Does anyone else have an issue with the la4 Rom where the app closes when in background so it can't monitor for long periods?

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?

I can only get the watch on widget to work on the lock screen, not on thr the home screen. Can someone confirm they are having the same issue?

Using nova I have no option for the watchon widget. I got the notification drawer widget to appear but it disappeared after reboot.

Same here. That's really weird that they wouldn't have it as a home screen widget.

Surprised this isn't being discussed more. Also no homescreen widget in the GS4, only lock screen and notification panel
I need some useful battery tips!

searching and reading can show you everything you need to know.
Only thing ive disabled is google play apps auto update.
My brightness is always at max and disabling auto updates helped me out greatly. You really don't need latest updated apps to run. Just go home and update them manually while charging.
My phone goes through over 12 hours on a single charge. But then I am not a heavy user. Just facebook, web browsing, emails when I am not on ky desks. Maybe 1 hour of phone conversation daily.

Use a power manager app. I'm using GO Power Manager, but there are many.

Get better battery stats app and figure out where you wake locks are. Then work on reducing them.

For the longest I've had this Media Server issue that would drain my battery by 35% or more and I think I may have figured out how to kill this S.O.B. Go to Settings>under account select Google>click on account> then where it says Google Play Music let it sync once then unselect it.. Haven't seen in since..
Update: Also received this from user: @xdafoundingmember seems to have killed it completely. Thank you sir https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rrr.android.mediaserverkiller

got it!!
OK, so mediaserver was killing my battery too. I did some digging with the digging being geared towards media and serving information. Turns out, for me anyway, that the Google play store was using twice the amount if background data as it was foreground data so, I checked the box to restrict background data and vioala!!!! Mediaserver went from using over forty percent to, now, 3 percent. I've been on battery all day from 8am, it's eleven now and I'm at 81 percent writing this.
I had mediaserver killer set to kill on screen on and I had camera FC issues so I set it to intervals and now it's great. Just FYI for those who use it.
Just curious if 2.5-3% drain an hour is the norm. This is with location off, sync off, Wi-Fi most of the time, auto brightness.

Depends on phone configuration and check if you have a wake lock.

Also depends what you're doing, just sat on the home screen will use much less power than streaming music.
6 hours screen a per charge seems to be the normal.

I don't even get 3% drain with 6 hours of 'sleep' time with location/sync/wifi on.
You're asking about drain, as in if you're not using the phone?
Yeah, that is not even using the phone. I greenify everything save alarm app and textra
