Is anyone else having this issue? I use Beautiful Widgets to keep the current weather conditions on my phone. I've used it for years (and I've seen this problem from time to time before). The information on the widget just freezes after a day or so (sometimes less). The time is frozen, the weather and temperature are frozen. If I press on the widget, it launches the appropriate app which will display the correctly updated information. When I close the app, the widget is still frozen. I switched to Accuweather (to see if it was just Beautiful Widgets) and it did the same. I tried Google's News and Weather App/Widget. It does the same thing. Is it my phone? Is it a Lollipop bug? Any suggestions/solutions will be appreciated!

I'm having the same issue, and the OTA 5.1 update did nothing to fix it. Did you ever find a solution?
Further, this happens to me even with stock widgets like Google Calendar.
The 5.1 update seems to have helped this problem. I have noticed it once in the past couple weeks since I updated but not nearly as often as before the update.
I have been having this issue for a while now. Found a random thread that someone said to try disabling auto update of apps in the play store app and that did seem to work. But now it is has been happening even with that setting off. I use a Chronus flex widget that has time and weather, the time is fine but weather part of widget does not update. If I try another weather widget I get the same issue, it won't update even when I refresh the screen the widget brings up. The only thing that works is a reboot, and then eventually it stops updating again.
Any ideas on what is really causing this? Right now my Moto X is completely stock because I re-flashed the stock everything trying to get Android Pay to work.

Recently my phone (HTC TD2, WM6.5Pro) stopped updating time displayed on lock screen. Well, to be precise, sometimes after a soft-reset it does update the clock but usually it doesn't. However, time displayed on home screen (I'm using Titanium) is correct and reminders and alarms work just fine.
Also, calendar events shown beside time on lock screen won't update too if the clock becomes "stuck," but I guess this is just a consequence of the time not being updated.
I have not installed any applications in the last few weeks and am not aware of any manual changes being done to the registry. What could have been causing this?
Any hints or tips would be much appreciated.
Best regards,

it all started with my galaxy s3. one day i noticed that the clock widget was not responding to any tap. it still worked for the time just fine. but when you clicked it, it did nothing. i started using another alarm app. so i could have a alarm. i have purchased a galaxy s5 now and after transferring all of my data, guess what? the clock is not responding to a tap. it will not pull up the alarm, stopwatch, timer menu. i can go into the actual clock app and it works fine. i have done a factory reset on both phones with no luck. it seems all my friends clock widgets operate properly. is there something i am missing?

Which clock widget?
You can try by giving restore clock widget.
It seems that all clock Widgets will not respond even the factory ones.
I've been rolling round the net for a few days now trying to solve this but no fully successful result.
It seems the stock launcher has this bug were if u have anything active in the accessibility services such as NoLED then tallback (TB) kicks in.
I tried the disable TB suggestion for NoLED but it always seems to start again. However I have stooped the voice by uninstalling it + the 2 TTS engines. However a hand is displayed in the notification bar (& it ignores my colour thyme) and an ongoing notification is displayed as well U can get rid of this but it reappears at reboot.
So I've tried the used a different launcher idea for NoLED, I think this worked (lots of launchers & playing going on) TB voice wise but I still get the hand
Also the splanner 'full screen' widget does not seem to work with other launchers I've had a look at a few other calendar widgets but they are not as good as they did not display any text only a marker for events unlike the splanner widget.
But even if I could find a good 'full screen' calendar widget I would still have the TB hand problem so I might as well stick with the stock launcher as I have figured out how to shut it up - But I don't want the hand!
I was thinking of trying [KERNEL][TW]Forest-HelloWorld-Make-II kernel for JB N7000 as v1.73 has BLN support but this is an old version and the new version does not support it. Also it looks like v1.73 does not have phils touchwiz recovery; which I currently have and don't wish to loose. Also the BLN in 1.73 is based on wakelock, so would this mean bad battery life?
I cannot ask about the kernel in it's thread yet, so can anybody comment.
Last night I found the LEDBlinker Lite app & that looked interesting but the way in which it works (which I have not looked at yet) means the back & menu buttons are permanently illuminated (this will be because I have them set to be on when the screen is on as I have 360 degree rotation enabled) and the activation icon for button savior is displayed. So this is no go due to battery consumption and screen burn.
Can anybody suggest a way out of this catch 22 hell, so I have some sort of message notification with the screen 'off', with no TB voice, no TB hand in notification, 'full screen' splanner widget or similar which displays text for events, does not cause the prob with button savior and the back/menu keys and has philz touch?
If a new launcher is needed it needs to support folders in the apps draw and ideally be free. I'm def not paying anything till I get it all working due to the catch 22 nature of this.
Any suggestions muchly appreciated as I've been messing around with this for days.
I'm using sweet rom v11.1 with a philz touch v5.
Thanks
Last night we switched to DST (East coast US), now the standard Samsung Weather widget shows the wrong time. Phone system time is correctly auto - updated.
Anyone has an idea how to get correct time in weather widget?

