Is it just my phone?
I guess with this weather widget we can add locations of where we want to know the weather.
Anyway when I search I would like to add the weather for Monterey Ca. and all I get is Monterey Mexico, WTF is the matter with this thing? Am I missing something?
Not every location on earth is in the pick list. You can try Salinas or some other place close by.
Funny that Salinas is there, but I don't want Salinas even tho they are close to each other, the weather is way different.
This program needs work, even if it cannot find it, I should be able to add that location to favorites or something, but thats not an option.
I will have to get the weather channel program.
Not sure if this what you're asking for but you can choose to display your current location by removing the clock widget and re-adding, it will ask which location to use. Choose current location.
Current location is not the problem, I like to know weather conditions of places that I'm going.
I use to use The weather channel app for this on my old phone, so this one had the weather I wanted to know about having the same features, but it does not.
I think I am going to download the weather channel and just run it when I need to know the weather of where I'm going.

Ok, ya I know what you mean. The locations are definitely limited.
You can download the Weather Channel app. It has a widget you can use instead of the HTC one.
I have never had any problems with weather updates on my homescreen until today! My homescreen has stopped displaying a min and max temperature and weather animation and only indicates my current location(rochdale). Is this just a temporary glitch or is there any fix for this. Anyone experienced this?

Same problem, Sydney Australia.
Is this for all HTC Sense enabled phones or just the DHD?
Same here, Adelaide Australia
Same in Barcelona, Spain

Same here in Belgium on hd, also on hd2
Sent from my Desire HD
Same here in Orlando, Florida. The only way I can get my local weather is to drag the widget to the bottom left (Press and hold until you can move it, and then to the "edit" button), and then enter and select my actual city. The funny thing is if I click on where the sun would be I can get to the weather screen, and if I scroll to other cities, they all show correctly. Hmmmm
Lol very weird, my friend text me and said is my weather widget working because his isn't. We both have the Desire HD. I thought it was just a problem with our area's weather because when I click the widget and scroll to another location, it comes up with the clouds and sun, but for me and my friends location, nothing.
Worldwide bug xD
Same here,Nanjing China.
Maybe the service down.
AGGGHHH i reset my phone thinking there was a problem..... oh well same here uk.
Same in Slovakia...

thank god, I thought I had screwed up my phone! hahaha (I just got done removing apps from the system/app folder)
Not working on my HTC Incredible in Indiana!
I think there's a bug in the widget. I'm assuming that everyone here is using the (current) location and seeing the problem with that. I've got two other locations on the weather list and viewing them the weather displays normally. Adding my location manually also shows the weather normally. If the service was down it would be affecting all locations instead of just the (current) version.
If this is a bug that means that both the HTC Weather and the HTC News widget have issues... how can they have introduced so many bugs between the last Sense UI phone and the DHD?!
yep same here for Melbourne Australia..... also i notice htcsense .com is playing up.... missing the people,footprints,messages tabs

Problem for me is that I can do "current location" and it shows my city and temp....but if I try doing it manually, my city can't be located!
I have a weird problem with the HTC clock/weather widget on my home screen. It never updates my current weather for my present location. The other weather cities update, but not my current location. It was OK until recently. But the problem has persisted for several days now.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there is fix?

Sometimes the widget acts funny but I've noticed that if I would allow a GPS lock to my current location and then refresh the widget, it would then update properly.
This was also true for a Desire. I'm thinking the HTC "weather server" goes down at times.
I had this at the weekend, except it was the location on the widget that was wrong... came back from Glasgow and more than a day later it still didn't update to Aberdeen. I fixed it by clearing Weather Data in Manage Applications and Location Data from browser. Seems ok now.
accuweather.com has been a bit dodgy recently, ive had the same problems with my weather clock
I can't seem to get the Weatherbug or CNN widgets to stay visible. I put them on a screen and they work fine for awhile. Then they disappear. The widget is definitely still they since I can't put anything else in the place it occupies and I can grab it and drag it to the remove Icon. In fact, removing the widget and putting it back is the only way I have found to make them visible again (note: I did not try a reboot or power off since its actually easier and faster to just put them back).
The email widgets (I have one for gmail and one for regular email),calendar widget, bookmark widget and Beautiful Widget Home have worked perfectly.
Seem to only be effecting some of the widgets. Anyone else seeing disappearing widgets?

I have the same problem with the weatherbug widget. It is definitely still there - I can't put anything in its location and i can even long press and drag the invisible widget to the trash can.
any thoughts? Thanks!
I know the CNN widget depends on a network connection, when I'm offline it usually stops showing items. They just didn't code it to gracefully fail, it just shows an empty stack widget.

