I have the widget on my home screen and it used to show the accurate times but recently it doesnt refresh or show the right times. When I click on the actual app its up to date with everything. Anyone else having the same issue?

I did at first but then I realized it was because of my task killer. Once I added it to the ignore list I never had that problem again.

Did you get a fix for this? I can't locate any kind of task killer & I am having the same issue. Please help.

I also have the same problem, It does not update, and ever since I changed what icons were on the widget, i got two of the same one (breastfeeding one) and it has never gone away. Anyone have a solution for this???

I told my task killer to ignore the app and it still does not update the widget very often. Also, can I change which icons are on the widget?

yes you can change the icons on the widget. the first four icons will be on your widget to change these just touch and hold the icon you want to change and it will pop up with options

Any other suggestions for the widget not refreshing? Mine still does not refresh very often and I made sure that my kill app is ignoring it.

Running version 1.6.3, and the widget still does not refresh most of the time. I have no task killer apps installed. (Sort of defeats the purpose of a widget, eh?)

Same here. 1.6.4 and the widget refreshes only sporadically. No task killers, DroidX.
