I have a TV Show Favs app on my Honor 9 Lite and it has a widget that I use. The widget shows upcoming TV shows that I watch and TV shows that I have not yet watched. When I've seen a TV show, I can mark it as seen on the widget.
Since getting this phone, the widget freezes after an hour or so meaning I can't mark anything as seen or view upcoming shows etc. I have enabled background running, every permissions enabled etc. This is also happening with my Tesco Xtras App that shows an add each time I turn the screen on so that I get a reduced monthly bill. That works initially for an hour or so then it never works again.
Any help appreciated please!
P.S. Using stock EMUI 8 on build LLD-L31 8.0.0.128(C432)

Is there a plug-in that will show the current temperature on the Today screen? I'm using SPB Mobile Shell, which has an icon for the condition outside (cloudy, sunny, etc.), but requires a click to get to the temperature. Anyone using anything that will display it without having to click?
Thanks.
You could use the HTC Home plugin and set the Weather tab to be first and to be the default tab. That may do it.
You could try Weather to Go although it appears to show min/max temps by default though not current temp. I dont know if that is good enough for your requirements. The std HTC Home always shows current temps for me when selected as it always wants to update before displaying anything despite being set to update automagically.
I use weather panel. It works great. You can set it for how often you want it to update the weather. It also allows you to view radar images of your area. It is free and although its a couple of years old works very well.

Thanks. No longer free -- 15 day trial, but it looks cool.
WeatherPanel just says it's a 15 day free trial. The developer for this app disappeared quite a while ago and must have turned off the trial before he left. Mine is also supposed to be the 15 day free trial version also but it's been working just fine for at least 8 months now.
NC with CM7 - my first android device. I'm finding that a lot of the widgets I have tried don't seem to refresh. I was really looking forward to homescreen "mission control" with all kinds of info live updating. Things I have tried that don't refresh:
-Yahoo Sportacular - It is still showing some game from 3 weeks ago even after opening the app. Also, is there an option to make it show all scores, not just my favorites?
-HeavensAbove (satellite & space station tracking) - only refreshes if I open the app
-News - I forget the exact name of this builtin android widget, small black box is supposed to be showing news stories, but is a week behind
There are a couple more that I can't remember at the moment.
So, is this a general android issue, a problem with each widget, problem with the nook, ???
Also made sure the sync option in android is set.
I did a couple searches in the forums and couldn't come up with anything.
Thanks!

You using a task killer? If so, stop.
and you might try removing and re-adding the widgets.
No, no task killer. I haven't installed or used one.
I've had issues with widgets too: I tried to add multiple battery widgets, however, none of them would appear under the widgets category in the long-press add to home screen.
I noticed that the Note 9 has a new option in the Smart View Menu that says "Device to Phone" Im used to using the Phone to device to mirror my phone to different displays but can anyone elaborate on the Device to phone option now? Looks like its just limited to Samsung tv's mirroring to the Note 9? Can a few people try this feature out and see if it works with any other devices maybe. That would be really cool if we could mirror different devices to our phone now and use our phones as a display. Never thought about that as a feature but would be cool if Samsung gives us that option.
I have a T-Mobile Note 9 (just got it today) and it has no SmartView feature anywhere. Very disappointing.
I went to a local shop that had new Samsung QLED TVs. Tested it out with a Q9F. It worked immediately, got a prompt at the TV that a Note 9 want to connect and neede approval. All connection after that did not require approval again. I could see what is on the TV on my Note9 and on the phone I had options like "power" that would retain the movie on Note9 but blank the tv screen. I walked around the shop waching the movie on my Note9. There was a button "source" that I think would let me chose another input attached to the tv like a PS4? Almost like PIP but outside the TV screen. I noticed a small lag that would be irrelevant in movies but annoying on a intense FPS game on PS4. There was a noticeable picture scaling issue I guess because phone and tv have different aspect ratios. Might be fixable. Tried to take a screenshot of it but the screenshot was blacked out because of protected content. Will go back to the shop later and test this feature on other cheaper models. Very excited about this feature. And no one talks about it!

You have to update your phone to the latest update. Go to settings and check for update. It should be "update 22" I believe. Then after updated it will be in your quick settings. Slide down the home screen and then slide down again to open the quick settings. It will have a smart view button. Click on it and it will have the new option for "phone to device" or "device to phone". Hope this helps
Hello,
I downloaded the EMU 10 update yesterday and am seriously thinking of reverting back to EMUI 9.
Is there anyway you can change the size of the contact photo when they ring? The small circle with their picture is ridiculous and a huge step down.
I've also noticed when I make a phone call through my hands free in my car (Ford Sync 3) their pictures have stopped showing up altogether.
Any replies would be greatly appreciated!

It's been the circle since early EMUI 10 beta and i don't think they will get it back as it was on EMUI 9.1, because as you can see, the circle contact picture's position is right where the electromagnetic sound from in display vibrations is set, so it might be something related with that.
As an altenative, you can use Full Screen Caller or other apps, which i know is not pleasant but it's a must do if you want half or full screen contact picture.
Downgrading after me is not an option, because i don't think they will release more than one firmware with updated security patch and then releasing only EMUI 10 firmwares with updated security patches.

I have never been a fan of Huawei's contacts app. You can download Google Contacts from the Play Store for free and see if you like it better. It has a different look and feel, and I've not noticed any lost functionality.
You can also set video ringtones, like I do. Just because of the same issue: I dont like the small BS photo. I want a full size photo. So I made a short video for my contacts and assigned it...
My Pixel 7's weather widget on the lock screen would be useful if it got my location right.
Every time I tap it, it shows the weather for 'My Location', but it thinks I'm in Greater London. Thing is I'm about 160 miles away in South Wales.
I've got all the location permissions set to allow, in Google etc.
I can add my real location as a saved one, but it fails to take this as default.
With Google maps, it picks up my location correctly, so I can't see why the widget doesn't.
Any info as to make it work correctly.
Thanks
Edit stock Android 13 with latest update
Most of the time mine won't even show up, consider yourself lucky!

Between that and metadata completely broken for me, kinda regretting this phone.
This seems to have fixed itself!
This morning the widget still thought I was in Greater London, but now it finds me correctly!
Android Device Policy got updated via the Play Store ( I have auto update off as a couple of apps lose functionality when on their latest versions), and when I used the Assistant (long press on home button) it needed a download and asked me to sign in.
Since then it appears to work
Another quirk to this is if on mobile data (4G in my area) I asked the assistant "where am I ", it came back as Greater London, repeating this on when connected to my home WiFi it replied "Cardiff", which is approx 20 miles away, a lot closer but still a bit off.
Re-testing this and its the same
