No root, no "debloating"
At some point--don't know when; maybe post-nougat--HTC's weather app stopped getting location. If I go into the app from its widget to set the location, typing a city doesn't show up on the list.
Location access is enabled for the weather app, which I downloaded from apkmirrors (couldn't get it from play store).
Actually, doing the following may have fixed it:
1. Remove updates from the weather app and/or clear data
2. Go to the weather app (not the widget) and set the location: note that I could not do this before manually installing/updating the app via apkmirrors
3. Should be set
Does this also fix the location update problem in the lockscreen?
My lockscreen widget seems to be updating fine so far (was not working before this fix)
I have a similar problem in that the time and weather widget will not automatically refresh or update the current weather after Nougat. If I manually go into the settings and unclick and reclick the Refresh when opened and the Auto update weather boxes, it will update the weather to current status on the home screen; but it has to be done manually. Strange.
PS - I am bone stock except for HTC updates.
Thanks - worked me. Clock widget and lock screen now showing weather and location. Weather app was disabled after Nougat update.
For me it doesn't work when in battery saver mode. When saver is off it just works as it should. I think it's kind of intended.
You can check the permissions.
(Settings). In search find App-permissions. Scroll down to location and check for weather.

I have the stand htc weather app, i was one of the first to get the htc desire a fair number of weeks ago now, and i have been in birmingham uk for a while, with the weather app on the main screen ( the joint widget with the clock) fine.
However i recently came back to uni in Leicester, and the weather will not download, just say its unavailable. I can add Leicester as a location on he weather and that loads fine, but "under current location" weather tab will not load.
Any suggustions? I hope i explained myself clearly .

This ia a known issue. Try adding your city and then in the widget options pick that city instead of the current location and see if that works. You could also try downloading the Weather Bug app, its accurate and doesn't use as much battery power as the htc widget.
Thanks for advicing.
Basically i want to keep the main htc clock, with the weather app joint so when i unlock the phone i get the nice weather animations. However i cant see the htc clock on my widget list anymore so i cant add it or change settings etc..
I can add another seperate weather widget but looks ugly i think.
Hope htc get a fix soon!
A fix,
Just been fiddling about with the phone and found a fix for my problem.
You have to remove the htc clock, then go to add > widgets > clock (htc) > then click the clock with the weather > then you get settings of where you want weather to be from > add city> where you are.
This is ok if i dont move around much, which i do, so i just had to save this as a seperate profile, and i can swop profiles when i move around to make weatehr current location.
simple.
Hope this helps
this initially happened with the gosms widget where it doesnt refresh everytime i get a new sms. i reinstalled gosms and it still had the problem. and now even the clock widget of sonyericsson and the other widgets likr goweather, the date widget doesnt refresh anymore. how do i go about this? are you also having the same problem?
How about Timescape? You can use it to see the messages
I don't use timescape. It's not too private.
Anyway, it's not the issue though.
Even the clock widget (stock SE's digital clock) sometimes don't refresh with the time showed in the status bar. Even the weather widget etc.

ever since the 2.3.3 update ive had the same issue, particularly with the clock. its always out of sync. tried stopping home, reloading the widgets etc, nothing seems to work and its completely random
I'm still with 2.3.2.
I tried using GoLauncherEx and so far they are working fine. But it still happens.
I have noticed that the widgets don't refresh when I'm using the default SE home..
Can someone help me with this?
I've discovered this to be a reproducible (but not solvable) problem. This might be an Android prob, as there are one or two other short threads on this site for other phones. For me it looks like the common thread is an incoming call while using an app. But fixing it... who knows?
I have been able to reproduce it three times:
1. after a week using my Arc, a new clock widget stopped updating except when foregrounded, and not until the next minute ticked over. I also noticed a weather widget wouldn't update reliably.
2. after two months without a solution, i completely reset the phone. All good. While playing a game, I received a call. Afterwards, the widgets wouldn't refresh except as above.
I deleted an unrelated widget because I didn't need it, and (perhaps coincidentally) the other widgets started refreshing properly.
3. a week later, I received a call while using the calendar app. Widgets no longer refresh, except as above. I haven't been able to find a fix this time. Tested widgets like the stock digital clock show the same problem.
If u hav installed beautiful widgets then..
Well after lots of trial and error.. the only solution i found is..
1. uninstall beautiful widgets animation
2. clear data beautiful widgets from settings - apps - beautiful widgets
3. uninstall beautiful widgets..
Living without beautiful widgets is better than facing that refresh problem..
Fix launcher lag
This method worked on my SE Arc S (.42). You need to have root access.
1) Open the following file: /system/build.prop
2) Add this to the end of the file and save it: ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
3) Reboot.
Hope it helps.
Hello everyone,
I'm using Android Revolution 6.3.2, S-Eng off a.s.o.
I am trying to add a custom weather location, but I don't know which database to edit in WPDB.zip. I tried to add the location to WP_040EHUN, WP_0407GER and WP_0409WWE so far without success, my phone won't find the new location, which is in Hungary btw. Accuweather.com shows it and all fields I added in the database seem correct, and yet nothing.
Also, does the clock/weather widget only work with current location setting? Because as soon as I disable current location, it doesn't show the weather anymore.
The Weather application still shows and updates the location even after I turn off current location, yet it doesn't show it in the list.
The News & Weather application does the same as the Clock/Weather widget (if current location is off, it doesn't show the weather, it says "no available location").
I suspect this has something to do with Sense rather then the ROM, but anyhow any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
You are right it is a sense issue. I got fed up of the sense weather widget and now use HD widgets or Beautiful widgets. You can make both of them look almost identical to sense and the location works perfectly.
It's quite an easy edit, its the wee one. Once in the db set your lat/long, and name it whatever you want. Then in the weather app and clock, select what you named it in the db.
I'll have a search for the info, and post the link.

But the whole point of it is to tell you the weather where you are at that moment. That edit is OK if your never leave your own backyard.

Yeah, but what if I don't want Google to know where I am at any given time? I mean, I'm not paranoid, don't have anything to hide either and I like Android, but I'm trying to let it invade my privacy as less as possible.
Hi,
New to the forum, I've had my S9 plus (UK) for a few days now but I'm having issues with the weather apps.
BBC weather does not work at all, as soon as it's launched it closes and it shows an error message.
AccuWeather seems to work but the widgets are not working for it. I normally have an widget on my home screen but it as soon as I put the widget on it just freezes and shows the same error.
Are there any issues or any solutions to this?
Thanks!
seems maybe like permissions problems - if you dont allow permission to each app to track your location - they will not work - id go in the app management and check permissions for each app
Thanks mate!
It was a permissions issue on both apps, had to allow permissions to location and clear cache and they started working.
Its about strange as soon as I installed the BBC weather app and opened it, it would crash, I thought the app would automatically request permission but didn't get to that stage. Had to manually allow permissions in the app settings.
Thanks again mate, really appreciate it. Hopefully this will help other people.
accuweather crashes all the time on s9+
Stock F3, stock ROM. I'm using the google widget that displays date/weather. You can click on the date to have google agenda, or click on the weather to open google weather.
But sometimes, the weather disappear, only the date stays, and clicking on it does nothing.
I tried removing widget and reset google cache etc, set google/launcher to not be in the battery saving settings, rebooting, etc.
Only way I found to remake it work is to clear all data of the launcher, but it removes all apps from screen, background, etc, it's fastidious...
Anyone has a solution?
For me too. ^^
But you can make a Homescreen shortcut to Google Weather
