I flashed O clean yesterday.
So far so good.
I am noticing though that some widgets dont work and wondered if anyone else is having issues?
Calendar and Keep will not load any info.
Keep is a dark grey box and Cal just says loading.
The apps work otherwise.
Thanks

Yes well all of the sudden it populated.
Bizarre beta behavior
Widgets not working for me either
I'm running O, and I normally use beautiful widgets pro ( for the clock) and it doesn't work. The clock on the widget does not keep time with the phone. I chatted with a google rep. he said it was because I downloaded the beta version. I don't think that's it. I've loaded 3 different clock widgets and none work. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks

I dont use that app for widgets so i have no experience.
However have you disable battery optimizations on that app or widget?
I dont know how it presents itself but it sounds like it is being put to sleep to save battery which would result in tht sort of performance.
just a thought
I noticed the same thing happening on the Pixel 2 all calendar widgets don't load anything. And if I try to click on them to add calendars they just crash. Funny thing is this doesn't happen with Google calendar

I have the same issue on my Pixel XL in Aviate. The Wunderlist widget only populates on time in ten. Very annoying. Worked fine on my 6P running the same 8.0.
All widgets not working after oreo update
After update of android 8.0 all of my widgets stop working..controls and tine not responding..temperatures weather not updating
Same here.
E.g. I can't find the clock widget or the meteogram widget in my list of widgets.
I run Android 8.1. (Lineage OS) on my Pixel XL.
I'm seeing the same issues. I have a few apps installed that control my Philips Hue lights. Those widgets won't work any more.

Widget Locker had been working flawlessly for me for several weeks, but all of a sudden I started having issues with it yesterday. I'm no longer able to add any widgets to my lock screen. I'm able to add custom sliders, applications and shortcuts. Whenever I try adding a widget nothing will happen for about 5 seconds and then the app will close and open itself up again. Can anyone suggest any possible fixes for this? I have already tried uninstalling the applications and re installing it as well as shutting down my phone.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Only other thing I can think of is resetting your phone. Since you've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling widget locker. Are you using a third party launcher?
Just wanted to add that you aren't alone. I just installed Widgetlocker tonight and I have never been able to add a widget. I get the exact same behavior you describe. I accidentally deleted the LOCK widget and I am unable to add it back. I'm stock rooted.

Hello
I am hoping someone can help? I have recently upgraded from htc one m7 to 16gb lg g3. I am ising the stock launcher. My issue is my widgets dont reliably update. I use timely alarm clock, but the widget rarely shows the right time.. I use facebook, but this rarely updates and sometimes locks up. I use a battery percentage widget, and this rarely updates...
Any ideas, as i have never had this problem on any phone or tablet??

Do you use Greenify? Or any other battery optimization app as such? This usually happens when you "greenify" (hibernate) the apps that have widgets.

Thanks for the quick reply. I dont use any battery saving app, or greenify. I have never been concerned about battery, as normally have a charger nearby!!
Any other ideas??

Hello Do you mean your widgets don't update with updates from Google Play Store? If so.. Open Play Store and tap on the installed app. Then choose 'automatic update'. Also make sure that your account sync is turned on.. From the pull down menu select the 'Sync' button.. Hope this helps :good:

I don't use the clock widget but if you tap on the widget.. Maybe you can change the settings as to when it updates? As for the battery widget.. You can try this ... It places a neat looking colourful battery icon on the top left of the screen or you can opt for the widget .. Do you have your sync turned on?
This affects all my widgets, not just these 2.. Sync is on.. On my nexus 7, my old htc one, my old s4, i never had any problems?? Desperately. Trying to avoid a reset.. Even facebook does not update reguarly.. Sometime it locks as well, so i cannot use the widget to post or open facebook..

Congrats mate! Glad you finally got it working.. Enjoy your device :good:
But it's really strange that the widgets gave you issues on the stock launcher
same issue, same fix
Stock launcher and widgets went dead. Cleared the cache on the 'home' app, and everything came back and sped up a bit too.
Hello,
I am on Stock OS version 3.2.4, did not touch anything from the staryt, with Nova Launcher installed. My widgets that tell time from different parts of the world and a countdown is not updating regularly.
Is this a one plus 3 problem? Anyone encountering the same issue? Is it a connection issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Do you have any battery saver type of apps installed. Sometimes they can be aggressive and interfere with widgets. Double check widget settings too.

