[Q] CM9 Asus Weather widget always sunny... even at night? - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Installed the Asus Weather Widget. Under the CM9 Settings, I ticked Google's location service. In the Weather Widget settings, I selected Auto-refresh my current location, and every hour. it's 10:12pm and it said it's Clear and there's a picture of the sun behind some clouds. Is that normal for the Touchpad?

Same thing happens to me...

problem: weather screen does not refresh

Hi,
I added some cities to my weather database, using the way described in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514264
Now I find that the weather screen always shows the weather for the time I downloaded the weather information. So if I download the weather at night there is still a moon the next day.
I removed the added cities already but there is no change...
I hope there is a way to fix that and to properly add my cities so I dont have to download new data everytime again.
My D2 shows it from the start when I had cities selected from factory menu. After dark there was moon and in the day time sun, until next update. Same like you have described. I've thought it is OK

Hero Weather Question

On the main Clock with the Weather under it, is there a way to stop it from trying to sync/update the weather everytime you unlock the phone?
I can't find a setting for this anywhere, I like having the weather and clock there, but it needs to stop killing performance when it doesn't need to check weather but every hour or so.
Click on the weather/clock and hit menu and go to settings. You can turn off automatic update.
That only seems to turn it off on the weather application- not the clock.

Stock Weather & Clock widget

I have started using the LG Stock Weather & Clock widget on my Optimus 2x.
I am finding that when I go to a different geographical location and refresh/update the weather it does not change to the location I am at, instead it just stays as the location I entered when I added the widget to the home screen.
Does anyone have the same issue?
It's not an issue, but a feature! This widget does not auto-update the location as you may be used to from Beautiful Widgets. It also has no auto-refresh schedule. I have seen it auto-update the weather conditions at regular intervals, though. But not sure what it's schedule is.
That's a shame it doesn't update the location. Hopefully they add the option in 2.3, might have to move to Go Weather instead.

[Q] Weather updates not working - and Samsung Helpdesk can't help either!

Ok I'm running a stock Gear with Galaxy S3 LTE 4.3 And Accuweather HD widget and Accuweather app. Both are set to the same cities, home, New York and Gilbert AZ which I use for work. The home city is updating hourly as per Gear Manager settings.
However the watch is not updating either NewYork or Gilbert, plus Los Angeles which is not even on the Accuweather app! All these cities show last update of 12th Jan and do not do anything. Samsung hd in the UK haven't got a clue; furthermore they don't even have a Gear to replicate the issue!
Can any one help get these subsidiary cities to update? I've restored, rebooted and wiped all the apps and gear. Nothing.
Live and learn. I never knew you could scroll left and right on the weather to see additional cities. What you're having trouble with does work on mine. Although, as I'm typing, the geo-located city won't update and still shows an earlier time than the non-geo-located cities.
Are you using the Samsung weather app? Third party apps, even those sourcing from Accuweather, have no impact on what's shown on the Gear. There are two places on your phone to adjust the weather on your Gear. The Samsung Weather widget (clock) and on the lock screen when you drag down the clock to expose the weather and agenda. Third party apps, even by Accuweather, have no impact on the Gear's weather display.
If you click on the Weather Widget on your home page...
This pops up...
It's where you can control the weather the Gear sees. It and the lock screen pull down are also where you go to refresh the weather on the Gear if it's out of date. And if it is out of date it's not because of the Gear it's because Samsung's Weather app failed to refresh when you set it to. You'll notice that the update time on the Gear is always the update time from the Samsung Weather app.
P.S. - I don't use the Samsung Weather widget. So when I need to access it I'll delete a widget like Flipboard that's the same size and place it there while I'm working on it. I delete it when I'm done and put Flipboard back.

Thank you! Actually I don't have the Samsung weather running on lock screen, the S3 I have only allows clock and custom message. And the widget isn't shown either. So....what I did was to download the S3 weather shortcut app from playstore and BINGO! I have the cities all there! So now I can update the settings,and hopefully the Gear will also update!
I am trying to get as much out of the Gear without rooting and this is the last major problem I faced. So thank you again!
All working 100% so thank you again!
you can get a five day forecast for any city added to your Gear if you tap on its initial location. Swipe to go back.

And thank you. I downloaded a shortcut creator from Play and created a link like yours for the S3 to the Samsung Weather app so I'd don't have to swap widgets to access it. And the shortcut stays even after removing the app (I hate keeping one-off apps installed).

Me too. I have created a folder on the S3 home page called Gear Apps which contains the shortcut and other apps like Gear Manager and Tablet Talk. Makes it easy to access the specific apps I need for the Gear.
I may well attempt to root for full internet access via Bluetooth tethering when the Gear 2 comes out and this becomes surplus. At the moment I'm just having fun trying to push stock to it's limits!
One other question, that you or someone may be able to answer.... I have no contact names showing only numbers in tablet talk messaging. I have a .vcf file of all the contacts from my 'phone. Which folder should this go in on the Gear to ensure all the numbers receive the contact names? I can transfer using Wondershare MobileGo. Thank you!

[Q] Setting location by default in sense weather app instead of current location

Hello, As you know, sense (both in lockscreen and app drawer) shows a weather figure (clouds, sun...) about the weather in the place we are at the moment
That means
1) it is searching everytime where we are so it wastes battery
2) In my case, I often go out my town. As I have weather sync set in once a day, If I move out my town, It just does not show the figures aymore, it shows "weather not synced", as It does not have data of my new place
3)I cant turn location off for saving battery because If I do that, weather is not shown either
I hope you understand me XD Thank you so much
