Widgets no longer work!

Hallo,

 

bei meine neuen Xz1 Compact funktionieren die Widgets nicht mehr.
Wetter, Uhr, ... alles ist weg. Ich hab nur noch meine Apps auf dem Startbildschirm.

Es funktioniert auch nicht, das ich die Widgets wieder auf die Seite ziehe. 

Kennt einer das problem und kann mir helfen?

Hello,

 

with my new Xz1 Compact the widgets no longer work.
Weather, clock, ... everything is gone. I only have my apps on the start screen.

It also does not work, I drag the widgets back to the side.

Does one know the problem and can help me?

Yep I have the same issue three times. I thought there is something to do with Xperia Home Launcher.

The developer of Xperia Home identified the bug, fix is coming in the next update.

Their reply follows:

"We found a bug which we can reproduce.If there is a secure lock on the device i.e. PIN, password or pattern and when starting the device you quickly press back or home just after unlocking, then the system returns an empty widget list, when asked, so the system says that there are no widgets in any app.Home always removes unavailable widgets at startup, in this case all, since they are unavailable (disabled, uninstalled etc), according to the system.We have made a fix for this and it will be available in coming updates."

Had similar troubles trying to put some apps on the home screens. Try using the search tool and drag it onto the screen from there. It seems to work for me

Same problem here,

I found a workaround :

  1. go to "Settings -> Applications & notifications -> Information"
  2. click on "Xperia Home"
  3. click on "Force Stop"
  4. press Home button

Now you can add widgets once gain

My widgets still dissapear. I think I have had a phone/Android update since Sony's reply. But maybe there will still be a Sony update? Love my Xperia!
