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

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.

I can't seem to get the Weatherbug or CNN widgets to stay visible. I put them on a screen and they work fine for awhile. Then they disappear. The widget is definitely still they since I can't put anything else in the place it occupies and I can grab it and drag it to the remove Icon. In fact, removing the widget and putting it back is the only way I have found to make them visible again (note: I did not try a reboot or power off since its actually easier and faster to just put them back).
The email widgets (I have one for gmail and one for regular email),calendar widget, bookmark widget and Beautiful Widget Home have worked perfectly.
Seem to only be effecting some of the widgets. Anyone else seeing disappearing widgets?

I have the same problem with the weatherbug widget. It is definitely still there - I can't put anything in its location and i can even long press and drag the invisible widget to the trash can.
any thoughts? Thanks!
I know the CNN widget depends on a network connection, when I'm offline it usually stops showing items. They just didn't code it to gracefully fail, it just shows an empty stack widget.

Yeah, I expect that to happen. I sometimes lose network connection at night (not great signal in my bedroom - which according to my wife is a good thing!). I can understand an empty stack widget, but my weatherbug widget completely disappears. You bring up a good point though, maybe I'll leave it in the living room tonight so it doesn't lose connection and see if the widget disappears. I hope they fix that before the wifi only model comes out.
@OP - do you sometimes lose network connection. Could your problem also be related?
I havn't had any problems with mine
Are you using the stock launcher? I know that on my phone in the past if the launcher runs into an issue this very same widget issue happened.
I have had the same issues with my Cnn widgets and the weather. I have found that if you go in to the actual application from the app drawer it will refresh the widgets. Although for CNN you have to go to each feed for whatever widget you have. ex. tech widget stack, you must go the tech feeds in the CNN app and it brings the stack widget back up. Needs a fix

I don't think that is the problem. It has been on WiFI the whole time (I have WiFi configured to never disconnect) and it's never been out of range of my router.

I'm pretty sure I tried that, but next time it happens I'll give that a shot.
And just to be clear; the widget is literally invisible (not just empty).
When a stack widget has no items it is invisible. It's likely that from time to time the widget update failed and left the empty widget.

Perhaps, but they never seem to recover. I've left them alone for hours and they never reappear. Since it only seems to happen to these two widgets I think the problem lies with the widget implementation (i.e. coding problems).
I'm hoping for an update and until I get one I'm not using the widgets.
It didn't happen for a while now, but it did last night. I lost both the CNN widget and the weatherbug widget and they never recovered. i purposely refreshed all data and nothing. it's a bit annoying as the only solution is to delete the widget (if you long press in the general area where the widget was, it still thinks it's there and I can drag it to trash).

Static wallpaper did not help
Having the same problem with the CNN widget. I'm running LauncherPro and I thought it was the problem but I guess not. It must be a coding issue or refresh issue.
For Weaterbug, switch off "Enable my location" if it is on, and switch it on if it is off. That restores the widget. You can then set it as you wish.
I also have this problem. Mainly with the Accuweather widget disappearing. I use a static background. Stock Kernal. Not sure why it does this but.... I am sure this will get worked out in the upcomming builds.
Two questions about the GS2's Accuweather Widget.
First, it doesn't seem to update the weather without me hitting the update sync, it also doesn't update locations like Beautiful Widgets does.
Second, I'm also using Launcher Pro, but when I try and resize the Accuweather Widget, the blue color back ground doesn't fit.
So anyone know how to resize in LP?
And get the thing to update the weather and locations?
Thanks

Ok, thought so on LP.
What about the updating of the Accuweather widget and locations?
I'm using the AccuWeather Wideget, and I found that disabling the "Enable current location" on AccuWeather causing the high power consumption service "Wifi Sharing Service" disappear from Battery Status list, it used to take 30-40% of my GS2 battery.

Well I've been running Launcher Pro and went back to TW4 today, I had the Accuweather widget running all day with the check mark on Enable Current Location and I have to say my battery life was much better than running Launcher Pro. I didn't use the phone that much today, sat on the desk at home, but push email from K9 was running all day a few text messages ect and for at least 3 hours it showed 100%, right now its at 95%. Thats with WiFi Bluetooth and Sync ON.
When I'm on LP I use Beautiful Widgets, I like how that widget updates your location and weather, but maybe thats whats draining my battery faster than Accuweather.
But exactly what does Enable Current Location do in Accuweather? It doesn't detect my Current location thats for sure.

As my understanding, the Accuweather will keep detecting your location in certain interval to make sure it reporting the weather on your current city and display on the widget. When you have your WIFI On, and you have "Use wireless networks" checked in "Location and security", it will wake up the "Wireless Sharing" service and Accuweather or Voice Command / Voice Talk will use that "Wireless Sharing" service to keep detecting your location, that's why most of the time you see that service drain your battery for 20%-40% daily. Maybe I'm wrong but proved on my phone this method really work.

Thanks Sleepycat, please tell us the result! Hopefully the solution can temporary fix on every GS2 phones' battery problem before Samsung releasing the new firmware.
I think I might have figured out the Enable Current Location feature, it looks like it uses the GPS. Now I'm not sure if it updates on its own like Beautiful Widgets, which btw doesn't use the GPS since I always have it off.

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 uninstalled that [the native weather widget with stock ROM] and this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.accuweather.android
I do like the stock 4.3. Its much smoother compared to 4.2.1.
But what I don't like is the default SMS widget that shows up on the locks screen when we receive an SMS.
Same goes for Miss Calls.
The sms is displayed on the screen itself, so basically anybody could read the sms as it arrives (I dont like putting lock).
I know, there is a setting to disable sms display but that will turn off the displaying of the message on notification bar aswell.
So is there any way to turn off that widget ? I couldn't find any yet.
Infact, this whole lock screen widget thing is not so cool because, as per my experience, if I put widgets, the phone takes up a while (1-2 secs) to wake up.

Had the same question as thread opener. I'd prefer to use dashclock to handle this kind of things, non that Samsung stuff. And, at the same time, I'd like to keep text content readable on notification bar. Is this lock screen notification disposable somehow? I see nothing that could be related to it in settings
Note 2 N7100 - DN3 ROM @240 dpi - MK4
I took the other way to solve this one..
I have actually installed Textra sms client and I have kept the stock Messaging app aswell.
So, now on, the new sms is captured by Textra and displayed on status bar like before. And if I want, I can use stock sms to reply or read, but I prefer textra now. In case you prefer textra, u can actually turn off stock Messaging from App manager and permanently use Textra (or any other sms client) as a replacement.:laugh:
Just install a 3rd party SMS app and disable notifications in stock app.

I managed to obtain what I needed with rom toolbox pro using its auto run manager function. Make system apps visible, than look for a package named com.sec.android.app.keyguard and disable the first receiver, whose lengthy name ends with "missed widget provider". No more notifications on lock screen taking the place of my widgets (namely dashclock)!
Hope this helps, fell free to ask for clarifications if needed. No side effects noted until now, but I seldom receive text messages since WhatsApp has been invented, so it hasn't been tested much. Cheers!

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.

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.
