go to Agenda or Bookmark widget they start refreshing themselves. This did not happen on Evo 4G. Shouldn't it refresh in the background and be available for me to look at when i need to without waiting for the widget to refresh?
Please let me know if you see the same behavior.
anybody? bump

For agenda, do you mean that it connects to internet and pulls the google calendar data in? If I'm not mistaken, that shouldn't happen, since google calendar uses cloud-2-device technology. But I've never used that one (I used smooth calendar and, recently, native spb shell 3d widget).
Perhaps what you are seeing is simply widgets refreshing themselves from the their main apps, which already have the data needed.
it never happened on evo 4g. i think there is some issue with evo 3d, and i hope it's fixed in OTA or maybe someone know whats up and can recommend solution.

If you want an answer, you need to provide mode detail.
If you mean the widgets yes they did, I had an EVO 4G for 11 months since it came out and it did to make sure you didn't add any other appointments maybe you never notice
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
i thought that widgets are supposed to be running all the time in the background collecting all the data for fast retreival. this does not seem to be fast. I only have 2 calendars and it takes 5-7 seconds to refresh. why doesn't it do it when the phone is woken up. why wait till i go and look at the widget. Same is happening with bookmarks. seems like a glitch.

There is recently some problem with whatsapp fullsyncing and causing massive wakelock even though i had switched off my internet. These only happened with the few latest versions of whatsapp
Anyone has similar experience?
The service causing the wakelock:

Same problem here except I'm on a galaxy nexus running aokp build 27 with Franco's kernal. Murdering my battery it is.
Same issue using galaxy s2
Hey guys,
Pls help!!!
I am using Xperia P and since an Update few days ago whatsapp has been draining my battery heavily!!!
I added a Screenshot! I lost nearly 30% in 3 hrs! Anybody know how to fix this?!
Edit:
I found out: manually killing the whatsapp task and rebooting the phone seems to fix the problem, at least for me and at least for now.

Seems like thats the case. A friend of mine had the same problem but he was able to fix it by killing the whatsapp task and deleting its cache. Anybody got sucessful by that too?
Note my edit above, I solved it with an additional reboot. Still wondering about whats the matter with whatsapp...

Same here, on a stock Galaxy Nexus.
Excellent update, Whatsapp, really ..
I'm experiencing the same issue. Over the course of a day, it's kept my phone awake for over 7 hours! WTH is going on.

Found this possible solution in the Nexus forum. I just did it so won't know immediately whether it works or not.

Go to settings, scroll down to accounts, tap on whatsapp. There you can turn off contacts synchronization, which is causing the wakelocks.
It will not interfere with your messages as this only sycs your contacts.
Do check once in a while if it stays of as with me it sometimes turns on automatically

I've had this since updating Whatsapp+ to v3.9D. Going back to 3.85D for now...
The issue is still there with the latest whatsapp update (2.10.768).
Also the workaround doesnt work for me anymore (disabeling the contact sync) even with the sync turned off, whatsapp went syncing overnight with my screen off(?!) It didn't turned sync on, but it went in "full sync" wakelock anyway...
I send an email to the whatsapp developers. I think (and hope) more people did this already, if this issue won't be resolved i will remove whatsapp messenger. This issue is just damn irritating and very bad for battery life (short and long term).

I'm experiencing this as well. I disabled contacts sync but the problem is that it turns itself back on.
Also have to say that i'm on a LG Nexus 4. Maybe i'm wrong, but it looks like LG & Samsung (Nexus models) phones on Android 4.2.2 are the only ones with this issue. In the Whatsapp messenger comments at google play this problem/bug is not mentioned either.
Don't know if you already found this out, but trowing it into the open anyways. Using 4.2.2 for only two weeks now, coming of 2.3.5.
Today i found out that there is another (hidden) "sync" option to be found via the google agenda/calender. Go to settings -> choose your google/gmail account -> Accounts and synchronisation. there is another option listed above the accounts i could't find earlier "Appdata/information aut.." (i think that stands for "Automatically synchronise app data").
Turning this off will mean none of your accounts will sync automatically anymore. I will check if this (temporarly) works overnight and report on that.
I'm thinking charging the device enables the bug. I'm thinking this because i looked at my phone over the rest of the day (wakelock detector) and the issue didn't occur.

Not true. I'm experiencing this issue on my S3 with a TouchWiz 4.1.2 ROM.
I have the same problem now on my HTC One running Android 4.2.2 and the current whatsapp+ version (Base Whatsapp 2.10.750)
Good news from my side.
With the app sync unticked via the google calendar the problem did not occur overnight after charging.
This temp fix looks like it's working for now.

where did you find whatsapp in google calandar? can you explain that a little? thanks
Just follow the steps i explained.
You will see a list of all your accounts. Whatsapp should be in that list. On the top of that list untick the app sync.
Note that my way works on a LG Nexus 4, you use a HTC. This has a layer over android that may have a different way to change settings.
Just look for your "auto sync" settings and put that off in general. This workaround seems to work for me.
EDIT: Unhappy to report that the problem came back right after charging my phone.
Is anyone elses weather widget not updating correctly? I go to a differnt city an hour away for work and it never changes to that city! And I have it set to my location. I even click refresh a thousand times and it doesnt change. The only thing that changes it is rebooting the device. Also sometimes it just says My Current Location.
What is your device? Probably you will need WiFi/mobile network to update your location.

Have u taken and deleted the widget and added it new again. There is one or two other checkbox options that u are asked for the first time u put it up.
At least on the ics/sense 4.0 rom I run on my 3d that's what the deal is. I would assume its the same for the official release.

