HTC Home - Weather Update

How often does everyones weather update, mine goes for days without updating unless I click the update button.....
Cheers

It won't update automatically unless you tell it to....supposedly
You need to tap on the city name at the top of the plugin, then when the city list is displayed, tap on Menu | Weather Options and make sure the "Download weather data automatically" is checked.
That's the theory at least - mine is ticked and like you, I have to tap on the weather panel on the home screen to get the damn thing to update
There is another option - "Download when roaming", but I've not ticked that box....might be worth a try?
Cheers,
Mark.

Download HTC HOME,
Look at disfanto's cab collection for the hermes. All of them pretty much works on the kaiser, and for more on how to put your own city into the weather database use the search button, since im to lazy too.

Thanks all for the help.... didnt even notice the options menu in the city select.......

Stock clock/weather location update?

Hi,
Yet another strange thing I am having. For setting the weather location in LG's home clock/weather widget I select "current location". Can it really be tru that it does not update likek the HTC weather? I can't use a weather report based on eg. my home address when I travel 100 km for work!

Seems to be a problem, yes because there is no proper configuration...
It's a great widget but it also updates (refreshes) very slowly and this can not be adjusted.
You travel 100km for work!

I also had a problem with changing my location.
The solution was de-install and install the widget again.
Then you can change the temp, location, time whene to update etc..

You can get the that screen after hitting the weather picture on the icon then menu then settings... but it's doesn't have a "follow me" or "update frequency" option as far as I can tell.

No, I can't find any further options. How can You de-install / install something built in the OS? Are You rooted??

Yeah, 104 KM to be exact. Each way...but its 7 days on/off.

your not exactly de-installing it you remove the widget from your screen. hold it and then drag it to the bin. Then you put the widget back.

I have tried this several times but it does still not give me as much options as You state. No update freq. change! And still it does not update on current location unless I manually click inside the widget.

I also just bought the phone so the method is a bit extencive.
what you can do is push on the widget so that if wil onfold.
Then press on the left button next to the home button.
and press options.
You than can change the temp. as in fahrenheit or celcius.
You can also ad multiple locations.
You can't do anything about the auto update.

Use Fancy Widget, there is a fee version on marked works very nice.

Its pitty. This widget is really beautifull, even with animations. Only think which I am missing is refresh rate setting :-( I hope that this can be solved in near future...

yap, the widget its beautiful, can anyone has a fixed in this one, i'm from New Zealand, Daylight saving just began, but the clock of the widget still the same. the actual clock is different to the clock of the widget, even the update is at the button of the widget +1 hour . see picture. thanks

4.2 Lockscreen - a step backward?

Hi all,
I cannot but tell you this huge doubt that has been haunting me since I got my Nexus 4: is this new 4.2 lockscreen really an improvement?
For me, it can be considered as a step forward (widgets) and two steps backward (camera and Google Now).
Let me explain:
Step back 1: the camera is now accessible only by swiping the screen to the right
Step back 2: Google Now is hidden as a tiny, little, dotted ring in the far bottom of the screen (see attached image)
Step forward: widgets to the left screen
This is all related to the new circle lock widget, that now allows you only to unlock the phone by dragging the center to whatever position in the borders (see attached image).
And you wanna now why Google did this? I'm strongly convinced they did it because of Apple's lockscreen patent. No joke and no flame intended here. If you read the patent, it clearly says that
The device is unlocked if contact with the display corresponds to a predefined gesture for unlocking the device.

Well, with this upgrade the "predefined gesture" exists no more. Before Android 4.2, the only way you could slide to unlock was to move from point A (center) to point B (right): that's exactly what we call a "predefined gesture". Now you can slide to unlock from point A (center) to point B (right), or point C (left), or point D (bottom), and so on. In Android 4.2 the user is free to unlock to whatever position he or she feels like, Google is safe from Apple lawtrolls, but my impression is that we all lose here.
If this is not the reason, I can't figure out why they did this.
Honestly, who cares to unlock to whatever position? It is an automated gesture, I hardly see anyone saying "Oh, thank God, I really needed to swipe left and now I can, good job Google".
Now, instead of having three of the most useful apps in one place, and unlocking them immediately, we have to break this process in three different procedures. This is not immediate, this is awful and I'd like Google to revert to how things were before. They can leave the widgets, but the circle lock widget has to be restored as we have seen it in 4.1.
What do you think? Is this new lockscreen really this big improvement or, like me, do you see more cons than pros?

overall, im ok with it. like the google now thing is fine. but sliding left and right can sometimes be bothersome, but it wont kill me

It is just the start. They will build on it.

