I've recently got my HTC One, and it's been running fine so far
That changed today though, when all my widgets just aren't updating at all on the home screens.
Some of the widgets are Handcent SMS, 3G watchdog, Plume & AquaMail.
I've not installed anything recently, they've just stopped updating.
Any ideas?
Bit more information for you.
After a reboot, the widget will work ok for a few seconds. IE the charging animation on the battery widget will work, then it stops.
Pressing the widget will launch the app OK, but no updates / refresh.
Try a factory reset.

Was hoping to avoid a reset, just wondered if anyone had experienced the same problem.
Seemed to work ok this morning & now the widgets are back to not updating.

Hey guys I have an issue with my Captivate that just started earlier today. I got my Captivate a few days ago and the first thing I did was root it then flash a rom (latest FireFly) on it, I also went through a few themes since then and everything was great. Today I decided to switch the battery with a third party battery I have for the samsung i9000. Once I started up the phone, it hung at the boot screen for a bit longer than normal. Once I made it onto the homescreen, it asked me to pick a launcher, I picked launcherpro and its settings was reset (my widgets, homescreens, and apps were not as I placed it). The Captivate also vibrates in bursts of 1, then 2 in a row, signaling a FC I'm assuming. ANd thats what happens, all my startup apps keep force closing (alarm clock, titanium backup, battery widget; which isn't even on the homescreen anymore, etc.) I went back to the OEM battery and still getting the same thing. I don't know what else to do at this point, the FCs at startup keeping coming, and its as if all the settings I set we rewrited (for example, no notification for weatherbug, yet it comes up at boot). TIA for any replies.

Try to clear everything in cwm, as well as dalvik and reboot your phone.

Do you have another launcher on the phone? If so, remove Launcher Pro and reinstall. See if that helps, that is if you have another launcher.
A few days ago my beautiful widgets weather icon stopped showing up. Do anyone know how to fix it?
Mine did the same and eventually reappeared. I tried removing and adding it again to the homescreen, switching skins and the like. Sorry, I can't remember the exact steps.
Painfullly sent from my Captivate
Ha e you been keeping it updated? I have never had this issue and have had it sense early days
Just download weather skins extract and put them into sdcard/data/beautifulwidgets/wskins.

If you are using Google as your weather source try changing to Accuweather. It seems Google is blocking to many requests from the same I.P. address and since your carrier often looks like 1 I.P. it may be blocking your update.

Hi, has anyone had trouble with the weather app on the sensationXL,
where ever i go , the location on the home sceen weather app always states my location as the United Kingdom, and NOT the Town?
anyone got any ideas?
Mine is working correctly. Just opened it and for a moment it showed the weather for 'Lincoln' and then reloaded the weather for 'Mablethorpe'. Quite often the weather on the 'News and Weather' app shows 'Sorry Weather Currently Unavailable' but a manual refresh usually cures that.
My old HD Mini did have problems with the location in Mablethorpe, so I had to add it in manually and turn off the 'Current Location' feature, but the SensationXL has so far been faultless.
Refreshed it manually , and its set to refresth 'hourly' , then also tried trying powering down! When it restarts, its back to 'United Kingdom' as location??? besides that very pleased with Sensation XL
Do you know, after reading that I tried to get the HTC Sense page to load (which it still doesn't). One page suggested clearing the cache for HTC Hub and HTC Sense. I tried this, and then noticed that my Weather had set itself to United Kingdom. Aaarrggh! I tried various things which didn't seem to have any effect at all, but the final steps did seem to work.
Remove Weather/Clock widget.
Switch WiFi off.
Check that the settings in Location is set to use WiFi and GPS.
Turn the 'phone off (not restart).
Remove battery.
Wait 2 minutes.
Replace battery.
Switch 'phone on.
Wait 2 minutes.
Add Clock/Weather to screen.
Tick Use Current Location.
If weather location (still) incorrect:
Tap on weather.
Tap on 'more details online'. (This showed the weather for my 'Home' location even though the weather on the home screen was incorrect? I may have set this up earlier, but I don't remember doing so.)
Tap on 'Switch Location'.
Tap 'Add Location'.
Add a location (I used one near to me).
View that location.
Tap on 'Switch Location'.
Go back to your 'Home' location.
View that location.
Exit out of that and back to the weather widget.
Voila! Weather correct!
Don't touch any thing!
Hope it works for you too.
Well! After an hour, it started going back to United Kingdom.
Turning WiFi off seems to help, but it is still very temperamental, often swapping back and forth within a few seconds.
I have to agree with olyoh6696 that it must be something to do with HTC servers and not the 'phone itself.
For the time being I've installed the World Weather widget by Satok that I had on my Sony Arc. That seems stable, though no full screen animations.
Running a XL port, and recently noticed this problem when updating whether
Maybe htc accuweather servers are busy these few weeks with everyone so keen on checking the weather for snow!

united kingdom in weathet widget
Anybody solved this. It's driving me nuts. I've tried several widgets which work properly but I'd like to use HTC one. Shame HTC don't show any interest.
I think its more to do with server problems.
I downloaded several widgets that use AccuWeather, and they all have the same issue.
I don't think its up to HTC to do anything about it.
Contact AccuWeather, and let them know.

