hello to all
nexus 6p October patch rooted with pixel launcher 2 as system app. When i press on the temperature it cant see the weather info and i get "unable to show weather info for current location". weather for my location works in the feed and in chrome.
any suggestions
Open the Google app and press the mic so google now activates. Ask for the weather in your area. Now with the results beside the weather there will be 3 dot menu you can open and add weather app to your homescreen. ?

so something strange happened....i was out for coffee and tried to do the same and it worked...so this happens when am at home....
Same problem here , the message appears only when I'm at home ? Any suggestions ?
Maybe it's your location option you choose, I always use energysavemode and have no issue, if you only choose gps it may not work at your homes.
Did you manage to solve your issue? Having the same on my Pixel 2

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.

Thanks mate! Great!
Two questions about the GS2's Accuweather Widget.
First, it doesn't seem to update the weather without me hitting the update sync, it also doesn't update locations like Beautiful Widgets does.
Second, I'm also using Launcher Pro, but when I try and resize the Accuweather Widget, the blue color back ground doesn't fit.
So anyone know how to resize in LP?
And get the thing to update the weather and locations?
Thanks

Go launcher, launcher pro and adw fail to resize stock widgets correcty.... You can see that in this video too
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uA2wSVzi3Gk
Ok, thought so on LP.
What about the updating of the Accuweather widget and locations?
I'm using the AccuWeather Wideget, and I found that disabling the "Enable current location" on AccuWeather causing the high power consumption service "Wifi Sharing Service" disappear from Battery Status list, it used to take 30-40% of my GS2 battery.

I'll try this now. If it works, you would have solved a problem that has been bugging me since May!

Well I've been running Launcher Pro and went back to TW4 today, I had the Accuweather widget running all day with the check mark on Enable Current Location and I have to say my battery life was much better than running Launcher Pro. I didn't use the phone that much today, sat on the desk at home, but push email from K9 was running all day a few text messages ect and for at least 3 hours it showed 100%, right now its at 95%. Thats with WiFi Bluetooth and Sync ON.
When I'm on LP I use Beautiful Widgets, I like how that widget updates your location and weather, but maybe thats whats draining my battery faster than Accuweather.
But exactly what does Enable Current Location do in Accuweather? It doesn't detect my Current location thats for sure.

Please also disable the following functions beside AccuWeather Enable Current Location:
Voice Command & Voice Talk (preloaded on GS2)
Uncheck Settings -> Use location

As my understanding, the Accuweather will keep detecting your location in certain interval to make sure it reporting the weather on your current city and display on the widget. When you have your WIFI On, and you have "Use wireless networks" checked in "Location and security", it will wake up the "Wireless Sharing" service and Accuweather or Voice Command / Voice Talk will use that "Wireless Sharing" service to keep detecting your location, that's why most of the time you see that service drain your battery for 20%-40% daily. Maybe I'm wrong but proved on my phone this method really work.

Thanks Sleepycat, please tell us the result! Hopefully the solution can temporary fix on every GS2 phones' battery problem before Samsung releasing the new firmware.
I think I might have figured out the Enable Current Location feature, it looks like it uses the GPS. Now I'm not sure if it updates on its own like Beautiful Widgets, which btw doesn't use the GPS since I always have it off.

My live weather wallpaper is also not updating/showing changed weather now. Once or twice it did, and should also show day/night but now it just stays at its current setting.

Click on the widget and change the setting on auto refresh to what you want.
Mine works fine.
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.
Hello all,

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.

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

This the Note 4 forum. You may want to try the Note 5 forum for questions about your Note 5.
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.
