As the title says... The weather details have stopped working /showing in the calendar app.
Also on start up my phone home page background is usually a grey default pattern but on start up each time I turn the phone on the background shows complete black for a split second before the grey image shows up
Anyone know why for these 2 issues?
Thx
Is location enabled? Can't predict the weather without knowing where you are.
Open calendar app's settings
Scroll to bottom, 4th option from bottom, turn on weather forecast.
From what I remember first time setup you need to put in your city.
It updates when you have internet...I think its the same thing which powers the weather widget, someone else will know if this is true
Yeah guys...the calendar settings have location enabled...it says my city...in fact the weather updates were working in my phone up until I installed and messed around with Themer...then they stopped working. I have since uninstalled Themer...and the calendar weather updates don't work.
Do I have to enable 'Location Reporting' in general phone settings?

Is there a way to turn off alerts/alarms coming from the S planner?
I'm planning on using Calengoo.
Won't the alerts double? One coming from S-planner and the other coming from Calengoo?
I cannot turn of the calendars in S planner as Calengoo seems to need it to be able to get calendar data from my google account (I don't want to give Calengoo my login details, thus it is syncing from my Android device which is syncing to my Google Account)
Thanks for what enlightenment you guys can give.
I, too, would love some advice on this issue. Just using Outlook and the S Calendar. What I would like to do is to turn off the spoken notifications but still receive an event notification in the notification bar. And I still want the phone to ring.
What about "Set alarms and notifications" option in s planner options accessible after pressing menu key? I can set "Alarm", "Notification", "Disabled". There is another menu entry for vibration...
Thanks. But the problem with choosing to disable it is that I no longer receive any notification. I would like a notice in the notification bar - I just don't want my notification bar speaking. I tried changing the notification sound volume to zero. That worked to silence notifications about texts (but I still get the vibrate). But my calender still speaks.
Well, I found a fix for my problem, but it won't help the OP. Turns out the phone was in driving mode and that overrode application settings.
Hi all,
Got my 8X few days ago, and I ran into a weird issue. I noticed that the Facebook App notifications weren't working. I did however receive tile count on the Me-tile. I had a look in settings and I noticed that the background task for facebook app was blocked. The "turn on background back on for this app next time I open it" was checked, by even after starting app, or restarting phone, and starting app the task was still blocked.
After re-installing the facebook app the task got the allowed status. Everything worked, counts on tile and lockscreen, lockscreen photo background, etc... But then I noticed Facebook account in Settings/E-mail+accounts had 'not up to date' status. When I clicked 'show password' I got ******* instead of my password. Correcting the password and updating the account resulted in facebook app background task being blocked again.
I hope I'm making sense here... Anyone can reproduce this or is it only me?
Thank you in advance,
Grtz
Lukas
I too noticed that Facebook was blocked as a background task, but, my push notifications have worked perfectly despite it being blocked.
I decided to uninstall and re-install it to see if I could get it unblocked like you have, and when i check the background tasks settings, Facebook is no longer listed there. Keep in mind that background tasks do not control push notifications. Push notifications and background tasks are separate features of the phone. You can have push notifications running, and not have background tasks.
I assume Facebook uses background tasks to change the lockscreen wallpaper (if you enable this), and that's about it. Background tasks specifically allow a very limited set of operations for a specific amount of time at specific intervals of time. They can only do what the Windows Phone 8 SDK allows them to do, which is not a whole lot, but usually just enough to make it seem like your application is always doing something in the background.
Thnx for your reply prjkthack.
I was wrong in assuming this was an issue, and your post pushed me in the right direction.
I think it's like this:
1. no background task: fb app not installed, or installed but no lockscreen settings configured ("not now" while in the startup wizard)
2. blocked background task: you've used the lockscreen fb background, but switched that off, and are currently using another lockscreen. That's why the task is blocked.
3. allowed background task: you are using the fb wallpaper on your lockscreen.
Thank you for clarifying that background task have nothing to do with push. Did not realise that.
Thnx,
Lukas
I would like to ask how to set my blinkfeed to mobile data and wifi instead of WiFi Only. When i go to the setting of blinkfeed, in the auto refresh, its only wifi only, and the button is disabled. Any trick on how to enable it?

