I came to the S5 from a rooted CM11 Galaxy Nexus. On that device I was using Onguard Weather Alerts for severe weather notifications. It seems that it does not work on my S5 for the "Dynamic Locations". It works just fine and as expected if I specify a static location or locations.
Has anyone noted any issues with dynamic locations/follow me settings in background apps? If you found the issue, what was it?
(Location services is on, and set to high accuracy. Foreground apps seem to be able to use dynamic locations/follow me without issue.)

I can't answer your problem, but I can tell you that Onguard stopped working properly a long time ago. I am a SkyWarn weather spotter in Missouri, and I would not recommend using this app to save your life in severe weather. I recommend signing up for severe weather alert texts from your local National Weather Service office, as well as text alerts from your local tv news station if available.

I've looked high and low all over and no one seems to have the issue I am having with the weather widget the SG3 came with...The widget updates just fine at the intervals, but the GPS puts gives me the weather for a city about 45 miles north of where I actually am. I do have it set to enable current location, but no matter where I go, the city never actually refreshes to the location I am at. Is anyone else having this issue? It's driving me insane.
Not too Consistent

I have the same issue. It's pulling in a location that's in a neighboring city. However, it gets it correct in other places. So it seems to be a hit or miss.
Mine never updates my current location either. I have current location checked. O always have to still it manually to get it to update.

I spent a lot of time with this the other night.. do you have wifi enabled? if not, enable it. my gmaps and weather widget both were off target while wifi was off, but corrected afterwards. maybe a coincidence, but I think it uses nearby wifi signals to triangulate its position

Can you get it to update the location by hitting the refresh icon on the widget? When I refresh it, it only seems to refresh weather data, not the actual location. It only seems to update location during interval refresh (which I have set to 3 hours). To update the location manually, I actually have to go into the widget, and click the "+" sign and then select "Current Location". Kinda of a pain. Is this the same for you??
Hey all, I'm looking for a weather app or module that will give me either a constant notification (like the google weather card but just needs to be constant) or sits somewhere in the quick settings (like the one integrated in CM12 is exactly what I would like). A lot of the apps I have tried do give the constant notification BUT they also keep an icon in the status bar which I am trying to avoid. A small handful, such as BrightWeather, offer the option to hide it and is the current one I am using so far. So does anyone have any suggestions on this?
I think amber has option for blank notification icon
Yeah it does, the only problem with Amber is that despite setting refresh interval to 3 hrs, I wakes my device a lot more often than that. I think it had woken to do something >15 times/hour. Tried to go through all the settings and not really sure what it was doing, but the battery drain was too significant
Hi all.
I have an issue displaying my current location using various widgets. Most notably, I want to utilize the Amber Weather widget. After turning on location settings and setting up the widget, I get a general location as "California, California". See screenshot attached.
I have also tested my location with Beautiful Widgets and get the same general location. I would like it to locate exactly what city/district I am in.
Any ideas? Thanks!
No ideas?
I recently upgraded to Oreo and have discovered a few annoying features (why did they get rid of the notification count?), pertinent to this discussion is the ability for a widget to periodically update its content.
For example, I have a couple of weather apps which allow a widget to be placed on the screen which will conveniently display current weather conditions. The apps themselves allow the user to determine the frequency of updates ranging between 15 minutes and a few hours. However, since this Oreo upgrade none of my widgets are updating the data within the widget itself. I can open the widget and it will update at that point, but they will not do so automatically as they had done previously.
Looking over the change log, I'm wondering if this has something to do with limiting background services for battery life extension?
I've gone into the settings and turned off power saving mode, turned off app power monitor, even enabled high performance mode. None of this seems to alter the widgets updating.
Any ideas?
As discussed here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8-pro/help/push-notifications-to-apps-delayed-t4088925 I've issues with background apps. I've no problem with notifications but with location.
I used to use the RunKeeper widget to start it but with the 8 pro this no longer works. When I open RunKeeper it takes a while to get location and then I can start it. I suspect that the missing background location information is the cause of the unresponsive widget. I've disabled all optimizations for RunKeeper I was able to find without success.
Any suggestion how to fix this?
