weather information in the lockscreen does not receive data anymore, why?
Lockscreen in CM9/CM10 relies on Yahoo Weather API... Which doesn't work anymore. So you won't get data for weather simply because it doesn't work.

Is there a way to refresh the weather on the watch? It updated once and hasn't changed in 12 hours.

Open the weather widget and change it in the settings on your phone. Then reboot both
Actually it is in the setting for weather in the Gear Manager app.

There isn't anyway as of now to refresh from the watch itself. It does autoupdate as soon as the app on the phone updates tho. I currently have the phone app set to update hourly on mine so that the weather info stays somewhat updated. I would imagine a future update will include someway to refresh directly from the watch itself.

That just allows you to setup how often the weather is refreshed, it doesn't actually do what the op asked which is refresh the weather from the watch. As a side note when you change the settings in Gear Manager that you mentioned it changes the settings in the weather widget on the phone and vice versa. I do believe that a future update will allow you to refresh the weather directly from the watch tho.

Undersood the question but frequent update (e.g. every hour) should mean there is no need to update from the watch. The weather does not change that fast!
Weather not updating at all

The problem i'm having is that Weather isn't updating at all on my Gear,
If i go into apps and press weather i'm met with 'Add city to weather widget on mobile device'
On the main Gear clock/weather screen it states 'No weather info'
I've tried turning 'Use current location' on and off in Gear Manager, restarting both devices didn't help.
Also tried resetting the Gear to factory defaults.
I'm using a stock Note 3.
Everything else seems to work well,
Any ideas ?

is the weather app setup correctly on the Note 3? It gets all of it's info from the stock app on the Note, oddly enough the weather app is obviously different from previous versions as it doesn't work at all on an S4.

Appreciate the quick reply,
Everything was setup correctly but for some reason re-installing Gear Manager on my Note made it work.

Don't mean to hijack this thread but i don't know if it's worth creating a new one...
Is there any quicker way to check battery life ?
The only way I know is to go into the Settings app on the Gear and then Battery.

Is there a way to get the TouchWiz Accuweather widget to run in the Nova launcher? It seems that only the TouchWiz version updates the weather clock on the Galaxy Gear watch. It would be nice to have it work with Nova as well. I did install the Accuweather application from the Play Store, but its widget doesn't sync with the Gear watch, or so it appears.

Here's a version of TouchWiz Accuweather I've had since Note1, which works on Nova.

You have to use a root browser to copy it to system/app.
With the new tizen update you can refresh weather manually from the watch now

Weather widget for Galaxy Gear
Hello to all
I noticed that all the widgets I tried to use that was not native to SAMSUNG is not synchronizing with the Galaxy GEAR.
Thus, I can not use the coolest launchers because of this.
Some of you can use other launchers and weather widgets that sync with the Galaxy Gear?
Thanks.

Is there a way to "sync" the lockscreen wallpaper with the homescreen one? Without having to manually set each one?
I want the lockscreen to display whatever wallpaper(static) my homescreen has

This app for example, changes my wallpaper based on time and i want this on the lockscreen

Before switching to Kitkat we used to be able to swipe left and get a widget with our favorite apps. That is gone with KK. Does anyone know of a similar widget that works on the lock screen?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
I never had that widget. Was it a feature on stock 4.3? If so, someone could probably pull the file for you.

It was an option for a lock screen widget. You could swipe left for the camera or change it be favorite apps. I do have a widget for favorite apps but it doesn't show up as a selectable lock screen widget. Not sure why some work on the lock screen and some don't.

So it was a built in Stock widget that cos be used on the lockscreen but now it doesn't? Do you still have the widget installed and it just isn't working or do you not have it at all?

Yeah it was a stock widget from 4.3 that worked on the lock screen. I actually found the APK and put it in the system/app folder and I can use it as a widget but it wont let me place it on the lock screen as a widget.

Hm may be a 4.4 issue. Just to be safe, you have the multiple lock screen widgets option enabled? And the permissions of the widget are correct?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
I do. I think it's a 4.4 thing. It's too bad.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
It only worked in 4.3 if you used a swipe unlock. If you use a pattern or pin, that goes away.
I would like AOD to show only a very small clock (no battery no date) and notifications.
Is this possible?
No, what you see in the aod clock selection is all you get.
