Accuweather Widget - Gear Refresh Problem - Samsung Galaxy Gear

Hello all, I've been using my Galaxy Gear with my Galaxy Note II for a month. Everything is perfect, Except the Weather Clock on Gear is not refreshing. Does someone have the same problem and the solution. ??

I had to put the weather widget on my home screen and then it started working. If you don't have the weather widget on your home screen put it on there and see if that works.

It's always on my homescreen and still not refreshing

And your using the weather widget that came on your phone? Also go into the settings on the widget and make sure it is set to update. I have the i605 note 2 from Verizon and mine is syncing just fine.

No the widget is custom Note III widget, came with DN3 custom rom.

I had to put the weather widget that came with the phone on home screen before mine would work.

I have exactly the same issue on my Note 2 running DN3.1.1. It used to work fine. I suspect it has something to do with the DN update to 3.1.

I have the same problem with my Note 2. I was told that if the Accuweather is modded in any way it will not update the Gear. I've tried several different things to get it to work but nothing helped. Went back to the leaked AT&T 4.3 firmware and it works fine. I really want to go back to Skynote4.3 N3 for the Note 3 features but the weather is bugging the crap out of me.

Mine doesn't update also unless I refresh the widget on my note 3. Im using the stock weather widge abd have it set up to auto refresh every 1 hr but still not working. Hope theres a fix to this.

My weather app didn't refresh on my GG paired with my Galaxy S4 then I remembered I had the "transparent weather widget" mode done. Replaced the modified accuweather.apk with the stock one and now everything is working.

Well I tried this one, neither it worked with Gear on my 4.3.1 DN3 Rom phone, nor the edges of the widget were proper. Yet I found a solution to refresh but it's burdensome. Cos you need to clear Data and Cache both widget app and the Gear's weather provider app on Settings-Apps. Anyway it works and you have to set the location from beginning after all.

Before swapping to my stock app I used to solve the problem just like you (cleaning cache/data in all aaccuweather apps) I'm almost sure if you find you stock model accuweather app you will get the app working just like me. BTW my model is SGH-M919N (MetroPCS)

No Ditto Rom is the best rom ever made, I can sacrifice my Gear Widget for it maybe our devs can do sth for it. @Arsaw @titooo7 @RevengeDevTeam @ravijani @funky81 @sotmax

I use Nova so of course can't use stock weather widget. I am not rooted. Any way to manually update weather on gear? Would it help to have weather widget on desktop of stock browser even if I'm actually in Nova and can't see it?

Asking it the weather just gave me search results for weather. Nothing worked. I just left it alone and the weather card eventually reappeared. Strange but at least its back...
I don't think this is a bug, on my galaxy nexus once you have swiped it away it will only appear when there is a change in the weather.

Ever so slightly related: any idea how to control the refresh frequency of the weather card? I don't care what it was 6 hours ago...

Xperia Z Launcher for ICS/JB

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102397
Found this the other day and thought I'd share it here. I'm currently using it on stock 4.1.2 (de-odexed) with no problems. IMO it's much smoother than any previous Xperia-based launchers.
All credit goes to ThilinaC for his amazing work!
Does the weather widget work for you guys on 4.1.2 cus on 4.2 i cant see it

It works fine for me. Although when I first flashed it I did have to reboot once or twice to get some of the widgets to work.
Might have to give this a shot

I flash it, it works ok, but the Theme function isn't work well.
some apps are missing, I have tried to clear data in app settings but no luck. I would have to constantly change between different views, like most recent or alphabetical, to find the apps. Anyone know how to fix it?

I used Titanium Backup to uninstall the sony apps.
You don't need to uninstall to switch launchers... settings > apps > all apps > home.apk(?) > clear defaults.

Try flashing the HDPI app drawer fix, and then clear the app data for Xperia Home.

That fix worked, I thought I had a different issue so I ignored that part when I was searching for it. Thanks

TouchWiz crashes continuously on Galaxy Note N7000

Hello everyone,
From last one week my Galaxy Note's TouchWiz has been crashing continuously. If at all I did not have had other launchers I would have not been able to make calls out of this mobile.
The problem is this:
I launch TouchWiz and everything is fine, I am able to see app drawer, home screens and even launch applications. But the real problem starts when I try to add widgets to my screen. In the latest TouchWiz, because we have no other means to add widgets but to go to widgets tab in app drawer I go to the widgets tab and boom..TouchWiz crashes and give the following message. Please see the added screenshot.
Other launchers don't have this crashing problem, even while adding widgets.
FYI: my Galaxy Note is running on ICS 4.0.4, rooted and is running on stock Rom and stock kernel.
Can anyone help me solve this problem.

Not getting text messages.

I start the morning off good with messages coming through, but then a few hours in they stop, and it is getting really annoying.... I am on latest gear manager and everything....anyone else have this issue? Or know of a fix?
If I can't consistently get messages to my watch, it is worthless.

I agree, that would make it worthless to me to.
I had problems with text notifications etc at first myself.
It took me a while to realize that for notifications to make it to the watch, I had to be running the stock messaging app (I had been using HandCent for years) & the phone screen had to be off at all times.
I installed the modded version of the stock TW messaging that has a toggle for screen on/off when a message came in. After switching to that (plus using the Samsung email app as opposed to GMAIL), I now get all my gear notifications almost instantly and I love the thing.
I also loaded my custom ringtones to the gear so it will ring a lot louder.

I installed the inverted MMS app. I'm wondering if that has something to do with it.

It could I suppose, I have found that absolutely anything that turns the screen on will block the notification from getting through to the watch.
I don't use a lockscreen (I just go straight into the phone from the home screen/power buttons)
I saw a post from someone saying that lock widgets will mess up the gear but I don't know if it's true.
I know mine works perfectly and I'm not updating ANYTHING at this point!!

They're at the bottom of the notification screen in Gear Manager. Not the best place for them, but I imagine they'll get their own category at some point.

I had that problem too; the second time I edited them it worked. I don't know if rebooting the phone and gear helped. I'm not sure what I did but now they are edited to match what I have on the phone.

I had this same issue on the Gear 2 Neo and the updated templates did not push to the watch until I modified ALL of the templates. Initially, I only wanted to edit a few of them and nothing changed on my watch...even after restarts. After going back to edit the others as well, the watch was immediately refreshed with the new templates (with no restart or any further action). Odd, but it is what it is.
