I looked at my gear watch earlier tonight & the temperature was off by over 10 degrees.
When I clicked on the weather, it hadn't updated in 4 hours. How do you get it to update or refresh more often??
Gear manager, my apps, settings for weather. There you can change the auto refresh.

Yea, I found that setting after I posted that but it doesn't work right.
I have it set to update every hour & right now it hasn't updated in almost 5 hours.

You need to enable locaction services in your smartphone. Otherwise the weather is not updating, even if you set a fixed location. Don't ask me why, but that's what I found out.
You should not disable (or delete) Weather Widget on your main device. Gear's weather depends on it.

It is enabled & I haven't disabled the weather widget.
I think it must have been an acuweather problem, this morning it started working fine........
Yes. In the accuweather widget, you can go to update interval and change it to hourly. The default is set up to every six hours I think.

The biggest key, I think, is that you must use one of the native weather widgets on your phone. If not I don't think an auto update will take place regardless of your other settings.
I could be wrong though.

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.

Not if your hopping states regularly
im lost, with the current city option you should see the city that you are currently in, that would be better then to manually set a city that once you leave you dont care about?
I live in one city and work in another. Instead of using the current location setting I have a listing for home and for work. Since I'm commuting 40 miles one way there is often enough of a temperature / percipitation change to warrant the setting.
The temperature is correct. It is the city that is wrong.
I live in Puyallup Washington and the app shows my city as summit view. Never heard of that city before.
When I travel around other cities are displayed correctly.
I am having the same problem since they JB update. I just drove from Sacramento to San Diego and my circle still shows the location as Sacramento. My other weather app and the Sundroid app both show the correct location (San Diego). The temp in the circle widget is correct, as mentioned earlier, but the city name is not updating.
Try to clear the data and cache of the weather app it worked for me when it displayed the wrong zip code for the location I was in. The city was correct though

Doesn't work for me. I have even completely wiped the device with a factory reset. Now I also have that JB issue of all paid app widgets vanishing upon every reboot. I hate this phone now.
Has anyone found a real fix for this? I'm in Minnesota, and half the time my weather app shows me in Texas.
I tried clearing the cache and resetting. It's getting frustrating.
edit: I have gps and wifi location services enabled.
Same Problem
I just got the AHD after trading up from the Atrix2, and while I love the circles widget, the fact that the location is not updating on "my current location" is really annoying, coupled with the fact there is no way to force it to update the location based on current GPS location or adjust the widget for how often it updates.
Anyone found a work around or what's causing this?
The only workaround I found was to turn off auto weather updates and then to turn it back on. Hardly a viable solution.

Yea, I'm having the same problem.. pulling down to refresh the feed. Don't have any battery management apps installed either... No idea why it's acting funky (and yea, I have enabled update w/ wifi and data)
*edit*
After eying my One for over 1hr30, Blinkfeed finally updated! However, the update was a few minutes late (said it updated at 7:33, but did not carry 5 or 6 stories that were available at the same time (did a manual update to test)
Try waiting 1hr30 and let me know how it goes! Do wish it updated more often...
I found this on htc.com
Can I change the refresh schedule in HTC Blinkfeed?
QUESTION:
Can I change the refresh schedule in HTC Blinkfeed?
ANSWER:
The phone automatically refreshes every 2 hours on mobile data network or hourly on Wi-Fi. While the phone is charging and connected to Wi-Fi, it refreshes every 15 minutes.
You can refresh HTC BlinkFeed anytime by pulling down the top of the screen. Pull down to refresh is now part of the many gestures supported on HTC Sense 5, such as the Mail app.
why is it on the setting for blinkfeed, Auto refresh is disabled and locked only using wi-fi? I want to auto update it via mobile data. Any suggestions?
Ok this is driving me crazy, randomly the app watch on will pop up in my notification bar. I disable it and it will just pop up again at a random time. Does anyone know how to permanently remove? besides freezing it of course

This just started happening to me the other day. I don't understand why because it hasn't done it before. I too disabled the notification and it automatically turns itself back on. I cleared the data and started over but that did not help. I froze the app with tbu a little bit ago because I rarely use it. It is frustrating because that is one of the only Samsung apps that I like. I too would like to know of a fix for it.

holllly cow. I have been battling this for 3 days now. I thought it was just my phone being supper glitchy. I have gone as far as to uninstall the app... witch will stop it from comming up in the notification bar. Then i re download it from play store. After about 4 reboots it comes back. I will set it in the setting to not come on in notification pannel. Boom its back. No way to stop it..... same with a few other apps. Its like they do not close the correct way and do not save the settings. My swannview dvr app is one more that wont save settings because it won't close correctly.
I don't know if this narrows it down but I noticed when I had wifi turned off I never got it but the second I turned it back on it started popping up again.
I have the same problem. This morning, while trying to disable the notification bar setting again, I got nag popup about allowing Watchon to use mobile data or only wifi. I selected the allow mobile data option and do not ask me again. Now, I can't find the setting to change it back to see if that would affect the notification bar problem. I don't want to test all of the settings because I would lose the devices that I have setup. I assume the problem is caused by an update to Watchon. The only thing I have changed recently us switching to Nova Launcher. Could this be related?

Judging by this I would assume it is the location settings that is triggering this. Try to go to system settings > More > Location services > My places > Choose the places and click none. I can't confirm this works, but it seems that this is triggering for the problem. Also note this isn't a great solution; other location services may be affected with this change.
This is caused by the latest WatchOn update.
I use WatchOn since the day I get my S4 Active (2 months ago) and this NEVER HAPPENED before the update.
I had to disable WatchOn with TB.
Another example of Samsung messing up good stuff!

It has nothing to do with location services. All of mine were already set to none, and I have the same problem.

Sorry then, it must have been the WatchON lock screen location settings I was thinking of. No clue, honestly.
So did this ever get worked out? I just got the note 3 and am already seeing this behavior.
SOLUTION!..
Here is how i disabled remote control on notification panel and lock screen.
Its on Watchon Settings.
watch work done
This is what I did:
Settings
More
Application Manger
Samsung WatchOn
Remove the check for "Show Notifications"
This doesn't stop the program from starting on powerup, but it removes it from the notifications.
This is a thread that should be closed. The problem was fixed by an update. I can confirm that it did exist at one time, but the only people that still have thre problem either have not updated or they have not changed their settings.

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.