This is getting real aggravating! The only way my weather updates my location is by rebooting the phone!! I have everything checked in settings. All the Location aI dont remember if it did this before I started using a Custom Rom or not. Does anyones weather update automatically wherever they go in real time? I dont know what to do anymore its driving me nuts! Help anyone?

Hhmmm....I havent noticed that at all. Ive noticed it with my WeatheBug App. Bug not the stock weather app...and u have everything under Locations in the settings checked?
EDIT....Now i dont know if its because i just woke up (But damn it felt good to sleep 2 extra hours, TIme to go golfing in Beverly at 11. Come join) so i dont know if this is due to the weather, but it seems everytime i head into a different town, i get a pop-up to select my time zone, so this way the time stays up to date. Im not sure if that what your talking about. I just checked my Setting inside the Weather app, and i was surprised to see that there was no check underneath "my current location"....Is that checked off for you?
Ha! What's up man. Ya I have all that checked! I get that time pop up too. Bug when I go to work in Norwood from.New Bedford my weather NEVER changes towns not even when I get to Norwood unless I reboot. What Rom are u on? I'm getting the SG3 in a few weeks too, but I'm gonna keep this phone too cuz I love it but this weather thing is driving me crazy.

Im having the same problem, it staring to bug me. Im coming up on day 14 on saturday so I wonder if anyone found out whats going on and if other people are having the same problem. By the way I live in Norwood.
You have to check current location when choosing the clock widget. Try deleting it and adding a new one and make sure to click current location. I had the same problem until I did this.

My weather widget app always shows that that the current weather is thunderstorms, regardless of where I am. I have to open it up and it'll refresh to sunny or cloudy. Then if I don't use by phone for a bit it'll go back to thunderstorms. I just checked and I didn't have currently location checked so that'll hopefully fix my issue.

I have the Google Finance app on my Defy+. In the last few days I noticed that the ticker had stopped updating. Tapping on the widget gets me an incomplete share price page and the title line says "Loading" continuously - it never finishes loading
I tried uninstalling Google Finance and re-installing it from Play. The result of that was that I couldn't add a share to the ticker list at all
Fortunately I had a Ti backup of the app so I restored that, with its data, and I now have the share back in the ticker - but it's still not updating. I've tried adding a different share to the ticker and it just sits there with the sync icon in the notification area, achieving nothing.
It's as if Google Finance can't talk to Google any more. All my other network apps, including eg Google Maps, work fine.
Anyone got any ideas?
I have the same problem, but my prob only started midday today
I also have the same problem. No idea what to do.

Its like Finance has been dying a slow death. I haven't been able to get my widget to auto update at all for months on multiple phones. Now this. I really wish there was another compact widget that would simply give me the current dow. Time to move on. Anyone have any suggestions?
The app called "stocks" uses your google finance portfolios and seems to work still (indicating a server-side problem for google). I don't like it as much as Finance, but at least it works. Doesn't come with a widget, though
Thanks but I really need a home screen widget
---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------
I think it says something that we are the only three people across the world making noise after Finance goes non-functional for about 3 days now.
I thought it was surprising that no one complained when the widget quit auto updating months ago. Here it goes completely dead and hardly a word.
If anyone is interested, I tried most of the widgets and this one is the only one that seemed to work and auto updated in as little as 1 min increments per the settings.

I have the same problem
For the past few days It didn't update any stock quotes. I deleted data and uninstalled then reinstalled and now it doesn't even update my portfolio from Google Finance server and can't add new stocks or do nothing. It is completely non-functional now.
I'm also having the exact same problem on HTC Evo 3D.
- App wasn't syncing
- Deleted data and lost my portfolio
- Reinstalled and still not working
- Sync icon stays in the left hand corner but it does not update
The portfolio is still available on the full/mobile websites.
Same problem here with my motor RAZR Maxx. Widget stopped updating so I uninstalled and reinstalled. Now I can't get it to sync with my saved stocks.
Hmmm... yesterday I needed to rebuild my Galaxy S2 phone (had tried a different OS and had problems restoring the original). I had deleted google finance 2 days ago.
Today I reinstalled Finance, just to see.... and it's working fine! Got my portfolio reloaded and replicates prices nice & fast!
Soooo either Google Finance just started working again for everyone, or the solution to the problems reported here is some sort of delete..wipe..reinstall cycle
Good luck ladies & gents.

Apparently no reinstall needed. Wonder if by some miracle auto update started working also. We'll see when the market opens.
I sent an email to the support email address in the app and now it's working. Maybe they do read those emails.
Yup, working for me again now. Must have been a Google problem. (I did e-mail them about it twice but didn't hear anything back.)
Now all I have to do is find the RBS stock mnemonic which gives me the real current price of RBS ordinary shares. I know they're not great but 7.45p sure ain't right...
Google's Problem
I second ejstubb's assessment. I initially uninstalled / reinstalled with no resolution. As of last night, it seems to be working fine, so i can only assume it was a problem on Google's end.
Does anyone except me care about the fact that the stock monitor widget has quit auto updating months ago? I guess no one uses it?

I just checked the settings and mine was set to 4 hours. Maybe that is why I thought it wasn't auto updating. I just set it to 30 minutes.

I can't get either the weather widget, or the weather on the lockscreen to find my location and show the weather? My wife has same phone sitting right next to me, working with no problems. Anyone else having these issues?

Yes, I turned on all location services and it would just sit there trying to find my location. It would then say it couldn't find it and if I would like to retry now or later. I did a restart on my device and waited a bit. Pulled up maps etc and then tried again. It finally worked and is working good so far. Hope that lame fix works for you.
Check your dbms...... It's probably -100 or worse.
