Weather Widget - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

So just wondering if anyone has any thoughts as to why out of no where my weather widget and unlock screen have started to not show the weather. It's happening kind of consistently... Any thoughts?

Try manually refreshing the weather by tapping on the widget and pressing menu.

Yeah I do that when I unlock it but when just hitting the unlock button to see the temp on the lock screen its showing no weather available... Major annoyance

Getting that too. I think it happened once when I drove outside city limits so the 4g changed my location and didnt update the weather settings. Weather settings for me only refreshes when I tap the weather icon, otherwise, it just stays the same on the lock screen hahah xP

Weather on clock not updating.
I have the weather app set to update hourly and to update when opened. However, whenever I wake the Vivid, the weather does not update unless I tap the weather and go to the full weather app. There I have to manually update the qweather. On my old HTC HD2, I rarely had this problem. It normally updated.
At work, I normally keep WiFi on. I now wonder if the WiFi interfers with or stops the radio connection and if the radio connection is needed for weather updates.

I have no problems with the weather lockscreen widget. I transfer often between Wi-Fi and 3g (or 4g as the phone says) daily.

I used to have this problem. I went to setting to enable weather sync. Problem solved.

Lock Screen Weather Bug?

Sorry for the probably stupid question, but I don't seem to be able to get the AccuWeather Widget on the lock screen to update the location. It keeps showing the same city, even when I am hundreds of miles away. I turned on the GPS, rebooted, enabled/disabled weather on lock screen, etc... Anybody have any ideas?
The phone is not rooted and has a stock ICS ROM.

Anybody?
click on the widget and it opens a dialog where you need to search for your city. After choosing it you'll get the weather updates
Thanks, but it still shows the same city, even though I am almost 400 miles away.
I'm in Vienna, Austria and it shows Gaudenzdorf.
Widget works ok. The only problem is location on lock screen.
I think it's a bug.

Lock Screen Clock Bug 4.2.2

Does anyone else have this problem with the clock on the lock screen after the 4.2.2 update? Every other power cycle, it looks really different. Also when rotated, it looks normal. Yes I know the normal look is hours in bold and minutes in regular font, but this is something completely different. Yes I searched xda and google and could only find people having issues with the bold font. FWIW, I used adb sideload to install the update. Video below.
I'm seeing the same thing on my Nexus 4. When I turn the screen on the time is offset to the right and the hours are not bold. If I cycle the screen off and on again its back to normal.

I am using Dash Clock now. Way better than the standard lock screen.

Interesting. I haven't updated my N4 to 4.2.2 but I see no issues with it in 4.2.1. The N7 did not have this issue on 4.2.1. either. Anyone else having this issue? Maybe I need to reflash the update?

I wouldn't mind using another widget on my lock screen, but since I am connected to my companys exchange server, I need to put in a password which effectively locks me into using the stock clock widget. I am looking for a fix to this issue as it is bugging the crap out of me.
So I did some more testing and found out the bug only occurs if I have my MS Exchange account linked. If I remove the account the bug disappears. I tried this with every screen lock option (minus face unlock).
MountainDrew, are you also using the Email App for MS Exchange?
Noticed this as well, but I use deskclock as my main widget, so it doesent really mater

Someone has already started a bug report on this issue. Seems as it is 4.2.2 specific and not just device specific.

I have been using HD Widgets lock-screen widget for a long time but Dash Clock has definitely better usage.
Though HD Widgets has a beautiful look and more customization options..
Just personal preference. I personally just really dislike the way HD Widgets and Beautiful Widgets look.
Sorry guys but this thread is not a discussion about different widgets. Another bug report on google code has this issue correlated to the lock screen widget set by device administrator policy. This means the lock screen widgets are frozen and not changeable so any alternatives are essentially useless.

So you're saying the replacing lock screen clock with DashClock isn't possible, and those of that did must be imagining it?

Did you read any of my posts or the bug report at all? It is clearly explained that lock screen widgets are frozen if you have device adminstrator policy set (usually by a MS Exchage Server if you want to access work email). If I remove my MS Exchange account, I can do whatever I want and this bug goes away.

No. It's a pretty silly bug. Considering how awful the stock lock screen clock is, I would consider it an improvement.

Again, I do not have the option to change my lock screen widget because I use MS Exchange for work. I'm stuck with the stock clock widget and this bug is annoying. I would honestly rather have the weather there instead, but again...I am stuck with the stock lock screen because of my work email. Silly bug or not, it needs to be fixed.

I understand that. I'm saying I'd rather have the bug than having the awful bold font stock clock all the time.

I have changing clock too. But if i enable lockscreen widgets again (app lockscreen policy) it is working fine. So im pretty sure its because of lockscreen policy (deactivated lockscreen widgets)

on my home screen it's a translucent black background, like the calendar. want it transparent like stock clock

Music lockscreen issue

I've decided to use the music lockscreen as it allows instant access to my music when getting in the car etc.
However, earlier today it decided to freak out - I'd wake the phone up, the screen would come on then go out and repeat this cycle for a while until defaulting to the standard lockscreen.
However, in the options, music lockscreen was still selected. Turns out none of the specialist lockscreens are now working. All i can ise is either default or no lockscreen.
Any ideas for a cause/solution?

might be as simple as turning the phone off an back on
I went to turn it off and back on but thought I'd check it again before doing so. It was fine, guess the phone just had a silly moment!

