accuweather widget vs lockscreen location updates
Same problem !
Stock Accuweather widget not updating current location, even if i force it to refresh !
whereas if u enable weather on the lockscreen ! it updates the position perfectly !! dunno what sense does it make not making the normal widget updating while lockscreen one does!!!!
anyone have a solution for this ? ive tried everything (removing,re-adding widget , removing cities in list..etc) but nothing worked.i dont recall this happens with most of the weather apps out there , my Desire HD does it perfectly with sense.
cheers

lol lock screen is working ???? this becomes really idiotic.

yup had the same problem so i switched to beautiful widgets and it works perfectly

yeah it is ridiculous !

do you have location enabled? wireless or GPS.
enable current location in the weather app only works if you have it enabled on the phone.

I find the problem, they create alot of places to feed with wheather, but it is all the same temperature, WHY THE **** ACCUWHEATHER?
Take a look in my situation, I live in Rio de janeiro and with all others apps of wheather locate me as Rio de Janeiro, JUST THE **** ACCUWHEATHER LOCATE ME AS NIGUAÇU and is a place, FAR, FAR WAY FROM ME. AT LEAST 2h by car, take a look at accuwheather map:
http://www.accuweather.com/en/br/niguacu/35550/weather-forecast/35550

guess you need to check the accuweather support site as to why.
Many different weatherapps, try some

Launcher 8 free+ lockscreen

HI, i found this launcher:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lx.launcher8
works great on Gear, also included lockscreen works! Swipe from left to right to change Tile's color, lockscreen type, wallpaper etc.
I'm on null_04 rom and i moved launcher from /data/app to /system/app but it work also without moving it.

Install this software http://www.wondershare.com/android-manager/ to your PC (trial works fo a month) then connect Gear to PC and confirm message on Gear. Now you can install any app from PlayStore to your Gear.

Thanks i will try it tomorrow. Currently downloading the null 05! and then i'm gonna learn about customizing my Gear. Is it only for PC or it is working on Mac?
I use a Mac, so for flashing Odin i have to ask my brother to lend me his Windows PC. So it means i have to download the app via PlayStore on the computer... and then use the program to transfer the .apk from the compu to the Gear.
Let me wait a bit and update to null 05 and see how the PlayStore works around with internet connection. Thanks again.

Apex launcher, disable widget padding in advanced settings.

has anyone tried contacting devs of the nova launcher?
perhaps they do not even realize that there is an issue with it..

Nova settings, disable or hide the dock, then run watch styler as a widget.
My watch styler works perfectly full screen using Nova Prime/Fomey Null rom (I did NOT install the full system UI).

Not perfect, although very close to it
You will notice a slight gap surrounding the page.. its called widget padding. Sadly novalauncher does not offer a option to disable/modify this settings..
It is barely noticeable, the only time I noticed it was when a user actually pointed it out with a screenshot..

No simply add the watchstyler widget to the homescreen, you may have to resize it.. but beside that you should be in the clear.

I ran into the same problem nova launcher andit is quite distracting. But my question which is very close to this is that whenever my galaxy gear wakes up it goes directly to the multiple home screen menu. How do I change that.?

[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] Show notifications on main screen with clock face?

Is there a way to have a clock face that shows notifications? Or some other way to have it so when i turn the watch screen on, I can see both the time and any notification count on the same screen?

Thanks for posting that but does the weather part work if you dont have a samsung device? Also what if your not on 4.3?

Can you add a similar widget to watch face on stock gear?

You need Gear Manager on your host device to use any Native functions on the Gear, inculding weather updates.

No I will not.
First up, you need to be rooted to get acces to the count..
Second, it´s a completly different thing to create the widget as standalone than trying to implement it in a stock app.

I have NULL_ 22.1 installed.
I am using the clock + weather widget.
I do have NotiCounter installed.
When I try to place the clock + weather widget and the NotiCounter widget on the same screen, the clock widget gets cut off.
I also am using the dock for my all apps button, tho i am trying to get LMT set up to use it instead.
Thanks for the assistance

I have a Note 2 (i605) and GearManager installed.... the weather widget will not work unless I have the stock TouchWiz clock on one of my home screens. So I just put it on one i never use.... No idea about getting it to work on non Samsung phones, maybe someone has ported that widget?

Yeah I thought there was someone at one point that had the samsung apps and had re authored them so that you could use them with other devices. The search featured has been disabled for some reason on this site so I cant look for it.
