I an using a weather widget ( tried many ), and the big clock in any widget of them, sometime freezes, when the phone is asleep. Sometime even it remains asleep ( different from the small clock in the status line) for some many seconds.
This happens only after upgrading to B560 .
Is there a solution for this ? I have tried many weather apps, either using the drawer style home screen or the Nova launcher.
Appreciate any help

This happened to me with Marshmallow. Go into settings, select permissions manager, then trust the app. It might be a little different in nougat, but the idea should be the same.

I just installed new official 6.5 rom so I will see how it goes on my TD2.
My question is: how do you activate that weather effect on whole screen, rain drops, clouds etc.?
It show 2-3 times at my home screen, don't know what I pressed, but is there any way to get that effect when I like? (so I can make fun with my iPhone friends ). Seriously, is there how to activate it?
It go automatic after weather update tab for home city...
No, it still doesn't work for me.
It showed 2-3 times when I installed new ROM, but since then I cannot see that effect, no matter if I update weather forecast.

tap on the programmlist on the taskbar and close it
If you hit the windows button, and afterwards the back button you'll get the animation for the current weather condition.
cheers
It also runs the animation if you hold the "Home" button when on the Home Tab to lock the screen and then unlock.
For some reason it only works with the default wallpaper though.

I was going nuts when trying to get the damned effects _off_ and custom wallpaper did the trick!
Yes, I tried everything, close it, windows/back, it didn't work.
I works ONLY with default wall paper!!
Damn, I just installed wallpaper changer
Guess that this is bug then or not

If you take the phone outside, you always get the correct weather on the screen
yes it only works with default wallpaper only. Does anybody know if with manila 2.5 also works with default wallpaper only?

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).
I have tried switching to a static wallpaper. I will report back.

I've always been on a static wallpaper and I still get the issue. I'd be curious if it helps you.
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.
is there a way to open another app when you tap on the standard asus weather widget?
i tried using tasker but couldnt find a way, any other apps that can do this?
i want ironically to open the accuweather honeycomb app just by tapping on the asus weather widget
this would be great. tapping it to open the weeks forecast.
i stopped using the widget because i noticed that many times when id come back to my home page, the numbers (say 89 deg) was cut off. it was weird, but half og the numbers would end up "cut off" on the screen
I have the same problem, sometimes it's cut in half. But the weirdest thing is: Since the last update the temperature is wrong, about 10 C.
Just to chime in...
I also have the "cut in half" issue often. On top of that I don't get the temp updated on schedule. I set it to every hour and it will randomly update but not every hour. It may not be random, but I haven't spent enough time to determine the pattern.

My Samsung Galaxy S2 has such a widget, which opens the Accu Weather website, when being tapped on.
Search the market place, there's a free Accu Weather widget for Honeycomb with the same functionality, though the design isn't that nice looking for my taste.

It seems to be a bug in the widget, because the system logs say, the Accu Weather servers are unreachable. The widget of my SGS2 always reaches the same servers.

I used to have that, but since using ADW EX Launcher it's a thing of the past. It's almost as if the 'transparent' box which determines the size of the widget somehow becomes smaller so you can get the clean cut on the numbers.
With the ADW EX launcher, you can make the transparent box which controls the overall size of the widget a little bit bigger so you don't get the problem.

In my case the problem with the cut off numbers also didn't happen again ... don't know why. I don't use a different launcher, only a new keyboard. I use the Hackers Keyboard, because it has cursor keys, which come in handy, when answering forum posts

Download "The Weather Channel" app. You can place a widget on one of your screen, tap on the widget to open up the full weather app. I have the said app and works well. Just that the widget isn't as fancy as fancy as Asus' weather app.

Call me paranoid, but I would NEVER install a weather app, that needs the permission to send SMS and make phone calls. Ok, on the TF that's not a problem, but it makes me wonder, what info this app is trying to spy out ... read the details HERE.
I would stay away from this app.
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 had the exact issue just a day or two ago - I just got annoyed and totally uninstalled the widget, restarted the phone, reinstalled the widget and haven't had a problem since. Give that a shot if you haven't?

I'm currently on the stock rom and opened up Titanium Backup to uninstall it. It wasn't named SamsungWidget_Weather as I would have expected. Can you let me know the name of the app that you uninstalled? I'll give your suggestion a try.

Anyone else have this issue with Z.A.D.Mix7 v0.3?
I'm using Transparent Weather and sometimes the time freezes. If I resize the widget, the time updates. This seems to be happening to my calendar widget too, Simple Calendar Widget.
Hoping someone can help with the time not updating as it's driving me crazy. I was fine with stock rom, but had the same freezing problem and was hoping Z.A.D.Mix7 would fix the issue.
-In Power Manager, Smart power-save and Ultra Power Saving Mode are turned off.
-Power management for apps -Simple Calendar Widget Pro - 0 power saving policies enabled.
-Transparent weather clock - 0 power saving policies enabled.
When stock, I had Nova installed, but not the beta version.
Put the Transparent Weather APP under protected Apps, and Also put it on Autorun list Apps (This solved this issue for me in the Chinese version)
