Help with my widgets!!

[Kelly Kearns]

I was going to install BW on my phone but now im having second thoughts. Do any of you recommend a weather/time widget that is clear/transparent? Just want to be able to see my wall paper through it. Thanks

I haven't had the issue at all on my Note 4. I have never used the free version, but you should be able to use the free version for a while to see if you are going to have the issue. Also some of the games from the Play Store and not even the high graphics very extensive graphics, could be causing it or some other app that might cause some issues with it.

I installed a small game the other night and it wasn't some huge, major game and immediately I started noticing a lit of things not going smooth. I knew which app it was, because it started immediately. I uninstalled it and the problem was gone.

On my S5 I had several small "keep me busy" games I would play if stuck waiting, in traffic or riding in the car for a long time. I didn't install all of those back on my N4,so I don't have any idea what app could have possibly been causing the problem.

I have recently installed Weather Timeline. It gives an option for the information source used. The widgets are scalable and transparency can also be adjusted as is background color and font colour . Still verifying the ability to display weather history. My own rainfall data only goes back to 2004. widget blended into desktop

Ps: The "umbrella" warning is adjustable to display a warning ⚠ if the forecasted rain exceeds 20mm. Forecast today was only 4.6mm hence no warning ⚠ but day shows rain.

I just finished adding a a clock to my widget and I think the problem could be one of the following based on my experience:
1- Your phone OS has a bug
2- Google updated some codes that is used to display clock. The old version (DigitalClock) is not supported anymore and it is working on android API 15 and lower. The second version (TextClock) is for android 16+. The app might still uses the old version.
3- The app has its own script for displaying the time and does not depend on any external source. in this case there might be a bug in the app.

Just thinking about this, if you have a cleaning app (I use All-In-One Toolbox), it's possible that every time you use the task killer, it's actually stopping the widget.

Most of them have a white list option so that you can choose certain apps/widgets for it to ignore, otherwise those widgets will "freeze."
