My weather always says "New York" on the home screen.
I can add my home city, but it always comes up as location 2. When I go to edit, only the added locations show.
How the hell do I delete New York??

Click the edit button and you should see your location and New York.

When I click the edit button, there is only my location listed there.
New York is not shown there at all.

Are you in or near New York? It seems that by default it picks up your current location (from Google location services) as slot 1. Try starting over by clearing the data in the "weather" app from the main applications menu (main settings>applications>manage applications>all) and then add your city in the widget settings (click and hold, then drag the widget to the lower left of the screen) and then choose the city that you just entered on the first page that says "select a city" at the top. It should always display that choice by default on the home screen. The integration isn't perfect between the widget and the weather app.
OMG, what a buggy POS this widget is!!
I finally thought I had it working, it was showing my current location all day today in various locations and New York was completely gone.
Now, I just swapped batteries and when it restarted New York was back and I can't get my current location (which is a 7 hour drive away from NY) to show.
I loaded LauncherPro Plus in the phone today, and using that (which really flies) I can use Weather and Toggle Widgets. The Weather and Toggle flip clock/weather looks identical to the HTC version and with that the weather works perfectly. The only problem is, the clock/weather is slightly smaller than the HTC version because of the high def screen so I would really rather use the HTC version.

I just tried this again. I added my home city, then dragged the widget to the lower left. That gave me a select city screen with two choices. The first one was "current location" and the second was "New York". I clicked on current location then done, but the stupid widget still says New York.
I even did a factory reset today trying to fix it and even that didn't work.
I guess I'm giving up on the POS at this point.

Add your city in the widget. Drag to the lower left "edit", then on that screen where you see "current location" and "new york" click "add" in the upper right corner. Add your city there in the widget edit screen, not the weather app, then select it on that same screen after it's added. Sorry, works fine for me. I even tried clearing app data and re-adding different cities a couple times to be sure, can't understand why you're having the issue. Also, to use the "current location" option, make sure Google location services are enabled. I use current location mostly and it follows me accurately from city to city. Hope you can get it worked out...

I use the Sense UI "Weather" on my HTC HD2 (Leo; T-Mob USA) all the time for riding. I recently started using the Windows default Today screen, but the weather is incorrect. I've updated it, tried downloading on Quick GPS, etc. The weather is always wrong. If I switch back to the Sense Today Screen, the weather is correct. If I update the Sense weather, it is still correct. If I switch back to the Windows Default Today Screen, the weather is incorrect. I update Windows weather and it is still incorrect. In other words, if I use Sense, the weather works, and if I change back to WM UI the weather shows some place else... don't know where. I think it's a location issue?
1. Is there a way to set or change location for the Windows Default weather application? If I tap it, it just updates.
2. Does Sense use a different weather application?
3. Has anybody else had this issue?
Any help would be appreciated. I use the weather app all the time throughout the year, and would like to try using the Windows default screen for a change.
OK, for other people that are in the dark ages and still using WM 6.5.x like me, I figured this out. I was using "Home Screen Customizer" to change a few things around on my Today screen. When you tap the weather on the Today screen it just updates. I had to open "Home Screen Customizer", go to "weather", choose "Edit", and type in my location. Don't forget to hit "Search" after you type in your location, and go through the selection procedure for "Home Screen Customizer" before you save and exit. In other words, don't just exit without checking the softkeys at the bottom of the screen to make sure you've selected the city.
Hello all,
I"m just wondering how the Sensation and Evo 3d both have the weather on the home screen back ground once you unlock the screen. Why does this phone not have the same back ground weather feature on the home screen?
I believe it does. On the home screen if you hit the personalize button , when the menu comes up you will see the option "lockscreen", hit that then move over to where it says weather. Hit apply, hit the poeer button then see if it comes up after it unlocks.

It's also there as a live wallpaper. Under the wallpaper section if the same place.

