Same here, if you set your device in for example Spanish or German it works. I live in Belgium and Dutch is not working.
I have send email to flipboard, no answer. Samsung remote session, they said send it in for service. It's a bug, simple as that.

problem after 2 weeks solved
Hi there, the problem with no content for the magazinel ux widget is not a technical problem. I have solved it by entering the flipboard settings of the normal app. There i have seen that the magazine was set to english magazines (i dont know why it has choosen this option) i have also set all values to original settings and have deleted the cache.

It is in fact a technical problem. There is no language issue in either the Magazine UX nor the Flipboard app for me, and several problems with the Magazine UX (YouTube won't work, Here & Now won't work)
Several Factory resets, checking all the settings, etc doesn't solve the problem.

[Q] Froyo - Official ROM - People widget does not remember default action

Hi,
I have updated my unrooted stock ROM to the new 2.2 stock Froyo this weekend (by using the normal system refresh).
I have done a factory reset after upgrading the operating system.
Everything works but the "People widget". If I click someone it asks for the default action. For example I select "call mobile". After the call the small mobile icon appears for the contact (indicating the default action), but if I select another contact and add a default action again, the default action for the first contact disappears... It asks again for default action when I click on the contact.
I have:
-Removed and re-added the people widget from the desktop
-Removed and re added the group (the people widget use)
-Created a new group and added people manually by using the "+" sign of people widget
...none of the above worked.
Please help me what to do.
Thank you for your help in advance,
Andrew
Do you have any idea why people widget acts like this?
Anyone? Any Idea? Suggestions?
Resolution
I was having the same issue, but I believe I was able to resolve it. When I logged into Gmail from my desktop pc, I noticed a contacts group called "Starred in Android". I added everyone who's listed in my widget to this group, and that seemed to do the trick. At that point I simply had to set the default action for each contact once, and now my phone remembers it
(BTW, I'm not sure this is Froyo-specific, as I seem to recall the same problem before I upgraded).
~jared
HTC Evo, Froyo build 3.26.651.6
The suggested "Starred in Android" fixed my problem.
Thank You for the Solution. It definitely was an annoying problem.

Problem with the Google Feed Widget

Hello everybody,
since a few weeks my Google Feed Widget just shows me:
Looking for weather, calender, and other updates?
Install the new At-a-Glance widget. LERN MORE
My problem is that i dont have the At-a-Glance widget.
The "Lern More" hyperlink brings me to a Google Help website wich just says that i already have the at-a-glance widget and i have just to place it.
But i dont have the Widget.
Someone here who knows how to fix this issue?
It's a Google App widget.

Sure i did. I have just 4 widgets, Searchbar, Feed and 2x Sound Searchbar.
Try cleaning data for Google App, or use different launcher.l am on Nova Launcher. I guess Google dropped support for Feed as I don't have it anymore. It's need replaced with At a glance on my phone.

Ive updated my OnePlus Launcher 2.5.0 with an apk from APK Mirror to v.2.5.1. and now i have the At a Glance Widget
Unfortunately, the widget always shows me my calendar when I click it, I would much rather see my news as with the "feed" widget. Can you change that?

Nova Launcher, Google Keep and other widgets not working properly

Hi, I got a problem with my Redmi phone.
I set up Nova Launcher and I am using several widgets. Some of them work without any problems, but Google Keep Widget and Event Flow Calendar widget gets deleted after one or two days. So basically, every second day, I need to set up it again. That's annoying.
Does anybody know this issue and has a solution? Should I go back to the standard launcher?
Cheers,
Sven
I've got the same issue -- was using Nova - using Evie now, and have the same issue...
Well, good to know. But I don't understand why this is happening. Makes no sense to me. Did you try with the original / standard launcher?

Rights problem, add Android background capabilities to your app
Update: I changed back to standard/system launcher, added the widgets and they disappeared after 2 days. One of the widgets was Google Keep, the other one event flow calendar and Google Calendar. When I started Google Keep from the app, the widget came back. I just had to choose my Google Account again. But it works.
Is there anybody out there who found a solution for this issue? Looks like it loses the connection to the app or something.

