Was there an update or something? Because all of a sudden the widget completely destroys my battery and FPS when scrolling on the Google Now Launcher. I got rid of it and now everything works fine. Im on stock no root and have factory reset like 5 times until i figured out it was the widget.
Edit* To replicate, try using the G Now 4x4 widget using the Gnow Launcher and try scrolling on the launcher.
Yes - I'm having the same sort of problem on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 following an update yesterday (25th Feb). If I have the 4x4 widget installed in Nova Launcher, then it crashes and lags like crazy. If I remove the widget, then it's all fine.
Will just have to hope that Google become aware of the problem, and fix it quickly.
Cheers,
Steve.
Same problems here. Nexus 6P with Nova launcher too. I had to uninstall updates to the Google app, then update to a version from a few days ago (5.9.33.19), and now all is good again (including widget). Hope an update fixes the issues soon.
Im gonna guess that this only effects people who are beta testing the Google app.
Actually I was getting some lag I thought was from Nova Launcher. Also the C-SPAN App was stuttering if it was not in the foreground. I deleted the widget and everything is back to normal.
i think i was getting the same problem too. phone was laggy and also google now was draining my battery big time

Yesterday i turned on my iconia and all the Widgets were gone off the home screens. The app shortcuts were still there but no Widgets. Also noticed my YouTube widget is a 1x4 now and looks funky. Anybody else have this issue? Is it the iconia or honeycomb?
YES
I thought it was just me, but everything came up "problem loading widget."
I am using ADW launcher EX and just blamed it on that. What about you?
I lost mine when I did the upgrade, but no issues since.
I am having issues where the widgets disappear and a 'Loading' message appears; the only way to fix it is to do a reboot.
I'm using the stock launcher. I didn't even have a loading message. Widgets just disappeared. Tried rebooting several times but that didnt work. I ended up reinstalling all the widgets yesterday and everything seems to be alright now. Also my YouTube widget is back to a 3x2 so that's good. I dunno seems like a honeycomb bug or something.
I had the same problem.
Suddenly the widgets were gone, each of them replaced by a grey icon saying "error loading widget".
Rebooting several times didn't fix that.
I use adw es too and i noticed that if i switched to the stock launcher the widget worked but returning again to adw they were still missing.
I had to remove the widgets and reload them.
I think it' related to Adw.
Sorry for my poor english.
I've had the issue as well. When I added the Music (official Google app) icon to the home screen they all reappeared. Likely just adding any icon to the home screen will bring them back up.

Problem loading widget is an ADW error, likely. I've had it before, usually if I do a wipe then restore my desktop settings via ADW and the widget isn't available.
Now, with know that error is due to the widget not being found, it definitely appears like the Iconia is for some reason not loading the widget, like it can't find them in the system or something. Hope this one gets addressed.
Hi.
I noticed that my Fancy Widget and other clock-widgets doesnt update anymore when i open apps, documents or other services. Example:
Clock shows 19:21, Widgets shows 19:21. As long as my phone stays on one of the 5 homescreens, the time updates as usual. But when i open an app (browser, mail, gallery, or any other app) or game and return to my homescreen i can see the time didnt update since i opened the app or game. Lets say i open my browser 19:22, i visit some websites, and switch back to my homescreen 5 minutes later (19:27), the widget didnt update the time within these 5 minutes. When i stay on the homescreen and wait for next minute, the widget updates the time correct.
Whats wrong?
I dont have any task-killers installed. I have 2.3.3 rooted. I didnt remove any bloatware.
I take it you haven't moved the app to the SD either?
What app you mean? Widgets cant be moved to SD, because they wont work when placed on SD.
Are you using SE launcher or a 3rd party one? Try installing https://market.android.com/details?id=com.th.android.widget.gTabsimiClock&feature=search_result and see if its the same. I am using that clock/weather/battery widget with no problems.
I am using SE Launcher again. I used ADW Launcher EX, but got to many errors, so i went back to my stock SE Launcher.
Edit: I tried simiClock, it happens too. It doesnt matter what clock-widget i am using. It doesnt refresh/update when apps/games are running and i switch back to the homescreen.
Most clocks do not update if you have moved them to the SD card.
Make sure it is installed on the phone.
My stock weather widget never updates the location in the background, only when launching it manually will it update on the home screen.
@dsswoosh
As i posted just before....clocks/widgets dont work at all when moved to SD. I install all my widgets on the phone!!

You mean Go launcher ex? try launcher pro, i have tried Go launcher ex, Adw and launcher pro and cannot seem to replicate the problems you are describing, also not had any errors or force closes on any. Do the clock widgets that come with SE launcher do the same? or just 3rd party clock widgets you install? If the stock clocks dont work then maybe reinstalling the fw will fix it.
I tried ADW Launcher EX again (yes, its ADW EX ). Time updates in the background as it should. It seems that its only an SE-Launcher issue. Can someone try?
Maybe it is always like this and i never noticed this before while using the stock SE Launcher?! I think i can live with it, but maybe there is a way to fix it without using a different launcher?

Indeed your right its ADW Launcher EX ive always just called it adw. Well using the stock SE launcher my clock widgets update in the background so im guessing its a problem with your SE launcher. Possibly reinstalling the fw will fix the SE launchers bug? Worth a try i suppose.
I've been experiencing this on my Xperia Arc too. It has nothing to do with launchers or task killers in my case (I use neither). I have been able to reproduce it three times:
1. after a week using my Arc, I noticed a new clock widget wasn't updating except when foregrounded, and not until the next minute ticked over. I also noticed a weather widget wouldn't update reliably.
2. after two months without a solution, i completely reset the phone. All good. While playing a game, I received a call. Afterwards, the above widget types wouldn't refresh except as above.
I deleted an unrelated widget because I didn't need it, and (perhaps coincidentally) the other widgets started refreshing properly.
3. a week later, I received a call while using the calendar app. Widgets no longer refresh, except as above. I haven't been able to find a fix this time. Tested widgets like the stock digital clock shows the same problem.
So for me it looks like the common thread is an incoming call while using an app. I would guess this must be happening to a few other people, as it's the same symptoms as the OP described.
If u hav installed beautiful widgets then..
Well after lots of trial and error.. the only solution i found is..
1. uninstall beautiful widgets animation
2. clear data beautiful widgets from settings - apps - beautiful widgets
3. uninstall beautiful widgets..
Living without beautiful widgets is better than facing that refresh problem..
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.

