Missing widgets...

[count123]

I just got my N6 today! I've been going through trying to get things just the way I like them, but I'm not seeing my favorite widgets. i.e. Weather Channel, Audible, Tasks, Brilliant Quotes and Dictionary.com. What am I missing? I'm coming from a S5. I did however find a widget for play music that I didn't have on S5, so that's cool.

Edit. Even downloaded beautiful widgets and it's not showing up.

Many of the widgets that you mentioned were probably Samsung-provided add-ins. With the Nexus 6, you get a stock experience without those types of add-ins preinstalled. If you download the corresponding app that those widgets belonged to (Weather Channel, for example), you should be able to use the widget again.

I've downloaded all the apps mentioned.

And still no widgets?

No widgets. Well, except Tasks, it gives a 1x1. But the one I used on Sammy was 4x2.

I just noticed that you said you installed Beautiful Widgets. If I remember correctly, they stopped development on it and I've seen many people report issues with it when installed on a Lollipop device such as the Nexus 6 including not showing up at all. My suggestion would be to uninstall it and look at alternatives like 1Weather or HD Widgets.

I noticed this too. I just side loaded 5.1 and some widgets I use are gone or missing, (starbucks, yahoo weather, gmail) Some are there but all the variants are missing.

I am noticing its not just an issue with widgets missing, the widget folder isnt updating, if you add a new app that has widgets it doesn't show, if you remove an app with widgets the widgets stay but is bugged. Fixed if you reboot but its annoying.