Yeah, I expect that to happen. I sometimes lose network connection at night (not great signal in my bedroom - which according to my wife is a good thing!). I can understand an empty stack widget, but my weatherbug widget completely disappears. You bring up a good point though, maybe I'll leave it in the living room tonight so it doesn't lose connection and see if the widget disappears. I hope they fix that before the wifi only model comes out.
@OP - do you sometimes lose network connection. Could your problem also be related?
I havn't had any problems with mine
Are you using the stock launcher? I know that on my phone in the past if the launcher runs into an issue this very same widget issue happened.
I have had the same issues with my Cnn widgets and the weather. I have found that if you go in to the actual application from the app drawer it will refresh the widgets. Although for CNN you have to go to each feed for whatever widget you have. ex. tech widget stack, you must go the tech feeds in the CNN app and it brings the stack widget back up. Needs a fix

I don't think that is the problem. It has been on WiFI the whole time (I have WiFi configured to never disconnect) and it's never been out of range of my router.

I'm pretty sure I tried that, but next time it happens I'll give that a shot.
And just to be clear; the widget is literally invisible (not just empty).
When a stack widget has no items it is invisible. It's likely that from time to time the widget update failed and left the empty widget.

Perhaps, but they never seem to recover. I've left them alone for hours and they never reappear. Since it only seems to happen to these two widgets I think the problem lies with the widget implementation (i.e. coding problems).
I'm hoping for an update and until I get one I'm not using the widgets.
It didn't happen for a while now, but it did last night. I lost both the CNN widget and the weatherbug widget and they never recovered. i purposely refreshed all data and nothing. it's a bit annoying as the only solution is to delete the widget (if you long press in the general area where the widget was, it still thinks it's there and I can drag it to trash).
I have tried switching to a static wallpaper. I will report back.

I've always been on a static wallpaper and I still get the issue. I'd be curious if it helps you.
Static wallpaper did not help
Having the same problem with the CNN widget. I'm running LauncherPro and I thought it was the problem but I guess not. It must be a coding issue or refresh issue.
For Weaterbug, switch off "Enable my location" if it is on, and switch it on if it is off. That restores the widget. You can then set it as you wish.
I also have this problem. Mainly with the Accuweather widget disappearing. I use a static background. Stock Kernal. Not sure why it does this but.... I am sure this will get worked out in the upcomming builds.
Two questions about the GS2's Accuweather Widget.
First, it doesn't seem to update the weather without me hitting the update sync, it also doesn't update locations like Beautiful Widgets does.
Second, I'm also using Launcher Pro, but when I try and resize the Accuweather Widget, the blue color back ground doesn't fit.
So anyone know how to resize in LP?
And get the thing to update the weather and locations?
Thanks

Go launcher, launcher pro and adw fail to resize stock widgets correcty.... You can see that in this video too

Ok, thought so on LP.
What about the updating of the Accuweather widget and locations?
I'm using the AccuWeather Wideget, and I found that disabling the "Enable current location" on AccuWeather causing the high power consumption service "Wifi Sharing Service" disappear from Battery Status list, it used to take 30-40% of my GS2 battery.

Well I've been running Launcher Pro and went back to TW4 today, I had the Accuweather widget running all day with the check mark on Enable Current Location and I have to say my battery life was much better than running Launcher Pro. I didn't use the phone that much today, sat on the desk at home, but push email from K9 was running all day a few text messages ect and for at least 3 hours it showed 100%, right now its at 95%. Thats with WiFi Bluetooth and Sync ON.
When I'm on LP I use Beautiful Widgets, I like how that widget updates your location and weather, but maybe thats whats draining my battery faster than Accuweather.
But exactly what does Enable Current Location do in Accuweather? It doesn't detect my Current location thats for sure.

Please also disable the following functions beside AccuWeather Enable Current Location:
Voice Command & Voice Talk (preloaded on GS2)
Uncheck Settings -> Use location

As my understanding, the Accuweather will keep detecting your location in certain interval to make sure it reporting the weather on your current city and display on the widget. When you have your WIFI On, and you have "Use wireless networks" checked in "Location and security", it will wake up the "Wireless Sharing" service and Accuweather or Voice Command / Voice Talk will use that "Wireless Sharing" service to keep detecting your location, that's why most of the time you see that service drain your battery for 20%-40% daily. Maybe I'm wrong but proved on my phone this method really work.

Thanks Sleepycat, please tell us the result! Hopefully the solution can temporary fix on every GS2 phones' battery problem before Samsung releasing the new firmware.
I think I might have figured out the Enable Current Location feature, it looks like it uses the GPS. Now I'm not sure if it updates on its own like Beautiful Widgets, which btw doesn't use the GPS since I always have it off.