I'm having the same problem on both my Note 8 & my S8+. Both are running beta releases of Oreo.
What version of android are you on?
delete widget and then readd it. and or click on the small arrow circle logo to update it. mine is ok now.
My wife's S8 and my Note 8 are doing the same. I assume it's a bug on Samsung's end.....

Of course I tried all delete-reinstall-update-etc possibilities, no dice..
Guess it will remain this way until Europe switches to DST in two weeks...
I have the same exact problem on my Note 8. It shows the correct updated time though, on the bottom right corner of the widget, but not the big clock. Also when I tried reinserting the widget, it's showing correct clock on the widget preview. But when I apply it, still shows an hour begind.

I tend to agree but on the the other hand, at the core this wouldn't be an issue if the stupid and unnecessary time change would be a thing of the past already. it causes more headaches and issues than it acctualy solves. less than 40% of the countries world wide use DST. it is a testament that it is useless and the world keeps on spinning without it.
its 2018. can we all act like it?
Hahaha I was just having the same issue and this is the first thread I see, gotta love XDA. It's weird because if you clear data/cache the time will be the correct time but if you add your current city it throws it back 1 hour, very odd. Also rebooting the device doesn't help. I said screw it and just started using the 2x3 weather widget instead of the 5x1 weather and clock.

ye ah screw it. Try FU weather
40 hours later and it seems to be fixed. Too many close calls today looking at it and thinking that's the time.
Proper way to fix this is to long press the app widget and go into app info. Force stop. Then Tap storage and clear cache and data. Close everything and do this one more time. Come back and you'll be good to go after you tap the widget to set your city. If you only do this one time it seems to remember something in the cache somewhere.
Is anyone facing issue of slowness with calendar widget on home screen?
Device is slow when google calendar widget from work profile added to home screen. The pattern observed is after a day of use, device responds slower.
Tried with outlook calendar widget from work profile too, still device is slower after a day of use.
Did not face this issue in s9+ and it seems specific to note 9.
For now removed calendar widgets though its important for me. Is anyone else facing this?
Not here, I have my works Google calendar on the home screen and its all smooth. I have resized the widget to its max too.

I have exynos note 9 with ARH4 build. Is it same for you?
Did you keep the widget on default home screen or side pages? I tried by keeping it on default home screen page which made the device slow after a day of use. I can try putting it on another side page n see.

Thanks for your input.
I used widget on side pages of home screen for the last 16 hrs or so. So far so good no slowness as observed when the same widget is on main home screen page. Will update if it still be the same after a day passes.

Bad luck.
After a day passes, home screen page swapping became slower even with widget on other home page. I really wonder whats causing this slowness which weird (the same setup of apps, widgets works flawlessly on s9+)
Is there any AI learning captured in device causing cpu throttling or something else???

Im on the Exynos too. I have the widget on the 3 screen. No slowness across the phone in anyway.
I'm late to this party, but yes, seeing the same issue on my Verizon Galaxy S9.
Using the work profile's Google Calendar widget makes my launcher extremely slow and unresponsive.
Removing the calendar instantly clears up the issue.
Saw the issue on Samsung's launcher and Action Launcher
Probably due to the launcher! I could be wrong. But if your problem still exists. Try a other launcher like lawnchair or Hyperion .
