WTF is up with accuweather lately?
We had the blizzard of the year and it just says "cloudy". I switched beautiful widgets to pull from google weather instead, and it says "overcast". I've seen it change from cloudy, to sunny, and party cloudy, but it hasn't shown any precip in a long time. Even the moto weather widget says the same.
I know its not a phone issue, but just curious if its the local weather reporting or if Accuweather is just lazy or something.

If your GPS is off it wont read accurately, location & security...if you set it to not update that is a no brainer....I have not had any problem with my weather on any ROM with any device...except if I changed those settings

tnx for the reply, but its not the phone or the gps, those are fine. Its actually the Accuweather feed (or google feed when I try that one).
I just thought I'd ask the folks here cause we're all watching that kind of thing.
Even accuweather.com just shows "cloudy".

Dunno, I use accu weather from Beautiful Widgets and I haven't noticed any problems.. It's right on the money.

I use Beautiful Widgets too and mine is kind of screwy lately. I don't use the gps location thing. Just enter my zip code in and leave it set to where I live all the time unless I'm traveling. I'm using accu weather too. Well, for those that don't know, you can click on the weather part of the widget and another screen will open up with five days of weather forecasts at the bottom. They are just icons or pictures more or less of what the weather is for that day. However, if you click on one, it will open up the browser and take you to an accu weather forecast page for your location for that day. A few days ago I did just that and the web page said the temp was 50 something degrees. I thought, WTF? It's only in the 20's here. Then I noticed that it was opening a page for Pittsburg PA. It's still doing it. There's a link I can click on to change locations and when I do, my town is there as a link to click on. Have no idea what's going on. Is it accu weather or the app itself? Don't know but it bugs the heck out of me.

I love the stock news and weather widget from AOSP(genie widget), but it sometimes doesn't work right. I have it set to refresh every hour, but it rarely does. When I manually refresh it the location is almost always off, on the second refresh the location does update. Anyone else see these problems? I'm using CM7 nightlies on an Incredible. It may be an incredible thing, I'm not sure because it seemed to work better on my Eris.
I know everyone will recommend their favorite weather widget, but honestly I've tried a lot(including wasting money on beautiful widgets) and never found one I liked. If there is one that can give me news, automatic location updates, a temp graph(the hardest part), transparent widget and doesn't kill the battery I would love it.
thanks,
I have an Inspire 4G and I'm having the same issue. I also like this widget a lot, but unless I have it set to 1 hour refresh, the weather doesn't update. I have tried Minimalistic Text and it's great, but it does not have the temperature graphs like you're looking for.
Thanks for the response, at least I'm not alone.

Hi i'm from venezuela and i just bought an international SGS3
i put all my google data and all but the Weather widget in the main screen shows the wrong time
although the time on the top is right, this one its set 5 hours ahead and the city
of the weather is right to, this is really bugging me
because it looks beautifull this widget but the time its so wrong :crying:
any ideas on how to fix? this because i even try clearing the data on the weather app.
I have come from a HTC phone, and the Weather clock that HTC has in Sense is the best of them out there. Now the Samsung has…
Garbage
So I am looking at 3rd party options, and have found a few good ones, No they don’t have all the little features of the HTC one, but they cover the important basses (easy access to the alarm setup being the key one apart from displaying the weather and being small), well all But one.
I am in Victoria, Australia (GMT+11) and the Lock screen on the Galaxy syncs to the correct location, as do the little weather apps that come with the phone, but all the third party Weather clocks decide that Victoria mean Victoria Canada (GMT-8) now knowing that it is going to be cloudy with a top of 9c and a low of 5c in Canada might be a lot of fun… But it doesn’t help me here in Aus (29c & Sunny if you are interested)
Are there any Weather Clocks out there that hit a Data source that is aware of locations off the American Continent?
Took me one quick search on play to find this

Yes, which is a great weather app, but not a Clock with weather and the ability to jump into setting alarms directly
I use weatherzone.

Hello all!
Been using Themer for some days now, and it's just great compared to other launchers out there. I tried GO launcher but hated the ads and 'chinese style'. Tried Nova too, but it was too similar to TW in my use. Themer is both original and not-pushy.
I use the HUD theme, which looks great and keeps the kids away from my phone (because it looks so weird ). One thing I don't really care about is the weather. I have a weather app I use daily to check the weekly forecast, I go out a few times a day, I have windows in my house so I can check the weather by turning my head... I really don't need Themer telling me the wrong weather anymore.
So, my request: could someone swap the weather widget to show something else, like core temp? I know I could do it myself, but it would take weeks and most of you can probably do it in a few minutes.

Hi there!
Having something like core temp is a bit tricky, as the widgets we provide don't really include that option.
Have you tried going into Themer Settings - Weather - then changing your weather provider - this might fix your temp problem.
You could always post the theme's wallpaper (found in Themer Wallpapers in your Gallery) and we could try Photoshop the "temperature" text and replace it with something else instead?
Changing the provider doesn't help. It still shows 0 all the time.
I can't think of much else to fill the empty space with. While I was quickly checking how the themes are built, I noticed that there's a line in launchersettings.xml that looked weird:
Code:
<string name="com.mycolorscreen.themer.wallpaper_transistion">slide</string>
Is it really supposed to be 'transistion' and not 'transition'?
Anyway, onto the request again. I'm starting to feel OK with the weather filling the space. I think I have figured out something though: I have all my location things off, so it mught cause a problem for the weather widget. Ideally I'd like it to work so that you have an option to lock your location (just use the one it has now and lock it or type it in) and then it just regularly sends weather data on the same location to the widget. Now it seems to try to fetch your location, then send it to the weather service and that sends the data back to widget. I don't travel much so having a locked location would be a nice thing to have in the widget. Only time the widget has chances of updating the temp is when I go geocaching
Does it even work like that?
can you guys check and see if your widget works,I have been getting a service is not temporarily available for 2 days ago

I've noticed the same thing the last couple days. It's not refreshing like it should. I think it's new, probably would have noticed it if were doing it all along. Hopefully temporary.
Why doesn't the weather widget on my S9 refresh or work? What is happening? Is there anotehr weather widget that I can use instead?
