[Q] Update Weather widget app when locked! - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to set up this phone to update the accuweather widget to update itself when the phone is locked? It will update when I swipe and unlock the phone but it won't until then. I have the setting set to update every hour and to refresh when opening. I am on clean rom 1.0 but that should not matter because it did the same thing on stock. Any thoughts or suggestions would be great... Thanks..

Anyone!

Quick question about CM 10.1 cLock

Hey guys, I was wondering if anybody else had any problems with the cLock widget on CM 10.1? The weather part of it wont update anymore. It's just stuck at the same thing from a few days ago.

Try reconfiguring the settings in Settings - System - Clock widget - Weather panel - Update interval and then resetting the widget (remove it and then replace it). I had a similar problem after updating to the 0308 nightly.

[Q] Accuweather widget not loading correctly on AT&T S4

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.

what exactly is the point of this case? i guess getting info in the tiny window is cool and all, but i get info on the giant screen without the case. am i missing something? does the tiny window stay on constantly or something cool?
yeah, 'cause i can't use the phone all the time, the information in the sview is fine!
So you haven't frozen/turned off/delete "Weather Widget" app?
Add the Weather Widget to your homescreen and check if it updates or not? There is (if I remember right) also some settings for that widget, like update interval and so on.
Last, make sure you got WIFI/Data ON and that widget needs (I think S-View forecast is also taken using same widget) GPS turned ON, you can't manually set location.
Hope this helps

i rechecked all of them and everything is ok. the widget on home screen works like a charm but the weather information on the sview's still stuck in 0 F
Same here
Sent from my SM-N900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Took a fresh stock rom on odin and the weather information works fine. Maybe 'cause i'm freezing some app using titanium backup.
Thanks for the help!
To bring up this old thread, does anyone know how to get the weather information in the S-View window working when you don't use Touchwiz as the default launcher? I temporarily set Touchwiz as default to access the weather widget and changed it from F to C (which worked in the S-View window), but it doesn't seem to update if you then go back to a non-stock launcher, regardless of what you set the update interval to. Mine still thinks it's 13 degrees and the icon is a night time one.
Mine is stuck too at 13 degrees C, but shows day not night.
I think this happened after the last OTA update.

I've also notice the GPS is replaced by Location in settings.
I can't tell if this automatically puts GPS on. I normally have it off.

You can do it from the weather setting or from the lock screen setting. Go to lock screen setting, more information, weather, enable weather on lock screen and Sview. It will only show up if you have one city selected at least or if you have weather setting by location turned on and your GPS is turned on.

Go to setting, lock screen, show information, weather, make sure the lock screen is selected.
I use lollipop and it works fine with and without location on.

Hmmm, is the widget on the home screen working? Add the weather widget on the home screen. Are you on stock ROM? Which ROM are you using? Have you installed any custom mods that changed your systemui? I can tell you that it works here without any problems.

You are very welcome
I have a similar issue, but the weather seems to only update if my gps is set to "High Accuracy". I remember in KitKat, I had it set to "Power Saving" and my weather still updated.
Besides having my GPS on "High Accuracy" if I'm indoors and my GPS is not able to lock on, my weather on my Gear 2 never updates since it's tied into Samsungs default weather application.
I'm on stock de-odex Rom. Can anyone else confirm this? Much appreciated.
P.S. Other weather apps such as Beautiful Widgets update properly, even when set to "Power Saving" so I'm guessing it's an issue with Samsungs default weather app.
What is the stock weather widget? I've installed several and nothing works. I really like the weather on my lock screen. I have the Note 5. Thanks for any help

[Q] Can't remove weather widget from lockscreen

When I updated to Lollipop a weather widget appeared on my lockscreen and I can't figure out how to remove it. Any suggestions?
I assume you're on a stock ROM. Go to Settings>Lock Screen. You should have an option to shut it off there. If not, you'll need to open the Accuweather widget settings and look for the setting there.
