I have just updated to the latest ROM and have gone back to the HTC clock now it isn't so sluggish. This incorporates weather but my town isn't recognised. So I just get my town name and no weather. Now on all the weather sites if I put in my town it just has the same data as Norwich so I'd be happy if it showed me the weather in Norwich when I am in Wymondham.
Any way to do this?
Cheers
Same problem here. Any solutions?
For some reason it doesn't seem to like wi-fi, are you connecting via your phone network? It seems a bit of a law into itself though, where I live it seems to update with no consistency, often claiming no data but at other times working properly. On the other hand while out for a drive in the middle of nowhere the other day I notced it was picking up and naming every town we passed, even if they consisted of 3 houses and a sheep!
Yeah, the same thing happend to me. I was driving to my cousin's (50mins drive), it was working beautifully - changing the location and updating. However, at home it's not working at all. At home I use wi-fi, but even when I go to work and switch to my network's internet it's still not picking up anything. Frustrating.
What's annoying is that if you go to the website which the app pulls data from (I'm not sure how I got it to come up right now but it was via the app) it has my town listed, which is what why I thought it might have something to do with data and location marking or somesuch.
On top of this, If I go to town (still in the same area as my phone says my home is) I get the info.
The exact same situation here. I've added my town manually to the list and it's working absolutely fine! Yet the current location (which displays the right name of my town) is displaying no data. So annoying!
So whenever I want to check the weather I have to go to the seperate widget to check and am not able to do that on the clock-weather widget.
I removed the original widget, and added it back with my explicit town, now works fine.
shame the auto-location one doesn't work though.

I can't seem to do this as my actual town is not on the list. Despite this sometimes it shows my town under the clock with the weather yet if I go into the weather widget application is says no data available!!!

annoying; you'll just have to pick the nearest town that is on the list, and put up with the "wrong" name, at least until the main issue is fixed.

What i found worked was leave it on 'current city' when your somewhere that is actually in the list, refresh the weather app and it will show the weather for that area. After that when you get back it keeps the weather up. Well thats what mine has done, where i live isnt in the list either but i know have weather when i didnt when i first turned it on.
Another point on this one, if it can't get any weather details it doesn't show you the date either!
Can you force the weather on the clock to just stay on a city of your choice?

Good question; I've assumed that if you add a city manually, when adding the widget, then it would stay on that city even as you move around. But perhaps it doesn't. Clearly I need to get out more
Didnt work for me. I had to do a data wipe. Worked fine afterwards. Although I backed up my SMS data so I didnt lose anything

I might be blind, but I can't find where you can remove the widget and add it back again?

It's not obvious until you've done it once, agreed
to remove widgets in the Sense UI, you touch-and-hold them for a few seconds, then drag them down to the "Remove" area that has appeared at the bottom, and which turns red when you're over it. Then release.
In the same way, you can move widgets about....
Then, hit the + button, or just touch-hold on the backgroun, to add a widget back.
apols if you knew all this and I've missed the point...

Thanks, but it was my fault. I didn't realise the thread was about the Sense UI. I am running M2D.
The weather on the home page with v1.5 you could add locations with a map search. I noticed that with v2.1 the map point location 'tool' is not there. I am trying to load certain locations to my weather and 2.1 version doesn't list any cities like version 1.5 did.
Is this a bug or a change? or am I missing something?
They expect you to know where you want to know the weather or else why would you want to know the weather? Confusing
Confusing, yes
Whether or not I know the weather is neither their business nor mine? I'd rather know whether the weather is more pleasant rather than not, in places i'd rather be....whether here or there.
author unknown. It's better that way.
sorry if I'm wasting time. Thanks to all of you who helped all of us who need "Eris and Android 2.1 for Dummies"!
All punning aside, I love the animations on screen. The rain drops had me nervous the first time they came up. The clouds passing by was neat. I think my favorite is the sunshine's aura.
There are TONS of complaints about the Eris weather widget. It's a flaky one for sure. We have three Eris's in my house and have yet to get all of them to work correctly, in spite of me spending lots of time on the phone with HTC. Mine actually works pretty well right now. My wife's would never display the correct city, but we could get close. After upgrading hers, it showed the correct city for the first time EVER...for a little while. The next day, it would only say "current location".
Sometimes your computer monitor makes a fantastic sounding board. As I sat here typing this, a thought popped into my head on the subject. Just grabbed the wife's phone (and some boob on the way by ) and went into settings>location and found that GPS was enabled, but network location was not. Turned on both and voila`...the correct city name popped up. Check your location settings. That's all I got for ya...I hope it works.

