If a widget (such as a Clock or Battery monitor) lags or stops updating, the issue is usually with the Android System, not the launcher. Go to the device's Android Settings > Apps, locate the app providing the widget and ensure that app is excluded from “Battery Optimization” or “Deep Sleep” features of the device.

• There may be horizontal black lines visible (intermittently) on either side of the icon whether in an App Drawer, App Drawer (Pager), or others. See an example here . This is frequently caused by the Label text having more characters than the line properly handles.

• Solution:
  • Use less letters in the label line
  • Change the font size
  • If using 1 label line set the label line to 2
  • If using >2 label lines, try reducing the number of label lines by 1

AA recent purchase of a lifetime subscription to Total Launcher is not reflected on the device with features not being available.

• Solution:
  • Clear Google Play Store cache on the device (Device settings > All apps > Google Play Store > Storage & cache > Clear cache)

This is a known issue and several Bug Reports have been submitted, but it continues to exist. The launcher's developer has not responded about the cause but some discussions have suggested it is related to the OpenWeather API limitation imposed on Total Launcher. Workarounds offered:

• Portrait/Landscape Mode Switch - as of this writing it has been verified that physically changing the devices orientation from portrait (vertical) to landscape (horizontal) causes an update.

• Launcher Action - Reset Home - It has been suggested this can be accomplished by using Reset Home which causes the launcher to refresh, but it also resets the launcher to that “home page”.

  This has been tested but it fails whereas the portrait/landscape switch does work. This is most likely due to Android treating User Interaction (rotating, clicking, swiping) as a high-priority and internal calls from launcher activities now have greater restrictions. Bottom line: Android limitations.

To resolve this visual glitch try this:

1. Main menu > Launcher Options > UI & Animation > Enter Animation > Set to “System default”
2. Do NOT use “No animation”

This has worked many times in preventing the “flashing” of old background images.
