I'm having a weird issue. Whenever I choose a wallpaper from the galleryfor my lockscreen, it no longer sticks and defaults to a previous wallpaper from the gallery that I applied before. The only change that I've made was flashing the aosp notifcation bar. I went into the storage and noticed I have No Media files, thinking they could have been the issue, but still no luck after erasing them. I've deleted the wallpaper that was there, and then wiped my caches to see if that would have worked, but still no luck. Have any of you ran into this issue?

Since I updated to 3.29.651.5, the Sense widgets (Friendstream, Calendar, Bookmarks etc) have a strange problem where there is a static translucent image of the widget text/picture/calendar and then when I scroll down the text scrolls normally but the translucent image of the original text stays put. It's kind of hard to describe... Basically the widget looks and behaves normally except there is a translucent static image of the text (or images or calendar) behind it. What could be causing this? Any ideas of how to fix this?
I have a rooted, (mostly) stock EVO that I just updated to 3.29.651.5. I used the method (described here and at androidcentral) of manually downloading the stock update, rebooting into ClockworkMod recovery and loading it from there, and then used unrevoked to re-root the phone. I've been able to use all my root apps since then with no problems.
mine did this too then i realized there where two widgets on top of each other.
You're exactly right! In fact all of the icons are doubled as well as the widgets. I just manually deleted the entire top "layer" of my icons and widgets. Problem solved but i'm still baffled....
Could this be a problem with Titanium Backup? I had to use it to restore some system data since I reverted to a week old nandroid backup to resolve an error while applying the new update.

this initially happened with the gosms widget where it doesnt refresh everytime i get a new sms. i reinstalled gosms and it still had the problem. and now even the clock widget of sonyericsson and the other widgets likr goweather, the date widget doesnt refresh anymore. how do i go about this? are you also having the same problem?
How about Timescape? You can use it to see the messages
I don't use timescape. It's not too private.
Anyway, it's not the issue though.
Even the clock widget (stock SE's digital clock) sometimes don't refresh with the time showed in the status bar. Even the weather widget etc.

ever since the 2.3.3 update ive had the same issue, particularly with the clock. its always out of sync. tried stopping home, reloading the widgets etc, nothing seems to work and its completely random
I'm still with 2.3.2.
I tried using GoLauncherEx and so far they are working fine. But it still happens.
I have noticed that the widgets don't refresh when I'm using the default SE home..
Can someone help me with this?
I've discovered this to be a reproducible (but not solvable) problem. This might be an Android prob, as there are one or two other short threads on this site for other phones. For me it looks like the common thread is an incoming call while using an app. But fixing it... who knows?
I have been able to reproduce it three times:
1. after a week using my Arc, a new clock widget stopped 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 widgets 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 show the same problem.
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..
Fix launcher lag
This method worked on my SE Arc S (.42). You need to have root access.
1) Open the following file: /system/build.prop
2) Add this to the end of the file and save it: ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
3) Reboot.
Hope it helps.
I'm currently running the starskyrom with the EI22 modem and have go launcher installed but for some reason it will occasionally overlap widgets like calender and beautiful widgets. Never happened before.. Anybody have an Idea why this is happening?
I tried uninstalling golauncher and re-installing but same thing happens.
Go launcher includes options for tighter grids. Native 4x4 shouldn't allow overlaps.
There is an autofit option under Preferences->Screen Settings-> Auto-fit items.
Between those 2 settings, you should be able to stop the overlap.

I tried that but its weird cause it will merge widget from other pages and duplicate them on another while overlapping at the same time lol
Had something similar where the corner of the weather widget was showing in place of a widget on another page. I'm guessing you did it already, but delete and re add widget to the screen.

yeah tried that already.. Weird cause all the setting were the same coming from MIUI and I never had an issue with it.
Any solution to this? I'm suddenly having this problem. I first noticed it while trying another rom and uninstalled believing the rom to be in error. I went back to my staple rom and I'm having the same problem. I deleted Go Launcher Ex folder from SD, uninstalled and reinstalled..problem persists.
I installed several pictures from my photos folder as wallpapers that I want to get rid of now (they look awful as backgrounds). How do I delete them from the wallpaper choices if the device is unrooted? I know that deleting the source files won't work, as copies are stored somewhere for wallpaper. I thought I could go to settings/applications/all/Wallpaper Picker and clear data or clear cache (not sure of the difference). Will that do it? Or is there some other way?
Superzen rom.
I can change all my wallpapers and but when I have it set to auto update it will not change until I manually change it.
Ive uninstalled/reinstalled, moved to phone storage and sd card, set wallpapers in zedge, zedge widget updates when I refresh. But it just wont auto update consistently. Looking for ideas and thoughts.
I dont have anything else installed that controls wallpapers directly that I know of. Searching online and no one else seems to have this issue.
Fixed. Thanks for the help!.......
For anyone else who has issues like this OR issues with some apps in general not working correctly try theses steps first.
Cant find your apps widget- Go to settings, apps, and find your app. Make sure the app is local storage (should read "Move to external storage")
App not starting OR not performing correctly- Make sure you have the app enabled to start up on boot from the auto start manager app.
These two things fixed every issue I was having with the device.
