Ever since the update to Android 12, the stock weather widget consistently doesn't update (I have it set to refresh every 60 minutes).....and will show a line through the location sometimes...........up in the air as to what's causing this. I've wiped data/cache and still happens. It will update if I tap the icon.
is the app set to not sleep?
not a sleeping app
I might have found the reason, I went to Settings, Apps, Weather.............in Notification categories, "Weather refresh" wasn't checked........might be the issue.
I used a different weather app and its widget stopped updating, and notifications stopped showing, after the most recent update the other day (the one following the big 12 update). I had to download a new app that was similar, but at least it works. I don't know if it is the same issue as the widget you use or not.

Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue.
Noticing apps and widgets are not refreshing my location on request and still think I'm somewhere I was up to 24 hours ago. Seeing this on my home screen weather widget and in 4square; all data (weather and nearby venues) is for a geographic area I was before. But, it IS giving me up-to-date weather info.
If I reboot the phone I'm good for another day or so. Also if I enable GPS or go outside for good GPS signal its ok (until I turn off GPS or go inside for a while). I'm running stock kernal, non-rooted.
same here. seems to show the location i was in 15 minutes earlier with no way to refresh. quite annoying that i have to turn the gps on to get the correct location
I'm currently using rootbox vanilla and KT kernel. Decided to do some battery testing so I unplugged by phone and made sure nothing was running before going to bed and I've attached my results.
I have GPS turned off and as far as I know i've disabled any location service related setting from third party apps such as Facebook/Instagram/Twitter.
I use two widgets for weather: cLock and Dashclock. But I've set the weather settings to be manually requested instead of updating on intervals so that shouldn't be causing maps to run.
Anyone have any ideas as what could possibly still be triggering maps to run in the background? (Thinking Google Now maybe?)

Most likely Google Now, if you don't use it, unistall or freeze it.
I have been using the phone for about a week, running the latest version. I have noticed a lot of times I am not receiving notifications properly or consistently. My phone is pretty notification busy, so I notice when I'm missing things.
I came from a Nexus 5 phone running Lollipop, so this is my first experience with Marshmallow. I have a feeling these notification issues are due to the new power saving / deep sleep features in 6.0.
Here are the issues I've noticed so far.
- Hangounts : received notification for hangout message (not sms), opened app and it said "received 10 minutes ago". Phone was in my pocket, hadn't looked at it for a few hours.
- Ebay : no outbid notification, was outbid overnight when my phone was not plugged in and left on my desk.
- Life360 : Was not showing up on the map for location tracking when checking from another device. I opened the app on my phone and it reconnected. This happens consistently.
- Sleep Cycle: Alarm does not go off if the phone is not plugged in to a power source. When I unlock the phone in the morning, the alarm starts ringing (even though it's late).
- BaconReader : No message notifications until I open the app, or late notifications (delayed over an hour).
- CSipSimple : SMS messages are not received when phone is left overnight (this is a IP phone with SMS messaging through an SIP provider, all data related).
Email seems consistently good, which is nice. Social media apps I haven't noticed an issue yet, but I'm not really busy using those.
I tried re-installing some apps. I've also tried setting the app notification settings under app settings such as "Treat as priority", "Allow peeking", and "Wake".
Any one else? Any recommendations?
I searched and found:
Email notifications and touch screen problems after Dec update.
Missing SMS Notifications
have you restored some of those apps from a backup of your old phone? if yes, consider a fresh install of those.
else, try turning off doze for those troublemakers, maybe restart your phone, and see what happens during an appropriate amount of time. do this by going to settings -> battery -> top right corner menu -> optimisation.
I did restore the apps from backup. Some that were causing issue I did uninstall and reinstall, configure form scratch, no help.
I'll try turning off battery optimization for some of the apps and see if that helps. Thanks for the tip.
Those are all side effects of Doze - in some cases (Sleep Cycle) it sounds like the it hasn't been updated to use the API23 AlarmManager calls that should work with Doze. Hangouts should have worked - I'd be surprised if its not using Google Cloud Messaging which is Doze exempt.
Exempting apps from battery optimisation doesn't fully exempt them from all Doze restrictions but it's worth a try as it might help. It does allow apps to keep network connectivity which is likely key for Life360, Ebay and CSipSimple.
I would contact the Devs of all the apps to alert them their app isn't working properly on Marshmallow
Exempting Sleep Cycle in the battery saver allowed the alarm to work when I didn't have it plugged into a charger. I'll email the developer.
I've added exemptions to the battery saver for all apps that I use where I would never want them to decide to go to sleep. Everything seems better now, I haven't noticed any missed notifications since.
I hope hangouts was a fluke, I would also agree it should work properly...
Helllo there!
Since a long time, I am experiencing issue with push notifications on my device. Especially when an app is not used for few days, the notifications stops appearing from the app. The frequently used app are displaying notifications.
Is it common? Anyone experiencing this? Is there a setting which I can change to get this fixed?
Tired searching the forum but could not find any info.
This was happening when I was running OxygenOS 4.1.6 and even after recently upgrading to Open Beta 20, the problem still exists.
Any info would be helpful.
Thanks!
Turn off the Battery Optimization for the apps... it is part of Android's "Doze" functionality.
I had this issue when I chose "deep clear" in recent app management and cleared the tasks. After switching to "normal clear", and re-starting apps everything started working as normal again.
Hi,
I find that widgets have become a mess after the Oreo update. I use two news apps (BBC and Guardian) with widgets. Both of them have issues with their widgets now.... The widgets do not update and sometimes they hang completely and I must remove them and place them back on the screen to allow them to work again.
I have noticed that even the pre-installed weather widget stops updating after a while....
Does anybody else see this problem?
Hi there,
This may be related to Oreo force closing background apps for saving battery. You may check Battery settings for those two apps. If it is set as Managed Automatically, try to make them Managed Manually. It should be in Settings > Apps and Notifications > Apps > (your app) > Battery.
Bests
I tried to manage their background activities manually and enabled all three permissions but it doesn't make any difference.
Also, the weather widget is not in the list so there is nothing to do about that.
The problem is intermittent and sometimes it takes several days to show up, which makes me think it is indeed related to some battery management algorithms but I can't find a way to solve the problem.
I never saw this behaviour during the year I used the phone on Android 7.0.
On an unrelated note I also find that the Wi-Fi connection drops more frequently if the signal is low, particularly when the phone is in stand-by. Again, I had never seen this behaviour before the Oreo update...