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...
I have latest 20G update on my D802. I'm using stock LG launcher. Lately, I get quick launcher redraw, afte unlocking my phone. Weather widget and couple of icons redraw with a "blink". Is there any solution to this? Anybody else expiriencing the same issue?
If the entire launcher is redrawing then it might be getting kicked out of memory. Some 3rd party launchers have an option to remain in memory, can you try one of those and tell me whether those launchers also redraw.

I tried Nova launcher and it doesn't redraw, but transition animations are choppy (micro stutters, but they are smooth when using live wallpaper), so I decided to stick with stock launcher. As I said, it's not that entire launcher is redrawing, but two folders and 4x1 default weather widget.
I have never used stock kk, so it could be an issue with the update. Try clearing cache/data for the LG apps via settings, Apps->All.

I had the same problem on 20d. Got tired of it and I use apex now. It never redraws and animation is smoother. Free ram is also much more with apex.
Too bad cuz i liked stock lg launcher.

Yesterday, I made a factory data reset, after updating to 20H firmware on my D802. Still, this launcher redraw issue is present and it's really bothering me. If I have to do something on the fly and just after unlocking my phone, this redraw happens and whole interface stutters for second or two.
Same here since 20G... Happy to see that I'm not alone... Again a buggy update...
Having the same issue with 20c, nothing changed after a couple of flashes as well.
Been using the stock launcher for 1 year and it always redraw. Finally installed Nova last week and there is no more launcher redraw issue.
I guess I'm lucky; not a single redraw here, not even that one when switching from portrait to landscape (or vice versa). 20H.
I also had the same problem with stock LG launcher but I`ve read somewhere that the problem is gone when there is no folders on launcher.
I had 3 folders and when I removed them the problem is gone
Is anyone with the problem having folders on homescreen? If you do try to remove them and see what would happen
well, actualy folders and widget are indeed redrawing and I can confirm that I have folders...BUT I had some on previous rom I it worked flawlessly...
I just removed one folder that was on my home screen. Lets see if there will be some redrawing now.
Interesting, never thought about folders and redrawing. Got 3 of them tho. Plus 4 widgets (if we count clock). Still no issues, eh...

Never had any folders - still redraws every once in a while... Have 4 widgets though...
For the lag it seems that it occurs when I press home after switching from a band to another or from an antenna to another
Whell, last night I removed folder from the home screen and I still gor redraws, so it must be bad coding in LG Home launcher.
After KK update I've had launcher redraws even after killing all background apps, so I had them hundreds times every day. After updating to "H" release all redraws gone. Not any single redraw.
It is far better with 20h for sure but still having some lags
I have 20H firmware and redraws all the time. Even after factory reset.
Hi Everybody,
I'm stock unrooted and still waiting for the 6.0.1 update.
Starting yesterday, all of my widgets began just disappearing. I put them back, and and later in the day they're gone again. Three of them on two different home screens.
Anybody experience or heard about this?
I've been having this exact same issue I don't know why but I'll set up my widgets and then at what seems to random times usually days apart the widgets just disappear and I can't readd them to the home screen as they are no longer in the widget selector in the Google launcher. The only thing that fixes it is a reboot and then the widget appear in the selector again and I have set them up again. I'm on 6.0.1 and still getting this issue
Me too. I had the same issue after the 6.0.1 update.

Google Now Cards Disappearing Too?
I am experiencing the same phenomenon with my widgets randomly disappearing on my Nexus 6P running rooted but stock 6.0.1. I thought it might have had something to do with me having Gravity Box installed with Xposed Framework and enabling the "resize any widget" function.
Additionally, all of my Google Now cards disappear and won't reappear unless I disable cards and then reenable them. Anyone having issues with their cards disappearing as well?
Stock 6P on 6.01 and someone keeps swiping my widgets too! Sometimes it's just one other times it's a couple and others it's all of them.
Seriously anyone have any insight into this??
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Any update, anyone? This is driving me crazy!
I did a factory data reset and thought this problem was fixed. But then it happened again shortly after I plugged into Android auto. Anyone else using Android auto? Maybe that is the (or a) trigger.
Sounds like a launcher issue to me. I have been using Nova launcher most of the time since I have had my 6P, and I have not experienced it. Sounds like a bug in Google Launcher. If you guys are using Google Launcher, switch to a different launcher, set it as your default, set your apps and widgets up, restart your phone. See if it happens any over the next couple days.
Downloaded Nova launcher and they haven't disappeared since and it's been a day. Fingers crossed. It was happening up to three times a day before.
Update: It is definitely the Google Now launcher causing the issue. It's been several days now and not one widget has disappeared since switching to Nova launcher.

Mine still unpredictably disappear. Sometimes I'll go weeks without incident, and then sometimes I'll have to replace them days in a row. Sometimes just one goes, sometimes all at once. However, without fail my Google Calendar agenda widget remains unaffected. It's always there. I actually switched to it from Event Flow because I don't have to worry about it disappearing, even though the Event Flow widget is way better.
Maybe N will fix this when it finally hits.
