[Q] My widgets are becoming unresponsive - Zooper Widget General

I have my phone setup something like this using zooper widgets:
https://i.imgur.com/3zKGS5K.png
Each icon is actually just an image with a link to open the app in the widget.
It has worked fine without problems for like, I dunno, 2 years i've had my phone and been using it like this?
But sometime in the past 3-4 months, the widgets have just started becoming unresponsive. I press an icon to launch an app and nothing happens.
I've tried re-creating every single app-link on each widget, I try restarting nova launcher, tweaking the nova launcher widget settings, nothing sems to work.
I can only restart my phone and then there's a 50/50 chance that they will work again as if nothing was wrong to begin with. But then an hour later, after doing nothing on my phone, they might just suddenly stop working again.
I'm at a loss to explain this, can anyone help? I just can't figure out why this is happening at all.

Are you using greenfy?

Nope.
And I made sure app-ops were default (disabled) for everything so it wasn't affecting zooper or anything, but no dice there either.

When I press home my apps dissapear for a while

This happens a lot. Is this normal? If so is it a ram issue with the phone? And is there anyway to improve that?
I haven't got around to permanently rooting my phone I have the stock OTA but if it can fix this somehow I will definitely do it. Thanks in advance

You mean when you press home your homescreen reloads and apps reappear in a few seconds? Seems normal as of now. Running CM6.1.0RC1 still happens. Haven't found anything to really fix this.
Root and overclock problem solved. Zoom zoom

Same here, when I overclock more than 1 g that problem seems to go away.
I used to have the same problem with the good old G1. Back then I thought it was because if not enough memory. Enabling "lock screen in memory" in launcherPro or AWD solved the problem. If you are not using them, run to the market and download one if them. No root needed

Yea I press the home button and my apps are invisible I guess and it last like 5 to 10 seconds and it happens a lot like every other time I press home.
Well in that case ill try to get around to rooting it.
launcherpro seemed to fix the problem so far thanks.

I'm overclocked at 1.1 and still always experience this problem. Also locked home app in memory in CM settings as well as enabled system persistent and still no fix for me. It's not bad, homescreen always came back. On my myTouch when this happened they'd sometimes just stay gone.

My myTouch stopped as soon as I enabled system persistent and enabled compcache.
Setting my mhz to the lowest number in the screen off setcpu profile seemed to take care of that problem for me, but it only happend to me when I was overclock to 1400+ and only when i unlocked the screen.

Odd performance on CM7

I've been using a CM 7 highly build for a week now and its been going great. However there are a few problems I hope you guys can help solve.
When I'm in an app, maybe sms or android market and I hit home, there is a long delay before I see the homescreen.
In some cases it can take up to 5 secs. It doesn't always do this but it usually does when I have been in an app for a while.
Another issue I have is the phone behaves oddly. It will forget what ringtone I've assigned and when the alarm goes off sometimes nothing will appear on screen.
But my main issue is the home screen lag. Any ideas?

I've found the default launcher with CW7 to lag (without heavy tweaking); I gave up on it a long time ago and use LauncherPro, which I find to be quicker. Try using a different launcher, if you're not sold on CM7s default.

Thank you. Just what I needed. So far the slowdown is gone and so is the lockscreen lag I experienced. Cheers.

I've always had that problem with adw. It's just not fast enough. Launcher pros is way smoother.

Experiencing touchwiz lag

Hey guys,
Is anyone else experiencing constant restarting of the TouchWiz launcher? It always seems to happen whenever I leave an app to go the main screen the launcher always seem to restart itself. Is there something in the settings I'm missing? I happened to like this launcher a lot, just the restarting drives me crazy lol :laugh:. It's never like a smooth transition from app to home screen. Thanks guys
Try in developers options changing windows animation scale and transition animation scale to .5 or even off.

I did changed the windows animations scale, but is still doing it. My guess is a launcher issue.

I was running stock, but I decided to factory reset and I believe that might've fixed the constant launcher refreshing. So far is running smoother now. Weird

reinstall apps one by one, and see what happens. It could be an app messing with it

never had that happen.. full wipe and reset or flash another rom.

Yeah that is exactly what I did and the phone is running much better than before. It was just so annoying because I just got this phone like days ago and I wasn't really expecting something like this from one of the best phones in the market right now. I believe it all started when I restored all my apps when I first logged into the phone.

Did you restore any system apps?

Weather auto refresh works 5% of the time.

My built in weather widget is supposed to update every 1 hr. However it rarely ever does that. Most of the time I have to manually update the weather. It's getting extremely annoying. My phone is full stock. What can I do?
I can't be the only one
same for me too. plus sometimes when i update it manually, it doesnt update. i have to enable gps + wifi for it to update. :/

GPS, WIFI, and Mobile Data are always enabled on my phone, but more often than not I have to keep manually updating the weather which sucks! Any solutions ?

Having a similar issue. I haven't checked thoroughly enough but I think it doesn't update when I'm indoors.. don't really care for weather so I don't notice it too much, but when I'm outside it seems to update normally.

for me..i dont really check it when am outside. but when am home and i use my phone. i see it not updating and it irritates me
Does it indoors and outdoors
It happens to me too.. I'm using the lock screen with weather display as the sign.. in my experience, it updates only when the screen is on, or at least if your phone's using data...
i put on weather refresh every 1 hour, at exactly X:00 minute, but it deviates from hour to hour, sometimes the minutes became 02, 04, etc. sometimes it doesn't even update for a couple of hours, usually when its on standby.. sucks
I put it to hourly updates and it seems like the weather refreshes on screen on. It updated at 7 when my alarm went off and at 8.12 which is the next time I turned the screen on after the supposed update time..

I would be very happy if mine did that (which it does rarely). Most of the time it wont update until I manually update it. Even changing the frequency from hourly to 12hours and then back to hourly doesn't make it update regularly.
Another update. It seems updating becomes a bit of a hit and miss if you activate lock screen weather. Everything was fine until I activated that and it's not updating again. Not a solution but maybe it'll help some people

[Q] My Magazine Not Responding All the time

Hey everyone,
I don't even use My Magazine but it stops responding all the time. Like 3 or 4 times a day. And everything freezes for a few seconds every time it does.
Anyone else hear of this / know of a solution? A friend told me it's a known issue with using the Nova launcher, but I was just searching for this known issue and I can't find a thread about it anywhere.
yes me too I thought it happened after I tried to unintelligible it and other bloat with titanium nd things started force closing so I restored them....wither way though same happens to me

well at least i'm not alone haha. i haven't done anything to try to disable or hide it. i'm not even rooted or anything yet. i just haven't used it since the day i got the phone 2 weeks ago and yet since the past 3 or 4 days it's been popping up not responding at random.
i just started suffering from this problem and i can't fix it. My Magazine freezes and crashes when i'm not even using it and it does this very often. This makes the phone lock up for a couple seconds. Very annoying.

Ditto, I believe it's happening to all note 3s, I remember reading about this same issue weeks ago when I first got my phone

Go to setting - General - Application manager - all - find my magazine - clear data and cache - force stop - restart your phone. This is how I fixed it. I hope it helps you.
Ps: this fixed the crashing issue but it's still very laggy at first start then is good.

Blaster - did what you mentioned, but next day came back! I hope they do an update soon to fix this! It sucks they force this app on us and it is not stable.
