I never use Location service or GPS, unless specifically running Navigation with Maps, other than that, it's always off to save battery life.
The lock screen is killing the look and feel of this phone for me. The lock screen wallpaper seems very dark, and that weather thing showing "unavailable" is always shown. Samsung, and everyone else allows the weather to be set manually by imputing a specific city name or zip code, why does HTC need the location service enabled to do the weather ? Plus why is the lock screen so dark, compared to the home screen wallpaper ? it's like 75% darker on the lock screen.
Plus it's also hard to keep a specific wallpaper set on the lock screen, seems to be if you change the home screen wallpaper, the lock screen changes to the same.
I wish we could just keep it simple like CM13

For one if you want the weather displayed you need to check Auto detect my location, you can set the update schedule. Don't use Location or GPS oh well.
The lock screen is an ovelay so the pin/number keyboard can be seen on any wallpaper, it has always been like that, its dark for a reason.
If you make you own theme, you can set each wallpaper for home screen, apps screens, app drawer, messages and lockscreen.
Wait for a partially working CM13 ROM.

The blurry/discolored wallpaper on the lockscreen is really irritating and I cannot figure out a way to fix this. I understand the ripple effect is whats causing the issue and disabling it will fix it but I don't like the standard unlock, to big and weird looking. I am actually a fan of the ripple but every wallpaper that I use looks terrible with ripple enabled.
Any roms or other Ideas on how to clear this up? Does this lockscreen wallpaper glitch affect everyone or just some of us?
this one works perfectly on mine
u have to set it to really see it
I noticed this too and it was really bothering me.
The only solution I found was to:
1) Disable the ripple effect in Settings->Lock Screen->Lock Screen Options
2) Go back to the home screen and set your lock screen wallpaper
3) Go back to the Lock Screen Options and re-enable the ripple effect.
Then you should have a nice clear photo in your lock screen with the ripple effect fully functioning. Let us know if it works for you too.

Not working, can you go more in-depth in the step by step or is it not guaranteed to work?
Go to security, and uncheck allow widgets on lock screen. Thats it there is no black screen, and display is immediate. Hope this helps others
Is there any developer's working on a better weather edge panel than Samsung's? Samsung's leave a lot to be desired.
Looking for something along the lines of; auto refresh when swiping to the weather panel with a tiny circle refresh symbol, 30mins and up auto refresh, weather notifications with a small picture what it's related to, a picture that runs through the panel of what current conditions are like, and have a dedicated app if you click the panel to bring up a homepage of everything ..like Yahoo's weather app.
This would be available in the Samsung store so everybody could enjoy it.
Is this asking to much?

give a look at this.
Or Gismeteo ....
That thermometer panel rarely works.
Sure, gismeteo is really good!
Anyone know how to remove the dark overlay on the lockscreen so I can view the full brightness of my wallpaper?
Thanks

As far as I know, you cannot.
There is 1 way to make it less dim, set a wallpaper for the Lock screen:
Settings > Personalize > Edit current theme > Lock screen wallpaper.
If you select the same wallpaper as that for the home screen, you'll notice the diming is less.
Same issue, it piss me off. Better is enemy of good, why htc didn't leave it as it is?

Thanks for tip. Unfortunately, it looks like I cannot select my live wallpaper as my Lock screen wallpaper if I try to do it that way. I use 500 Firepaper and it shows beautiful images and it's unfortunate that the lockscreen image is so dark.

Agreed. Or at least add in a setting that allows us to toggle it off-on.
So ever since I have had my 6 pro I notice that when I have a black wallpaper or a dark colour set the top last maybe centimetre from across the top of the display washes out/ fades out Into grey and I have noticed that changing between different colour profiles either makes it less apparent or more worse. I'd like to think it's software as I don't think it's doing it anywhere else but the home screen but I could be wrong.
I think this is a thing to show the QS panel, we had a bug on the betas where there was a line up at the top of the screen to show it too. IIRC that one occurred only on lockscreen though.
That's actually part of the pixel launcher. I hate it with a passion. My mod, which is available now, removes it by default. If you are not rooted you have to use a 3rd party launcher. If you are rooted but don't want to use my mod you can edit the image. Its called workspace_bg.9.png.
