Hey guys, did some searching and could not find the answer.
Im coming from a Motorola Milestone and just got the Evo 3D last night. On my milestone I used beautiful widgets as a 'Super Clock'. This app was able to get my current location and specify the weather accordingly. The stock clock widget on the Evo does not do this though. I have tried turning GPS, sync and everything else on, I have checked all settings I can find.
Is there anyway of syncing the stock clock/weather widget with my current location?
I like some features of the stock one, thats why I dont want to just use Beautiful Widgets.
Thanks guys,

I would say just make sure network location and GPS are turned on in settings, and then in acct/sync make sure weather is set to sync too.

What clock are you using,
Go to personalize then add widget, hit clocks and the first one should be weather clock.

As I said, I am using the Stock weather clock. All that shows up beside the weather is "Ontario" Yes I am in Ontario, but thats a pretty big place. I want it to sync to my GPS location.
click on the weather portion of the clock to bring up the forecast and such, the click your menu button, press add, then search for your specific city or area and it should gove you weather for that place you select.

A city is a city, and weather is an estimation, at best. It sounds like it is tracking you just fine. To get any better weather you will have to walk outside.
EDIT: could be a Canada thing too... Maybe it is limited by how far north you are.

The problem was it was focused on ONTARIO, that's a pretty huge estimation IMO.
A Canada thing? How north I am? I am more south then a good number of Americans. Dont think my Igloo stops GPS that much!
I got it to work after deleting the widget and adding it again then deleting all added cities and just leaving it over night, it finally synced with my location after about 8 hours.

I am a recent android convert, and wasn't a decent weather app. I am coming from bb and used berryweather. I entry my home location to be found via gps and update at regular intervals. But I also wasn't to have a bunch of cities saved to scroll through.
Thanks

^^^ 1st of all, welcome to the Android World.
I have beautiful widgets which is pretty cool.
It has a weather widget which shows the weather like the one on HTC Phones.
Just Google it, Yahoo it or Bing it.
I'm quite happy using the GenieWidget.apk pulled from the nexus one, this gives you 3 widget options to add to your homescreen, news, weather, and news with weather combined.
cheers,

Beautiful Widgets coalited with The Weather Channel works great.
another BW fan here!
I like weatherbug elite...it does what you are describing!
Beautiful Widgets for me, great app and very customizable.
Fancy Widgets... all the way mate.. it looks amazing and its free
since you're on ur XDA app ... maybe this link will take you to the Market... market://details?id=com.fancywidget.androidClick here
weatherbug elite is nice, i dot use widgets but when i open the app it shows a lot of info. they have a free version.
Before I switched to this vibrant I had a 9700 bold and I used berryweather. The home screen thing was neat, and there is nothing exactly like it, but Weatherbug Elite does alot more, the radar is much much better, but you can't customize it like Berry weather. I love in Berry weather , it showed an arrow which way the storms were going, that was nice, but android is 1000% better then 'the industry standard" blackberry.... haha
i like stock froyo news/weather app/widgets
In terms of raw info, weather data, and speed of map data, I have found My-Cast to be the very best. It's clearly the best on the iOS platform, but on Android, while presenting almost as much info, isn't nearly as refined - it's simply another animal altogether, but still very good. I love to scroll through the weather maps.

what app/widget is this one? looks clean enough. right now im using the weather channel app
How about "The Weather Channel"
+1 Beautiful widgets! yeah you have to pay. but i think its hands down the prettiest UI.
I use the free WeatherBug app. It now has an animated radar so you can see where the storms are moving. This one and Tide Prediction are my two favorite apps that I use while boating in South Florida.

That's stock Froyo app/widget which comes with news also. It pulls data from weather channel and has by hour forcast too. I think its the best
For a simple 1x4 widget (other formats are available), I'm pretty happy with the uncreatively-named "Weather Forecast Widgets v2" by Francois Deslandes.
I like a simple weather/temp list for the next several days, and it can be easily configured that way. You can select NOAA or Google servers (I find Google to be more accurate, which is kind of lame when you think about it...)
http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/org.koxx.forecast_weather.v2/
Still, I'm going to give Animated Weather a shot, it looks pretty cool...
Weather and toggle widgets on the market. The clocks and weather are customizable and the animations are great. There are so many ways to change it to your aesthetic preference.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!
Is anyone else experiencing this on their phones? When clicking Beautiful Widgets that would normally launch say Alarm & Clocks from hitting the time, or Calender from hitting the date, or the weather from hitting the weather, it doesn't launch - or takes multiple presses to launch? Anywhere else on the screen I touch will respond, just the BW area doesn't. BW recently had an update via Market, so I'm not sure if this bug is new. I've reached out to the developer, but have yet to heard from him, and wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this too...

When trying this or the one that came with TW I can't seem to get my location to update properly? when using Fancy Widgets it appears to get my location properly though. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

That I'm not sure of, everything is working on my Verizon GTab 10.1, try checking your location & security settings, Also check settings inside the widget.

