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 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!

Hi.
I don't know if it's only my DHD.
I have htc message widget (black one, not the white one that looks like post-it note) on one of the home screens.
Ever so often when I swipe through home screens that widget is refreshing names and phone numbers that are in the widget (if you have john smith it will delete the name show his number instead and place name back) and when you swipe further to the next screen it lags for few seconds.
Problem is the more messages i have the more it lags
Debugging is not helping and turning fast boot of doesn't change anything either
Unless someone knows a replacement widget to be placed on home screen

Replacement widget ? Well, i use this one, even if it is paid, it's in my opinion the best on the market now :

Good to know you're getting this problem too Matt, as far as I'm aware it's just that the htc widgets are pants. Which is a shame, because I think they look good and are easy to use.
I use the large message, mail and calender widgets and each of them take between 1-3 seconds to refresh. I've even tried to turn off refresh on open where possible just incase, and even disabled mobile data and wifi and it's the same.
The Facebook and Twitter Android widgets work fine, they're already updated before flicking to their screen, which is what is expected from the htc widgets.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a fix? Is there a setting I'm missing?
I think the answer may be live with it or get another widget, which would be a shame.
All suggestions are helpful

Second that statement, it's usually not something wrong with your phone/your widget version. I've noticed most HTC widgets do end up lagging there are plenty of third party widgets though that do it better.
When I get my phone back on I'll give you the name of a couple I use.
All HTC widget are lags. Maybe they need to free up some memory everytime its not under user's sight so that other apps can run faster with more memory....then it will need to refresh again...
yup, it suxx everytime i swipe to that corner of my homescreen.. omfg its coming! lol actualy the first time i flash/mod my dhd i was expecting it to be smoothen, but ugh..fat chance it really feels like im still at stock rom

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.
I love the HTC weather app as it looks so beautiful, but I must say a lot of the time the weather forecasts seem to be incorrect compared to Google now weather forecasts...Has anybody else noticed this, or just me lol?
For example it's raining right now and HTC weather app says it is a clear night whilst Google now app correctly reports that that it should be raining...there is nothing wrong with the location on the HTC spp app as it gets its location via GPS...
Would be cool if the app was updated do the user could change weather providers ?

Most weather apps contradict each other. Google now gets its data from The Weather Channel. HTC gets its data from Accuweather.
Just keep an eye on both and see which you trust. right now its party sunny where I am. Google reflects that and says 16 degrees, so too does HTC. Its a draw where I am!
That sounds like good strategy thanks for tee reply
But the HTC weather app doesn't use the integrated barometer sensor for a more accurate prediction in the area?

No it uses... just read the picture....
I use Beautiful Widgets Weather Widget because it's just..........well.......Beautiful. It can use either Accuweather or Weather Underground. I use Accuweather and it's always spot on.
I agree with @theandies i am also using BW and uses accu which is always spot on for me.
When I apply the large yota clock widget (the analog one that takes up most of the screen) to an EPD panel, it shows the city as 'Moscow' though the time on the large clock is right. The times on the three additional cities then seem to be wrong. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a setting I am missing?

Yes, location is on and it seems to work fine as the weather widgets show my exact location. It is just the large clock widget with the three times below it for additional cities. Its settings do not provide the option to specify a location. It looks like a bug to me unless someone else can try it and confirm it shows their location and not "Moscow" above the analog clock?

OK thanks - that is strange as all other location-based services work fine on mine so I don't understand why I am seeing 'Moscow'. It's not a big deal as I'm not even that fond of that widget, but I just like to solve mysteries like this!
