[Q] Tasks running in background more than before. - myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am on CR_Mod_1.35.531_OTA and never had an issue with 15-30 tasks running in the background every so often. I recently bought Widget Locker and then downloaded some widget clocks and thought maybe that was the issue, so I uninstalled them all. I've always had Droid Wall and Task Killers, but this problem has just popped up since a couple of days ago. Could this be related to the Widget Locker lockscreen?
And tips on how to stop these apps from starting on their own? It's really annoying.
Also, these clock widgets I've downloaded always seemed mini and tiny on my phone. In pictures they were an acceptable size, like a normal clock app. Why have they shrunk on my phone? Widgets like D-Clock.
Thanks in advance.

Weather Widgets

So I have tried dang near every weather widget and ended up going back to weatherbug. Now what I have noticed is that after X amount of time, it stops updating. Same as every other weather widget. Now I'm running cm6 so could it be possible that froyo is system killing the widget? And is there a fix? Thanks!

[Q] Voicemail Widget Position?

Is anyone having a problem with the voicemail widget positioning on custom roms? I ask because no matter what rom I use, the voicemail widget alignment is off compared to other icons and widgets. By default it is much higher then the other shortcuts. If I try to adjust it, I can only get it much lower then the other icons.
Currently on Epic Experience 2.04
Latest Launcher Pro
Yea the only way I found to get it to line up is to add it to your screen as an application rather than widget. But for me , when I did that I didnt get the red # showing howmany VM'S I had.

I have been experiencing this quirk for a long time now. I'm surprised it has not been addressed. I have no clue what is causing it. It is not the rom and it is not Launcher Pro.

[Q] Couple questions: Android Weather Widget and Widget Spacing

ICS is driving me a little nuts... First the normal weather and news app cannot seem to find my location. It won't even find me if I manually put it in, city or zip code. Is this because I'm in the US or is this broken?
Second, is there any way I can fix the widget spacing? I put the news, a calendar widget and weather widget on my main page. No matter if they are HTC or Android, the spacing between the widgets is huge and looks terrible. Even adjusting the widget size leaves a huge amount of unusable space.
Appreciate any help!

I noticed the huge gap also in the widgets. I kept trying to move the Google Search widget under the clock and weather but wouldn't go close.
I am guessing this is how it is in ICS?
Anyone find a solution, or are we just the minor few that care?
Unfortunately, between this and the battery life I'm considering returning mine and sticking with my Note.
EDIT: The weather widget is still funky, but I went under settings and even though it wouldn't accept a manual location I used automatic then forced a refresh and it sometimes works.

Unfortunately, despite the large real estate the screen provides, the homescreens are still laid out in a 4x4 grid. So, no matter where you put it, it will still show a gap. Makes no sense, I know. They could've laid everything out in a 5x5 grid. Kinda wastin space. They coulda laid the Vivid out in. 5x4 grid, but they didn't. Sux to have wasted space like that.
You can use Nova or Apex launchers and go to as much as a 7 x 7 grid.

(Downloaded) widgets dissappear after reboot

Hello,
Last week I've installed the JB update.
Snce that day I've got a problem.
I'm using three widgets from the play store:
- smooth calendar
- gauge battery widget
- the widget from the google calendar app
The problem is that all these widgets dissapear after I reboot my phone, but the stock htc widgets are still there after a reboot.
Also, sometimes they won't respond when I touch them.
Some of these widgets are quite customized, so adding them everytime again is quite a waste of time.
I already did a factory reset and reinstalled the widgets, still, nothing helps...
My android version is 4.1.1 with sense 4+
Are there more people with the same problem?
Or does anyone know a solution?
Thanks
