I am wondering if this has happened to anyone else. On my Focus S, I pinned my girlfriends tile to the start screen, and while she has updated her FB, the last update I get is from last week. I tried resyncing but that doesnt seem to do the trick, anyone else have this issue of some statuses not updating right?

So I tried a forum search and Google search but I came up short; hopefully the community can help answer this question for me. I'm not sure if this is normal or not, or maybe I'm spoiled by Sense on Android. I am running Elegancia v8.5, if that makes any difference.
The widgets on my HD2, for example, like weather and Twitter, will not update by themselves, even though i have them both set to update automatically. For Twitter, I even have it so I get an audible tone when it updates and there are new tweets, but I only actually get a notification when I restart my phone.
The weather itself, on the Today screen, will stay the same temperature and won't update until I go to the weather tab, then it will update. I didn't turn off my phone for two days, nor did I go into the weather tab over that period of time, and the weather was the same until I finally went to the tab, then it updated at that point and time.
When I was running Sense on my old Android device, I would have Twitter update every hour, and every hour, on the hour, I would get a notification and an audible tone, unlike with Sense on WinMo.
In addition, the weather would update every hour as well from the home screen, without me having to open up the weather application.
Getting on to the point, is this normal operation? If not, what am I doing wrong that it won't update like it is supposed to. If it is normal, is there anything I can do to make it work like I want it to work, or am I just going to have to deal with it?
Thanks in advance.
I'm running stock ROM and my weather updates in the background, and it is always current when I slide to it. I dont' use twitter so I can't answer that one.
Anyone having a problem with the digital clock stock widget? My widget size is 3x1 and when installed, cuts off the day/date text. Is there a 4x1 size option? Seems like something has happened to my widget. I am latest version, stock, rooted. Anyone else having similar problem? It's very aggravating.

Mine did this last Sunday and has been the same ever since. I have rooted but am still running latest stock firmware

But I believe it's always been like that.
The Day text is cut off and shifted down a line so it shows:
Wednes
day
Rather than:
Wednesday
I don't use a clock on my screens though as there is one in the lower right corner.
EDIT
Ah looking back on some earlier Tab images used as promo's it is clear it should be the Day and Date in 1 line... Not sure what could be causing this. *scratches head*
I solved the problem by going into settings/applications/digital clock and uninstalling the updates. Seems like the latest update screwed my digital clock up. Once I did that, it works like it should and doesn't cut off anything...day/date on first text line, and city on second text line. And, the size of the widget is now 5x2. I knew something wasn't right with the size. That's why it was cutting off the day/date text.
woo hoo.
Mine did that when I tried to set the city name to nothing (blank).
Setting a name fixed it.
I see now that that doesn't work. Sorry for the misinformation.
Can't find any updates to remove to fix widget size.
Re jyams's fix, I've the same problem but can't find any way to uninstall any clock updates.
Is this because mine's not rooted?
The fact that the day is show followed by a comma tells me that the widget size is the problem.
More confused than ever
Just noticed that when the tablet comes out of standby, awaiting the padlock to be dragged, the original, properly displayed time widget is displayed. It has a different font but isn't truncated, it's as if I'm using the wrong widget on the homepage.
anyone find a fix? Mine was normal until I decided to rearrange my Widgets and deleted the stock one now I have this problem.
I had the same issue once, messed with it for like a day trying to get it to work...finally figured out that if I lock the rotation with the switch then reboot, it causes the clock widget to malfunction. Playing with the rotation lock switch, making sure to end up in the unlocked position, then rebooting fixed it for me. Don't know if it will work for you, but worth a shot.
hi.......i have some problems with default weather widget from accuweather.
it doesnt auto update. the refresh button from the widget doesnt work also.
only when i open weather and update it manually it updates.
factorsy reseted, same thing happens!
can this be solved?
I sometimes have this problem too, but that with Go Launcher. Never had a problem on TW! Try to remove the Widget and adding it again.
I've had problems in all roms.
Phone auto syncs fine, weather widget is set to auto update every 3 hours.
I've been on wifi & regular signal fine today, yet last update was at 1950 last night
Has occurred with multiple firmware versions, and regardless of removing /readding widget or resetting.
I've put it down to a broken widget ...
Hi. I encountered this too and doing a hard reset solved my problem. Key in *2767*3855# in the dialer. Warning though, this will wipe your phone into factory state and also your internal SD card.
ive had trouble with most of the weather widgets you can get on android not updating. Only one ive found that actualy seems to do so is the fancy widget one, and thats the only one that actually names my town too and not the one 5 miles away
Fancy Widget PRO is the way to go for weather.
I recently updated to Oreo on the Sprint network on my S8 and now all my badge icons have disappeared and I cannot get them to work. Regardless of the app or what settings I turn on the badges do not work. I'm also not getting any edge lighting notifications when the screen is turned off. I have tried hard reboots and still nothing. This is very disappointing as I was hoping the update was going to fix all these issues. Any suggestions to help fix these issues would be appreciated.
Do not complain if U didn't do a factory reset after update.
It's a must on samsung devices after a major update. Sadly.
I have managed to fix this somehow.
I was a trying a few things and have basically managed to wipe my home screens. So need to set up icons and widgets again. It's quite cathartic...
The upshot is that Badge icon notifications are working again.
I think deleting the cache and memory for the Samsung Home Experience and a restart fixed it
Good Luck

Not quite working as it was!
I now get the numbered badge icons which was not the case post upgrade.
However they disappear if and when the notifications are cleared. Very annoying!
I'm also having issues when the notifications.
If I clear the notification bar it clears the badges on the apps. Also if you enter an app that has a bafge, don't read the message the badge still disappears.
I'm fairly confident that wasn't the case before the update.
Edit: sorry, reply to a wrong post.
Factory reset, OR a new phone don't fix it. I've tried both, 4 trips to AT&T, 2 new S8 actives later... still an issue. Samsung tech support (4xs) says it's a software issue and won't be fixable. They tell me to "just wait for the update to fix it." Super annoying they can't get their $#!* together and fix it.
Hi, I went googling regarding this... I recall sometime a few months back, there was a time when notifications went transparent for awhile.
I found some stuff on Reddit regarding this... though people were actually complaining about it
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/e3kg5e/lock_screen_notifications_transparent/
https://www.reddit.com/r/Pixel3a/comments/ddjf4l/transparent_notifications_i_randomly_had/
They said it appeared randomly before/after a security update, but then that was that.
Is there any way to get that back? Is it a mod that can be done? Changing the alpha on the notifications?
