Hi all
I'm loving the sense clock widget with weather but I have an annoying problem with it; in my home location I don't get any weather information. If I add the exact same location (same capitalisation, spelling etc) manually and set the widget to use that location it works fine and if I leave it on "current location" I start getting weather updates as soon as I leave my local area.
I started pulling some of the APKs with weather in the name from the phone and tried to look at the xmls to see if there was something I could tweak to get it working but the files seem to be in some sort of binary encoding that I can't open, so I'm stuck already.
Anyone able to suggest what to try next to get this working properly?

Try reinstalling the widget. That fixed it for me.

I've removed and replaced the widget from the home screen but it makes no difference, is that what you mean or is there a way to completely reinstall?
I think it had something to do with your provider settings. When I got the Desire I still had my old provider (KPN). I also had this "current locations weather bug" after two weeks I switched over to Vodafone, updated the APN settings, and everything is ok! Hope this helps you a little!

TThanks for this, tried resaving apn details but no change, so annoying that it work everywhere but at home!
I've emailed HTC support about it, got this reply:
Dear Leszek, Thank you for contacting us in regards to weather updates, I can help you with that. The location service for weather updates is based on information from your cell provider and relies on the masts in your area being enabled for this service. If you are in a 3g area disabling this from settings, wireless controls, mobile networks and then updating may help. I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required. Thank you for contacting HTC. Best regards, Mike B HTC

to which I replied
Dear Mike, I do not believe that the problem is with the location service -- as I said, my current location is correctly given as "Cambridge (Current)". Nonetheless, I tried disabling the mobile network, and indeed have now tried all combinations of disabling/enabling the mobile network, wireless and gps, none of which worked. Is there a way to see exactly what weather data the device is requesting? I know I had trouble on a previous phone, which was requesting data for "Cambridge, Cambridge" instead of "Cambridge, UK".

Still waiting for a reply to that one -- it's been a week though, so it's becoming unlikely that they'll actually reply with a real solution.
I have search around and can't find a solution either, at the end, i just remove the time widget, add to the home screen again, and choose city instead of current location...

This is what I have done as a work around but I would like to use the location aware one as it's cool to have the local weather when I commute to work (40miles away), was hoping we could hack the app to make it work better as it doesn't look like HTC are going to finish. I guess I need to dust off my Java skills and start reading about JF's decompiler.
I have the same issue and find it very annoying!
I installed "Beautiful Widgets" and set that up to show the clock with weather set to be location based and it works fine (unfortunately it's not quite as beautiful as the HTC widget!).
Surely this proves that the bug is with the HTC widget and not anything provider based? Anyone else fancy trying to see if Beautiful widgets works when the HTC widget doesn't?
Similarly, the weathernetwork widget works fine for my location whereas the HTC one doesn't
In the first few days it was fine, but now I cannot view some webpage completely.
One is the bookmark called My Verizon it use to display to where I could see the whole page, now the window that opens shows only the first 4 lines and that it.
I am having this same problem on some other sites, and they use to work good.
I have cleared the cache I am going to do the cookies next hope that helps.

Anyone else having browser problems?
I have not got this figured out yet, there is this option that I have not done because I don't know if it will delete all my bookmarks.
(Clear all internet data and reset all setting to default.)
Does anyone know if the bookmarks will be lost?
One of the sites that does not display correctly is Google maps online, does your phone display this correctly?
Have you restarted your phone? I had a problem where the browser wouldn't accept any input in text fields, I restarted and it fixed the problem.

NOPE, everything works great here!
I noticed you only had 10 posts when I checked.
What does VZW support say? What is your signal strength in db when you are having problems (assuming 3G since you didn't say over wifi)? What apps do you have installed?
What is the most active under "Battery use", please list everything.

