Beautiful Widgets

Anyone else having lots of force closes with this recently? Suspect it's the recent app revisions and not anything on the phone, but you never know.

I have had none until today..
Fascinating Fascinate

I have been having problems for a few days now and have been wondering if there was something I did to cause this. Hopefully it gets adressed, may have to change widgets because of this.

Every day. It seems to be the only app that fcs on my phone

ditto for me as well.
had to uninstall it until i hear of an update that addresses the issue...
running stock kernel (did the same with birdman's test20, and JT's OC and stock clock voodoo kernel's as well.)
no task manager, and using the blue breeze clean rom

I've been having FC issues with Beautiful Widgets for a couple weeks now. I, too, uninstalled it and will go back and try it every time there is an update.
Kind of unfortunate, liked the weather.
Weather Channel and Weatherbug don't cut it, at all.

Dunno what changed but I haven't had another fc. Running birdmans kernel and bunny's magic rom

I have had the exact opposite experience with BW. With Voodoo and Birdman's kernel, BW would FC at least 3 times a day. It would also play havoc with noLED when a notification would come to the phone. BW would FC and i couldn't get to the notification for about 30 seconds. While in my car dock it would do it 5 or more times during a 5-6 hour road trip. I will caveat that by saying that along with BW, several other apps would FC when using my car dock and having the Voodoo and/or Birdman's kernel installed.
I went back to the stock kernel and all seems well for the past 3 days.

I've had FC issues for a couple weeks with BW. Thought about uninstalling it several times but really love having it on my home screen. I'm presently running Dirk's LV 1000 Vodoo kernel and have only had a couple FCs over the last few days.

I have FC notifications at least once or twice a day, but i hit the force close button and it doesn't actually stop the widget or anything, I just continue on with my day.

I have not had any problems. I occasionally get a FC here or there. but it is not a common occurrence.

i ended up switching to weather & toggle widget. no where as good as beautiful widgets but it has an awesome htc skin, h7c

Are you guys running adw? Mine was doing the same switched to Zeam problems went away.

I'd try changing It. Just to see if it fixes the problem.

I also just recently ran the Fix Permissions Utility in ROM Manager and that seemed to have fixed a lot.

No force closes ever here. Launcherpro plus via JP6.

Plume Unread Count

I haven't been able to get the unread count to appear on the Plume widget...ever (okay, it worked on my Dinc), ever prior to rooting. I've ticked the box in settings, I've cleared the cache, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app...I've done all that I can think of. Anyone else have this issue and sort it out, or have suggestions as to what to try? Thank you.
Rooted Thunder

So.....is anyone else even using Plume?

I use plume and see the unread count on the widget. I didn't do anything special to it and it shows fine.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

are you guys using the scrolling widget? mine doesn't work...I hear it's a sense issue but not positive since this is my first sense phone. I get 'false from plume' messages.

@itsDollar. Huh, it guess that I need to continue to mess with it and hopefully I'll stumble upon what's going on.
@bretnj. I'm not familiar with the scrolling widget. I may have to take a peek at it.

The scrolling widget has issues with sense. It did work until I loaded a ROM and now it doesn't again.

[Q]

Has anyone on the KF2 rooted had their statusbar flicker or would know the cause of or solution to the issue?
It just turns off then on, seemingly random. My turning on I mean it appears, the icons adjust to match, then it disappears about one second later, and when I try to swipe down on it, I can't get anything to happen.
Installed new status bars (non root ones) and it replaced the bar that flashes...but the same issue.
This happened after a boot from using KindleFree. I used most of the tools on it, if you want to know I can list them. The only thing that I can POSSIBLY imagine went wrong would be when I tried to see how it would handle the setting a laucnher. So I got nova, rebooted, didn't like nova, set apex as default by pressing home, and that was that. I can't find nova in my ROM toolbox list of apps so I'm not sure how KindleFree installed it, and I'm not sure if that even caused the issue.
Any ideas?
I planned to just reset, re-root and start from clean when I get home but I'm at work for the next 7 hours and I'd like my statusbar back haha.

Well, some update I suppose.
TabletBar Hider does something. When I open the app and press restore, it makes the statusbar flash and appear for a bit. It's the ONLY thing that seems to have a direct effect on when it seems to appear. I tried using apps that make the notification area appear, and those did not work.
My best guess is something is forcing it to close....but I'm not sure what, or why.
Suggestions?