You can't get rid of the time and weather info on the lockscreen by changing them in settings, ViperROM is the only ROM that even has a Mod in it to allow you to hide the lockscreen weather and clock.
That's not the problem. But there is only the weather and clock, even if I choose music (no music control) productivity (still the cloud an clock only) and pictures don't show either

Blinkfeed Questions

Is it possible to only display weather from a location I've set? Every refresh defaults back to "current location"
When clicking the weather icon, is it possible to change out of 24hr time?

For the clock, go to clock and you must be in the world clock screen. Go to settings/local time settings and you can select or uncheck 24 clock. Go to home settings and you can search and select your home city.
For weather, open up weather and go to settings and turn off update my location.

I think he's talking about something different. Even I open my weather app and look at the hourly forecast, it's in 24 hour first.
As far as I know, there is no way to change this, annoying as it is.

Widget Locker Lockscreen

Hey all ....
I am having some extremely frustrating problems with Widget Locker Lockscreen here on my HTC One.
First, I can't seem to get the homehelper to work correctly as it doesn't even look like its saving my settings when I switch launchers or anything for testing. I don't need a PIN or security on my phone as deep as setting that, I just don't want the home button to take me to the home screen when on the lockscreen. GO locker did this beautifully for me, and didn't have the second issue below.
Second, when it does work for like 10 seconds, I get an annoying flicker of it trying to paint the homescreen then going back to the lockscreen.
Anyone else experiencing any of these issues or know how to fix them? I have emailed the created of WL a couple of times stating the problems I was having within the app and got nothing back, so its time to ask the XDA Community.
Thanks
I experienced the same problems as you. It was an amazing app when it was on my Nexus one, still is used. But on the Htc One its pretty lackluster. I know I have nothing to contribute but I just uninstalled it...

Your HTC One is running ARHD as well (well from your signature it says it is) ... I am on 11.5.
Can someone on a different ROM check to see if they are having these issues as well? I know a lot of people are using the app so someone on a different ROM shouldnt be hard to find

Hey, I'm on fully converted GE. I use nova/widgetlocker religiously. Unfortunately, I have the same problems when I try to use homehelper. Its like an inefficient workaround, shows the "redraw" of home but tries to maintain WL. This isn't a working solution. I've disabled it and for the time being, I've just tried to ignore the home button while lock screen. Its always just power button or swipe (if i'm using custom kernel) then unlock using lockscreen. I've looked for other lockscreen alternatives but in terms of features, nothing compares to WL. I hope the devs bring out an update in the near future to address these issues.

Awesome. Thanks for the update. I have been extremely frustrated with this app but nothing compares to the customizing that can be done with it. Lets hope for a speedy update to fix this or hopefully the devs actually come on XDA and see this thread starting and address it
I was able to get rid of the flicker by turning on "HomeHelper ondemand via root" in Advanced > Root Helper (in addition to enabling HopeHelper). I'm currently on TrickDroid 8.00 and WidgetLocker 2.4beta8.

Turned on HomeHelper ondemand via root .... it stopped the home button bypass of the lockscreen but I still have the flicker
Crazy observation ....
I cleared all my settings, defaults, etc this morning before I posted about the homehelper with root .... and still had the flicker
Just playing around with my phone now I changed my lockscreen to have an alternate background from my home screen .... no more flicker on my device ...
Do you guys have alternate backgrounds? If not, can you try switch to one and see if you still get the flicker?

TrickDroid, as posted above, seems to not have any issues either. Is there anyone else on TrickDroid or ViperRom that has had issues?
I can't see why it would be limited to ARHD and GE Roms on the One, but since I don't know much about how these are put together, I guess anything is possible.
Also to note, after my change yesterday, I haven't had an issue since.
just installed app again after update. works like a charm and the dashclock is in "fullscreen" unlike when it was on the sense lockscreen!

do you guys know any way to use the default lockscreen when you get a call?
the only two possibilities that I found is to either have no lockscreen or you don't see who's calling you (because you need to unlock widget locker first) - both not ideal if you ask me

Well I dunno about you. But I am not having any issue for when someone calls me. but then again I didn't put any sort of security on my phone.
I just have Widget Locker Lockscreen enabled. someone calls me goes straight to answer/decline for me
Using default lockscreen, there is this cool feature (widget?) that shows controls and info of music that is currently playing, no matter what is the player you are using (I use both Spotify and Poweramp). Is there similar widget available that could be used with Widget Locker? I have found some that has support for Poweramp, but for spotify none. I'd rather not add both player's own widget to Widget Locker, it would be just spending space (and Spotify's widget is quite ugly).

me too, but that's the problem: you don't have to swipe up to answer or decline the call, the phone is unlocked so you only have to tap answer or decline... this may cause you to accept/decline calls by accident
I would like to have the default incoming call screen where you have to swipe up to accept the call together with widget locker, but I didn't find a way yet to achieve that