I have another issue with the HTC weather/clock widget. I've reloaded this new ROM 3 times already to see if there was an issue with installing other clock/weather programs but I have not been able to fix it.
On my home screen, the weather shows correctly (current location) and updates much quicker than the 1.5 ROM did.
When I tap the clock, by default it goes to "Desk Clock" Where it shows the time, weather and across the bottom you can choose between the world clock, alarm, stopwatch and timer.
The problem I am having is that the weather in this screen is stuck on Akron, OH. While I don't have anything against Akron, I don't particularly care about the weather there (its 640 miles away). I've deleted the location in the weather widget settings but every time the "Desk Clock" loads, sure enough, Akron, OH weather is displayed.
Anyone else with this problem?

Have you tried deleting the stock widget and then adding the htc weather widget and setting a certain location where you live or current location? When you add the new widget it asks what city or current location you want it to default to. I got tired of seeing it set for 14 or current location instead of the city so I just set it to Baltimore as its the closest major city.
hope this helps

I'm not having any problems with the stock time/weather widget on the home screen. It's the desk clock app that also shows the time. If you tap the clock on the home screen it takes you to the different clock, alarm, stopwatch, timer apps and the desk clock app shows the time, date, and weather. It is here that the weather only displays Akron, OH. My home screen updates as expected and about 5x faster than the 1.5 ROM.
my stock rooted sense rom has a giant clock with some animated weather stuff overlay-ed. it it messing up.
it shows the weather as 0, even though its about 23
there is no high or low info
it just says delphi (my city) to the left underneath side of my giant clock
i can add citys as they added cities seem to work, but these added city cant be "my current" city
i did a nandroid back up and did a factory reset and set the phone back up and the weather did the same thing
so i did a backup restore and it once again it was still acting up
i have the weather set to "current location" and drove to another city and it change city's but still couldn't display the animated icons on the home screen or one the weather widget was actually opened
when i scroll through the other two citys i set up the weather becomes animated but not on the home screen
i have deleted the widget and created a new one- no change
i tried to add my city manually but cant because it isn't listed when i type it in
any help would be apprecitaed
there is a chance that there is a software problem and i maybe didnt foramt the phone correctly but i doubt it.
yeah htc servers are acting up.
might be working for some now?
Same here, all night mine has only said the time, Springfield(my city), and the date. That's all. I'm rooted with Ava v10 and modded blue sense clock.

Hey, question about the Eye In Sky "Cities" widget.
I want it to display ONLY Montreal. I live in Montreal, but the "current location" always points me to a smaller borough not too far away instead of Montreal, so if I add montreal, it displays as a second city. I have it set to Montreal as default, but the widget then shows little arrows next to it to switch cities.. Any way to either disable current city or to hide the arrows??
Thanks!

I've been using Eye in the Sky for a while, and I haven't found a way to disable that either. Thankfully, my widget does display the correct borough for me though.
I figured I may as well throw this question in here:
I absolutely love Eye in Sky, but I want a different 4x1 widget. The 4x2 widget is essentially what I'm looking for, but without the bottom half. (i.e. just the current conditions, icon of sun, clouds, etc., and city name) I emailed the developer (no response yet) and tried using Apex Launcher to resize the widget, but it didn't work. Any suggestions on how to get the custom widget I want? Thanks, and I apologize for posting in a thread with a slightly different topic.
I couldn't get what I wanted with this app so I switched to 1weather

