Note 3: Clock widget freezes

[Chucky1]

Maybe it's that particular BeWeather widget (I never use that one), I just use the 1x by 1x and use HD widgets for a large clock (more options). Good luck with Pflunger (BeWeather developer).....LOL

I've tried all of the widgets over time, everyone of them froze.
Lol...

I feel your pain. My Note 3 widgets will stay updated for anywhere from a day to a few days and then freeze all at once. Weather and clock, though I've managed to find two that don't. The Weather Channel widget and Rainbow Alarm Clock Widget both work without being affected. I, too, am a BeWeather Pro user and it got so bad I had to stop using it altogether. So I tried GO Weather EX Widgets. They worked for a little while, like I said, and would freeze too. I've tried so many weather and clock widgets on my Note 3 I lost count. With 4.3 they would stop within Hrs or wouldn't start at all. After the KitKat update, I added the BeWeather Pro and GO Weather EX back on to see if there'd be any change and was hopeful at first until they stopped at exactly the same time about 36 hrs later. However, rebooting gets them going again so while it's a PITA, they are working anywhere from a couple days up to just over 4 days is the longest, so I guess it could be worse.
I stopped by the Samsung Hub @ Best Buy about my son's s4 active & when asked how I liked my Note 3 I said I loved it except for... and he finished my sentence with 'your widgets not updating'. So obviously they are aware and/or have been getting a lot of complaints and requests for help. I asked for the solution, but he said as of right now there isn't one yet. He said he wasn't sure if it was going to be up to each Dev to figure out & release an update for all the widgets it affects or if there'll be a patch for KitKat. Whichever it is, it can't come soon enough for those of us having these issues. ;'(

I have exactly the same problem with the Galaxy Note 4. The clock widget freezes. If I remove and re-add the widget to a screen, it never comes up, the space where it should be is blank. If I reboot the phone, it then works (for a week or so).

I dont have any battery saver apps or similar.

the time which comes up before you swipe your finger IS working.

Hello i know this is an old thread but i have the same problem on my note 3 for months now, I tried task killers, New Phone, different clocks, weather programs, but same problem and i had to reset my phone. The only way to keep my clock widget from freezing was to delete my other widgets and my other home screens down to 1 and so far no problems with 1 home screen. I had a lot of widgets 3X EWeather, 1x Rain Alarm, 7 (2x1) IP Cam snap shot widgets,calendar and Beautiful Widgets clock. The only thing that confused me was my girlfriends Samsung S3 had most of the same widgets on her ph and it didn't effect it.. so im also still looking for a fix

I haven't had any issues with the weather widget on kitkat, but I just updated to lollipop and now my widget is failing pretty regularly. Anyone else running into this on lollipop?

I no longer have the Note on AT&T but I have one on Verizon and it does the same thing. Some days are worse than others.
