Weather widget only shows time, else is blank - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello my Galaxy S5 Verizon version doesn't display weather on the weather widget. It has been a few days but thought would figure out on weekend. Can someone please help what should I do other than factory reset? I have a screenshot.

Turn location ON

Figured out. Had to clear data in application manager and weather and then just restart and it worked

Another fix for the weather widget
I tried to solve my problem by going into Application Manager and stopping this app and deleting the cache.
However that did not help me.
So, I looked into the Settings / Application Manager / "Turned Off" section.
There I saw that an application named "Unified Daemon" was turned off.
After I turned this back "On", my weather widget was working.

You are a good man, That was exactly my issue. It looked like something I didn't want/need and I never put two and two together. So thank you, very much !

ALL (?) apps being updated...?!

So...my market is going crazy with updating apps...it started with about 7...and now its up to 85! This image has it at the 70s...what's going on? Its not getting any less...it just goes up and down...I usually update my apps as needed but I don't think ALL the apps are due for an update? Anyone else experiencing this? Here is the screenshot...look at the top...

Edit :: Wow...now its at 94...! What the heck is going on?? I tried rebooting the phone...but it made no difference.
Did you set it to sync with AppBrain?
Try going to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications.
Then go to the "All" tab and find Download Manager and clear data for it.

If you're rooted hit up your root file browser, go to system> app> delete anything that says widget. I've tried all the lock screen controls and it does nothing to remove them.
[Edit]: Just be aware when you use this method the clock and the user info may also go bye bye.
You can also disable the native lock screen and install a third party with no frills.

Thanks for your reply. When removing the apk you mentioned it also removed the widget I wanted to use instead.

[Q] Lockscreen rotation fully working?

Has anybody got lockscreen fully working? I'm using wanam mod to enable rotation. but sometimes when it rotates back to portrait, phone crashes and reboots. Also in landscape mode the screen only shows half of the wallpaper, the right half of the screen is black. I remember there was a fix for this problem back in note 1/note 2 days, but I just can't find it anymore. Any suggestion?

Alright, I solved the problem by installing gravitybox and set lockscreen wallpaper from there. and yes, before anyone asks, gravity box works for note 3.

I did a few things before everything worked.
1. Disable unlock effects in system settings.
2. Set wallpaper for both home and lock screen using system settings.
3. Disable any mod that allows multiple widgets on lockscreen and use the option in system settings only.
Try these first and see whether they work for you.

they look more like ads... Do you remember which app you installed before they started appearing?
Try uninstalling that app... It may solve your issue...

that shouldn't be too hard..
If I am correct,the new apps are placed last in touchwiz... try going back in that order....
I will recommend making a list of apps using list my apps or similar app so that u can install the apps that were removed in the process here..
u can also check recently updated apps in my app section in Google play,that may also be doing that..
good luck!!

OK Google is Haunting Me

I intentionally turn off OK Google detection so my phone is doing one less thing, but it still is working and the options are disabled. I've only recently started to notice this. Tried to enable and disable the options again... no joy.

This may be painfully obvious, and I'm not trying to sound sarcastic at all, but:
Have you tried saying OK Google to see if it's actually working? How about just removing the widget from your home screen and replacing it with one that isn't voice activated? Or perhaps both..

Yes, it does work when saying OK Google. Also, would removing it prevent the mechanism on the backend that's listening from working also? Or would the service still be running?
I know that when I removed it, there didn't seem to be any listening going on. I think it uses this process in Maps as well as a couple other GApps, so after removing it you can try it in there/disable it in there as well. If you have root, you can always freeze it with TB. I completely removed it from my phone, so I don't have it to play with to try to find these things out. That's always the first thing I do, so I know very little about tinkering with system apps without root.
You can enable OK Google in settings.
try disabling your google account in settings.
