Google Nexus 5 :: Widgets Not Working / Not Updating
Dec 20, 2013
I just got a brand new N5. So far so good but theres a couple of things that are bothering me... mostly the fact that widgets dont seem to self update at ALL!! When I tap on them they still work, but the actual widget stays the same.
I purchased a Nexus 6 phone about 9 months ago and installed many widgets. My software is up-to-date and AT&T is my carrier.
Everything was working fine until approximately 5-6 weeks ago when the widgets began freezing multiple times per day requiring a reboot to reactivate. When the widgets freeze - everything else works fine. I have gone through several exercises trying to determine the cause to no avail. I've removed all of the widgets and reintroduced one at a time, but can't pinpoint any one widget as being the issue. I currently use the following widgets: Weather Channel, The Score, Google Now, Calendar, Gmail and Flipboard.
I have a Chronus clock and an Accuweather widget that wil randomly stop updating. The only way to resolve this is to reboot the phone. The Chronus clock works ok, but the battery meter will randomly stop updating. The Accuweather wigdet will also stop. If I remove and re-add the Accuweather app, all I get is the "Loading" screen.
I am on a Nexus 6 on the T-Mo network. Currently running OS 5.1.1, build LYZ28J.
I just got my N6 today! I've been going through trying to get things just the way I like them, but I'm not seeing my favorite widgets. i.e. Weather Channel, Audible, Tasks, Brilliant Quotes and Dictionary.com. What am I missing? I'm coming from a S5. I did however find a widget for play music that I didn't have on S5, so that's cool.
So I downloaded a few widgets and when I go to add them to my home screens they are not in the folder to add. I've downloaded a few different ones to be sure it wasn't just a one off incident and I am unable to add anything.
I have a brand new Nexus 6 and have been unable to find widgets that I was able to use on my HTC One M8. Is there something I need to do or or these no longer available? I only see very few selections (primarily Google-related). in my widget folder.
Just wanted to upgrade my sisters phone which was running an old 5.1 version (custom rom, so the phone was unlocked and rooted already) to an android 6.0.1 custom rom. So I flashed newest twrp and flashed 6.0.1 bootloader and radio.img via fastboot using wugfresh tool and the files from the thread on here. now when trying to get into recovery, I am stuck at the google logo.
For the last two days my inbox isn't giving me notifications. Uninstall and reinstalled no luck. Other apps are notifying just fine. In order to know if a new Gmail I have to open the app. Worked fine until two days ago. Any thoughts? Nexus 6 stock t-mobile.
I got error message when i update my nexus 5 to 5.0.1, my nexus downloading the update and restart, after that in the middle of the process, it suddenly says error
Probably it have something to do with i root my nexus 5?
I'm using Nexus Toolkit to root so can i use the Toolkit to unroot without losing data? After that will i be able to update OTA?
I use Toolkit to Flash stock + unroot and it worked and i didn't lose any data (Must go to option and check unwipe data). I first unroot using supersu but that didn't work, just want to share it.
My nexus 5 was good with no problem before the update, and even 1 day after.
The problem started on yesterday, when suddenly the speaker didn't work. Tried to switch on and off the volume, and sometimes it does come back! But most of the time it silent.
I went into recovery and rebooted, still get the "no command" screen. Factory reset didn't fix it either.
I got into fastboot and ran the flash-all from an image I got from Google and got "'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
After Marshmallow Update, my Nexus 5 behaving Strangely - Showing Incorrect Time & After Restarting Showing Correct Time.
The Time Zone is Correct But Still Showing Incorrect Time.
The Clock Running Slow, Sometimes 1 & 1/2 Hours Times Back & Sometimes 2 Hours Back.
After Restarting, Shows Correct Time, Again After Sometime The Clock Runs Back.
After Manually Setting The Clock, The Problem Still There.
On this day my Nexus 5 Clock was a day Off Like The Time Displayed on My clock was 6::30 Pm Thu 22 2015 Whereas The Actual Time was 7:37 Fri 23 2015 & when I set the Date & Time Correct, This is what Displayed on my Screen.
onReceive: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException:Invalid index 286, size is 150
After updating my Nexus 5 to Marshmallow, I can no longer hang up the phone. The screen stays black when I move it away from my face. I have to unlock my phone or wait for the other person to hang up. Also, the screen doesn't always go to sleep anymore when it should.
I noticed when I update my profile on my n5 I will lose network data until I switch network data off and back on. It only happens after I update the profile the prl is fine.
Since updating to 5.0 (T-mobile G900TUVU1DOB1), the widgets installed do not update. The Samsung clock widget being the main one for me. I have tried several clock widgets since and they are all the same.Is this a 5.0 error, Samsung issue, or other?
I have a problem with my Moto X for some reason my widgets stop updating on the screen. My clock will stop updating as well as my facebook widget. The only way that I can fix this is through a reboot.
I have tried a couple of different digital clock widgets and some (but not all and not always!) do not update the time unless you put the phone to sleep and then wake it again. I am running no task killers and do not have an excessive number of programs running at any one time.
I tried various clock widgets and since upgrade to GB, the time does not update, the clock on the top status bar will have the correct time and the widget will show like 2 hours ago. If I tap the widget, it refreshes and shows the correct time, otherwise it's stuck. Anyone have a flip clock widget (ala HTC Sense clock), preferably with weather that will work with the DroidX and GB? Will the new mr6 update in mid-august fix this? Analog clocks seem to work, so my guess it's some sort of update/refresh service in GB is not working correctly.
I just flashed the nexus 5 official image for android 6.0; I have used adb and fastboot and I flashed everything but the userdata.img (as I did with all previous updates). Everything looks fine with the exception of google now on tap: if I long press the home "button" it only takes me to the regular google now page.
The google app is version 5.3 (which is supposed to enable on tap), I tried both google now launcher and nova, but the result is always the same, standard google now page with no content relevant to the page/app I was in. Is it expected ? do i have to enable it somehow?
im having problems with GPS, i have tried different gps/maps apps, it just wont figure out my location. im trying the option "Device Only" "use GPS to determine your location".i have also tried the option, "use wifi, gps, and mobile networks", still no change.
So I received a replacement Nexus 5 from Google and already installed 5.0 lollipop. However, the tap and go feature is not transferring any of apps from the old nexus 5 to the replacement phone. It only transfers my contacts. I was reading around and realized that my back up was turned off. Yesterday, I turned on "back up my data" and "automatic restore" under settings->Backup & reset. However, today when I tried to use tap and go feature, my apps still did not transfer over.
So I am trying to USB tether right? but, for some reason it won't even setup a connection and when I enabled Dedug mode for USB that seemed to get it working. Honestly I don't want to do it that way. I pay for my tethering plan unlike most people on here with T-Mobile.
What I am trying to say is that out the box USB tethering does not work.
Now with Debug enabled I can do it, but when debug is enabled my damn Win 8.1 64 bit flips out! Seriously I don't know what the hell this damn phone is doing to my computer but it forces my CPU to go up to 100% usage!!
Unless my WiFi is connected my Browser will not work with the 4g LTE. I don't know if its my APN settings or if something else is wrong. I'm on Straight Talk with an AT&T Sim card.