couldnt get what i want from it and changed to bw
Does anyone know how to get the weather to show in the second screen on the V20? A friend has the V10, and they get a nice little icon of the current weather to the left of the time and date. I want this on my V20, but there's no discussion on this on the internet anywhere. Having the temperature might be nice also, but I'll settle for just the icon.
I've attached a promo image of the V10 showing exactly what I'm talking about.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Attachment didn't work. Link to replace attachment failed too! Ugh. Please try this link: http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p291/darksoulseed/LG-V10-Second-Screen-cameras_zpsgrkowsyh.jpg See to the left of the date "Thu 1" there is a sun icon. This is what I am talking about.
When is this weather displayed?
When screen is off and the time and date is displayed in the second screen.
Or are you mistaking it for the pull down notification bar?
That would be nice to have temperature in second screen...

Correction to a previous comment.......
You can get an icon or the temperature to show on the second screen.
Install and run a weather app that will follow weather in status bar.
Basically, the app will create a icon and always on notification in the notification bar. So than when the phone is off you will still get the icon or temperature showing in the second screen left of the time and date.
I have weather bug installed and just tried it. Weather bug displays the temperature. Other weather apps may display a weather icon.
Sorry for not replying sooner, for some reason I was not getting notifications of replies like I normally do.
Also, sorry my attachment and follow up link did not work. I can see how that would lead to some miscommunication. I have fixed it now. This is the right link: http://s131.photobucket.com/user/da...10-Second-Screen-cameras_zpsgrkowsyh.jpg.html This is a promo image of the LG V10. The second screen is "sliced out" of the phone to show off what it can do. The second "slice out" shows four icons on the far left, then a gap, then the weather icon, then the date and time (Thu 1 09:38PM). This is EXACTLY what i want to see on my LG V20. Specifically when the main screen is off.
Anyways... No, I specifically meant the second screen, not the notification bar. I just tried Weather Bug, and it does indeed show the temperature in the notification bar when the main screen is ON. And when the main screen is OFF it shows in the second screen. This is nice, but I really want the weather icon. Anyone know a way to get this?
I feel like this is an oversight on LG's behalf. If it worked on the V10, why not make it work on the V20?
I remember that icon.
I went to LG web site. Its pretty clear that they removed the weather icon from the date and time while screen off.
You'll have to use a third party app with notification to come close to replicating what your looking for.
Weather underground will display the temperature on the second screen when it's off.

Weatherbug also displays the temp on the second screen when its off

Just wonder what is the battery consumption with those apps.
Yahoo weather works fine for me with temp displayed on a second screen (on a left)!

Very little consumption about 1% in comparison to screen's 25-30% (on a top of the list)!
Weather channel app also puts the temperature in the second screen when the main screen is off... But only the temp no other icon.
I personally use WeatherBZ. It's based on the MIUI weather widget, and runs pretty well. Keeps the temp in the second screen much like the aforementioned do, very nice little app, no noticeable battery drain on my end either.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm honestly far less concerned about the temperature. I know a couple ways to get it now if I want it. What I really want though is the weather icon like in the V10 promo image.

Maybe it's just GoogleNow notification? I get those time to time then temps suddenly drops or raises 5+ degrees F.

Hmmm, I have Google Now but I have Nova set as my home launcher. I usually just like Google Now for the "OK Google" voice commands. So anyways, I've gone into Google Now to see if I can use it for weather on the second screen, but it's not working... even though I am getting the weather in my usual pull-down notification.
Anyone know more about Google Now and can maybe suggest something I can try with it?

Do you see Weather card in Google Now if you open it by holding Home button? Supposed to be the first one. And here's the point I always see notification from Google App like "53F in Berkeley" as a pulldown notification BUT only if weather changes (i.e. by more than 5F or storm comes in suddenly) I get extra notification which appears on a second screen while main screen is off!
Sidenote: This icon on a second screen might be a cute one but not very informative! You can see if it's sunny, cloudy or rainy from your window, right? I'd better know how cold or hot it is outdoors at the moment and folks listed several nice options above...
