Lock Screen Weather Animation - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone else noticed (on T-Mobile LG G2) that the animated weather from the lock screen doesn't always work? I found that the animated clouds only scroll by at night time.. Durring the day I can't get it to work when I go to my lock screen (either from Knock Knock, or Power Button).
Anyone else?

I've noticed it a couple of times. But only with clouds, rain appears without issue.
Sometimes with clouds there is a lag before they appear. But overall I'm happy enough.

I have also noticed this. It seems at times that it is related to the Jelly Bean lock screen, that when the weather is displayed it is as a widget with a draggable window. When it is not displayed the default lock screen does not have a draggable area above the swipe to open area. Just my personal non-scientific observation.

I have the same issues when I use a third party launcher (Next 3D or Aviate). When I return to the stock launcher with the weather and clock widget on the home screen, it works just fine. I'm using a rooted D801.

For the life of me, I can't get the lock screen animation to work. I tried clearing cache, dalvik, nothing helps.
Anyone have any other ideas? I'm full stock, rooted.

You sure you didn't remove weather apk? For me the animation doesn't happen every time i unlock my screen.

Nope, have it on my home page.
Yeah, it seems that's the case here as well. It doesn't happen every time and not for all forecasts. For example; I get sunny and rainy animations, cloudy it doesn't show.

I have noticed that the weather animations don't work when the weather app shows it is cloudy. If it is sunny,raining, or snowing it work. But if it is cloudy there will be no animations

It is all base on your auto updates.
If your weather updates every 15 minutes you will only see the animation one time within those 15 minutes. if you unlock your phone more that once within that time frame you will not see the animation more than once.
see the highlighted text in the image.

not working for me also even i flashed 4.2.2 again

My G2 lockscreen weather animation was working well. Showing sun rays on sunny days, cloudy, raining basically all weather. But since I upgraded to 5.0.1 I have'nt seen nothing at all. Could it be it has not been raining maybe only rain will show.

refreshing widgets on hero roms?

this isnt a major problem, just something that gets rather annoying. 50% of the time when i scroll to my screen with the twitter widget or weather widget (dont know if its the same for other full screen widgets) i need to refresh them. i dont mean that the data is old, its just blank and shows no data. the widget stays blank until i click the refresh button. it would be nice if the widget would show something...even if i had to click refresh to update it...those blank widgets are kind of annoying.
anybody else experience this or know a work around? i am using modaco 1.51 on a mytouch but this problem has shown up on a bunch of other roms as well.

[Q] How do I get Clock with Weather on S4 Lock Screen?

I am trying to get the clock and the weather widget to show up on my lock screen - my old NOTE2 had the option in Lockscreen settings to show weather on Lock screen but I cant find that option here.
I was able to add a weather widget to the lock screen - but when you first open the lock screen all you see is the clock - then, if I swipe down on the screen - it opens the weather ap - see my screen shots attached.
The first is what you see when you first get to the lock screen
the second is what you see when youi swipe down.
I am wanting to get the look of the second screen shot - when you first see the lock screen -
any suggestions?
S4 Weather
I couldn't find a way to do it either, so I downloaded this little app and it's kind of cool.

You can add several other notifications to it as well.
I use beautiful widgets on all my devices, lets me set weather, clock, battery, and all completely customizable. One of the few apps I ever paid for.

Can you set it up with pattern security? The images on the Play store shows that you can but I haven't been able to do so. Every time I set up the widget and set the pattern security, it reverts back to the standard default clock.
Well I did once, but it has now reverted to the regular lock screen. Looks like maybe a bug - The other notification extensions I picked are taking up the whole screen. When I first installed it moved everything small up next to the clock when I had the pattern visible on the lock screen. I'm not sure how to make the widget smaller as of yet. Other users have reported the same problem, so maybe there will be a future fix.

Weather Effect Stuck On Raining

Hi.
I have tG3 TweaksBox installed, and had all weather effects checked for the lock screen. It now shows rain all the time, been like this for days. I unchecked the box, restarted and the same. I don't even have the weather checked anymore, but it's showing rain on the lock screen.
I checked location to make sure gps is set for my location, and it is.
Any help to reset this would be appreciated.
PS. No, it's not been raining here for days either
Thanks!

i had the same problem... for me it helped to put the lg smart notice widget on any homescreen.
my smart notice widget has to update itself that my weather effect changes on the lockscreen.
Thanks! I actually had that widget on a screen, and I didn't realize it was showing rain too. I hit refresh an it fixed it.

Show Weather Icon in Second Screen (like V10)?

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.

Lmao I have the same case as you
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.

IMO the best case for V20. I tried 3 others and Poetic won hands down!

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

Oh yeah that case caught my eye as soon as i saw it
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...

Hmmm, this sounds promising. Would you be able to take a photo of yours showing this? The weather here is not changing much for the next few days (REALLY hot and gross!).

Does your weather app update regularly?

Mine doesn't. I have to manually update it even though I have the weather in home screen. This is stupid. It's there a way to update like hourly?

Yep
How?
How?
Think mine does as well.
There are times I'm not paying attention to the weather and the temperature # will change on the widget without me opening the app and manually refreshing.
Have seen it happen on at least 2 occasions that I can recall. Don't really use the weather app that much in the first place
My weather widget doesn't update. I've heard it might be a bizarre issue where it doesn't update in the EU region. Possibly a GDPR confirmation missed at one point. I didn't want to try this method for my reasons, but you could try setting your phone region to India, for instance, creating the widget and letting it detect your location. If that succeeds, you can revert to your region and the thing should then work, in theory. Let me know if you succeed.
I not working ,you can set up automatic update at night. Between 23 and 7!! Who need update when sleep.
I use Google widget At a glance and its working without any problem. Everyone have it in widget - Google
Only option I have is overnight crap. The weather is so unstable in this part of the world. I need to be able to update at least hourly, automatically of course.
Even if it does update during the night, at 6pm your widget will still be showing weather from 7am
I tried "simple weather & clock" by difer, which almost made it. I realized if you use 3rd party weather app, the time on notification bar stays on, in home screen. Which is annoying because I only want 1 big time shown on weather app that also allow me to access timer and alarm. Who needs 2 of same time shown on home screen? I rather have defect stock weather app, looks neater at least..
I also have the clock always in the status bar. Except for when a notification arrives, or right after unlocking it. It's connected to the default launcher and I'm using the Poco Launcher. I need my app drawer
If you don't want the clock in the status bar, you could use the MIUI clock only widget, and then just a separate widget for the forecast.
