Sunset/Sunrise widget does not updates automatically #806

Thanks for the report. I think this is caused by aggressive battery optimization by your specific device. Unfortunately Xiaomi devices have a reputation for this. It might be possible to fix it by following these recommendations, or one of the solutions at https://dontkillmyapp.com/.
Very likely. If widgets fail to update, I'm also betting that alarms/notifications fail too (since both rely on the same underlying AlarmManager). |

Hello, I have the same issue on the Samsung Galaxy a34 5g and not in my old a7(2018), probably the economy battery mode. |
|
I have the same problem with the clock widget, on a Pixel 7 Pro, using GrapheneOS. It was updating fine until just recently. Allow background battery usage is enabled. |
|
@ericjs When you say recent, is this something you would attribute to the The targetSdk was bumped from 25 to 28 recently, while api26 introduces additional background restrictions. I am thinking that the update broadcast itself might actually be blocked (in which case I'm very sorry, I should have caught it sooner). |
|
@forrestguice I wish I could tell you, but I haven't paid close enough attention to updates and don't know if I realized it wasn't updating right away. I can't rule out it having been a GrapheneOS update. Would anything in the logs suggest whether it was or wasn't the update broadcast being blocked? |
|
(When I said the logs, I was thinking there were some logs I'd seen in Suntimes, but I think I the logs I was remembering were in a different app. I spent some time thinking my clock widget was from another Clock app before I figured out it was from Suntimes. So my question about logs probably wasn't very helpful, sorry.) |
|
I suppose I should at least clarify that I am running 0.16.0. And that by "recent" I mean I noticed in the last couple days. I'm just not sure when I got the Suntimes update. |

@ericjs Thanks for the reply. |
assign widget `updateInterval` so that in addition to the normal update loop, the system sends a broadcast every ~6 hours, restoring exact widget update alarms (that may have been killed due to battery opt) (#806)
detect stale widgets (and perform an update) whenever the `ACTION_APPWIDGET_UPDATE` broadcast occurs (#806)
assign package name to widget update intents (so they are explicit) (#806)
assigns `updateInterval` to trigger recovery of stale widgets (#806). * 1 hour: clock, alarm, and sun position widgets * 6 hours: sun and moon widgets * 24 hours: date and solstice widgets

@forrestguice Thank you! |

Thank you for the job! |
Describe the bug
Sunset/Sunrise widget does not update automatically. I need to click it in order to display up-to-date values (I've set to update widget on click).
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior
The widget should display proper values at real time. Like no one expects that a clock requires click on its widget to display correct time...
Screenshots
Version Info:
My question regarding this is whether this affects sunset/sunrise notifications time?