I was worried as well, After using it on my GNex i have to say i like it, Alot of 3rd party apps have updated and are usable like Hd Widgets and Falcon for twitter. Im sure many more will follow.Getting to the camera and google now still only take 1 swipe. I see where you are coming from but adding functionality is hardly a step back. You dont have to use widgets and getting to Gnow and the camera are just as simple

i really do like the google now being down there. its where the home button actually is, which makes sense since you do drag up from the home button to get to google now quickly when on any screen (besides the lock screen of course). a bit more organized and less confusing for those who are coming to this phone for the first time

I just want my clock widget to get better from the black eye it's got.

What I'm saying is that the overall third party widget idea is more than welcome, but Google could have done much better by keeping Google Now and the Camera app within the lock circle and giving more space to widgets: that would have been accessible not only by swiping to the left, but also to the right.

You know, at first I thought they had eliminated Google Now completely, then a friend of mine told me that it was in fact hidden behind that little dotted circle.
Every time you unlock in 4.1, you see a giant Google Now logo; in 4.2, if you want to get access to it in the lock screen, you have to go figure it out.

but youre used to it being on the lock screen, like sliding it up. im saying more for those who are new to the phone. they may be like "oh, sliding up on the home button gives me google now. cool!" then they will think that, and when going to the lock screen, it'll be the same process for them. now thats only my speculation. but i understand what you mean

It looks like a bug for me!!! The 4.1 lockscreen was way better!

Old lockscreen found running on 4.2 Nexus 4
Thought this might interest you, also I would love to know how this is possible.
Here in the UK I tried out a Nexus 4 in a Carphone Warehouse store yesterday. We opened the box for the first time, booted up the phone and it presented us with the 4.1 version of the lockscreen .
The thing is, the phone was running on Android 4.2, I checked the settings, it was confirmed to be Android 4.2.
I am desperately trying to find a way to restore the old lock screen. The camera loads slower, the widgets are rubbish and I hate the new clock typeface.
Does anyone else know how this could be possible? The phone was unboxed and came straight from Google.

if you read reviews on the device, they were running 4.2 without the lockscreen widgets. the OTA implemented the functionality. idk why everyone thinks its bad. im ok with it. maybe the devs will include the option to have the old lockscreen in a custom ROM in the future

Oh now that is interesting, I'm very surprised Google didn't allow people to retain the old lock screen. One can only hope they listen to complaints and roll out an option to toggle widgets, customise clock typeface, etc.
I find accessing the camera by swiping to be a slower experience than before. It makes all that work speeding up the shutter seem a little pointless.
Not only that but sliding between widgets is very awkward when you have a phone case on. Step backwards indeed.

Initially I didn't like it, but it's kinda grown on me now. And I actually like the look of the clock with the hour in bold :victory:

If it's ever too humid or I'm too sweaty, making the phone that easy to unlock one way or another leads to some nasty accidents in the pocket. One time I ended up pocket calling two people over 20 times in the period of an hour. And that was with the original slide to unlock. It was so bad I had to put a pin lock on it temporarily.

For those complaining about the bold hour font on the clock you can easily download a mod to change it.
I didn't like the two flashing boxes that appeared for the widget screens so I downloaded a mod and now I just see the clock and the pattern unlock.

Really? I haven't found any bugs whatsoever in 4.2 so far.

Any way to change the lock screen clock?

So I know we've just gotten our hands on this phone but is there any way to change the rediculous stacked clock other than a theme? I think the S8 is same so maybe there's an app for this.

Settings>Display then scroll to bottom and you'll see the option for Always on Display, Smart Stay etc.

Not the aod clock, I mean the actual lock screen clock.

I have an S8 Plus and this is what worked for me to get the awful stacked clock off of the lock screen. 1) go to settings, choose the option for Lock Screen / Wallpapers. 2) Choose the option for Information / FaceWidgets. 3) Choose the option for Contact Information. At this point, you can enter your contact info if you want to, but you don't have to. Simply hit the space bar a time or two, and save. You should now have a much better clock when you look at your lock screen.

Choose a theme. I know it's a bit of an annoyance, but I changed my theme and it changed the lock screen clock.

If you turn on notifications in settings, lock screen and security, the clock will be horizontal. It could go back to vertical when there are no notifications, but i have viber icon enabled, so there's always one notification active.

