[Q] Widget problems - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having problems with stock widgets - World Clock and the Weather widget, specifically. The location settings keep randomly resetting and sometimes the widgets disappear completely. My brightness settings also seem to reset after a reboot.
I've only had the phone a few days so it's still un-rooted stock EUR D802.
Any suggestions on what's causing these problems and how to fix it? Thanks.

Problem with weather download

The weather always updated automatically in the set interval.
Now I have the problem, that it is not updated in the background by itself anymore, but only when going to the weather-tab.
I did not really change anything on the device, but activating stocks-update.
Now I deactivated stocks again completly...
Can anyone help, how to restore the weather update in the background again?

weather widget issue

Hi everyone.
I've got this problem after upgrading to 2.2. The thing is that, when set to "current location" my weather widget doesn't give me the name of my town but just says "current location". The weather conditions are exactly the same as ones that I would get if I added my town manually, it just can't show the name.
I tried almost everything I could, removing and re-adding clock and weather widgets, turning off and on gps and/or wireless, clearing cache for widgets, soft resetting the phone, but nothing worked. When I remove the clock from the main screen and re-add it again it knows somehow where my "home" is, but it won't work for the weaher.
I tried some other widgets (beautiful widgets, animated weather...) and they could recognize my true location with no problems. Maps and Latitude apps both locate me very precisely. iGo does that too.
Everything worked well before the upgrade so I am thinking about reverting it to v2.1 somehow but I am afraid that I could do something wrong, plus I'm not sure if that'd solve anything.
I'd be very grateful to anyone who tries to help

weather widget problem

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.

[SOLVED][Q] Lockscreen widgets disappear every other time

I am on the official CM10.1 RC2. I didn't flash anything else other than a fix for Wi-Fi ARP when in sleep mode, as well as an older radio to enable LTE.
What has been going on every since I flashed my first CM10.1 nightly (got the phone on May 2) is that every other time I wake the phone, the lockscreen widgets disappear.
This is a 100% predictable and totally consistent pattern. If I wake the phone and my lockscreen widgets are visible, then the next time I lock the phone and wake it, the lockscreen widgets disappear. If I wake the phone and my lockscreen widgets are missing, I can guarantee they'll come back if I immediately lock and wake it again.
I know it's not an Android 4.2 problem, because my sister's HTC One S doesn't have this issue and it's set up the same way.
To illustrate what I mean, these are the two states my lockscreen always alternates between:
Been trying to find an answer for this... maybe I'm not using the right keywords :/
EDIT: SOLVED - Turns out Lockscreen Policy was the culprit. I disabled both widgets and camera and that was causing cLock to disappear every other time. Allowing widgets while disabling the camera eliminated the problem. Hope this helps others in the future!
Make sure you don't have two lockscreen clocks. If so, delete one.

I don't think I have two clocks. All I can find in the settings is the "Clock widget" in the Lock screen section which is what I want to use.
Any idea where I might have accidentally placed a second clock if that's the case? I didn't download any clock or calendar apps - I use the stock ones. I did restore a lot of stuff from Titanium backup on my old phone, but I clearly remember that system settings wasn't something I restored.
edit: I checked Titanium Backup and noticed that the "Clock" app (not the cLock app/widget) had been restored from my previous phone which ran CM10, not CM10.1. I remember that on CM10, the clock was right-justified, not centered, and that is what my 2nd screenshot (the scenario I want to get rid of) is showing.
Is it possible that I inadvertently restored the CM10 lockscreen clock from my old phone? I hope that doesn't mean having to wipe. I really can't find anything in the settings that might indicate the presence of more than one clock.
EDIT: SOLVED! It turns out that the Lockscreen Policy app was the culprit. I had disabled both widgets and the camera in Lockscreen Policy because I don't want people messing with my phone as a joke (otherwise what's the point of a PIN...). Re-enabling the widgets while keeping camera disabled solved everything. I confirmed that disabling widgets in Lockscreen Policy would immediately bring back this problem.
Tbh, I'd prefer having the old CM10 lockscreen, without those side widgets or the camera, and the ability to slide to a ring shortcut before bringing up the PIN

[Q] Frozen widgtes and floating navigation bar

I have met a problem that my G2 usually get frozen widgets even i restart my phone or change my theme or reinstall my rom, the widgets will stop after few minutes. The widgets still can press but no light will turn on or change after I pressed it.
In addition, after I have flashed my cwm and install g3 notification panel, my navigation bar kept floating and I have no idea how to make it steady.
Can anyone advise me how to fix that problem? Thank you very much.
