[Q] Widgets not in list. - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Here is my problem:
When I install a new app the widget is not in list until I reboot the tab. Been like that for every apps with widget I installed.
The apps are all on internal storage.
The tab is less than a week old.
T800
100% stock.
Looked all over the place for similar problem but found no info on this.
Thanks.

[help] Widgets are not refreshing

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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.

[Q] Google Search widget is gone

Hi, so I got this little problem, not a big deal but my Google Search Widget disapeared, recently I have rooted my phone, I was moving my apps to SD card, becouse I only had ~50MBs left. I moved all main apps like maps and flash, then I have re-installed them from Android Market so now everything is on SD Card.
And so I have installed Google Search too, but now widget is gone, app is OK but there's no widget, any solution to get it back on my homescreen?
Thank you!

[Q] Photos and videos widget problem

Hey guys. I bought my Xperia Arc S a couple of months ago and It had the GB OS, I decided to upgrade it to the ICS with SUS and have been enjoying it for 4 weeks now, It even kept my old desktop widgets, config, preferences and everything. The problem I have is that yesterday I deleted my old photos and videos widget (the one that lets you scroll through all of your pictures on your desktop) and I found that there's a very simillar widget in the ICS version, however, on GB it was 2x2 and now it is 4x2 and it's really wasting so much space. visually, it has room for two 1x1 widgets on each side, that's how I used to have it, but now there is just an empty space on each side, I tried nova launcher but it won't let me use the photo and pictures widget, Is there any way I can get my old GB widget back or resize the ICS one? Thanks a lot for your help.
Bump.
Also annoyed about this... Any solution? Don't want to download more apps that consumes my storage.
It must be in there somewhere as it (2x2) was present after the upgrade, but now can't get it back (only 4x2) after I accidentally removed it.

Unfortunately stock Sony Widget cannot be used on alternative launcher and yes, .............. it's really annoying
I didn't found any solution, I've asked around , but the default answer is :"Play Store it's full of widgets"

[Q] widgets doesn't shown anywhere

Hi guys.I have this issue. I was about to install a widget on my home screen, and after I've installed one, I see it nowhere. I mean play store said it is successfully installed, but all I see is a uninstall button, and There's no sign of the new widget in the quick widget menu nor the drawer... ive cleaned the system bloatware once, and I was thinking maybe I've deleted something that has to do with it somehow.
Any chances html viewer system app is the one?
And just got a weird thought. I've installed a firewall today and I have the apps widget installed on my home system... how the..
Additional taught... maybe the dpi change to 540 is interrupted with the widgets? If it is, how to fix it?
Help?

Zedge wallpaper not updating, ideas?

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.
