Widgets not updating - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Long story short, basically all my widgets freeze and don't respond to touch and don't update.
Everything comes back for a few minutes if I kill the launcher and then they all freeze again.

What ROM? Clean or dirty flash? What launcher? Any other mods, like xposed? You should provide as much information as possible please.

Bone stock. Google Now Launcher.

Stock widgets, or from 3rd party apps?

Pretty much all widgets.

Have you tried booting to recovery and wiping cache partition? That'd be my first recommendation.

Yeah that was the first thing I tried. I did some googling and apparently it's an issue across a wide variety of phones and Android versions.

Chrome on Nexus 7

Has anyone noticed that the chrome browser on the n7 is not as smooth as the chrome browser on the n4? Fortunately for me I have the AOSP browser and use that instead. Its just too bad because I really wanna use chrome as my default browser on my n7.

I think because nexus 7 uses desktop client instead of mobile client on nexus 4. That's why it's slow.

I don't know why people find Chrome on various devices laggy. It's never been laggy with me, sans the early beta builds.
And NO, Chrome on tablets do not use desktop client, it uses a different layout.

Are you on stock?

Chrome works fine for me too, no I don't run stock rom

Agreed on Chrome not being as smooth as AOKP. I notice it the most when scrolling down the pages. I've found Dolphin Beta to be on par with AOSP browser.

I run stock on my Nexus 7, and AOKP on my GNex, and they're both pretty smooth.

I have been considering going back to stock. I'm running PA with the Franco kernel currently.

Stock feels so solid and reliable.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
It does the job. I only use it to look up some stuff once or twice a day, and for that it works fine.
And this is why I am using AOSP browser
It seems to work good for me unless I'm on a site with a lot of pics... ie thechive.com. Aosp browser never has problems tho.

Just use Boat Browser and save yourself the crappiness of chrome

Not yet I don't think, theres more to sense than just the launcher. I'm sure theres a senseless rom somewhere in the works.
Thank you. I like how minimal sense is but the screen is pretty big and I love customizing the heck outta my phones. Having control over things like icons, icon arrangements, and the grids on the screen.

Camera questions

Does this phine have the ability to seperate focus & exposure without having to move to meter.
I or know you can touch to focus & it also takes exposure reading from that area. But can you seperate them either with the stock or third party camera app.,.?
I have got a galaxy s4 & it cant do this. Coming from iOS this is a step back.
I havent been able to find any info about this anywhere online
I am considering swapping my s4 for the one if it can do this.
Thanks

AFAIK, stock camera can't do that.. Both are taken at the same point..

Features lost when using Nova launcher

Can anyone tell me what features we lose by using Nova (or any other) launcher? I know we lose the TouchWiz Widgets, but do we lose any pen features or anything else of consequence?
Thanks.

That's great to hear. I wasn't sure how much of the TouchWiz framework was tied to the launcher.

On Nova launcher you can make a swipe up on the locker icon launch flipboard, so I haven't lost that functionality.

Hmm i'm not using Next Launcher for a while because it is not a need.
I had Slimkat original launcher that comes with the ROM that launcher runs smoothly!
Now i'm back at the moment to Gingerbread Stock ROM and i'm using that launcher smoothly too.
Sometimes are there no need for choosing a launcher from the play store, if you have a good rom.

I have used that launcher too but my phone and i doesn't like Google Apps etc.
So me and my phone were switched back to rom or stock launcher.
Google now is just a kitkat launcher i thought so...
Only the Google integration is a difference...

I currently use Next Launcher on my tablets, just to clarify. I think it would be a little overboard on a phone.
