I've got an issue with various clock widgets on my Note 3. Each of them, sense flip clock, fancy widgets and hd widgets when used on my home screen don't always update the time, it's almost as though it's frozen. I did some digging and it could be down to any battery saving app, I've uninstalled juice defender but the issue is still there.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

Alternative Launcher
I would love an answer to this as well. I installed Launcher Po but likewise could not get widgets to show.
All home replacement launchers cannot not have widget with S7. Its a known issue, I thought by removing default launcher would help but ended with same result, maybe with custom roms it will fix this issue.

I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I was doing wrong.
I've uninstalled both ADW and launcher pro multiple times trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Then I thought maybe it was to do with the changes Telstra made as mine is rebranded and has apps I cant uninstall.
I have noticed that the icon for the widget is different in the default home screen to in the other launchers.

Widgets just won't work for now. I've tried adw, launcher pro, zeam, etc, etc...just live with the native launcher if you want any widgets for now.
LauncherPro is great for me but yes, no widget use apparently. We are awaiting a new ROM to flash after CWMod comes here.

if you root the device you can uninstall all of the telstra crap...
on the subject of telstra, how **** is it that telstra prepaid cannot tell you how much 3G data you have used for the month... its a bloody joke.
I had the same problem with ADWlauncher and Widgetlocker. After installing AppWidgetPicker it works with widgetlocker. Don't know about the launcher because i removed it. You can find AppWidgetPicker here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780828
Edit: tested with ADW and it works!
With 2. 2 All the widgets work

in my s7Slim any launcher not work... touchscreen freeze at reboot... and is necessary to disinstall the alternative launcher with the Hi Suite or an hardreset.. The touchscreen driver in all in one with the original launcher??? ...in my old Ideos s7 i don't ave the same problem...
I just updated to the latest version of Google Play Music and got the new UI, it looks good and everything, but there's one problem, the homescreen widget changed from 4x1 to 3x1 for some reason. Now, It looks crappy and I want the 4x1 widget back. I have already uninstalled updates/force stop/disable re enabled/rebooted, no luck. I don't know why this is happening now 0or if it is happening to any others, but yeah, I thought the play music widget was resizable 4x1, now it is a unresizeable 3x1. Help please! How do I get it back to 4x1?
Rooted Nexus 7, Stock Jellybean 4.2.2
I also have Nova launcher installed so I checked and on Nova launcher the widget was 4x1 instead of 3x1, the correct size it was before I updated the play music app, which can also be resizes on Nova launcher. What could be causing the problem? Should I clear data/uninstall updates/force stop other applications besides the music app (I already tried those things on the music app.) Like Google services, framework, etc?
The top screenshot is the Nova launcher app drawer /widget section, the bottom is the stock launcher app drawer/widget section.

One more thing, I noticed when I go into landscape that on the stock launcher widget section, the play music widget changes from 3x1 to 4x2, and you can see the way it is. Did I do something wrong or is this hot not working correctly?
How do I fix this!?

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.

Turn on your wifi maybe you dont have internet access.

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).

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...
Just installed lollipop and widgets have gone. Is their a different lock screen app that puts them back else I'm back to kitkat. Its literally a feature i use continuously on my phone. Can anyone help me out or point me onto what setting I'm missing.
Thanks

Lockscreen widgets are gone in favour of notifications in Lollipop. You can't have lockscreen widgets without a third party lockscreen app or going back to kitkat.
