Widgets Freezing - Not Updating

[asiano]

I purchased a Nexus 6 phone about 9 months ago and installed many widgets. My software is up-to-date and AT&T is my carrier.

Everything was working fine until approximately 5-6 weeks ago when the widgets began freezing multiple times per day requiring a reboot to reactivate. When the widgets freeze - everything else works fine. I have gone through several exercises trying to determine the cause to no avail. I've removed all of the widgets and reintroduced one at a time, but can't pinpoint any one widget as being the issue. I currently use the following widgets: Weather Channel, The Score, Google Now, Calendar, Gmail and Flipboard.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as this is very frustrating and widgets are one of my favorite features.

I assume you've tried soft resets. Have you cleared your cache? Just a good thing to do every now and then either way.

Yes, I've tried soft resets. I cleared all of my cache once and that seemed to help for about 1 day, but then the widgets froze again.

Could be background applications. Too many running and taking up all your RAM.

Have you already checked each widget for instructions re. update problems?