Thanks for the advice. I checked both location and security settings along with the settings inside the APp of itself. It does refresh location but it's not close to where i currently am. I can look at google maps and it shows me almost exactly where i am but these two apps seem not to like my cities or areas.

Well the location information for Weather/Temperature is coming from AccuWeather. I two have had this mix of weather/temperature issue of different apps, ex accuweather is showing on location and temperature while weatherbug is showing a different location and temperature. Same has happened with my phone and fancy/beautiful widgets as while.

Ok?
On my old HTC Tilt 2 I had an animated weather part on my home page that updated automatically.
What app can I get to have this type setup? Free is preferred.
GO Weather is what I'm using, sounds like what you'd like. Widget, lock screen and/or live wallpaper.
This appears to be the one I want. How do I get it to replace the one on my home page?
I'm on GO Launcher, so not sure if TouchWiz is the same, but if you want to swap widgets, a long press on the existing should give you an option to delete. Then menu-->add-->widget should give you a menu option of GO Widget, where you'll find weather.
Try 1 or both of these...

Beautiful live weather is a live wallpaper, You can set your own background picture and just use whatever clock etc you have on top of it

I have tried the ones mentioned, but have not found the one I want. The one I had with my old phone would show rain and windshield wipers if it was raining and wind if it was windy, etc.
Are there any like this out there? It also would automatically update the temperature every so many minutes.
Beautiful Weather has the options for unlock animations which looks pretty sweet.
HTC sense 3.5 4.0
I assume your last phone was HTC with sense 3.0 or 3.5 sadly there isn't any company that does software like HTC does alot of companies try but just can't get it exactly like HTC so your out of luck there. Beautiful weather is as close as it gets to what your looking for. HTC does best software lacks in hardware and displays. Samsung does best in Displays and hardware software they leave that to app developers unless it's Bada . Motorola ok software good hardware ok displays software may get alot better now that Google owns them we'll see. Sony pretty good software, last years hardware, ok displays. I wish we could get HTC sense on Sammy phones it would be sick. Oh this is all my opinion so please don't flame too much.
I tried Beautiful Weather, but it would not take my location which is Dallas, Texas. When I did the auto it came up with New York.
There is a Sense app, so I may try it.
I am also hoping to get an app that will automatically pick up the local weather wherever I am. For example if I am in New Orleans, it would show New Orleans weather plus what locations I have saved.

Weather bug elite is pretty decent and stays upto date with just about everything weather wise. Nothing really compares to sense.
I like beweather and I got it for free from getjar
What you describe with windsheild wipers, rain, etc. is on my wife's Android, I believe as a live wallpaper. She's had hers for over a year so its been out a while.
Do you know what app it is?
I just checked, it is a HTC phone, not sure where/how that setting is made - it appears on top of her personal wallpaper.

HD widgets is hands down the best. its beautiful, it has widgets for every screen size from 4" up to 10.1" including specific sizes for the Note. It as plenty of options too.

Heyy guys,
yesterday I installed mysense dx rom. I think I did it the right way... not sure because i'm really nooby but here is my problem.
the weather clock and the weather widget don't show a sun or a cloud, rainy cloud and so on also on the weather widget itself it does not show anything and before i installed the rom it always did.
i live in the netherlands but earlier my location always said 'current location'' but now it only says rotterdam, london, new york, barcelona.
but with the rom you get the option to set weather animation on your lockscreen. I use that option and it shows the weather on that but not the weather widgets on my homescreen.
any ideas how i can fix it because i really like the weather animations.
Thanks,
Nigel
in the weather app, try swiping up or down and it'll get to the good location. Try the refresh sign above on the app, and be sure you're connected to internet.

i already tried that but it doesn't show the weather
on the weather clock it says; my location, and under that it says no weather data available
That always happens to me, I just press the refresh button, when it looks like this.
Note that it says "current location" on the left top corner, if you're not on that one it won't work.

Here is a transparent accuweatherwidget 4x2
Working well on my phone after some adjustments to make it look good on S Advance
Note: if the default screen of 4x4 is change, to 4x5, sadly it squishes the app so things don't look quite right. this is made for standard 240 dpi.
Install with CWM or TWRP (mount system first).

As always I recommend you back up your original. I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong that could break your phone or make it go poof.
Hope you like it...
Looks cool! Thanks for your Work!!
If you don't mind then do try the same for Lockscreen (I meant the weather notification/widget on the lockscreen) :fingers-crossed:
Love your work. But if you could develop it for lockscreen, it would be Godlike

yea it does get messed up if the default dpi for phone is different from 240... on roms with the 4x5 screen the 4x2 is not as deep as on standard 4x4 screen. would need to change a lot of stuff to make it fit LOL... maybe when I gots time..
Thank for this!
I missed it from GB
Is there a way to make the widget auto update location upon the hourly refresh?
I have the option selected, but it never refreshes the location, only the cities I have listed under "My Cities".
