Hi Pasha,

Last Thirsday I updated my phone to Android 6.0.1.
I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the following.

I'm using the widget 4x2.
This gives me an overview of the next 5 days and the weather of today.
Under today there are 4 time stamps.
The current time is indicated by a little white dot.

It's the dot that seems to got stuck.
It constantly shows 18:00 hours (I guess, since there is no time displayed where the dot is).
As a result the temperature displayed isn't correct either.

All the other functions seem to work fine.
I can tap anywhere on today or on the forecast to see the weather at that time.
Again the weather and the dot do not follow.
But I can see different weather on the background (wallpaper).

A hard to catch problem.
I was testing this case from yesterday to today - the dot was moving properly and the weather has been updating correctly.

Maybe there's some extra step required to reproduce this error?

Hard to tell Pasha,

I've tried re-installing the widget and restarting the phone, to no avail.

I didn't even notice until now that the whole widget has stopped updating.

If you look at the screenshots from yesterday, you see exactly the same picture as I see on my phone right now.
So the widget "hangs" on last Wednesday (shown as today, vandaag, on my screenshots).

Hi Pasha,

I've tried several re-installs and reboots.
Not one of them helped.

However for some strange reason the last re-install just now did.
I installed a second widget on an empty space on my screen and noticed that it worked as normal.
After some time I removed the old hanging one and replaced it with the new one.

I know there shouldn't be any relation, but al seems to be working fine again.

Thanks for your trouble,
Fred

That's really strange :(
I wish I knew how to repeat this "hanging widget" problem.

I agree and don't know how to repeat it either.
Should I find a way I'll let you know.