Actually I just noticed that my auto refresh is also grayed out... in my case it's set to "Using mobile data or wifi" but the button itself is gray and not selectable so I can't change it! I wonder how that happened...
It would be nice to be able to change it... I wonder if this has anything to do with changes to "Accounts and sync" recently made to deal with my invisible exchange account problem which is now fixed... maybe related.
If anyone else has seen this, please post.
SOLVED
*slaps forehead*
I just needed to enable Auto sync under "Accounts and sync"... now I can select the auto refresh option for blinkfeed and also no more "weather data not available" message either...

I'm talking about the "Auto sync" toggle at the very top of the "settings -> Accounts & sync" page... meaning after you first tap on Accounts & sync, look at the very top area and make sure that "Auto sync" is checked -- meaning set to "ON" with the blue color showing as switched on.
It applies to all accounts -- meaning it's not "Blinkfeed specific", but yet it appears it must be checked in order for Blinkfeed to auto-update properly.
It's right above the text that says "MANAGE ACCOUNTS" in small dark gray capital letters on the Accounts & sync page.
That's what "turned Blinkfeed back on" for me.

Ye, the settings for blinkfeed are in the app itself, where you select topics and services but I thought you had it show up in accounts and sync from how you wrote it lol .. The no weather data available and my location bit really annoy me because often my data isn't strong enough or if the phones been asleep, that it often says this on the lockscreen and on blinkfeed until I manually refresh or turn wifi on ... Probably the one thing I hate about stock because if you don't use data or weather etc you have no way of stopping it showing that which bugs me to say the least.
Hey there.
If you pull down the notification bar and tap on the time or the date it will open the pre-installed clock- and calendar-app respectively. (Which is quite handy for manually setting an alarm or timer.)
However, I prefer Google's clock app over the Huawei one, because I didn't find a way to just punch in timers, always have to scroll through minutes and seconds.
I tried uninstalling the Huawai clock via adb, (hoping I would be asked to assign an app) but then tapping on the time does nothing at all.
So I re-installed the Huawei clock.
I know a work-around would be to use the Google Assistant to start a timer or set an alarm, but I'm very reluctant to use it, Google should not be always listening.
So is there any way to change which app is linked to tapping on the time in the notification bar?
Thank you very much.
So this is weird. I am not using dark mode. I removed Vivo.pem. I followed (I think) all the instructions to activate notifications. At the begginning my notifications come perfectly everywhere(I have it to light the screen when notification comes).
However, after a while or a few minutes the meesages still come but the screen does not light up nor does anything show on lockscreen. They do show on the dropdown screen and they do show on the app icon as well.
I use Nova usually, I tried with and without Nova to no avail. However when I reboot the messages show (sometimes) on lockscreen..afterwhich they stop. its like something blocks all notification to lockscreen after a while.
Did I miss someting in the instructions?

Set your lockscreen notifications this way . Than individually allow apps you want to show notifications on lockscreen . And you're good to go .
I do(I think).
It's not about the lighting of the screen per say,it's about the messages not showing(or screen lighting) after a while on the lockscreen. It becomes a clean lockscreen ..but when I go to drop down menu or check the badges on the apps they are all there.
Again it works sometimes at the beginning then stops populating the lockscreen
I don't know if it works for you or not but try these for the apps you wanna get the notifications.
1. Disable Allow smart notification control.
2. Enable the settings from 2nd screenshot.
ah..ok I see...will give it a shot

Mine doesn't have that option.
"Allow Smart notification control"
Mine doesn't either ..but I think that there is a general setting that says enable and disable which makes it not show on a per app level.
On another note..the messages all of a sudden started to show. And I did NOTHING DIFFERENT. I had the exact settings as in attachments.I had previously rebooted the phone like many times to no avail.
I know we're beating a deadhorse with vivo notifications, but man how can someone mess up something so simple ....and it's so hard to figure it out when you can't really replicate it .
I have this thought: If the notifications are still coming but just not showing on the lock screen, on Samsung phones (S21, S22....) also, it just notifies the app icon. notifications come in without lighting up the screen and showing a summary of what is being notified normally like other phones. I fixed it with a Glimpse Notifications software available on the Play Store. All incoming notifications will light up the lock screen and show a summary of the content like other phones
