Weather location not sticking - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

So, I feel a little dumb asking. I am sure it is easy to fix, but I am not new to these phones. I am new to nougat though. Ever since the update, the weather widget won't update the location. Any ideas on what to do? I click the icon and it takes me to the current location weather, but when I return to home screen, my location disappears.
Thanks

On the home page, do Menu, Home Wallpaper, Animated Wallpaper, and just pick the background of your choice. You can select animated ones, or just browse to a static image of your choice.
Edit:
I just thought, if you mean the small animation that's on the clock, I've got no idea! The description above gets rid of the weather animated background.
I'm not sure about the question too .. anyway if he meant the background, yes, that is the way.
However I'd like to get rid of the weather altogether.
the thing is when i first got the phone there was no weather at all on the clock calendar thing, but i want to get rid of that, i find it quite distracting
anyway ive just turned it on now for teh sake of peace, its annoying,

It probably wasn't there at first because it's set to use "my location" as default, and that generally doesn't work, so you get no weather.
o yeah thats right, if its my location nothing happens, it makes sense because after i deleted my location thats when it started happening, makes sense !! finally thank god
No weather animation on clock can be disabled

Disable Weather display

Hello,
I have seen a great deal of posts on the improvement of the Weather display / animation. Even some complaining about or applauding its functionality. Oddly though I have not seen any that ask if it can be removed entirely.
I know this is personal choice but for me I don't want any weather to be displayed at all. Can this be achieved?
Cheers.

Do you mean the wallpaper animation, or the animation on the clock?
On the clock.I would really prefer no weather at all on my home screen.

Fair enough. I know how to remove the animated wallpaper, but not the bit on the clock.
I'm sure someone on here must be able to help you though.
To disable weather animation.
1 - go to HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila
and change "HomeWallpaperMode" from "0" to "2" you will end up having your static wallpaper but without weather animation.
or
2 - just select animation wallpaper and choose one of your static ones.and that is it!
Credits go to Polystirenman. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600528
Neither work. The registry change you mentioned is already set to 2. Actually I did that earlier whilst trying to find a solution. Whatever wallpaper I choose I still see the weather.
Not sure you understood my question completely though. I want to get rid of the weather entirely not just the animation.
Plus one on this .. all this weather mania is beyond me ..
no weather on home 4 me too
me too
i would like to get rid of that too, aleady seen in leo themes section under transparent clock and slider but got no response in how to do that
anybody please?

Tried that thanks. All that did was change my wallpaper. Tried changing it to 2 also. Can't remember what the default was anymore though.
Ok people .. once again .. this thread is about disabling ANY WEATHER INFORMATION on home screen. Not just the wallpaper.
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\HTCServices\WeatherService\WeatherService.dll
Rename to WeatherService.dll.back then soft reset. Rename back to restore.
I have created a cab file for it for those who are interested.
Oh yes indeed. Many thanks that is just right!
It works .. just don't try 'weather settings' from the menu !

Definetely good trick.. Thanks
But i'm noticed "world clock" feature also disabled with this setting..
I noticed that too. I suspect they're connected and it's unavoidable.
I do it in a different way. I dont like the bugie effect of disabling the weather DLL.
You can disable "my location" and choose my location as your default clock.
When you update the weather, it will not be updated for "my location" and in this way you get a cleaner home screen.
Whenever you want, you can choose your favorite location and get the weather info for it.

Weather Location Issues

I've used Dutty's No Location thing to switch off the location switching as it was working fine but like others now its been updated to 1.66 its stopped.
Question though, is there any way for me to still have the weather wallpaper in the background if My Location is not working?

add your city manually and select it under the home screen by tapping the clock.

Beautiful Widgets Weather Doesn't Update

Hey guys,
I just installed the JI6 update on my Vibrant yesterday. When I add the Beautiful Widgets Weather on my homescreen it doesn't update. Has anyone else had this problem?
Chad
Did you delete the widget and re-add it?
Check your city information?
Swith from accuweather to google?
Did you check to refresh on waking up the phone?
1. I opened up App Brain and synced it with my phone and all the apps I had installed pre-JI6 were there waiting to be installed. I just chose to install from there again.
2. I put in my location, tested, and also then checked Geolocation.
3. I have it set to Accuweather, I have not tried using Google.
4. Refresh is checked.
Chad
Quick update.
I uninstalled and re-installed Beautiful Widgets. I then put the widget back on the home screen and it now works.
Thanks for giving me the idea of just uninstalling and reinstalling the app.
Chad
Hmm... perhaps just uninstall and reinstall?
Had problems with the weather widget too
I had to uninstall and reinstall but from time to time it seems to time out... in my case I just figured it must have some conflict with something else I installed because the problem is just too random

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
