Widgets not refreshing - G1 General

Hey all,
I have a time widget on my homescreen that doesn't seem to update everytime I come to it. I've tried different settings to get it to work but it changes time sporadically and isn't very useful.
Any tips to get it working properly? I'm using LauncherPro.

Yes, mine does the same thing.
Ditto, it's just my widgets way of reminding me YouTube is more importanat than work.

[Q] Fake "Broken" lockscreen?

Now that I finally got my G1 to work, I want it to be "broken".
I would like to have a bootup lock screen that looks like the phone still is not functioning. Something like a force close alert or a black screen that requires a code.
I tried app locker 2 and put it on the launcher but it seemed erratic and I could access the dialer and messaging on first boot so that wont work.
Any ideas?
Nobody has any ideas? I would think there would be an app that would work but looking through the market I am not finding anything. It appears that lockscreens are cooked into the rom?

Google Calendar

Hello all,
I recently flashed FORCE ROM and love it. However one thing I do miss is the stock Google calendar widget. The green one that shows the entire month. I've downloaded the one from the play store but that just doesn't cut it. I've pulled the .apk from my stock backup but I cannot get it to install. Anyone know how I can get this widget back? Thanks!

Any luck with this?
I had to disable the widget to get TouchWiz home working again and I can't find the default widget.

You can try the GO Calendar Widget as an alternative!
Ok, after re-enabling calendar widget and rebooting phone, the default month calendar widget is available.
However, as soon as I try to attach it to a home page, TouchWiz home stops working as soon as I access that screen.
All other screens work fine.

Time not correct issues

If I try any other launcher like nova or solo my time widget doesn't update.but the time in the notification bar is correct. Also i have tried other time widgets they too don't update correctly. But the time works fine on touch wiz. I have also changed time to network settings... Thanks for any help

Widgets Not Updating

Has anyone had a problem where widgets will not update (for example, weather widgets don't refresh and switch widgets don't show a change in state)? I had thought I traced my issue to Be weather, and switched to Beautiful Widgets and after working fine for a day or two it has started to cease updating every few hours and require me to restart the launcher. I noticed this on Apex and Go Launcher.

Some Samsung specific widgets will not update if you are using a different launcher

The widgets I am referring to are third party - BeWeather and Beautiful Widgets appear to potentially "cause" an issue, but once the issue occurs, all widgets are impacted.

My internet access works fine (I still get emails) - and once I restart the launcher it automatically updates. Plus I have played with the network optimizer function (new feature that will go on and off WiFi depending on the ability to get on the internet) on and off and the same thing happens.

The re-update switch in the widgets doesn't work. Updating launchers and widgets to latest versions does not work. All widgets just become unresponsive including switch widgets (I use switchpro). They will perform the function (I.e. on a weather widget the update happens in the background and the switch will perform whatever function its tied to) but it will not display (I.e. the switch widget will not show the change in state and weather widgets will not show the updated weather).

Have you asked some of your friend if they have the same problem like yours.

Lol - I hang out with all apple guys. I do know one person with an S5, uses Go Launcher and has this issue with the Accuweather widget and the stock weather widget (which I believe was also powered by accuweather on the back end). I noticed that, regardless of the widget I was using, I still show BeWeather as an active process, so I went ahead and uninstalled it. I still have the issue however.
PS - I have no issues with my Nexus 7 (2012) which runs Kitkat as well.
Interestingly enough, the problem seems to have fixed itself. There were updates to Apex in the meantime, perhaps its that.
My friend with Go Launcher is also seeing the same impact - the issue is gone.

Calendar widget quit updating
Just today, my calendar widget stopped updating. Just says "No upcoming calendar events." I've tried the stock and Agenda Widgets - nothing. I'm running Google Now launcher, but they don't work in Touchwiz Launcher either. I noticed yesterday that the number of items on the widget began to dwindle.
Any fix for this?
Well, trust me I did everything for my Xperia L when I encountered this problem.
What I did for my device

Look two three posts before it for more information!
What fixed it was taking battery out for few minutes and putting it back again!
Hey guys, if you stop the cashed process for touchwiz home, the widgets immediately start updating. I'm using a verizon Samsung galaxy s5 4.4.4 kitkat. Just thought I'd throw that in...
