The top one and the 2nd row left 2 are "beautiful widgets". PAID
the battery widget is "BatteryLife" FREE
I can't seem to get the Weatherbug or CNN widgets to stay visible. I put them on a screen and they work fine for awhile. Then they disappear. The widget is definitely still they since I can't put anything else in the place it occupies and I can grab it and drag it to the remove Icon. In fact, removing the widget and putting it back is the only way I have found to make them visible again (note: I did not try a reboot or power off since its actually easier and faster to just put them back).
The email widgets (I have one for gmail and one for regular email),calendar widget, bookmark widget and Beautiful Widget Home have worked perfectly.
Seem to only be effecting some of the widgets. Anyone else seeing disappearing widgets?

I have the same problem with the weatherbug widget. It is definitely still there - I can't put anything in its location and i can even long press and drag the invisible widget to the trash can.
any thoughts? Thanks!
I know the CNN widget depends on a network connection, when I'm offline it usually stops showing items. They just didn't code it to gracefully fail, it just shows an empty stack widget.

Yeah, I expect that to happen. I sometimes lose network connection at night (not great signal in my bedroom - which according to my wife is a good thing!). I can understand an empty stack widget, but my weatherbug widget completely disappears. You bring up a good point though, maybe I'll leave it in the living room tonight so it doesn't lose connection and see if the widget disappears. I hope they fix that before the wifi only model comes out.
@OP - do you sometimes lose network connection. Could your problem also be related?
I havn't had any problems with mine
Are you using the stock launcher? I know that on my phone in the past if the launcher runs into an issue this very same widget issue happened.
I have had the same issues with my Cnn widgets and the weather. I have found that if you go in to the actual application from the app drawer it will refresh the widgets. Although for CNN you have to go to each feed for whatever widget you have. ex. tech widget stack, you must go the tech feeds in the CNN app and it brings the stack widget back up. Needs a fix

I don't think that is the problem. It has been on WiFI the whole time (I have WiFi configured to never disconnect) and it's never been out of range of my router.

I'm pretty sure I tried that, but next time it happens I'll give that a shot.
And just to be clear; the widget is literally invisible (not just empty).
When a stack widget has no items it is invisible. It's likely that from time to time the widget update failed and left the empty widget.

Perhaps, but they never seem to recover. I've left them alone for hours and they never reappear. Since it only seems to happen to these two widgets I think the problem lies with the widget implementation (i.e. coding problems).
I'm hoping for an update and until I get one I'm not using the widgets.
It didn't happen for a while now, but it did last night. I lost both the CNN widget and the weatherbug widget and they never recovered. i purposely refreshed all data and nothing. it's a bit annoying as the only solution is to delete the widget (if you long press in the general area where the widget was, it still thinks it's there and I can drag it to trash).
I have tried switching to a static wallpaper. I will report back.

I've always been on a static wallpaper and I still get the issue. I'd be curious if it helps you.
Static wallpaper did not help
Having the same problem with the CNN widget. I'm running LauncherPro and I thought it was the problem but I guess not. It must be a coding issue or refresh issue.
For Weaterbug, switch off "Enable my location" if it is on, and switch it on if it is off. That restores the widget. You can then set it as you wish.
I also have this problem. Mainly with the Accuweather widget disappearing. I use a static background. Stock Kernal. Not sure why it does this but.... I am sure this will get worked out in the upcomming builds.
Two questions about the GS2's Accuweather Widget.
First, it doesn't seem to update the weather without me hitting the update sync, it also doesn't update locations like Beautiful Widgets does.
Second, I'm also using Launcher Pro, but when I try and resize the Accuweather Widget, the blue color back ground doesn't fit.
So anyone know how to resize in LP?
And get the thing to update the weather and locations?
Thanks

Go launcher, launcher pro and adw fail to resize stock widgets correcty.... You can see that in this video too

Ok, thought so on LP.
What about the updating of the Accuweather widget and locations?
I'm using the AccuWeather Wideget, and I found that disabling the "Enable current location" on AccuWeather causing the high power consumption service "Wifi Sharing Service" disappear from Battery Status list, it used to take 30-40% of my GS2 battery.

Well I've been running Launcher Pro and went back to TW4 today, I had the Accuweather widget running all day with the check mark on Enable Current Location and I have to say my battery life was much better than running Launcher Pro. I didn't use the phone that much today, sat on the desk at home, but push email from K9 was running all day a few text messages ect and for at least 3 hours it showed 100%, right now its at 95%. Thats with WiFi Bluetooth and Sync ON.
When I'm on LP I use Beautiful Widgets, I like how that widget updates your location and weather, but maybe thats whats draining my battery faster than Accuweather.
But exactly what does Enable Current Location do in Accuweather? It doesn't detect my Current location thats for sure.

Please also disable the following functions beside AccuWeather Enable Current Location:
Voice Command & Voice Talk (preloaded on GS2)
Uncheck Settings -> Use location

As my understanding, the Accuweather will keep detecting your location in certain interval to make sure it reporting the weather on your current city and display on the widget. When you have your WIFI On, and you have "Use wireless networks" checked in "Location and security", it will wake up the "Wireless Sharing" service and Accuweather or Voice Command / Voice Talk will use that "Wireless Sharing" service to keep detecting your location, that's why most of the time you see that service drain your battery for 20%-40% daily. Maybe I'm wrong but proved on my phone this method really work.

Thanks Sleepycat, please tell us the result! Hopefully the solution can temporary fix on every GS2 phones' battery problem before Samsung releasing the new firmware.
I think I might have figured out the Enable Current Location feature, it looks like it uses the GPS. Now I'm not sure if it updates on its own like Beautiful Widgets, which btw doesn't use the GPS since I always have it off.

Click on the widget and change the setting on auto refresh to what you want.
Mine works fine.
When I apply the large yota clock widget (the analog one that takes up most of the screen) to an EPD panel, it shows the city as 'Moscow' though the time on the large clock is right. The times on the three additional cities then seem to be wrong. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a setting I am missing?

Yes, location is on and it seems to work fine as the weather widgets show my exact location. It is just the large clock widget with the three times below it for additional cities. Its settings do not provide the option to specify a location. It looks like a bug to me unless someone else can try it and confirm it shows their location and not "Moscow" above the analog clock?

OK thanks - that is strange as all other location-based services work fine on mine so I don't understand why I am seeing 'Moscow'. It's not a big deal as I'm not even that fond of that widget, but I just like to solve mysteries like this!

Hi, I'm new to the V20. Is it possible to show the temperature on the second screen?
Thanks!
If you have a weather app that updates weather and has notification it may show on the second screen for a short while.
Weather bug does and it stays on the second screen when the display is off.

Disable/uninstall stock Weather App, it's very fugly anyways and install Yahoo Weather, allow it to show notification and then you'll have temp (in C or F) always in the status bar or second screen!
Weather Channel app also shows current temp in 2nd screen without it disappearing.
It's a paid app, but I highly recommend Weather Timeline
Attatched an image of what it looks like on the second screen.
Maybe its been updated but weatherbug shows on my second screen
how about disabling the date on second screen when is in lock screen, like some roms has it
