Beautiful Widgets (weather) not updating location - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

App was working fine until Sat - noticed that when I got home it was stuck on a location that I had been earlier in the day, approx 40 mins away from where I lived!
Have tried everything and will not automatically pick up my current location - anyone help or have the same issue..?

Same here. Seems last update broke it.

"Can't find location" randomly appearing on Home Screen

All of a sudden today, when unlocking my phone, I've seen this message pop up on the home screen for like 2 seconds. I figured it was just a random fluke and powered down but then when I went to click on refreshing my weather widget which is always set to the same zip code, it happened again. This widget is set to manual refresh, I have to click it to get an updated forecast. Then it happened again a few minutes later after simply unlocking the screen like it was doing earlier.
I've had Network Location services for wifi and gps turned off for a good 3 weeks or so. I only activate those on an as-needed basis. I don't use any apps that acquire my location (weather, facebook, etc.) I have the bear minimum apps running in 'Running Services' and I'm running the configuration in my sig (UnNamed, Entropy's DD, ICScrewd Theme). Any ideas what's going on?
does it happen every time you refresh the weather widget?
if it does I would try a different widget, just to see whether it goes away.
I just had GMail do this to me this morning (when I tried to refresh - I have that set to manual). I turned on location services (wifi and GPS) and let it get my location, then turned them back off. That seemed to take care of it. Might be a cookie based kind of thing - I loaded a new ROM yesterday and hadn't let it get a lock yet.
I just remembered that I updated Google Maps yesterday via the Market. I think that's the culprit. I can't see any setting though which I can change to disable automatic updating. I've gotten this message now like 3 times this morning.
Ive temporarily turned on Location Services for wifi/GPS but I prefer them off as I get much better battery life with them disabled.

This seems to be happening to me more and more. Cannot pinpoint the culprit.
is this still an issue for anyone? It certainly is for me

CM9 lockscreen weather

also the time that worked it took quite a long time to get the info.
more info: my located is currently in china right now. maybe the data fetch will be faster when im back in the states. i duno

Location not updating

Running stock rezound ics w/root. For a year or so everything has been working awesome. For the past 2 weeks suddenly I've noticed after about 2-3 days the location stops updating on my device. By this I mean:
- Tasker network location is incorrect (shows the same spot even though I'm 30+ miles away) and will not update
- Weatherbug shows the same location as tasker and never updates
- Google maps works just fine still
I have gps off, google location on, verizon location off. As I've said, everything works find for 2-3 days, then it just stops and never starts updating until I reboot. Any ideas?
This seems to have stopped now for some reason (at least for 2 weeks). The only thing I changed was to uninstall the weather channel app. Weird.

[Q] When does your weather update?

I do a lot of Kayaking on large lakes and prefer to know if the weather is about to change.
I have my weather set to update every hour. It updates every morning when I charge via USB and once during the day at random times. The default on my phone is AccuWeather.
Is there any phone app that actually updates the weather on the watch or is this a problem regardless of the app?
I like the fact I can ask for the weather via S-Voice while not having to stop what I'm doing but since it's not accurate unless I click to refresh, it's pretty useless.
I uninstalled AccuWeather from the phone and rebooted. Reinstalled, set the weather (via Gear Manager) to update once every hour. So far it has updated twice within +/- 5 minutes of the hour. Hopefully this fixed the problem. If it is still updating when I go to bed, I will turn off GPS and not turn it back on until midmorning tomorrow and see if it still updates.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well that didn't last long. Stopped updating after 5 hours.
Often mine update almost only when I turn ON the screen. Otherwise the update can never happen when screen is OFF for a long time...
I tried it with leaving the screen on all night and didn't get any update until I plugged it in to charge this morning. Maybe a future update will fix the problem.

GPS Problem - Oreo 8.1

Hi guys!
I experience some problems with the GPS on my Nokia phone with Oreo 8.1. This is how it looks like in the GPS Test app:
https://img1.picload.org/image/dlori...803-201912.png
I tried the following
- turned off the 4G
- also turned on/off the WiFi
- tried changing the location mode from high accuracy to device only
- cleared the AGPS - again no signal, then updated the AGPS, same thing
- restarted the phone
- turned off the phone, waited for a while, turned it on again
- removed the SIM card, waited for a while, put it in again
Google maps finds my location, also Runtastic but it says that GPS signal is weak and tracking will not work. So something is obviously wrong here. This happened before as well, then the GPS worked perfectly for about a week, now I have the problem again.
Can anybody please help? Thanks!
Hi again,
So the GPS started working again yesterday for a while. It behaved perfectly with no issues and accuracy of 1 meter. Then when I started the app later, it could not get a fix again... Today it is working (for now). I even tested it home in a room and it has 21 satellites in view, 11 in use, with 3 meters accuracy. For comparison my other phone can only see 17 and uses 5.
So when the GPS decides to turn on, it works perfectly. But it also often happens that it cannot fix. Would you guys say that this is a hardware or software error? If it is the software I would be willing to wait for an update. If it is a hardware problem I still have 4 days left to return the phone, so please let me know. Thanks!
Did you ever find a fix?
All three of my stinking Androids are having this issue since updating to Oreo and Pie. I drive hours a day and NEVER had this issue until I updated and it started occurring right after the update. I even bought a brand new Pixel XL an it's doing the same thing.
