Gear 1 + Tizen = Weather fiasco - Samsung Galaxy Gear

All,
Maybe someone else has an answer to this. I have a Gear 1, with Tizen on it (Rooted) and a Galaxy S5 connected.
In Gear Manager, the ONLY option I seem to have with weather is to use location based services (on/off). If it is off, weather does NOT show up on the Gear at all.
When it is on, it shows the weather and updates fine, but the city name is completely wrong, although it appears that the weather forecast is fine. The city name is likely being pulled form Accuweather using location based services. (lets call it "city1")
Now the weird part. I also have the "Weather & Clock Widget" version 3.7.9 on my S5, with my city typed in, not using location based services. ( "city2" )
On the gear, when I touch the weather, it shows me a screen for "city1" that I can tap and go to the accuweather forecast. I can also scroll right and see "city2" that I can also tap and see an accuweather forecast for it (which is the same forecast)
Now that everyone is confused, I guess my question is: Can I use the weather WITHOUT location based services on my Gear ? I typically like to have that turned off on my S5 (to save battery)
I want one option for weather to show up on my Gear, and want it to be "city2" ... the correct city name.

Your post gave me a headache. But when I turn location off in Gear Manager the other cities I input manually in the Samsung weather widget still appear (and update). I'm using a N3.

Imagine me writing it ! lol
When I turn of location services in Gear Manager (Weather) ... the watch will not show any weather at all, just a message that says: "Tap here to use location info on mobile device"
when it is turned on, it seems to be pulling down 2 weather forecasts.

Today Screen Plugin and Weather - GPS

It dawned on me today....
The Today plugin weather screen... instead of putting your city or state or zip code (whatever) wouldn't it be helpful if the application could use the built in GPS to grab your current location and update the weather for you?
Like, if you drive from City #1 ----> 300 miles ---> City #2, your weather automatically updates based on your GPS location in City #2
That does sound cool....but I don't want to even think about the lag on my Today screen for it to be trying to access GPS.
OPTION:
[] Use GPS
[] Do Not Use GPS
This way, people have options and also you can choose GPS only when you go on journey.

HERO ROM - Flip Clock Question

I'm using the HTC Flip Clock widget and it automatically updates my location. It was working fine last night and now its not. I'm right now in Woodridge, IL and my flip clock still shows Matteson, IL weather. I know it's not that big of a difference in weather based on 30-35 miles, but I just want it to sync to the correct location. Under "My Location sources", I have use wireless networks and enable gps satellites selected. If this was a pre-existing hero rom issue, please forgive me. I didn't find anything when I searched. Any positive feedback would be greatly appreciated.
why dont you try refreshing it and if that doesnt work then just delete the widgt and then add it again.

open up the main weather app, check the setting, and hit refresh. If its not working than I would say whatever ROM you have has issues with the weather app.
With my flip clock, it doesnt update unless i manually do it. On the next page, i put a full-screen weather widget and hit the update bar at the bottom of the weather widget. this in turn will update the flip clock.

Stock weather app

Im having a problem with the weather app, when I set the location to Montevideo (where I live) I can't scroll through the graph which is suppoused to show hourly temperature. It's weird because it works fine with any other location
I'm running froyo
Can anyone test it with your nexus one, setting the location to Montevideo in the weather app, to see if it works fine
Thanks

Stock wifi calling widget

Hey guys. I went back to a stock rooted rom on my t879 and was wondering if it came with the wifi calling widget? i can't find it anywhere. Wifi calling works just fine its just I'd like an easy way to just turn it on or off when i want.
This is what i'm talking about:

Did this come pre-installed?
can anyone with an unrooted t879 verify whether this widget was installed out of the box? I honestly don't remember seeing it when I first got my note

Remember to hit the thanks button if this helped!
It is enabled through your wireless and network settings. If you select "more", you can enable wifi calling there then you can also pull up the wifi calling preferences. Any time you are on wifi calling you will see it in your status bar. A blue icon means you're connected, a red one means you have an issue.
Also, when you're actually on a wifi call.... the notification icon turns green.
I had to get my new SIM card replaced once already because I kept getting the red icon that hoggass referred to.... Turns out my SIM card was not wifi call compatible (even though it was a new one that came with the new Note). Since T-Mobile replaced the card, I've had no issues whatsoever (and I use wifi calling 99% of the time)

With Nova Launcher, you can set a gesture to bring up the Wifi Calling settings. I have mine set so if I touble tap on the home screen, I can quickly toggle the wifi calling.