I’m not sure this is exactly what you mean, but I figured I would post it and if not you won’t use it. I didn’t liked the digital clock either because it was stacked. I also already have a digital clock in the notification area. So I chose the analog clock and picked a different color as well. This has nothing to do with a theme because I actually set this up and Nova before I looked for a way to get a dark background and found a decent then that worked for me. I hope this helps and it’s what you are looking for. I would’ve answered sooner, but I just noticed this thread. If you meant something else and you haven’t solved it, please let me know.

AOD (Always on Display) is not what I'm talking about. The option your talking about is for AOD not the lock screen clock.

Yes, it was. Like I said, I wasn’t 100% certain exactly what you were looking for. However, that being said, I do have an analog clock on my AOD and a normal digital clock on the lock screen. I think there are only 2 possibles on why that working on my phone:
1.) I have a free theme downloaded and installed because I wanted a black background. I was concerned on doing this because I have my phone setup to look a certain way as I’m sure you do as well. I use Nova Prime and Cobalt Icon Pack. I was afraid that if I installed this it would change what I had set up, but it different. In case you wanted to try it, the name of the theme is Material_Black
2.) The other idea that I have heard that works and ironically I’m using one, is to install a Weather app. I have Transparent clock & weather installed. I also use the a widget from this app on my home screen to show the time, weather, and lots of other stuff. I’ve read from other people mention 2 or 3 other weather apps working as well. So if you’re using a different one, maybe you could try that first.
The reason I am assuming it’s one of these 2 ideas is because I changed my AOD clock to be the stacked version and my lock screen clock didn’t change. It stayed it’s normal digital. So obviously what you have set on your AOD has no bearing on the lock screen. If you try the theme idea, I don’t believe there are any special settings to enable. However, using the weather app may require a specific setting that I’m not sure of. I’ve been using my weather app for years on numerous phones and I really haven’t changed any settings on it other than some aesthetics.
I hope this helped out. If not, I can look again in my phone because obviously something is working on my phone to accomplish what you want. I would also appreciate it if you try these ideas, if you could let me know if it works and which one/specific settings. This way in case I come across other people with the S8/S8+ and Note 8 I can be more specific in helping them. Good luck! I hope one of them work!

Received Tmo Note9 Pie Update - How do I fix clock position?

I've been out of the loop for a while, and don't know all the ins and outs of Pie, but I was excited to see it was coming out and couldn't wait for it...until i woke up yesterday morning and found out that my Tmo Note 9 had installed something called a One UI Update and there was a notification in the upper-left corner that wouldn't go away. I realized it was the clock position, no moved away from the right corner.
Is there any way to move the clock back to the right side so it doesn't look like a perma-notification? Something that doesn't require root?
I've done some quick searches and some results are for the pixel or require root. Another possible solution was to use something called substratum(?) but that still might require root? Other places just said to file a bug report with google, but I doubt that would do anything.
Anyway, if anyone knows how to move the clock, back to where it's been for as long as I can remember, I'd appreciate it.

It shouldn't show just a notification...it shows the actual clock in the status bar.

Also possible with (Samsung) Good Lock and Quick Panel star app

What I mean is that for years, notifications have always been in upper left by default (at least to my knowledge). So when I first looked at my screen, granted I had just woke up and my eyes were still a little fuzzy, it looked like a notification. Then I realized it was the clock.

Ok, now I understand. I thought you meant it was just showing a notification, no clock.
Yeah, this has been discussed many times here in several Pie threads. This isn't a Samsung or One UI thing. It's a change Google implemented in Pie. Theory is, it is to account for notches, an for hole punch displays...like the S10/+ which has the hole on the right.
I never thought it would be this controversial of a change, and I imagine Google didn't either. I've been truly surprised at how many people hate it, LOL. Took me about 30 seconds to adjust to it, and I havent thought about it since. I guess to me it made sense, because in prior versions of Android, when you pulled the notification shade down, the clock moved over to the left anyway. Now it doesn't move.

Thanks for the suggestions for UI Tuner and and Sammy Good Lock; I'll give those a try.

Vote for good lock.

Wanted to report back that over the weekend I installed Good Lock.
Also, as a side note, I live really close to the manager of one of the Tmo stores in town and we chat in passing while walking our dogs every so often. Over the weekend we met each other on one such doggy walk and he had the exact same question for me that I asked here. Apparently he had quite a few people call or come in asking him the same thing too! I pointed him to the Good Lock app and showed him what it did for me. We're all happy campers now!
Appreciate the help, thanks!

Can I use SystemUI Tuner to add seconds to the stock clock?
I tried via the System UI Demo shortcut method and that didn't work. It's not a big deal I just like having the seconds up there as well. Also, will using SystemUI Tuner interfere with Good Lock in anyway?
