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?

Nexus 7 Won't go back to portrait mode...

Hi,
I need help, I updated to the most recent 4.1.2? i believe. whatever is the most recent build. I updated it last week and today..I can't change it back to portrait mode. It's just in landscape. I unlocked the screen lock and I restarted my device multiple times, but it's always landscape..

Is t just the home screen or the entire device?

Home screen..

Some launchers, e.g. Apex, have settings to force a given orientation. Does your launcher have that feature set?

I found out how to do it.
Go to Settings then Accessibility then check Auto-Rotate Screen

Watch on Widget

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.

There's gotta be a bug then.. Makes no sense.

Surprised this isn't being discussed more. Also no homescreen widget in the GS4, only lock screen and notification panel

Ok Google working but questions

I was browsing around and installed this launcher http://phandroid.com/2013/11/14/how-to-install-google-experience-launcher-with-ok-google-command/ last night. I like it but the icons are huge. I changed ro.sf.lcd_density=360 in build.prop but the icons are still oversized. This is my first time to ever change the dpi so I'm not sure if there is anywhere else to change specifically for the app icons.
So my question is "How can you make just the app icons smaller?"

Is there a way to hide docked apps on homescreen?

Is there a way of doing this? I use Pie to get around as I want more home page real estate. Thanks in advance.

I don't know about the stock launcher but most launchers from the play store will let you hide the dock bar and they give you more real estate and you can usually change the grid size and icon size. I don't think we have these options with stock launcher.