had this for about 3 hours the day before yesterday. The only thing i had installed that day was chrome beta.
Uninstalled that, re-installed locations, cleared the data and cache for anything with a name that suggested it could have anything to do with Laputa, weather or any sort of location service, and then rebooted.
been fine ever since. I don't know what helped, but something did.
However, i did notice that when i selected the correct town manually, it was showing the same as the 'United Kingdom' was, so it seems like it was getting the right weather, but it couldn't resolve the correct name.
I suspect that Accuweather have updated their database again, and the htc locations stuff is using an old version. maybe clearing the data on everything and rebooting forced it to update?
I've had to install Fancy Widgets to 'fix' this. It will only work if the Geocoder is set to use GeoNames. If it is set to use Google or Weather Provider it will fail in a similar way to the HTC weather. HTC weather sometimes does work correctly, then sometimes not. Mostly, it seems not.
I wish I could find a simple fix for this, as I really like the HTC clock and weather animations. Perhaps it will be fixed in the ICS update?
Is it easy to uninstall 'Locations'?

My HTC weather and clock widget seems to work fine most of the time. I guess I am one of the few lucky ones. We will wait to see what the ICS update brings.
Do you mean Locations, the app? Have you rooted your phone?
If you have just use any root exploring app (Es File Explorer, Root Explorer etc.) and go to /system/app locate the 'Location.apk' and delete it. You may want to delete Location widget apk too?
Once your phone has rebooted you should be fine. It won't be there anymore.
That's if you mean the Location app

ICS won't fix it. It's at the data provider end rather than being on the phone.
Weather issue fixed
Hi
My weather application stopped updatind after I had unlocked the bootloader.
So I relocked bootloader and flashed stock rom. Weather updates is working all right now.
just installed ICS, weather stuck on United Kingdom.... Anybody any ideas, no amount of force closing and clearing data fixes it.
Turn on GPS and refresh, or wifi.

Hi,
I have a brandnew gear and S4on 4.3, both on stock and will all updates performed.
-weather widget on touchwiz homescreen, set on hourly update
-wifi and bluetooth tether on
-lockscreen set to automatic
I read all the posts about this problem and performed al possible solutions like restarting, force close all weather apps, providers and widgets etc etc but it will still only update when I turn the phone on.
Any thoughts?
Try going to gear manager, open my apps, then select apps, click settings on weather, and set auto refresh for 1 hour

Under the phones location services, are you using wifi, gps, both, or is it off?
Do you have any google services frozen, or hibernated at all?

Gps, wifi, bluetooth, bluetooth thethering, automatic lock with gear, widget on homescreen, set two locations and let hem scroll every 30s. Update is set on every hour.
Also did gear, weather provider, weather provider, weather widget and touchwiz reset,
And still the widget is not updating on the phone or watch automaticly.
I couldnt care less about the weather function but I hate it when I cant get something to work.

You do have the stock weather widget on one of the home screens of the phone right? I know with my Note 2 it will not update the widget on the Gear unless I also have the stock weather widget on the phone (I just put it on a screen I dont use)
Ok, nothing worked to get the weather updating on the gear. I tried all possible solutions, even reset phone and gear.
Yesterday i installed the ripped from S5 gear manager(see other topic)....and the weather is now updating like a charm.
And the funny thing is..it works with touchwiz and even with apex launcher...
Edit: sadly it already stopped updating the next morning.
I think I'm having the same problem. I updated my rom on March 9th, and I was initially happy because on my previous rom, I didn't have weather at all. I noticed after three days that the weather wasn't updating at all. It constantly said 27°C and sunny.
I know it is still receiving some information from the phone because when i changed the widget on the phone to display in farenhieght, the unit updated on the watch. Unfortunately, the weather information hasn't updated since March 9th. This is especially odd considering I updated to Null 23 this morning. It must have gotten the weather information from the phone after the new install from a complete wipe, but it only got old information.
The weather is updating just fine on my note 2. Anyone have any ideas?
Edit: I just tried the weather command on S-Voice, and it showed an updated weather list, but when I use the weather widget on the watch, it still shows the weather that hasn't been updated since March 9th.
I had same problem too. I tried almost everything, but no go. Weather does not update. So i think to try kind of extreme. I earlier used on my note 2 this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2584533 and there is flashable file called One Stop Shop V5. I don't use that rom any more but i think thats worth to try. I flashed that file, and surprise. Now the weather updates as it should. So this worked on my international Note 2 and it might not work on other models.
Is anybody else having issues with homescreen widgets not refreshing or just freezing? I am on 5.1 stock rooted that is decrypted. widgets such as battery widget reborn, espn, and clock widgets all tend to stop working after adding them to the home screen... i either need to reboot or re-add them to get them working again but they just eventually stop again. Is this a known issue with lollipop? Thanks
No all my widgets are running fine I am still encrypted currently running on the leankernel. I would wipe both my caches in TWRP. Then after the phone rebuilds see if you have the same problem.

I have same issue. I'm on 5.1 HD widgets and yr widget won't update after I add them to home screen. I'm rooted, encrypted and using Nova Launcher.
still no luck here. I did wipe both davlik cache and cache. widgets were working again for an hour but once again they have frozen. both espn and battery widget reborn. my widget for chronos clock is still working for time but the dash extensions on it have stopped working (like the battery widget reborn extention). I cannot figure out what is going on with these widgets.
You guys should list out all your widgets being used. I found another instance of this and it was one bad widget causing the whole problem.

I am having the same issue. Using Yahoo weather. Play music, ESPN, play newsstand and photo widget. A power cycle fixes it for a few minutes at most. Clearing cache didn't help either.
