Does no one have a fix for this? Stock lockscreen weather app - location won't set! - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Verizon LG G3, stock unrooted. It is supposed to show weather info on the locksceen or when you close the cover, using the QuickCircle case. The weather info is powered by Accuweather, but when I close the QuickCircle case, it consistently says "Set cities in weather app" and doesn't show any weather info for my phone. Looking at just the lock screen, it doesn't show anything weather related at all.
The location IS set in the Accuweather app and displays correctly on my home screen.
When I go to Settings - Lockscreen - Weather Animation - the check box isn't checked. When i click it, it asks me to add a location. I am prompted to enter a location and do so. But when i do it says that the location "already exists". That is correct - I can see that it exists in the accuweather app on the home screen, however no cities are set for the LOCKSCREEN display of the app..
Its like the lockscreen function of the app can't store or access a saved city...??
I have tried clearing the data for the Weather app, and the LG keyguard app but neither worked.
Anyone have any ideas?

ping... Help please! Someone..???

I'm not sure which is the following instructions resolved the issue, but I now have a location set for my weather on the lock screen. If you too, are having this issue try the following procedure....
1. Remove any weather widgets from your home screens.
2. Clear the cache, and data, and force stop all 3 weather related apps. To do this, go to Settings, application manager, and then flick right until you get to the list of all programs. You should see one called weather, one called weather theme, and one called weather platform. Do this for all 3 apps.
3. Turn on Location. I used the power saving mode and this worked fine.
4. Add the 2 X 1 sized widget to your home screen. Do not add the 5 by 2 widget. Click it, and set your location via the current location button. Do not manually type in a location.
5. Go back to your home screen and verify you have weather data for where you are. Then turn off your screen and verify you have weather data on your lock screen.
Hope this helps!!

turn on location and choose the one with network assist.
turn on wifi.
remove the set city.
then add your hometown and other cities.
if you want weather animations on lockscreen, enable sync.

I had set Google Now as my launcher. To fix this, I reverted back to the LG Home launcher and then tapped the large 4x2 widget which I could see caused it to automatically set to my current location. I was then able to set the weather animation on and change the launcher back to Google Now.
The instructions others provided did not work for me.

Default clock widget on HTC Desire

the clock also has my "supposed" location" just underneath the time.
Is there any way to change the settings on the widget to remove the location as the location is never correct ( i think it may be the location of the phone mast it is using )
Also if i remove the clock widget altogether, how do i get it back as Ive been into Add Widgets and it is not the "Analog Clock" by Andoird or the Clock by HTC
Have you clicked on the Clock by HTC and gone right? Its there.
When you re-add it you can add a City of anywhere, so you can manually choose your own city. Not sure about the name, haven't really looked at that part...
it is the clock by h t c you need to swipe to the right to see the version you're talking about.
when you choose the widget you can choose any location you want

yeah that is it, i thought it was a differen one as it had the weather in it.
Doesn't look there is a way to disable the location

I dunno about disabling location but you can pick your own location instead of it doing it automatically.

I don't need an app to tell me what the weather is right now, where I am right now. I've got five built-in senses that do a pretty good job of working that out, no data connection necessary.
I like the flip clock though.
Related (But not what OP asked). The Defaulted clock the Location was wrong at Arrival obviously. However after changing it into the Right City the weather plugin on the Homescreen now displays the right area (Although lacking the proper letters "å ä ö" are displayed as "a a o" but that's not the problem. Once I hit the weather it suddenly displays the "Current" city seems to be defaulted at "Sweden"... Is there a way to change that Current city or force it so it displays the right things?

Have a look on the market for a flip clock app then or just IGNORE the weather on it.

frozen accuweather still shows up in lock screen

I've frozen all the weather related apps and widgets using Titanium Backup. But I still can go to lockscreen option in settings and toggle on the weather iniformation on lockscreen. Tried to reboot but it seems some hidden app is running to support the lockscreen weather information. I tried to reboot but it's still running. (I don't want to cancel the feather otherwise I can just toggle off the option. I want to change the display to celcius in the display) Can anyone tell me where I can go to that app? Thank you!

[Q] How to put weather widget on lockscreen?

So I learned that it's not possible to ad custom widgets to the lockscreen, but I read somewhere that there should be a default weather widget that shows there. How do I set it up? I can only see the time, I've been looking everywhere in the phone but I don't see the option...
You have to open the weather widget and let it grab your current location and then it will load on your lock screen.

Ok got it, thanks! Pretty basic features though, I wish the lockscreen would accept some other widgets... The default weather widget doesn't even give you more info when you tap it in the lock screen.

I don't know if it matters, but I did notice there are 2 different weather widgets that you can select, I selected the second one in the list that looks like this.
I am guessing it shouldn't matter? But I have no idea why it is not working for you.

Weird, ok I just cleared my weather data, no longer showed temp on my lock screen. Added the first widget to my Nova launcher main screen, and turned on location I have high accuracy set and Location History turned on. The widget says tap to add city, I tap it then get a dialog to use current location i click agree and it tries to find my location. I select my current location from the list. Go to my lockscreen and the Temp is there.

So I got it to work by doing a factory reset. I was not looking forward to repositioning all the apps I had.

Glitch
I'm pretty sure that the AT&T stock version of Android 5.0.1 has a bug with this LockScreen feature. It sometimes works on my lock-screen, but in no way I can access any settings of it in the Show Info - Weather section. I'm using Nova launcher, but the lock-screen is an Android feature, it shouldn't conflict each-other.
Anyone found a solution other than a full factory reset?
The problem with the lockscreen weather is that you can only update it at 1 hour intervals as a minimum. That's way too slow. 30 minutes is max for me for weather updates. 15 minutes would be better.

Lock screen weather widget

I've been having a problem with the lock screen weather clock. Whenever I manually set a location for the weather app, which I do because I don't like turning on location services, the weather clock on the lock screen says there's no weather information. Yet it works fine if I do turn on location services. Is there any way I can get the lock screen weather widget to show my manual set location?

That's how that widget is made. U cannot select the location.
U could ask a dev to tweak it, or just live with it.

Seems pants that you can select it on the home screen widget but not the lock screen one. So looks like its either living with location unavailable or using more battery with location services on.

Weather on the lock screen?

Does anyone know how to enable lock screen weather? I've never had it on the phone, but would like it.
You need a weather app and allow to push news to your lockscreen.
Settings-->Security-->Settings for Lockscreen-->Display all notifications

I mean using Google's weather app. I know you can use accuweather or something, but I'm looking for the native solution like on a pixel.
Add weather widget to home screen on Nokia 6.1 with Android 9.0?
I did a search for weather on Google, and came up with a standard Google weather screen. One of the options is to add widget to the home screen, however when I selected this, nothing happened.
The "At a Glance" preferences for the home screen do not include a weather option. See screenshot.
Before the phone updated to Pie, I believe the weather was part of the "At a Glance" options.
I tried installing Nova launcher, but when I attempted to add the Google weather widget, it didn't work there either. It almost seems as if Google has not coordinated two parts of their operating system to work properly together.
Can anyone else confirm this behavior, or might it be exclusive to Nokia phones?
