      @gtrabison said in Widgets doesn't update.:

      My device is a Samsung A53 with One UI 6.0.

      I can confirm the exact same situation on Samsung M54 with One UI 5. Widget had been refreshing forever, and Windy the top app in battery usage. After uninstalling battery back to normal. Thanks.

      Edit: as I've been using windy for quite some time and have followed last year's widget issues, I can confirm all permission were set as expected. Re-adding the widget or reinstalling the app sometimes fixes the issues for some time. Even removing the widget, the high battery usage remained, so I've uninstalled for now.

        Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, Android 14, OneUI 6. Confirming the same. The Widget stopped working and there was a huge battery drain, so I removed the widget, but Windy is still a huge drain on the battery - see the attached screen grab.

          @gsallman Except this software won't let me attach a screen grab... so here's a link to the image on Dropbox.

          I don't know how the OS / phone calculates these figures, but 5 hours of CPU and 7 hours of GPS for an app that's running in the background, with just 2 minutes of screen time, seems excessive.

            I did some more research in my phone's records. Prior to the update Windy's battery usage was less than 1% per day. After the update it's running at 15-20% per day.

            [edit to clarify that it is the battery usage that increased]

              I am experiencing the same issue on an iPhone 11 Pro Max running the latest iOS version 17.

                  @ToniSR There is a certain progress on the end of development, but it will still take some time, unforutnately.

                    @Suty as per my posts above again on a Saturday and at 6:10am (GMT) the widgets stop updating, however I'm not suffering battery drainage like others. When I click the widgets or open the app it works just fine, just the widgets not updating so the only cure is a complete restart of the phone.

                          @ToniSR We are testing the new version with potential fix. Hopefully, it will be a solution in a few days.
