Xperia Stock Weather App stopped updating in the background - Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers

Ever since the last week the default Clock and Weather widget stopped updating the weather in the background. It does nonetheless update when I click it and the weather app opens.
This started happening without the app being updated, or the FW being updated (v52.0.A.8.131), but installing the new Weather app update from 2019.08.26 or removing this update and reverting to the stock version did not help.
Did this happen to you guys as well? Any clues?

FriendStream Widget not refreshing after ICS update

Hello everyone,
Updated to ICS just recently and everything seems to be working fine so far apart from the FriendStream widget.
I'm using the full-screen widget as opposed to the other 2, smaller, versions.
At the moment, I have placed the widget on screen and it shows my updates, but when it refreshes itself the updates don't show.
The time at the bottom of the widget changes to show that it updated recently but the status updates don't change.
If I go into the FriendStream app itself the updates are there but just not on the widget.
Odd.
I have to remove and re-add the widget for it to 'refresh'
Any thoughts please?

Home.apk gets frozen

From time to time my widgets on the home screens are getting stuck. for example clock widget, weather widget, music widget. clock stops on a random hour. Music widget is completely not working., The only solution is to restart the phone or "Force stop" the Home.apk. I´m on 10H firmware and I've already restored the phone to factory defaults. Just wondering if someone experienced same thing? if yes can you advise how to fix it? The non stock widgets I´'m using are: BeWeather Pro and ClockQ Premium.
Have not yet heard of that problem?
May use another launcher (apex for example)
and see if it occures with it the same way.
Greetings
It looks like BeWeather was doing it. I've removed the widget from the screen yesterday and since that time no issues at all. Will report that to developer of the app.

Weird issue with HTC Weather, "breaks" between 00:00 - 05:00 every night

Hello people,
For the past month or so, I'm facing a weird issue with the HTC Weather app.
Only at night, between 00:00 and 05:00, when I open the weather app I get wrong temperature, wrong weather conditions and no weather stats (humidity, wind force and direction and visibility all show a single dash).
For example, 20 minutes ago (before midnight, local time), clock and weather widget was showing 12 degrees here and scattered clouds (which is the correct weather according to accuweather app). I just opened the weather app (its 20 minutes after midnight local time) and it shows 15 degrees and rain, with dashes instead of humidity, wind and visibility.
Same thing is happening with the new HTC Lockscreen update from Play Store. The clock/weather widget that comes with the lockscreen update (the sense 7 one) and the sense 7 weather widget I got from another thread here, both always show the "wrong" temperature and conditions, again only during the night. Plus, if let's say at 23:00 I set the clock one hour later manually, I get the same bug. That means it could have something to do with the clock app?
With the new HTC weather update the issue is far from fixed. Where in the stock app showed the correct weather on open (I needed to update weather to show the "wrong" weather and I had the "update on open" option disabled), the new app shows the "wrong" weather on start, even with said option disabled.
I have two more reports of this from friends (one has a completely stock device) so it can't be a ROM issue, otherwise I guess it would also happen all the time, not just during the night. It must be an HTC issue since the accuweather app works correctly. I tried clearing data on a bunch of different apps, checked power settings just in case I had data/sync disabled during this hour, even reflashed the rom, no luck.
Anyone else facing this? Any fix?
Grrr...
Yes! I also have this problem. At midnight 0.00h. the weather widget changes to cloudy with rain when it's actually clear outside. I don't know if it's till 5.00h am because i'm sleeping then but when i wake up it's okay again. Turning off automatic time doesn't help. I used to think it was rom related too but now i know it's the freakin weather widget. This needs to be fixed. RIGHT NOW!
Well, I fixed it by uninstalling the HTC Service Pack updates, leaving the stock one which came with my rom (version 1.1.853606, ROM is ViperOne 8.0.0). That fixed my weird/wrong weather data between midnight and early morning.

Widgets (calendar/agenda) don't update/refresh?

No idea if this is an Android 7.x issue in general or specific to OP3T.. but I can't find any calendar/agenda widget for my homescreen which will update (refresh), other than via a reboot.
ie. if I reboot on Tue Apr 4th.. the widget will believe it is April 4th until I reboot several days later .. and show the calendar accordingly, and not pick up any new appointments.
The main calendar app does. Just not the widget.
I had been using Agenda Widget, but that broke badly with 7.x, so I have since tried several others (most recently Tiny Calendar). None of them update.
My Weather widget (Transparent weather) also doesn't update the day and thus shows out of date weather info.
Other than unlocked bootloader, I am stock.
Any solutions?
EDIT: so far as I can tell, I don't have any battery optimizations enabled which would throttle these apps when in the background.
so this is working for everyone else?
I was using the Google launcher.. just in case I switched back to the OP3T launcher.. but no luck. Today is Wed, and both my weather and calendar widget report they still think it is Saturday.

Question Weather app

I have the new OP10 Pro Android13 and I'm already struggling with the problem. My weather widget doesn't update until I open the app. And I also ran into a problem or feature, the app is missing the automatic weather update interval settings. Do you have any advice on the widget? Also, are you missing the automatic weather update settings? Thanks for the insights.
