Apparently Weatherbug is a known "bad battery" App on the 6P. Does anyone have a suggestion for an app that can display the current temp in the notification area without eating the battery?
Weather Timeline is IMO opinion the best weather app out there. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather&hl=en
I use Weather Underground. It has a pretty accurate forecast and pretty widgets.

It was recommended to me earlier in the day, and while Weather timeline is $0.99 its probably the best weather app ever that ive come across. So I also recommend it.
Is it battery "friendly"?

I have my location set to a specific location (Example: San Francisco) which means I don't have to have location on, and still update weather info. It doesn't even show up on the processes under battery stats and I've had the app this whole day. So imo, yes, very battery friendly, but it depends on how you use it.
I use the AccuWeather app. It is very minimal on battery life and I have location enabled. Its also very accurate and is what most of the other apps use as their weather source anyways.

The weather on the home page with v1.5 you could add locations with a map search. I noticed that with v2.1 the map point location 'tool' is not there. I am trying to load certain locations to my weather and 2.1 version doesn't list any cities like version 1.5 did.
Is this a bug or a change? or am I missing something?
They expect you to know where you want to know the weather or else why would you want to know the weather? Confusing
Confusing, yes
Whether or not I know the weather is neither their business nor mine? I'd rather know whether the weather is more pleasant rather than not, in places i'd rather be....whether here or there.
author unknown. It's better that way.
sorry if I'm wasting time. Thanks to all of you who helped all of us who need "Eris and Android 2.1 for Dummies"!
All punning aside, I love the animations on screen. The rain drops had me nervous the first time they came up. The clouds passing by was neat. I think my favorite is the sunshine's aura.
There are TONS of complaints about the Eris weather widget. It's a flaky one for sure. We have three Eris's in my house and have yet to get all of them to work correctly, in spite of me spending lots of time on the phone with HTC. Mine actually works pretty well right now. My wife's would never display the correct city, but we could get close. After upgrading hers, it showed the correct city for the first time EVER...for a little while. The next day, it would only say "current location".
Sometimes your computer monitor makes a fantastic sounding board. As I sat here typing this, a thought popped into my head on the subject. Just grabbed the wife's phone (and some boob on the way by ) and went into settings>location and found that GPS was enabled, but network location was not. Turned on both and voila`...the correct city name popped up. Check your location settings. That's all I got for ya...I hope it works.

I have another issue with the HTC weather/clock widget. I've reloaded this new ROM 3 times already to see if there was an issue with installing other clock/weather programs but I have not been able to fix it.
On my home screen, the weather shows correctly (current location) and updates much quicker than the 1.5 ROM did.
When I tap the clock, by default it goes to "Desk Clock" Where it shows the time, weather and across the bottom you can choose between the world clock, alarm, stopwatch and timer.
The problem I am having is that the weather in this screen is stuck on Akron, OH. While I don't have anything against Akron, I don't particularly care about the weather there (its 640 miles away). I've deleted the location in the weather widget settings but every time the "Desk Clock" loads, sure enough, Akron, OH weather is displayed.
Anyone else with this problem?

Have you tried deleting the stock widget and then adding the htc weather widget and setting a certain location where you live or current location? When you add the new widget it asks what city or current location you want it to default to. I got tired of seeing it set for 14 or current location instead of the city so I just set it to Baltimore as its the closest major city.
hope this helps

I'm not having any problems with the stock time/weather widget on the home screen. It's the desk clock app that also shows the time. If you tap the clock on the home screen it takes you to the different clock, alarm, stopwatch, timer apps and the desk clock app shows the time, date, and weather. It is here that the weather only displays Akron, OH. My home screen updates as expected and about 5x faster than the 1.5 ROM.
Anyone know about a better battery indicator that shows percentage instead of colours?

Battery Indicator Pro. Worth the money for me.
I donloaded the lite version and it seems to work ok.
Only it comes up in addition to the original one only in the other corner.
Does the pro take over the original?
Bat Stat simple widget on home screen that does fantastic job.
I loved the Bat stat widget. !
Does anyone's widget display the right percentage?
When my tab is fully charged widgets show 86%... I've used a few too.
Usually the little battery icon in the status bar is indicating a higher battery level than what the widgets are reporting to me... Anyone else getting the same?
Do #*0228# . It will show actual data from system. Mine shows exactly the same.

Try "Free Power Widget" by BK Mobility, which you can find in Android Market. It's cool and shows the battery percentage in a nice widget.
I use the switch pro widget which has all the switches you need plus a % battery indicator, all in dark grey and really unobtrusive.
Try typoclock, clockr and battstatt. Awesome on the tab!
Hi guys,
is there any way to get the nice battery mod from samsung galaxys into the samsung galaxy tab ?
xxx.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765419
Youll have to wait for devs to start tinkering before you can change/mod the current battery icon. 3rd party apps will have to do for now.
So again...what about chaning the battery icon???

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.

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??
...since a few days, the live tiles of my weather apps (Weather Flow, Accuweather and Weather View) and calendar apps (Appointile, Week View)
don't update any more. I am not aware that I did some changes on the settings. Any suggestions?
Are you running your device with Battery Safer enabled? Battery safer disbales Push as well as Background Processes and those are what is responsible for updating the tiles.

No, Battery Saver is off and I m getting Push messages..
I am also having this problem. I double checked that the background process is enabled for amazing weather, it is. Also, other tiles are updating, everything except for the me tile.
Mine doesn't. I have to manually update it even though I have the weather in home screen. This is stupid. It's there a way to update like hourly?

How?
How?
Think mine does as well.
There are times I'm not paying attention to the weather and the temperature # will change on the widget without me opening the app and manually refreshing.
Have seen it happen on at least 2 occasions that I can recall. Don't really use the weather app that much in the first place
My weather widget doesn't update. I've heard it might be a bizarre issue where it doesn't update in the EU region. Possibly a GDPR confirmation missed at one point. I didn't want to try this method for my reasons, but you could try setting your phone region to India, for instance, creating the widget and letting it detect your location. If that succeeds, you can revert to your region and the thing should then work, in theory. Let me know if you succeed.
I not working ,you can set up automatic update at night. Between 23 and 7!! Who need update when sleep.
I use Google widget At a glance and its working without any problem. Everyone have it in widget - Google
Only option I have is overnight crap. The weather is so unstable in this part of the world. I need to be able to update at least hourly, automatically of course.
Even if it does update during the night, at 6pm your widget will still be showing weather from 7am
I tried "simple weather & clock" by difer, which almost made it. I realized if you use 3rd party weather app, the time on notification bar stays on, in home screen. Which is annoying because I only want 1 big time shown on weather app that also allow me to access timer and alarm. Who needs 2 of same time shown on home screen? I rather have defect stock weather app, looks neater at least..
I also have the clock always in the status bar. Except for when a notification arrives, or right after unlocking it. It's connected to the default launcher and I'm using the Poco Launcher. I need my app drawer
If you don't want the clock in the status bar, you could use the MIUI clock only widget, and then just a separate widget for the forecast.