Well.....I've fixed it.
I wanted the Chameleon launcher so I changed my build.prop so the market would think I have a Nexus 7. No, this did not work for the market (I think I need to clear the cache) but, my status bar works! No idea what happened folks but.....there you go?
This thread can be locked or removed or whatnot. Since I really have no useful insight as to what broke or fixed it.
Signs point to installing Nova with KindleFree broke it, and that changing my build prop from a blaze tablet to a nexus 7, fixed it.
It makes no sense to me either, but that's what happened! Oh well, at least it works now. Happy modding and New Years all!

Have you installed Gmail by any chance?

I don't have the kindle fire 2, I have the hd, but for me gmail is the usual culprit for that like mentioned earlier. Other apps have caused it though. Usually going through and opening all the apps you used before it happens will clear that up. I do believe it's some sort of issue with notifications.

How did I not find that thread? Thanks! It could have been. From my thread, you can see my fix didn't seem related to me, BUT, yes, I did install gmail using KindleFree so that may have spawned some issues. However, I have used gmail since, and no issues. I'm not really sure what changing the build.prop does beyond supposedly trick the market, which didn't work for me. Thank you though! Hopefully we get to the root of what exactly this is! Two issues so far, both fixed in different ways. If it happens again I will try your fix and if that works then it's for certain gmail and hopefully we can help future issue finders!

I'm rather curious of getting market to believe the kindle is another device... it would be nice to not sideload so many apps
If you have success with this please post back with your build prop edits

Location problems?

My phone can not determine my location over WiFi or mobile internet. It does not work with the HTC weather widget on blinkfeed (just constantly shows no weather data available and annoys the **** out of me) Google maps or Google news and weather. All settings have been configured the only thing I haven't tried is GPS.
Im really annoyed as location apps were great on my s3 and my last HTC phone the hd2.
Anyone suggest what might be causing the problem? I wouldnt mind manually typing my location in but that doesn't alter (or at least I can not find a way to) the blinkfeed weather widget
Any help appreciated, I have had a good look through this forum so sorry if this is duplicated elsewhere.

I did have a problem in the first 24 hours of use - no location showing. Eventually I checked all locations settings were <ON> and then ran maps. For the first time I saw the GPS icon flashing and I did get a location.
Hope that helps....

Yeah a hard reset sorted it. Don't know what happened the first time, all settings were exactly the same as the second time I set it up, weird.

Afraid I have the same issue Anyone figure out how to fix this short of a hard reset?

I had the same problem. Made sure location services were all checked and then just soft resetted and it finally appeared.

Disable the Fast Boot option in Settings. Then reboot.
Worked for me.

I've tried all above, but no success.
It worked for 10+ days, then last 4 days I only get "MY LOCATION" or "CURRENT LOCATION" in BF or Weather app.
It was very good first ten days, and extremly precise. I'm still on .13 version.
Anybody still having this issue or similar??

It's a known Google problem with about 6 threads here discussing the problem. Google is working on a fix.

Disabling Fast Boot worked for me too

My Blinkfeed only has United States option
Im in the UK and I am pretty sure my One is an import. It only has United States in the Blinkfeed drop down so I get no UK topics and services.
Does anyone know a solution?
Much appreciation

how do you get the weather to update??

I looked at my gear watch earlier tonight & the temperature was off by over 10 degrees.
When I clicked on the weather, it hadn't updated in 4 hours. How do you get it to update or refresh more often??

Gear manager, my apps, settings for weather. There you can change the auto refresh.

Yea, I found that setting after I posted that but it doesn't work right.
I have it set to update every hour & right now it hasn't updated in almost 5 hours.

You need to enable locaction services in your smartphone. Otherwise the weather is not updating, even if you set a fixed location. Don't ask me why, but that's what I found out.

You should not disable (or delete) Weather Widget on your main device. Gear's weather depends on it.

It is enabled & I haven't disabled the weather widget.
I think it must have been an acuweather problem, this morning it started working fine........

Yes. In the accuweather widget, you can go to update interval and change it to hourly. The default is set up to every six hours I think.

The biggest key, I think, is that you must use one of the native weather widgets on your phone. If not I don't think an auto update will take place regardless of your other settings.
I could be wrong though.
