Hello,
I am enjoying the Hero builds but I have a "request" at anybody who can help me/us:
I would like to use the HTC weather widget but it does not seem to update for about 4 hours or more.
It would be great when it would update hourly so I would not have to start the weather app which always delays the loading of the home screen so I have a lag about 10 or more second ...
Is it possible to change the update frequency somewhere in the app?
Do you know why there is always the com.htc.dcs.impl & com.htc.dcs.stock running when using the weather widget?
Would be really great if you could help me with this update thing, thank you.
Why dont you just update it manually? I think on the bottom of the weather widget if you click on the little bar it should update. I cant be 100% sure on this cause I'm on cyan 3.6.5. Please someone with hero correct me if im wrong.
neone notice tht the flip clock widget is only slow when weather is enabled..so when u install hero n u got no wifi its without weather so its fast....neone know how to make it flip clock w/o weather ?

Yes, you are right when you use the biggest widget which needs a full homescreen.
But when you use the two smaller widgets (I have it on to left at my main homescreen) there is no button for update - so the only possibility is to change the config somewhere I think?
Has really no one any idea?

I believe the only to have the flip clock with out weather is to not have the weather set up for your location. Correct me if I am wrong. I have seen the clock without weather after using the hero roms and was puzzled because I had no weather. I set it up and it appeared. The opposite thing should work for you.

i think the only way to get the flip clock without weather is to not have your clock set up
let me elaborate
when u select the clock app you have cities set up right?
like i have atlanta on there
and then u also have the timzone clock and the extra clock i always have that shows up which is gay but w/e back on topic
when u select the flip clock from htc widget screen it asks u to select a city
if u select current city (not an actual city name) the weather wont show up on the clock
thats the only way i can get the clock without weather
hope it helps :-D
JUST install the weather widget from the market it contains the clock from hero and the weather...works on the Cynaogen build...1.49 from market but works good...

yes, but I know how the weather is at my current location - also it does not update automatically ...
if you want a flip clock without weather, try retro date (and clock) from market

Maybe it works like the flip clock/ weather widget. When I wanted to change the frequency (update interval) the only way I could find was to drag the widget to the trash bin and then re-launch it from the home screen (like most widgets) then it asks for location and update frequency like a fresh install.

hmm - the HTC Weather or flip clock widget does not ask for the frequency ... I think it must be in the file / apk - but where & how?
I'm looking for a flipclock without weather on it as well....
Solved the update frequency issue if you're still wondering about it.

I can't seem to find three default android clock widget and the market us flooded with crap. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Unfortunately Samsung didn't include any stock Android clock widgets. They did include the Nexus One live wallpaper though, so go figure. I recommend throwing down for Beautiful Widgets, it's like $1.90 and can do amazing things.
"Weather and toggle widget" $1.99.
I've always liked the "Sense" flip clock and this is satisfies my taste.
I use one that's just called Digital Clock Widget by Maize. Just a really simple digital time with the day under it. Can be a 1x2 or a 1x4 widget. Not TOO much customization, but it definitely does the job well.
What's wrong with the Samsung Clock Widget that comes with the phone?
I am using Retro Clock.

I really like this app too, plus it has many downloadable skins you can get for the clock and weather.
Fancy Widget is nice and free (but i can't post a link since i'm a newbie)
lol, no one knows how to get the default clock widget. I'm surprised. To me that was one of the trademarks of android. That big clock widget on the G1
And has anyone figured out how to remove the clock from the status bar on the top? I did a search, but nothing turned up. . .

predator clock widget 1x4 setting is awesome .u can change colors to match ur wallpapers very cool ul love it and its free in the market
It is is not a simple clock widget, but Fancy Widget Pro is da bomb!
I use "animated analog clock" by DNS project. It has seconds hand! 99% of clocks have no seconds! Is it really that hard to makes clock shows seconds??
I like Simi Clock Widget. Clean appearance, can launch multiple apps by tapping, and its free.
Fancy Widget Pro is the best out there for clock and weather. Has so many skins and new ones every day!

I've been looking for a Android digital clock with "seconds" since I left WM Not sure why we don't have any....
I love the SenseUI clock widget....is there something just like it?? Preferrably one that shows the date too
Have a look at "Beautiful Widgets". They have a theme-able clock which looks similar.

