I'm looking for a simple, stable, free weather app.
All I want is the current temperature and a forecast for the next 36 hours or so.
It doesn't need to run all the time, but will preferably update fairly quickly when started. Nothing fancy needed. I found one that looked promising and would have been fine except that it was convinced I'm in Idaho when I'm in North Carolina.
Any suggestions?

honestly weather app in Clock works for me
Am using weather info provided in clock just have it on my desktop and click first thing in the morning to get the feel for the upcoming day. As long as you have location and background running updates over wifi very quick over 3g not to bad.
Weather apps don't know where I am.
I don't understand why Maps and Navigation apps have no trouble figuring out my location but every weather app I try is incapable of figuring it out.
I tried News & Weather, which comes with the phone, I tried a handful of different ones from the marketplace. They either tell me they can't establish a location or they freeze while trying to.
Any ideas?
Ensure the following
I have the follow enabled on my phone and weather app inside clock works like a charm:
Wireless & networks:
Wifi and 3G
Location and Security:
Use wireless networks
Use GPS networks
Use assisted GPS
Accounts & Synch:
Background data
Honestly has not failed my yet, very simple weather app and already part of the phone.
I made my settings the same. The only thing that wasn't is that I normally have "Assisted GPS" disabled. I still cannot get weather to work.
Froyo 2.2 official release. I just rooted it today, but this has been going on for a few days now, so that has nothing to do with the problem.
Anybody have any more ideas?
Ok I use clock so try this
Click on clock click on weather even if location is wrong click on settings and set my location. If that does not work set your location manually. hopefully that works.
That worked, but I would like to know what is wrong with the locator.
Don't think you have a problem
Sometimes the Cell Tower sends erroneous info and your phone goes nuts. So you have to tell it where you are.
i use weatherbug and i also use fancy widget its great!

So I'm finally posting here to check in on this one....I've had weather widget location issues from day one on this phone. I've read that it seems to be an HTC thing...however I don't see that many in this forum complain about it really. I'm starting to wonder if maybe my phone is just exceptionally bad with this and I should try a new one.
So that said, how's everyone's widgets? I can't get a consistently accurate location with the HTC one or Fancy/BW. Sometimes they work, other times(like now) they put me in another state. All other location services seem to work and give my proper location.
I guess I'm just concerned because it seems to happen across the board, regardless of which widget. Any input is appreciated.
So long as I have data, my weather has been fine from the get-go. I don't know if it matters, but I have Google location services enabled, and Verizon and Standalone GPS disabled. (I'm not convinced that HTC is using Google location services, so that may not matter.)
Now, in HTC's weather widget, you can set up additional cities (I have current--which updates to wherever I am--plus a couple of other locations). Are you sure you're looking at the 'current' city and not a fixed location?

Yep definitely set to current city. I'm wondering now more so if I just have a bad GPS. Strange thing is I never once had the GPS lock issue that a lot of people have had, so I just chalked this up to a buggy HTC thing. But since it's happening across the board now to all widgets, has me wondering.
I've just come from the HD2 and didn't have thjis weather problem.. i've noticed that say i'm on a train, the weather is saying what area i'm in and keeps sayning no weather info available (until i tap it) even though i've turned off any weather sync (unless i tap to maualy update)
I've seen that google maps runs in the background all the time, is it that that is updating my location?
i've turned off latitude btw
baffling me
i dont want anything updating my location unless i do so manualy so just cant get my nut around what is telling the weather where i am
I know this sounds basic, but you do have location unselected in your settings don't you?

errr, settings for what? maps?
So, I side-loaded the stock apps for the Desk Clock and such, and I find I really like the big screen and the desk clock with the weather display. This issues isn't specific to v1.4.3 as I had it with .2 as well but not as often. Of course, the Desk Clock gets its weather information from the News & Weather app...
I know there are no location services on the Nook Tablet, so I uncheck the box in the app settings for determining location and try to set a custom location. When I do this, it says that whatever location can't be found. I put in my Zip Code, says it cannot be found. Put in my city name, says it cannot be found. I even tried major cities like Los Angeles, New York, Washington DC, and nothing can be found.
I read online and a lot of places say that you need to set location services on, agree to some terms of service, then you can set your custom location, but of course the Nook Tablet has no such services.
I have gotten it to work before, but clearing the data doesn't work, there is no cache on the app to clear. I even tried booting into CWM and clearing the Dalvik (that spelled right?) cache and repairing permissions. To no effect.
Anyone else having a similar issue? I know there are probably other desk-clock style apps out there, but I honestly like the stock apps when they work. Any help would be appreciated.
First off, I have to say thank you for this killer app, one of the best Android apps, in the history of Android itself In one click I have a theme in a few seconds, that if I did manually would take me a full frigging day to figure out, amazing.
Question though, on every theme I try it has some different weather location, no my location. I have my location permanent set in my weather app to a fixed zip code.

The problem with this is that the current weather provider we're using is terrible, and it's very difficult to change. We are working hard on switching though, and once it's done there should be no more weather issues :fingers-crossed:
need some help with that too
Yeah, I don't think you can yet. However, it works great for me.
Does it have anything to do with Location Services? The first theme I loaded up showed "location n/a" and I figured it was because I had Location Services turned off. I turned it on and it updated accordingly but now it's kind of hit or miss.

I have the same problem with the location. Hope that this problem will be solve soon.
Have this problem too.
For the last few days, the Yahoo weather provider hasn't worked at all, and now neither does Open Weather Map for some reason. My Widget has been stuck on 27 C since yesterday, and it hasn't even reached 27 C this year lol. The weather seems wildly inaccurate whenever it does manage to update, which is very rarely over the last few days. I found Yahoo to be most accurate, would be great to have that working again and updating regularly.
Are other apps updating that use GPS?

I just realised for some reason my location had been set to device only instead of high accuracy... no idea how that setting changed, but I changed it back and now it works.