Just make sure you have the HTC Weather Clock on your homepage and make sure that under Weather options, Show full screen animation is checked.
To check this, just hold down on the widget on your screen and drag it to the edit option. Select your city then you'll get a single option under Weather options to show full screen animation.
I just tried this out and as soon as I unlock the screen on my Amaze, I can see the weather effects flowing across the home screen.
He wants the wallpaper to show current weather. It's a live wallpaper. Press personalize button then wallpaper then live wallpaper then select weather.. I think that's what he's talking about..

If you look at his first post, he's asking to "have the weather on the home screen back ground once you unlock the screen."
If you look at his Youtube link, at 2:19, you can see the guy unlocking the screen, then the weather effects appear. This is the same as showing the full screen animation under the weather options for the HTC Sensation Clock.
You can try it right now and you can see you'll get the same effects.

odd this is not working for me...
I even removed the widget and replaced it... I get plenty of animation on the lockscreen just not on the homescreen after unlocking. It is sunny here so I should get a lens flare and the sun should grow larger for a second. That is not happening.
Odd indeed. Just to check my sanity, I re-added the HTC clock widget (the first one out of the 17). When it asked me to select a city, I selected current location, then it moved to the Weather options tab and I selected Show full screen animation.
As soon as I did that, I didn't even have to lock my screen to see the weather affects across my whole home screen. I did lock my screen then unlock it after to see if the effects were still there and they were...
Not sure why it's working for me and not others

Ok, I sort of lied... What I really did was go to the widgets find the one and tried to get to the weather options. Well I got there but then it added the same widget twice essentially. I only deleted one. This time i removed that widget completely and then long pressed where I wanted added and even prompts the weather options for fullscreen. Made sure it was checked and now it is working
TL; DR Remove the widget completely and then add it back making sure the option for full screen animation. It will then start working!
Awesome, glad I wasn't crazy haha.
Hopefully this is the answer the OP was looking for

Ok so this might be to dumb to alot but I can not seem to find the settings or more specifically the "my apps" int eh google play store app. The only option I really have is the magnifying glass for the search feature. If i clear the data and cache then when i upgrade again it shows me them but obv I don't want to have to do that everytime. Anyone else know how to find the my apps in the app?
For me, My Apps only shows up when on the Play Store home page or when viewing the Apps section of the store. It shows up in the menu next to the magnifying glass. If I'm viewing music or books, then it shows "My Music" or "My Books" instead.
Mine doesn't even do that...Also besides first finding the picture and then clicking share and selecting the gmail app...Does anyone know if there is a way to add an attachment to your email from inside the gmail app? I've tried to longpress to see if maybe that would bring up some options but it does nothing. Kinda frustrating all in all.
That's really weird about your Play Store "My Apps" not showing up. As for Gmail, when you're composing the email, tap the menu in the upper right then select "Attach File".

Hi all newbie here and did a few searches and tried to look for help but could not find right info, also I hope I am in the right spot to post so please feel free to tell me if I am not in the right place. Currently running ICS 4.0.4 up-to-date at time of writing on Vodafone Australia but I don't think the country of service provider is the problem. I have a problem with my 'Home Screen Dock' NOT THE 'Lock Screen Dock' I can change icons on the lock screens no problems, All the help, forums and videos on changing the 'Home Screen Dock' Icons say to simply drag, drop[ and replace. All i wanted to do is change the stock "Internet" Icon with Chrome. Dragged the internet icon of and went to drag the Chrome one on but I can't as instead of the dock staying visible like on some videos it changes to the Delete Icon option. Cant find settings please help. Also I do not want to use a 3rd party launcher. I tried Apex and do like it but I use widgets and can't use widgets as my phone is not rooted. Please help arrrgghhh. Thanks in advance.
PS . I just have a blankspot where my internet Icon use to be.

Drag the Chrome icon down to the dock.

Thanks for your reply but I have tried that...the dock area only changes to for different Icon that you can drag your chosen icon onto in order to perform a function. these are from left to right "Create Folder" "New Page" "File Info" & "Delete"
Have you tried to hold on the Chrome Icon in the App drawer and put it on the home screen, THEN drag it to the empty space on the dock?

Yes I have and I get then get the same options expect it has text with each one i.e. *Icon with text"Create Folder" * *Icon with text "New Page"* etc
Has to be a step you are missing. I just tried it and it's working fine.

