Re-add the widgets (it has worked with two of the loading widgets, but not with the others)
Clear the cache
Re-Reboot
Uninstall and reinstall the problematic apps
August 20 update: the problem seems to have solved itself by just waiting?
Since I last commented on this post I haven't rebooted my phone or attempted to re-add my widgets. Today I tried again, just to see if something has changed, and they actually loaded after a few seconds. I suppose it's fine like that.
have you tried turning it off and on again again again?
I tried twice, once with the reboot option and once powering it off for some minutes to let it rethink its life choices. Needless to say that it didn't work.
I had a phone do that once, turns out the phone casing was pressing thebvolume button and my phone booted in safe mode wich disable installed apps.
But in that case I wouldn't be able to use any app, would I?
No only system apps.
I can use everything normally (except for LibreTube that today decided not to load any video, but I don't think it is relevant here), so I guess it's another problem. BUT, just in case, how did you solve?
Forced it out (normal depressed position) with a razor blade and cleaned it with rubbing alcohol.
Have you tried reinstalling the relevant apps?
I prefer to keep it as plan Z since there would be many password recoveries and backups (and hope that I can also backup settings) to do. If I haven't solved it in a couple of days, I'll try that.
Edit: I tried to uninstall an app that needed no backup, but the widget is still invisible. Also, some system apps' widgets don't work either and I can't uninstall those.
Just wondering, are you using the stock launcher, or 3rd party...?