Weather widget donate version looks good and had a whole bunch of skins...
My phone's been flashed more than Girls Gone Wild...
I've got both fancy widget and Beautiful widgets. Both can be set to look like sense however I prefer beautiful widgets because it has more skins and programmable options such as you can choose what apps to open when tapping the weather, clock and date. I have mine set to open my weather bug pro, alarm and calendar similar to the sense UI
Is there any way, any where to get the Fancy Widget anymore? I'm guessing its been taken down...

IMHO Fancy widget is as close as you can be to Sense. BW or WW are off as far as I like. BW is too close to edges and WW is a bit too low within widget.

So far I'm using Fancy Widget, and Widgetsoid.
Here's a list of the widgets I'm using or have used:
Beautiful Widgets tablet beta

Weatherbug Elite
Express News
Elixir is the one I'm using at the moment for all power control options, and Beautiful Widgets Tablet for my weather widget.

Do all the Elixir buttons work? I tried the Sound toggle as well as Reboot of Widgetsiod, but neither seem to work.
I haven't tried the reboot toggle, but the sound/mute toggle works well.
Im still trying to find a good RSS widget.
Scrollable News widget is great for RSS feeds. You do need a launcher that supports scrollable widget, such as LP or ADW
I use WeatherBug on my phone and love it but it FCs on my gtab. Instead I use The Weather Channel's widget, it works well and with the largest version it shows plenty of information.
For my RSS needs I'm currently using Google Reader but am not always happy with it. I wish Reddit is fun had a widget.
I also use the stock Power widget.

It's VT Launcher and I used the LauncherProIcons app to get the LP style icons, and bettercut to apply them. The rest is CM7 with the honeycomb status icons addition.
Widget failed to load
How many widget users have the issue of a widget failing to load after a few days, the only solution being dump the widget and reload it.
Not a big issue, just wondering if it is a launcherPro issue (my default) or a modded gtab issue. LauncherPro native widgets seem to do better.

Hi manikin13,
I havent really had issues unless Im messing around with the settings on my launcher. Im using VTL.Launcher and when i changed the dock background settings some widgets went squirrley. I would say its your launcher. Maybe uninstall and reinstall might fix it.
if anyone needs a good news widget, AtomaRSS is definitely one of the best
It looks like the weather part of the old GenieWidget (News and Weather) gave up the ghost this past week
I guess the API finally changed for weather.com or the Weather Channel or where ever it came from. Anyway....I was using the weather widget for my homescreen. As clunky as it was, it also seemed sort of "right" for the NST. It didn't have a lot of microscopic information that you could not read and was just about the right size.
I'm currently trying out the unofficial NOAA app from the PlayStore but I'm not liking the widget too much. I've seen WeatherBug mentioned in the forum but the current version does not allow for manual location entry and the search function, like that of the old Market app, does not work (in fact the interface looks exactly like that for Market...).
So....does anyone have a weather widget they like?

Try Gismeteo Lite!
I haven't tried its widget on my Nook since I removed desktop-like launcher. However it states Android 2.0+, so it should work.
If you don't like it, there is a handful of weather widget apps sorted on 4pda forum.

Thanks for the tip! I've been trying out Aix but the little hourly graph is pretty silly as a weather widget. I like the looks of the Gismeteo widget except for the "+" sign in front of the temperature. I'm sure that's meaningful somewhere but it's not here and looks a little silly. Still, I'll see if I get used to it. Meanwhile I'll have a look at the list.
And the winner is.......
Weather Ace!!!! Amazingly complete little app, lots of customization options (fonts, "colors", backgrounds, transparency, etc.), a variety of different size/complexity widgets, different icon sets, different weather data providers (even a place to enter a WUnderground API key!). Very nice
The current market version is for Android 2.3 and up. I found the attached older version quite by accident while searching for weather widgets for Android 2.1.
Enjoy!

100% agree. I have a Nook setup solely as a weather station, using Weather Ace widgets to give me a handful of different temperatures and forecasts. It's pretty accurate, and with the right set of icons looks really nice on the Nook greyscale screen.
