I'm running stock 4.0.2 and tried to install some apps with widgets. Problem is, the widgets don't show up under the widget slider.
I thought first it could be a problem that the widgets install automatic to 'sd card' and not phone memory, but couldn't find any option to move in the app info dialog, so maybe it's something different.
In the market comments there are clearly people who got it working on a galaxy nexus, so it must be something with my device?
Examples: Android Weather, World Weather Clock Widget
Any advice? Thanks!

This may not be very useful, but I had a similar issue with a widget. I uninstalled the app and re-installed from the market and then it appeared.
I tried deinstall/reinstall many times, but it didn't help.
But got it working now, a simple reboot did the trick. Ouch!
Maybe it had to do with the Market updating itself to Google Playground, didn't reboot since then.
Anyway, it's solved now. Thanks for trying to help!

Hi everyone,
Got a bit confused now. I've installed some apps from the market and when I go to "My apps" I see a list of installed apps.
The problem is, their status is set as their price tag, like 'free', but not as 'installed' as it should be.
Those apps are still on my phone and they do run, but in this case I don't know if there's an update are not.
Is there a way to fix this, please?
I hope someone has a clue.

Have you tried to restart your phone?
My gf got the IC2 after demoing my S. She loved it at first but after the recent OTA update she noticed that the clock widget is no longer available.
I know it's not really a big deal but thats the only convenient way to access the alarm clock.
Anyone know a way around this? And the clock apps on market isnt good as stock.
I also thought of somehow transferring my clock widget apk but I have no clue of how to do this
I appreciate any and all help!

From what I've week a factory reset
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA Premium App
yup Factory reset is the only way to correct the issue. I've had to do it twice already within a 3 week period since the update to GB. I emailed HTC and all they could say was they know about it and they dont know when there will be a fix.
So for now Im using Beautiful Widgets and Alarm Clock Plus on my Phone
I took the gingerbread update and my clock still works fine. I did have to hunt it down though, I assumed it was an App but I found it under Widgets.
It used to be an app on Sense 1.0, I know that.
Did you check all the .apks in settings under manage applications? If its in there force stop it, clear data, cache & possibly uninstall update then uninstall before reset if not reset should do the job.. good luck

This issue is being discussed here, here, and here if anyone is interested in following.
For those that don't want to read all the posts (I don't blame you) here is the jist:
- Factory reset seems to fix it for most, but the issue comes back after a few days/weeks
- Some people have had luck getting the default clock app to reappear after installing another clock app from the market
- Most have checked the clock apps settings and found it is greyed out in the list of installed apps and is listed as 0kb
- Verizon seems to be passing people along to HTC who admits they know about the issue but don't know what will fix it or when they will have a fix (outside of the recommended factory reset)
Hi guys, I'm using the Sound Search widget (Google Ears) outside US so I have to defrost it in Titanium Backup every after reboot. I also noticed that the app automatically gets frozen over time so I have to remove the widget, defrost in TiBU and add the widget to the homescreen to make it work again. I just want to ask if there's a way to stop it from being frozen over time? Is there a specific background app that locks it back again? Its fine to do the steps above everytime I reboot the phone. I just want to know if there's a way to stop it from being frozen again until I reboot my phone. Thanks.
Google Play Music has been launched in the UK and yet it still freezes the sound search widget. Is there a way of defrosting permanently?
EDIT: Running GNex 4.2 stock rooted semi-deodexed, stock kernel
I noticed that the sound search widget now remains defrosted when I upgraded to 4.2.1. Check yours if it does the same.
Can somebody post the apk for Google ears?

I was using the one from the link below before I upgraded 4.2.1 ->

i have the same problem from italy. did you find a way to fix it?
upgrade to 4.2.1 don't resolve for me.
If you guys are rooted, using Package Enabler would activate it even if you do a reboot.

Updated Google Now today, and I have a few bugs.
The worst bug: When I tap on the menu key, the menu only quickly flashes.
I cannot get a card back if I accidentally swipe it away.
I cannot remove a stock from the stock card.
The vioce search is not working.
Also, although not a bug, the widget design looks too simplistic, displays minimal info (guess Google wants us to come inside), takes up only 4x3 space as a 4x4 widget. If I shrink it down to 4x3, then it will take 4x2 space, and so on. Drives me nuts.
As their flagship app, I am surprised at the low quality of this major update.
Anyone else care to share their feedback?
Maybe uninstall and re-install? Maybe try a reboot? I'm on rooted bone stock and it works fine.. I think as more cards come up the widget will use more space hence the large 4x4 space required .. Voice search working fine as well as the menu key long press
Thanks for the input. I am on stock rom and have rebooted to make sure I have a clean start. I will try un install and reinstall.

After you use long press to enter Google now, could you tap on menu again and see what happens? Mine will only flash the menu. Definitely a bug.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled it. Still the same bugs. I have also seen the same complaints in the play store now.
I finally had to uninstall the update and everything is fine again. Saw a lot of similar complaints on Google play. Can't believe this comes from Google and their flagship app.

Yea.. You're right.. Once in GN the menu is borked..
Yes, my menu button in Google Now is not working either, just to confirm and complain. WTF. Such an obvious mishap. I have not seen other phones complain about it though.
my google now is working as it was before as far as i can tell. I do a long press on the menu button on the 'button' next to the home key or long press on the google search bar to bring me into google now. Then I press the menu key which brings me to settings page
The settings page has the Google Now at the top, then voice, then phone search, then privacy and accounts. Everything works fine running cleanrom 4.0.5
My menu also flashes and then goes away.

The only work around is clicking the weather card in Google now and pressing settings. It doesn't flash then.

Same thing happening on my rooted note 2.
On Google Play it looks like most of the issues with the menu key are from GN2 users, except one report from a S3 Mini user.
The other major complaint is that the weather hourly slider is gone after the update.
And the widget sizing problem is popular too.
I cleared data in app settings menu for Google search and all is well.

There is another thread on xda where someone with the HTC sensation is having the same issue. I have a friend with the international note 2. He said he had the issue first couple tries and then it fixed itself. I tried cleaning data, uninstalling and using a themed Google now apk and nothing works. I'm rooted on clean ROM ace 4.0.5

Same problem on my stock sprint note 2.
Where's the fix?
Same bug here (stock unrooted). Clearing cache/data doesn't help. Visiting the weather card does work around the bug.
I just updated my YouTube app and noticed it removed the YouTube widget. Anyone else notice this?
Gone!
Yes, same here. YouTube Widget is gone on my Nexus 5 running stock 4.4.4. It's not even listed in the list of widgets anymore.
@Maris_ just updated the app on my phone to check and yeah your right it has vanished.
I ain't ganna update my Tablet Youtube App until they fix that. I dont get what they get by getting rid of it - Stupid decision.
Same here. I've been looking for a solution on Google but no luck...

BTW for everyone wondering whats happened ... @ChuckeeDroid @Maris_
I found out that Google have removed the Widget for the foreseable future. Reason behind it was Google claim less than 1% of youtube hits were via the widget so they have decided to get rid of it completley with no intention of returning it. Shame.
[No Widget] , Uninstall updates in settings/apps/YouTube or here is last version apk.
Guys, everybody who wants the widget back can do this 2 ways..
1. Go to settings, then app manager or applications, then click YouTube, then click uninstall updates.... Voila, you will get an older version of YouTube with the widget for your home screen.
2. If you want a more recent version, here is the apk. ver. 5.9.0.10
I attached it here, just make sure in developer settings, third party apps is checked off.. hope this helps..... Im using it.