I have not checked Verizon support, I figured I could get better help here, from people that use the same phone.
Signal strength varies I have the problem at home or at work, at home I have 1 bar, at work I have full signal.
I have not used wifi mostly on 3G service.
Programs I have installed are, Advanced Task Killer, Astro File Manager, Convert Droid, ebuddy, Labyrinth Lite, OI Shoping list, PicSay,ShopSavvy, and Voice Recorder.
I got these programs as soon as I got the phone, they were programs I had on my G1 and my browser worked fine for a few days.
If this was on my home PC I would say that I have spyware on my PC or a virus.
I have not done a browser reset back to default because I did not want to loose all the bookmarks.
Just backup your bookmarks with "bookmark backup and restore" or "bookmarks2sd" you can find both of those on the market.
OK I downloaded and backed up my bookmarks with this program BookmarkBR (Bookmark Backup and Restore) and I reorganized my bookmarks then did a backup.
Then I did a Browser restore back to defaults and it took care of the problem without deleting my bookmarks, this is good because this BookmarkBR does not organize my bookmarks as I expected, so I figured that it did not work with this phone, I had to do a bookmark restore to display my changes, great program this BookmarkBR and it's free.
Thanks for the help.
Please post any issues or problems you have with the ROM here and me or someone else will try to help out. Any development related questions or ideas please post in original ROM thread.
I've been using this rom for four days, but the battery in one day became empty
i love the rom, but i need the battery for at least three days.
with the rom elelinux my battery takes three days to be empty.
sorry my bad english, im portuguese
I have the same problem with battery, i find salsasense is the most usable and graphically pleasing rom available, but the battery life for me (with overclock and full brightness) will only last from 7 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon. (9 hours)
Elelinux will go for around 30 hours, so I am back to a cyanogen based rom, i really miss sense :/
Also the browser would crash constantly, whenever trying to view a non-mobile webpage. (when i say crash, i mean it would close and return to the home screen without my say so, not that it would FC)
I have heard a froyo rom would be better, any recommendations? what exactly am I losing by downgrading to 2.2?

Ok! I will flash back to salsasense, get back to you tomorrow!
Thanks!
By the way, Is there some sort of battery calibrating procedure I should do after the restoration of salsasense? I have been using the app from the market for this as it always seemed to work wonders on my GT540.

My issues with this cool ROM are
1. WhatsApp notification often not working, possibly due to memory issue
2. Disk drive USB connection. Can't get my phone to mount the SD card to my home PC or office Mac.
I have no problem having to charge three times a day with this ROM as long as those two problems are solved
Thanks in advance, and you did a great job with this ROM. Kudos.

You can use any USB mount app from the market, all of them work like a charm...The built-in USB-Mount is a bit buggy.
Also, if anybody wants to have the zoom feature in their camera (notice it doesn't work in the Default Camera App) you can try the Market App "Camera360" it's a pretty cool app

Haven't noticed that issue before.. I will look into it.
I had enjoyed the many features that this GB Sense ROM brought and really like to use this ROM.
However, I also need Text To Speech to work in this ROM as I use audio feedback for my GPS tracking running apps as well as Google Navigation.
It does not look like a simple solution example, replacing a working TTS from another ROM.
Any one any clues? Will we ever have a working TTS for this ROM? Thanks.
i've flashed my g2 touch with salsasense. it works great and fast WITHOUT my simcard in. But as soon as i put my simcard in it, it boots in fine but when i write in my simcode it freezes, and the system forcecloses and it asks for pincode again. Any ideas why this is happening? I've tried 3.0 , 3.5 and 4.0 too but all of them makes this problem. Maybe my flashing method isnt good? (i do it from clockworkmod: wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and from mounts and storage i format: boot system data and cache, and then i select the zip from sd card) please help i really want to use this nice rom!

I think it was to do with a kernel issue, I can't remember what version of LV I included in this ROM. Try flashing a newer version of LV or one of erasmux's experimental LVx kernels. Found in post 2 of the Las Venturas thread.