THanks for your help.... OK so here is what I do.
1) Unlock -> touch App Draw Icon. (Icon that says Apps with 16 little white squares)then I am on my last page/screen where I have a lonesome Chrome Icon.
2)Then I touch the Menu button (the glowing white button left of the physical home button).
3)Touch Edit (from the pop up menu *Edit with the pencil icon next to it)
4)The Page now has <::: Edit |Cancel|Save along the top of the screen under the notification bar. and no dock or anything at the bottom except for 6 . . . . . . white dots which represent my 6 screens.
5) Touch the Chrome Icon and drag downwards, but as soon as I press and hold the icon to drag at the bottom of the screen 4 icons appear that represent the function I described in my previous reply.
Please tell me I did something wrong. It should be so easy. Thanks btw.
1. Click on the App Drawer Icon
2. Press and hold on the Chrome Icon (that will move it to your desktop)
3. Now find it on your homescreen and press and hold it and drag it down to the empty space on the dock.
That's all there is to it.

Hi,
I'm having the same problem, I was wondering if you've found the solution.
Also, since recently I'm having chrging problems with my S3 - sometimes it will charge, sometimes not - USB or Wall charger.
I tend to think these problems were introduced with latest software update.
I did factory reset, but problems still there.
Cheers.

TouchWiz used to allow me to follow the earlier procedure (it's how I docked "Maps" icon). This was back when I could also just drag and drop icons on the pages at will.
However there was an update from my telco (Telstra) and after that TouchWiz (as version 4.0.4) no longer allows changing of the bottom 'docked' row of icons. Even dragging and dropping icons generally is disabled it now requires use of the context menu to select "Edit page", first. The problem with that approach is that edit mode hides the dock row and replaces it with the icons "Create folder | Create page | App info | Delete". See attached screenshot.
So now I'm stuck with the useless blue-globe icon forever showing on my page, instead of being able to replace it with the very useful Chrome icon. Maybe Samsung did it accidentally (are they even the ones that develop TouchWiz?).
PS: If Micro$oft blocked the use of an alternate browsers, there would be loud screams of monopoly and anti-trust...
i to am also having the same problems, i am running stock Samsung Jelly Bean OS with a touchwiz home version 4.1.1. hope someone can find a way to fix this and to get our freedom back in it

Apparently this problem only effects Galaxy S4 GT-I9505
I found this solution:
you need to have root access (which is available on the xda forums)
you can unlock the dock icon edit function by going to /system/csc/other.xml and find
<CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode> TRUE</CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode>
Tried it using ex file explorer editor but nothing happened, restarted the device and the setting had reverted back to its original state, might have to do an adb push but the adb version I have installed is apparently outdated (keeps telling me the device is offline) so I'd need to update adb first
If anyone can give it a try to see if it actually works on rooted 4.2.2 with stock touchwiz, it would be really appreciated

They changed it a bit..
When your in recent apps there is a symbol that appears at the top of the app. Pressing that will show a menu, one of the options is "open in split screen view".
This is how you now access the feature. I attached a screen shot of the settings app showing the respective symbol. Yellow arrow points to the symbol you want to press (symbol will vary pending on the app).

Thanks for this. I was slightly confused at first, it might be easier for people to understand to say that the app's icon appears at the top of the app in the recents screen, and tapping that icon gives you the options for the app, like split screen, pop-up view etc ?
I want to creat a 'icon pair on the home screen' that option is missing from the new menu. Thats my real question. Sorry about asking it in two steps
You can creat an icon pair in the edge screen but it will not appear on the home screen. Any ideas?

I tried it and I couldn't get it to work either, though I haven't used the feature before so I never created an app pair on my home screen. It maybe something they changed and now is (or with one UI maybe only ever was) available from the edge panel.
Update - Checking the users manual (for our phone with Android Pie) indicates the only way to natively create an app pair now is via the Edge Panel.

There is an apk called split-screen creator in the play store that allows you to create shortcuts that can be placed on the home screen.
