For me too. Doesn't matter GSM or WiFi.

Seems to be working fine for me. Maybe the weather is just always the same where you are?

Is it based on location?

Yes location based.
Its not always the same weather. The time of update doesn't change either

It seems the background accuweather task gets killed occasionally?

same here.
this widget updates only manualy.
same as stock exchange widget

Yeah, the Samsung Accuweather widget updated sparodically, and never updated the location. After hoping for a few days that it would work properly, I decided to get the Weather channel widget from Market and it is working really well.

I wonder if there's an app / whitelist somewhere in the configuration files that the task could be added to so its not closed?

Random GPS

My girlfriend's Epic does something strange, whenever you scroll screens, especially the home screens, the GPS icon flashes for a couple of seconds. It did this on stock, went away when flashed cm7, and now it's doing it again. It does this with all launchers as well.
Is there a program that can trace what is activating this?
Thanks in advance.

You could use aLogCat to view the OS logs it is available in hte market, though it may be a weather app or facebook, could also be some type of malware as well.
Beautiful widgets?

I have beautiful widgets on mine and it didn't do it. It flashes every time you scroll.
Didn't think about trying log cat.

Access weather app without using widget?

Is there any way to open the S4 weather app without using the weather widget?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Wasn't the app intended to be used as a widget? I dunno, I'm just asking.
Thanks for such amazing insight captain obvious. Was just a simple question to see if there was a way to change that. Guess xda would be useless because the phone was intended to be used as is. Just saying.

It uses AccuWeather, just go to play store and DL accuweather

Cant get a smart scroll to work

I cant seem to get smart scroll to work. And even tho I have smart stay off, my screen seems to dim on its own sometimes. Anyone know how to fix this or if im doing something wrong

From what I have read smart scroll only works on the email app and the internet app

Yea I just figured that out after I posted this lol. Its pretty cool but I wish it worked with chrome cause I dont use the stock internet app. And I use the gmail app instead of the stock email app. So hopefully they expand the compatibility for this feature to work with other apps sometime soon.

Mobile Hotspot Widget?

I turn my mobile hotspot on/off quite a bit and would love to use a widget to speed up the process. However, none of the widgets I have tried from the Play Store have worked. Has anyone had any luck with a mobile hotspot widget? Thanks!
There's an app called hotspot toogle widget. Works with my s2

Doesn't seem to work for me. I have the provision check being skipped, as per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456338
Could something with that be causing the widgets not to work?

I don't see it, maybe the Verizon version doesn't have it?
It's just labelled hotspot

Still seeking widget
Has anyone found a solution for this yet? Like the original poster, I use the Mobile Hotspot regularly to tether my LG Gpad 8.3 to my Verizon G2, and I would definitely like to reduce the steps necessary to establish the connection. I have no hotspot selection on the Q settings, nor do any widgets that I have found thus far work for the Mobile Hotspot feature. My guess is that Verizon removes that selection from the Quick settings because they do not want to make it easy to tether.
If I had more time to experiment with Tasker, there is probably a way around this. Can help with this, I would be greatly appreciative.
Or maybe you need to start looking at an alternate ROM