Did not install any battery saving app on my phone. Stock as is. Updated to 3.2.4 OTA.
Also checked app settings and nothing seems to be about updating of widget frequency.
I tried to keep my desktop unlocked but the problem persists.
The 2 apps are Countdown and Perfect World Clock. And both of these are displayed on my main home screen. Is this an app issue? Are you guys not experiencing any of this? I have a calendar widget displayed, but not on main screen and it seems to update with no problem.
Until today, all I had displayed at the top right of my home screen was the day and date. Now after trying to look something up via Maps whilst on the phone, I have weather info with the day and date underneath in a smaller font. Please, please, please can someone tell me how to remove the weather info? I don't want or need it there! I have bog standard, up-to-date Android using the default launcher app. Thanks in advance.

If you're rooted ... turn off the Pixel Launcher WeatherUpdate receiver and reboot. Since it never sees the weather info it shows just the date.

Use SD Maid. Others work well but can't think of any at the moment
Also
If you're adventurous, take a look at Evie Launcher - free but not frequently updated. I'm liking the gray transparent search bar and interface options over Pixel. A little old-school, but fits me along with Chronus widget for time/date/weather.
Old thread - new information......
So the latest "incarnation" of my original issue is that using Wi-Fi, I have the data and weather on my home screen. With cell data, I only have the date! This has only been the case since either a Pie patch or a Google app update towards the end of last year.
I still have my Pixel XL with all apps and Pie up-to-date. I also have every notification I can find turned off. Google Assistant, Discover, Location.
It really grates with me that Google refuse to give us all the option of what we can/want to display on our Home screen. It can't be that difficult!

Google is the new Apple. The "our way or the highway" mentality is really getting up there.
For the life of me, I can't seem to find where to turn on the weather widget on the home screen of my 2 XL. I really like the stock launcher and on online reviews, I see the weather widget sitting next to the calendar widget. However, after trying to find it and conducting research, no dice.
Not sure if it matters, but I do have 1Weather installed and the temperature displaying in my notification shade.
Again, I'm using the stock launcher and just want to be able to see the weather widget sitting next to the calendar widget on the home screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I came here searching for the same answer.
Weird, every pixel 2 I've seen just has it there by default. Maybe try clearing app data for the launcher?
When I tried out the pixel launcher on my 5x, I could long press the date and it showed options. I think there were 2 check boxes. One for calendar alerts and one for something else. But the weather widget is not part of the launcher so it didn't show. But maybe is for phones that have it installed.

I was searching for the widget app and the first search suggestion is widget not working. Solution seems to just be download launcher again for most people.

Thanks a TON!!!
This is what fixed it for me "Open the google page to the left and use the hamburger menu and select customize. Select "everything else" at the bottom. Find anything that says weather and set it to yes."
None of the solutions are working for me. I even tried grabbing the Pixel Launcher from APK Mirror (because I can't uninstall or update it in the Play Store ~ system app).
Additionally, I don't see "everything else" at the bottom of my customize section of the Google app.
My pixel 2 XL should be here Friday. Im planning to use Nova launcher. I wonder if Googles weather widget will work with it? If it doesn't hop someone can patch the APK.

As far as Nova launcher gotta this is the first time since I've been using Android I'm satisfied, with the stock launcher.
I've been testing out the Pixel 2 Launcher on a different device. You have to enable Location access then search "weather" on your Google Now page. Once it there, try adding the shortcut to your home screen. Go back to your google now feed and refresh it. It should show a small weather bar as the first and it should show the weather on the widget.

No dice on this method; a small weather shortcut is placed on the home screen, but doesn't "shift" into what I've seen on other 2's and 2 XL's. I'm beginning to think there may be a software bug with the launcher. Thanks for the suggestion though!
With that said, surely I am not the only one who is experiencing this small issue. I don't know...

Have you tried refreshing your Google feed after getting your weather? It should look like this. See that small weather bar on the 2ns screenshot? Once that shows up, the weather on the widget does too. Takes a couple of refreshes.

On my 2 XL, this is what my Google screen looks like. As you can see, I don't have a weather bar like yours; and I can't find a way to add it either. Also, location is turned on with anything associated to weather and the Google screen. Hmm, this is interesting, lol.

Try going into your Google App's Settings. Look for Google Assistant then look for the My Day menu. Check the Weather check box if you haven't. Maybe this could enable it. Then refresh your Google feed.

From the home screen swipe left and get to the Google now page. In the top right corner you will see the 3 dots, click it and select customize feed. Scroll down to weather and select view all settings. Then check weather updates for your location. This worked for me. Hope this helps
