[Q] Can't remove weather widget from lockscreen - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Go To Settings then lock screen then lock screen widgets then change personal message to clock now come back to lock screen setttings and additional information tab is accessible and can be turned off and then u can also change back clock to personal message

Lockscreen apps

Hi all,
I have strange problem at Lockscreen, when i press the back button at Lockscreen a grey squre appear and the only option is to slide to unlock the screen.
Please see Attached file
I've look at the Lockscreen settings but there is no option that is talking about apps (already disable it).
Hope that someone is having the same problem.
Thanks,
Roy.
I'm not sure what you mean. But if you want to add a widget scroll the top half until you see a plus sign, tap it and choose a widget.
If it's short cuts, that's done through the menu somewhere like in your pics

It is not really a problem. I don't really understand you too but if you want apps on the lockscreen you have just to go in settings and when you are in the lockscreen there are in. When you swipe widgets pages the apps disappear and you have to swipe to the top for seeing it.

thr s always two way to access lock-screen setting;
setting > display > lock-screen
security > lock-screen (or screen lock)
on lock-screen option u press on it (instead of disable/enable toggle) then u will go to complete setting of lock-screen
:good:
Maybe I didn't explain myself I want to disable the widgets so I will not get the grey squre.

Removing or moving clock on lockscreen?

Hi guys, is there any way of removing or even moving the clock/date on the lockscreen?
Yes there is. On lock screen swipe your finger down from the clock to reveal an arrow pointing up on the bottom it analogies your lockscreen shortcuts. Press and hold the clock and drag it to the trashcan. Then you can add another widget.

Disable clock widget on F320S
If you're using the Korean version and trying to remove the dual clock, go into system settings -> apps -> all -> clock widget and disable that app.

Just add a standard clock widget to your lock screen. From your lock screen, click the '+' button (swipe left if you already have other widgets) and then unlock your phone to see a list of widgets. If you don't see a clock widget listed, download one from the Play store.

It should automatically add a clock and the message will go away itself. Try sliding to the right (or left) on the lockscreen.

You cannot just keep it empty like that. However, you could try getting a widget which is completely transparent and putting it there, then you won't be able to see it.

I don't see an actual widget for it. But go into setting>lockscreen>additional information >turn it on then check weather. In the lockscreen setting also make sure show date is checked.
I think that is what you're asking. Mine is transparent on my lockscreen, but can't remember if I made it that way or rom I'm running lol

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
