Hi,
Yet another strange thing I am having. For setting the weather location in LG's home clock/weather widget I select "current location". Can it really be tru that it does not update likek the HTC weather? I can't use a weather report based on eg. my home address when I travel 100 km for work!

Seems to be a problem, yes because there is no proper configuration...
It's a great widget but it also updates (refreshes) very slowly and this can not be adjusted.
You travel 100km for work!
I also had a problem with changing my location.
The solution was de-install and install the widget again.
Then you can change the temp, location, time whene to update etc..

You can get the that screen after hitting the weather picture on the icon then menu then settings... but it's doesn't have a "follow me" or "update frequency" option as far as I can tell.

No, I can't find any further options. How can You de-install / install something built in the OS? Are You rooted??

Yeah, 104 KM to be exact. Each way...but its 7 days on/off.
your not exactly de-installing it you remove the widget from your screen. hold it and then drag it to the bin. Then you put the widget back.

I have tried this several times but it does still not give me as much options as You state. No update freq. change! And still it does not update on current location unless I manually click inside the widget.
I also just bought the phone so the method is a bit extencive.
what you can do is push on the widget so that if wil onfold.
Then press on the left button next to the home button.
and press options.
You than can change the temp. as in fahrenheit or celcius.
You can also ad multiple locations.
You can't do anything about the auto update.
Use Fancy Widget, there is a fee version on marked works very nice.
Its pitty. This widget is really beautifull, even with animations. Only think which I am missing is refresh rate setting :-( I hope that this can be solved in near future...
yap, the widget its beautiful, can anyone has a fixed in this one, i'm from New Zealand, Daylight saving just began, but the clock of the widget still the same. the actual clock is different to the clock of the widget, even the update is at the button of the widget +1 hour . see picture. thanks

How often does everyones weather update, mine goes for days without updating unless I click the update button.....
Cheers
It won't update automatically unless you tell it to....supposedly
You need to tap on the city name at the top of the plugin, then when the city list is displayed, tap on Menu | Weather Options and make sure the "Download weather data automatically" is checked.
That's the theory at least - mine is ticked and like you, I have to tap on the weather panel on the home screen to get the damn thing to update
There is another option - "Download when roaming", but I've not ticked that box....might be worth a try?
Cheers,
Mark.

Download HTC HOME,
Look at disfanto's cab collection for the hermes. All of them pretty much works on the kaiser, and for more on how to put your own city into the weather database use the search button, since im to lazy too.
Thanks all for the help.... didnt even notice the options menu in the city select.......
I'm using the HTC Flip Clock widget and it automatically updates my location. It was working fine last night and now its not. I'm right now in Woodridge, IL and my flip clock still shows Matteson, IL weather. I know it's not that big of a difference in weather based on 30-35 miles, but I just want it to sync to the correct location. Under "My Location sources", I have use wireless networks and enable gps satellites selected. If this was a pre-existing hero rom issue, please forgive me. I didn't find anything when I searched. Any positive feedback would be greatly appreciated.
why dont you try refreshing it and if that doesnt work then just delete the widgt and then add it again.

open up the main weather app, check the setting, and hit refresh. If its not working than I would say whatever ROM you have has issues with the weather app.
With my flip clock, it doesnt update unless i manually do it. On the next page, i put a full-screen weather widget and hit the update bar at the bottom of the weather widget. this in turn will update the flip clock.
I have enabled widgets on the lock screen (Settings > Security...). From time to time I can see a big + (plus) sign on the lock screen, and by tapping it I am able to pick up a widget. After unlocking and locking again, the widget is gone and there is no plus sign anymore.
Does someone know what causes the plus sign to show up or how to revoke it?

The + sign is showed when you swipe left or right starting from the upper right or left corner of the screen.
I don't know for the rest of your problem, sorry ^^
Widgets don't disappear, they're just on another screen of your lockscreen. Swipe left or right around your clock and widgets you added will show. It's stupid, and it takes more than one try at first, but it is what it is.
You are both right. Now it works, but it is kind of useless.
Thanks anyway.

Isn't that related to the theme? I don't have them either so I can't be sure.
So I know we've just gotten our hands on this phone but is there any way to change the rediculous stacked clock other than a theme? I think the S8 is same so maybe there's an app for this.
Settings>Display then scroll to bottom and you'll see the option for Always on Display, Smart Stay etc.
Not the aod clock, I mean the actual lock screen clock.