Hello i had the same problem. Because i have install almost my apk direct from my backup (file explorer) and many widget (agenda business, digical, aquamail dont working). I have reinstall from Play Store and problem solved... And Nova Launcher working now... (just problem accessibility if you use gesture).
The thing is that I did not backup anything. I did a fresh install from Google Play. Nova launcher actually worked, also the gesture. But not the widgets. But as I said, they disappear even with the system launcher.
So it is not related to Nova Launcher I guess.
I did not find a nice solution so far. Just the one I described, but it is rather a compromise instead of a solution. Damn Xiaomi

tried the standard launcher and from what I can tell, it didn't affect the widgets. which sucks as the standard launcher is weak sauce.
I gave the app of the widgets that didn't work in Nova Launcher all permissions, and they worked after that.

Having issues setting default app

Just got the phone a few days ago, very happy with it so far. However, I'm having issues setting default app for reddit (tried both RIF and Boost). Attempting to open a reddit.com link from a Google search and then tapping on "Set to Always Open" does nothing. It sends me to the "Open by default" setting page and all I see there is "No defaults set." It's fine if I set Chrome or Firefox as the default app, but I think the problem is that opening the reddit.com link isn't being recognized as a reddit link, but a google.com link.
Anyone experienced anything similar?
Ditto

I see the same thing too. Not just with Reddit but other things too where I try to set a default and it just doesn't get saved/accepted by the phone .
It took me forever to set up Nova as my launcher
Go to apps, then his the 3 for menu and select default apps. All changes must be done here , Nova would not stick when selecting from the Nova menu. See if that works
Awesome...

Awesome, that's what you are sir. Another annoying thing hopefully you have the solution for, the Notifications... Instead of the temperature, it shows the app icon so goes for the other apps such as instead of email nos. , it shows app icons, I mean what the bloody hell? Their hardware engineers managed to put a fan inside the damn thing but their ****ty software department sucks donkey balls. Any solution for that?

Question Widgets causing pixel launcher to crash

Since updating to the June build the pixel launcher crashes every time I press on a widget. I've tried deleting the widget and readding it and clearing the cache in pixel launcher. I haven't cleared data yet because I think that will lose all of my home screen setup. Is anyone else experiencing this or know how to fix it?
Updates/upgrades can and do break things.
Try -if- possible updating the app.
No easy fix if the app is no longer compatible with the firmware though and hasn't been updated.
Try clearing the data, reinstalling said apps.
Or simply don't use them for the time being.
If another app like Google play Services is used by the problem widget, dependencies, clear it's data.
A factory reset may solve the issue but don't count on it...
My stock N10+ firmware hasn't been updated in 2.5 years, current load is 2 yo, still fast, stable and fulfilling its mission. Security is not an issue. However resolving app updates issues has cost me more wasted time then anything else. All were resolved without a factory reset... easier said than done
Google makes changes for the sake of change alone. All too often not in the end users best interests. Just because you're busy doesn't mean your productive... Gookill.
I just temporarily switched from Nova Launcher Prime to the Pixel Launcher on the June update and clicked on the At a Glance widget, and it loaded the weather fine.
I hope you find an easy solution.
Using any Magisk Modules? If so, disable them, reboot, and try again.
I'll give that a shot. Widgets that open an app work fine but the ones that do an action like pressing play on my Audible widget cause it to crash. I only have some basic magisk modules but I will try disabling them and see if it helps. Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm not rooted or nothing and just applied clock wiget to pixel launcher nland opened it worked fine for me no crash must be a magic mod that's efecting you
I confirm here that this is indeed a problem with the new June security patch.
Here are some widgets I found that have this problem (crashes Pixel Launcher when tapped)
1. Galaxy Buds Manager
2. Habits (blue reload icon) with it's checkbox widget (you must create a habit and select it to reproduce)
3. All Google Fit widgets
In fact most widgets I tried worked, but there are those which crashes every single time you tap on it.
Not sure what is going on.

Maybe try the Habit app too, I have confirmed with another person and it does crash.
Have to create a habit and then add it to the home screen.

You have to create one first in the app and then add the widget
Ok ill give it another go
As can see no crash for me
Uh couldn't upload so done this way no crash for me
I can open the app with any widget but it crashes when the widget has to do something. For example my audible widget will open the app but clicking the play button causes a crash. The same thing happens with Google calendar and my Authy widget.

Sometimes or even often if a simple copy/paste of an image to a post doesn't work, you can download your image to a file, click the Insert image button in the post, click where it says click here, add the image as an attachment, then from the successful attachment you can choose whether to insert the full image or a thumbnail into the post. This works for me almost all the time that pasting directly into the post fails.
So, sounding like the widget problem is with the Pixel Launcher.
Thank you I was using mobile and didn't see the insert or attach file
hi, any solution for this? other than installing other launcher
this is the crash log that i received
