News Widget Stops Updating

It works for a while and stop updating on CNN news. Doing manual updates just has the loading icon going forever with "updating..." at the bottom.
Does everyone have this problem or found a fix?

Anyone know?

more information is needed, what ROM you are on, are you pre-OTA T-Mo update/post-OTA T-Mo update, custom ROM. Have you tried removing the Widget and re-adding it? have you tried uninstalling the application and downloading it.

Stock ROM. Removed, added. Did a factory reset a while back for another reason, it started working for a while and stopped again.
No clue on the update status...

If you've done all that then i don't know what to tell you.
I do not follow CNN news at all. And i'm not allowed to mention why since cell phones are not political.

so i have no reason to use the widget, nor their app.

There is no way to get it to display just the name of the person messaging you without also previewing the message is there?

Menu/home soft buttoms

Hi,
I was curious if someone could tell me what the left and right arrows are for on either side of the menu/home/back buttons (see attached pic). I press them and nothing happens, and I can't find a description anywhere of what they do. Thanks

I wish those arrows showed up on mine, guess Sprint didn't get that option. Unless it's something you are supposed to enable in settings.

[Q] Looking for a simple app search widget

I installed Action Launcher and it has an amazing quick search app widget that is built in.
I would like to use another launcher, but can't find another quick search like this. Using Google Search takes me to a new window and performs more searches than I need.
Does anyone know of a widget that can do just app searches that I can place on my launcher and do 1 second searches?

Thanks. I installed it, and while it is REALLY fast, it still takes u to a separate screen for the searches. I am looking for a dropdown search that stays in the widget on the home screen.

oh.maybe this one can do the job:

Softkeys / buttons remap for navigation bar

Hello,
The original buttons mapping is really terrible on stock rom.
I was searching for a way to modify them to something like on custom roms.
For example : double tap home starts a certain app.
The only app on playstore is not compatible.
The renovate ice mod is really bloated and I don't want to allow root access without knowing what it is doing.
Is there a way to edit the softkeys?

I didn't see any app mentioned. My bad.
Yes. It will work for non-rooted devices, just follow the adb commands, and you should be good.