I have an S8 Plus and this is what worked for me to get the awful stacked clock off of the lock screen. 1) go to settings, choose the option for Lock Screen / Wallpapers. 2) Choose the option for Information / FaceWidgets. 3) Choose the option for Contact Information. At this point, you can enter your contact info if you want to, but you don't have to. Simply hit the space bar a time or two, and save. You should now have a much better clock when you look at your lock screen.

I just put a weather widget on the lock screen under the clock and that took care of it.

Choose a theme. I know it's a bit of an annoyance, but I changed my theme and it changed the lock screen clock.
If you turn on notifications in settings, lock screen and security, the clock will be horizontal. It could go back to vertical when there are no notifications, but i have viber icon enabled, so there's always one notification active.

I’m not sure this is exactly what you mean, but I figured I would post it and if not you won’t use it. I didn’t liked the digital clock either because it was stacked. I also already have a digital clock in the notification area. So I chose the analog clock and picked a different color as well. This has nothing to do with a theme because I actually set this up and Nova before I looked for a way to get a dark background and found a decent then that worked for me. I hope this helps and it’s what you are looking for. I would’ve answered sooner, but I just noticed this thread. If you meant something else and you haven’t solved it, please let me know.

AOD (Always on Display) is not what I'm talking about. The option your talking about is for AOD not the lock screen clock.

Yes, it was. Like I said, I wasn’t 100% certain exactly what you were looking for. However, that being said, I do have an analog clock on my AOD and a normal digital clock on the lock screen. I think there are only 2 possibles on why that working on my phone:
1.) I have a free theme downloaded and installed because I wanted a black background. I was concerned on doing this because I have my phone setup to look a certain way as I’m sure you do as well. I use Nova Prime and Cobalt Icon Pack. I was afraid that if I installed this it would change what I had set up, but it different. In case you wanted to try it, the name of the theme is Material_Black
2.) The other idea that I have heard that works and ironically I’m using one, is to install a Weather app. I have Transparent clock & weather installed. I also use the a widget from this app on my home screen to show the time, weather, and lots of other stuff. I’ve read from other people mention 2 or 3 other weather apps working as well. So if you’re using a different one, maybe you could try that first.
The reason I am assuming it’s one of these 2 ideas is because I changed my AOD clock to be the stacked version and my lock screen clock didn’t change. It stayed it’s normal digital. So obviously what you have set on your AOD has no bearing on the lock screen. If you try the theme idea, I don’t believe there are any special settings to enable. However, using the weather app may require a specific setting that I’m not sure of. I’ve been using my weather app for years on numerous phones and I really haven’t changed any settings on it other than some aesthetics.
I hope this helped out. If not, I can look again in my phone because obviously something is working on my phone to accomplish what you want. I would also appreciate it if you try these ideas, if you could let me know if it works and which one/specific settings. This way in case I come across other people with the S8/S8+ and Note 8 I can be more specific in helping them. Good luck! I hope one of them work!
Last night we switched to DST (East coast US), now the standard Samsung Weather widget shows the wrong time. Phone system time is correctly auto - updated.
Anyone has an idea how to get correct time in weather widget?

I'm having the same problem on both my Note 8 & my S8+. Both are running beta releases of Oreo.
What version of android are you on?
delete widget and then readd it. and or click on the small arrow circle logo to update it. mine is ok now.
My wife's S8 and my Note 8 are doing the same. I assume it's a bug on Samsung's end.....

Of course I tried all delete-reinstall-update-etc possibilities, no dice..
Guess it will remain this way until Europe switches to DST in two weeks...
I have the same exact problem on my Note 8. It shows the correct updated time though, on the bottom right corner of the widget, but not the big clock. Also when I tried reinserting the widget, it's showing correct clock on the widget preview. But when I apply it, still shows an hour begind.

I tend to agree but on the the other hand, at the core this wouldn't be an issue if the stupid and unnecessary time change would be a thing of the past already. it causes more headaches and issues than it acctualy solves. less than 40% of the countries world wide use DST. it is a testament that it is useless and the world keeps on spinning without it.
its 2018. can we all act like it?
Hahaha I was just having the same issue and this is the first thread I see, gotta love XDA. It's weird because if you clear data/cache the time will be the correct time but if you add your current city it throws it back 1 hour, very odd. Also rebooting the device doesn't help. I said screw it and just started using the 2x3 weather widget instead of the 5x1 weather and clock.

ye ah screw it. Try FU weather
40 hours later and it seems to be fixed. Too many close calls today looking at it and thinking that's the time.
Proper way to fix this is to long press the app widget and go into app info. Force stop. Then Tap storage and clear cache and data. Close everything and do this one more time. Come back and you'll be good to go after you tap the widget to set your city. If you only do this one time it seems to remember something in the cache somewhere.
