about a week ago just as i switched to CM7 on my HD2 and Nexus One, i noticed that Google weather widget stopped working. I have to press refresh multiple times in order for it to lock the locstion. anyone else experience this? I mean it works but, but most of the time I see "no weather information"
i had the same problem with some other roms(sense 3.4, miui or cyanogenmod)
i decided to use another app like lg weather or fancy widget

everything worked fine on Miui. I remember a long tIME ago its weather channel that had problems with providing info for widget to work. I am thinking maybe they screwed up something again

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
Hey guys I wanted to make this post in the forum for his rom but I'm so new it won't let me so I thought I'd do it here. I have just today rooted my HTC Hero GSM phone and installed the new v3.1 rom from elelinux. Everything works fine but I'm just missing 2 widgets.
When I was running v2.1-update1 i had it so that one of the home screens had a full screen bookmark widget and another one had a full screen (well I mean so big you couldn't actually place another shortcut or anything on that screen) widget for my text messages. I know that the rom has both txt message app and a bookmarks section in the browser but before I could put both of these on the home screens and when I go to widgets from the home screen those two are missing from the list.
Can anyone help me out how to find it if I am missing it, or can you point me in the right direction?
I think those are sense widgets you refer to. Won't get these on aosp but there are similar alternatives on the market
I have the same issue... and I don't think it's related to Sense apps. I have tried to download, for example, "Laik Agenda widget", that works perfectly in other non-sense android phones, does not appear in the list.
I have also tried with 4 or 5 different calendar widgets, and no luck.

I had a same problem.Are you using elelinux ROM like OP?If you do, then go to settings>applications>manage apps>choose widget that you want and tap on it> then tap move to phone and thats it.That was the problem when I couldnt see some widgets, downloaded from market, in the list.
Hello.
I'm having several issues with the default android weather widget.
I'm using CM7 weekly 4# (Dec 10th) and wiping doesn't solve it, neither does deleting its data folder in /sdcard/android/data/ (which has the words "news-content-cache" in it and I don't use the news feature).
First problem is that even though it's set to auto update, it only updates when I tap the widget to open it. sometimes it doesn't do that either.
Second problem is that when I tell it to update manually it does nothing at all, I have to press the "i" button at the top right to show the daily forecast and only then it starts to update.
Third problem is that it fails to update 9 out of 10 times, even if I set the location manually and not "use my location".
On both WiFi and cell connection.
Picture
I'm not using any task killers and pretty much "stock" cm7 weekly 4#.
This is weird for me because my former Motorola Milestone with cm7 didn't have any of those issues.
So the question is, what am I doing wrong?
Get "Weather & Toggle Widget " from market see if it works better .

Thank you for replaying.
"Weather & toggle widget" is not a free app so I rather not spend money on testing, instead I installed "Weather widget" by the same developer.
It works fine, Oddly enough the stock weather widget stopped giving me update errors for now.
I rather not use third party applications for something that is available by default.
Plus the default widget is simple and clean, the ones in the market are too "pretty"
Edit:
Uninstalling the weather widget from the market makes the stop widget give update errors as I wrote in the first post, installing the weather widget from the market make the stock widget update normally.
Any one has any idea why that is?
Edit 2 : ignore previous edit.
Sorry if this has been addressed, but the search function in XDA has been down for the last couple of days. I have a problem when I turn on my phone from the lock screen, the Accuweather widget will display "Restart Widget, Problem loading widget". Not a big deal as it has a button to easily do that, but it can be restarted, I can lock the phone, and 5 seconds later unlock it and it will display this. It doesn't do it all of the time, but probably half of the time. It will do it with the normal widget and the transparent one as well. I don't think it's the widget because I have other widgets (like a kill apps button that will display the text "Ending All Applications" and it won't work all of the time either. I never noticed this before I rooted my phone. I have an AT&T S4 with MF3 firmware. This happens while on stock or custom roms also. Anyone have any similar happenings or suggestions to help?

I had the exact issue just a day or two ago - I just got annoyed and totally uninstalled the widget, restarted the phone, reinstalled the widget and haven't had a problem since. Give that a shot if you haven't?

I'm currently on the stock rom and opened up Titanium Backup to uninstall it. It wasn't named SamsungWidget_Weather as I would have expected. Can you let me know the name of the app that you uninstalled? I'll give your suggestion a try.

I uninstalled that [the native weather widget with stock ROM] and this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.accuweather.android
Has anyone had a problem where widgets will not update (for example, weather widgets don't refresh and switch widgets don't show a change in state)? I had thought I traced my issue to Be weather, and switched to Beautiful Widgets and after working fine for a day or two it has started to cease updating every few hours and require me to restart the launcher. I noticed this on Apex and Go Launcher.

Some Samsung specific widgets will not update if you are using a different launcher

The widgets I am referring to are third party - BeWeather and Beautiful Widgets appear to potentially "cause" an issue, but once the issue occurs, all widgets are impacted.

My internet access works fine (I still get emails) - and once I restart the launcher it automatically updates. Plus I have played with the network optimizer function (new feature that will go on and off WiFi depending on the ability to get on the internet) on and off and the same thing happens.

The re-update switch in the widgets doesn't work. Updating launchers and widgets to latest versions does not work. All widgets just become unresponsive including switch widgets (I use switchpro). They will perform the function (I.e. on a weather widget the update happens in the background and the switch will perform whatever function its tied to) but it will not display (I.e. the switch widget will not show the change in state and weather widgets will not show the updated weather).

Lol - I hang out with all apple guys. I do know one person with an S5, uses Go Launcher and has this issue with the Accuweather widget and the stock weather widget (which I believe was also powered by accuweather on the back end). I noticed that, regardless of the widget I was using, I still show BeWeather as an active process, so I went ahead and uninstalled it. I still have the issue however.
PS - I have no issues with my Nexus 7 (2012) which runs Kitkat as well.
Interestingly enough, the problem seems to have fixed itself. There were updates to Apex in the meantime, perhaps its that.
My friend with Go Launcher is also seeing the same impact - the issue is gone.

Calendar widget quit updating
Just today, my calendar widget stopped updating. Just says "No upcoming calendar events." I've tried the stock and Agenda Widgets - nothing. I'm running Google Now launcher, but they don't work in Touchwiz Launcher either. I noticed yesterday that the number of items on the widget began to dwindle.
Any fix for this?
Well, trust me I did everything for my Xperia L when I encountered this problem.
What I did for my device

Look two three posts before it for more information!
What fixed it was taking battery out for few minutes and putting it back again!
Hey guys, if you stop the cashed process for touchwiz home, the widgets immediately start updating. I'm using a verizon Samsung galaxy s5 4.4.4 kitkat. Just thought I'd throw that in...
