I flashed O clean yesterday.
So far so good.

I am noticing though that some widgets dont work and wondered if anyone else is having issues?

Calendar and Keep will not load any info.
Keep is a dark grey box and Cal just says loading.

The apps work otherwise.

Thanks

Widgets not working for me either

I'm running O, and I normally use beautiful widgets pro ( for the clock) and it doesn't work. The clock on the widget does not keep time with the phone. I chatted with a google rep. he said it was because I downloaded the beta version. I don't think that's it. I've loaded 3 different clock widgets and none work. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks

I dont use that app for widgets so i have no experience.

However have you disable battery optimizations on that app or widget?
I dont know how it presents itself but it sounds like it is being put to sleep to save battery which would result in tht sort of performance.

just a thought

I noticed the same thing happening on the Pixel 2 all calendar widgets don't load anything. And if I try to click on them to add calendars they just crash. Funny thing is this doesn't happen with Google calendar :confused:

I have the same issue on my Pixel XL in Aviate. The Wunderlist widget only populates on time in ten. Very annoying. Worked fine on my 6P running the same 8.0.
