Sorry, another noobie question and I have tried searching but "weather update" didn't come up with meaningful threads. The weather on my Hero doesn't seem to update automatically unless I open the app itself ie the full screen widget and the one on the clock won't update. If I go into the app it starts to update. Is this normal, a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
it's a known issue; try adding your home town as a known location in the app, and then it should appear, and update, on the widget.

For some reason my weather widget when i'm at home always says 14 or current location, not the city name anymore. it has the correct name when i travel if i toggle gps and update the weather but never at home. is the anyway way to reset it clear the saved locations? I already tried the HTC weather widget in setting but all cache clearing options and the likes were grayed out. thanks for any help.
Quite common problem for users .... HTC and Verizon deny the problem exists though. I don't know of a definitive fix.
I figured out what it is, for me atleast. I use advanced task killer as im sure many eris users do (i know they say you dont need it but my eris can get sluggish with lots of apps running). I tried just not closing weather and it still gave me the issue, then on a whim I tried not closing the clock app as well. Voila! problem solved. It updates when I change position and the only apps I have running when idling are clock, weather, and atk.
That should solve it, just don't close out clock and weather and it should work.

For right now I wouldn't go force killing ANYTHING that was preinstalled on the phone when you got it. HTC Sense works in odd ways. As for me I only force kill apps that I put on the phone myself and I don't seem to have as many problems now (lockscreen lockups, jittery touch screen, touch screen not working).
Anyone having the home screen weather/clock widget not update your current location? and yes it is set to use current location in the settings. Is there anyway to clear the widget data?
I posted about the same issue some days ago.
Finally I got it fixed. I had noticed that each time I went to the clock app and open the desktop clock tab, it updated the current location. So I looked around and found that it was possible to have the weather on the lockscreen, what I did. I also went to settings>applications management>all and force weather main to stop.
I don't know which stage has been efficient but now my location is correctly updated each hour. I think it's worth a try.

I know it's an old thread, but I had the same problem and it got me on the right track. You need to have WiFi location enabled if you're connected to WiFi.
How can u force a location change on thus thing? Although I have refreshed the weather it still shows a weather of a different city I was many hours ago.

EDIT: before you go down and read the last page, as 99% of the posts are irrelevant, what i had to do in the interim for both of these is this:
1) go to the search cities through the widget and re-add the current location screen which immediately found my location
2) once this was done, the lockscreen was still stuck on the previous location, and this was solved by a restart.
Unfortunately forcing an update on the weather, did not change the location. Turning on the GPS did not either. Therefore im not sure if the update frequency changes this would allow for more accurate location service, or its a small bug that samsung needs to look into.

Weather widget is not updating
I notice the GPS turn on at same time weather widget is scheduled automatic update (1 hour), does yours? I also have weather on the lockscreen.
Search first before posting new needless threads.

Just installed the Google Now widget. It's empty and doesn't show even the weather. Do you have the same problem?
Mine didn't show anything until I opened Google Now. Now it is showing just the weather.
Interesting it works nicely on my Nexus 7. On my Hox+ I see just the traffic nothing else.

On my DNA, the widget only shows the weather card, but I have 3 more cards when I open Google Now itself....
Mine is blank too, just shows the search bar
The Google Now widget shouldn't show the search bar. You might have just put on the Google Search widget instead of the Google Now widget.
Check that your weather card is set to always show in your Google Now settings, so you'll have at least that on your widget if you usually don't have any other cards.
If it says there is nothing to display, try tapping the widget, and it will take you to Google Now. If you immediately exit, that should be sufficient to refresh the widget and make things appear.
Thus far, I've seen weather, sports scores, and calendar events show up.
I have the same problem. It was working for a couple hours when I first installed the JellyBean update, but now the widget is empty always. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling google search, still nothing.
I've noticed that it will occasionally be blank, but opening up Google Now itself always seems to resolve the issue almost immediately. How long does it stay empty?
Hi! Facebook rolled an update that adds lockscreen cover feed without having to install the Home launcher. SGS3 is amongst the supported devices but I simply cannot update the Facebook app, play store says it's up to date! Are the updates pushed only to certain groups of people at first? Anyone managed to get the latest update on their SGS3?
Thanks in advance.
I have had this update from 1st august . It s only a matter of waiting .
Sorry for bad english
Greetings
I guess I don't have it. Only was able to get lock screen by adding Home app. Could not figure out how to control icons on lock screen.
I think that s useless

You can't. Standard Home lock screen has three icons: messenger, apps, go to launcher. The new Facebook lock screen has: Camera, Unlock and messenger if I recall correctly.
Is it a pop up notification or a widget?
There are a lot of bad reviews on new update. May be why it has not been rolling out very fast.