When i used this rom i had these settings:
1. Processor OC @ 691 MHz max and 245 MHz min
2. Screen Brightness @ 35%
3. Data connection on only when i needed it
4. Widgets only on the first panel
if you keep the data connection on you get 1 day of use for shure, but with it closed you get 2 days without any problems
PS: i don't do facebook or things like that

I can not fix this by rebooting.
It helps then just wipe Data
What can I do, please help me
So this is a weird little issue that started yesterday, same day I got my S4. Air View works fine for every app but the email app. Instead of the full text, I just see this chopped off little text bubble (see attachment). It happens on either of the two email accounts I have in the app, one exchange, one aol (yes, I am ashamed). Already tried to remove both the accounts, clear the app cache, clear app data, then re-add the accounts. Same thing. Wondering if anyone has seen this issue yet or if it's just me.
S4 is stock, no root, no nothing. Had already installed all apps and changed my launcher before the issue started. Can't think of anything off the top of my head that I changed directly before I noticed the problem. Any help would be appreciated, I get a lot of emails and would love to have this working again.

Yeah I did, but I found out what was actually causing it. I was using Light Flow for my notifications and didn't know about the existing issues when you enable it in the accessibility options.
FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW about the problem caused, basically there is a known glitch when you try to turn on Light Flow under the accessibility options. It will try to turn on TalkBack, but only some of the TalkBack functions work, which made it hard to diagnose. Turning on TalkBack, disabling all the settings, and turning it back off won't help, neither will disabling the app. Since TalkBack disables settings such as Air View, some of the functionality is lost when you turn the settings back on. The author of Light Flow knows about the issue and is trying to work on it according to an in app message I glazed over the first time. In the meantime, plenty of other notifications still work if you don't turn on accessibility.
Thanks for the response though, hopefully this info will help others.
I have the exact same issue, except light flow isn't installed. Any other ideas?

Could you have something else installed that's causing the issue? I would disable it, reboot, and try again.
I suppose there's always the possibility something else is effecting it, but unsure what! Tried what you suggested and still not working
The way I fixed the talkback issue was to freeze both Google and Samsung text-to-speech in titanium backup.
I've still never seen air view work anywhere but in the browser though. Maybe there is a setting buried somewhere, I only discovered yesterday that the toggles in motion and gestures settings also have sub-menus with settings for individual features (and also when you tap a feature name and then 'try it' there can be more settings like sensitivity for motion zoom and pan).
Do any of you have a pebble? That'd s what was causing the issue for me. Basically if if talkback is being utilized, airview will not work.

I am using LG Tone+ wireless headphone with n9005 and because I enabled its application in the accessibility options, this error happened to me.
Please check any application that might be installed and enabled under the services under accessibility options and disable/ enable until you find the one that causes this problem.
Hope this would help.
btw, thanks guys for the tip, it gave me the idea

Thanks mofahmy, but you'll see that I figured this out months ago. Also a note for any Light Flow users still having the issue, newer versions of Light Flow and GS4 roms have fixed the glitch.
Ive a problem when trying to activate the Power Saving mode in settings.
when i press it i always get a Force Close on the Settings app. i can press the quick settings button in the notification area, but that does not seem to activate anything.
anyone has any idea? should i try to clear data on the settings app? or will i lose all of my settings?
thx
Anyone any idea?
I noticed that it works now when I use the quick settings tile in the notification pull down. Don't know if that's because I rooted and Uninstalled a bunch of samsung apps.
Anyways it's now also visible as activated in settings, but clicking in settings results in an fc still.
Another thing I noticed is that gsam battery monitor does lose battery stats from time to time, maybe that's because of the same problem.

Please be absolutely sure about what systems apps do you want to remove, specially if they are Samsung packages. I'm cannot be sure but it looks like that is what's causing the issue.

If that is the case, try clearing cache from the Recovery and see if that works. If not, you can always try flashing the latest firmware!
Ok i will try tomorrow. But one question : where can I find the last firmware. I am pretty new to a Samsung device.
Thank you for your help
Edit:
I tried to clear cache and art cache. nothing has changed.
