[Q] Samsung Galaxy SII ICS minor problems - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I've installed ICS 4.0.3 (I9100XXLPS), and then rooted it. Everything works fine except for two things: Chainfire3D and lock screen AccuWeather.
In Chainfire3D I can't use per-app settings, because, for some reason, they won't work. I've tried reinstalling it, still no luck.
As for AccuWeather lock screen display, it shows 0.0°C most of the time, unless I go to Dispay Settings, and disable, then re-enable Weather. This fixes it for some time, after which it goes back to 0.0°C. The problem is only with the lock screen one, desktop widget shows normal temperature all the time.
Are these known issues? Any help on how to fix this would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have this problem too. The only solution is to disable weather from lock screen. There is no fix for this issue at the moment.

I've managed to make it work on my Galaxy S II (don't know for now long it will work ):
- I had the accuweather widget and accuweather lock screen enabled.
- Go to Applications on Settings, All applications
- Clear data and Force stop the app called "Accuweather Weather Daemon"
- Clear data and Force stop the app called "Accuweather.com"
- Turn on locating services
- Remove and add again accuweather widget on the home screen. It will automatically use the location service and show the right information.
After that the accuweather widget on the lock screen shows the right temperature as well

Is there a way to disable the lockscreen on rooted stock?

Curious, as I find it rather annoying and rather pointless to have.
[Q] News & Weather Stock App - Rooted v1.4.3
I have not found a permanent way to disable the lock screen. There are several apps in the app store that will temporarily do it, I use a widget app called Widgetsoid where that is one of the controls you can set to have on the screen. I have found that the OS turns it back on at random intervals.
If you use CM7 there is an option in the settings to turn off the lock screen though.

Lock screen not working properly because of notification app installed

I just want to share my recent issue with my Sense lock screen not working properly. To disable the lock screen, you normally would need to swipe up, and the same goes for the dock shortcuts. For some reason, my lock screen suddenly stopped working that way. Just by clicking anywhere on the screen, it will disable the lock screen without having to swipe up. Any Sense lock screen I chose had the same problem. This was really annoying me as my concern about accidental dial or text begins to grow. I tried to disable and uninstall different apps that I have recently installed. Unfortunately, I've been installing plenty of apps and didn't realize that the lock screen got messed up. After so many uninstall or disable of apps, I found out that the NotifierPro app was the culprit. It didn't play nice with the Sense lock screen. I thought if somebody had the same issue, might be good to check if you have NotifierPro installed or any app that will display notification while your phone is locked, that might be causing the problem with your lock screen.
Thanks so much for figuring this out. I've been wondering why my lockscreen stopped working all of a sudden. It was because I had installed light flow.
Any notification app that needs accessibility service turned on will affect the Sense lock screen. I'm really disappointed because there's plenty of notification apps I like to use such as notifier pro and the floating notification that's available here on XDA. I really hope there's a fix for this issue.

ahhh thank you for figuring this out. I was wondering for awhile what it was and didn't remember that I had recently installed notification history (uninstalled some keyboards and other random apps though). It was fixed for a little bit after a software update, but came back. Makes sense now that it probably wasn't until I received my first notification again that it stopped working...
Uninstalled it and voila...back to normal!

No Data - Tap To Refresh

Can you please help?.
I have a Samsung S2 (GT-I9100T). Recently, when turning on my mobile, I get a initial screen "No Data, Tap To Refresh" on top, and below a symbol "Lock". Upon sliding the symbol "Lock" to the left, I gain access to my home screen. Everything appears to be working fine. It's annoying getting this screen every time, I turn on the mobile. I have not installed any new apps recently.
My Mobile Status: Android Ver 4.1.2, Paranoid Android Ver 2.54, CyanogenMod Ver 10.0.0-RC0-i9100
Weather apps installed: Weather Australia 1.1R3.6, and 1Weather 2.1.4
My research revealed that the cause could be due to the Weather apps version changes or weather data cannot be updated, or weather apps being obsolete. Both my weather apps are working and updating fine. What could have caused this problem?
Your help to resolve my problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
My Resolution - Problem Resolved
Problem resolved myself. This is for the member's benefit who ever encounter this problem..
Solution:
Go to phone settings:
> Lock Screen
> Weather: Untick Dislpay Weather - Yahoo Weather
> Screen Security: Untick Power button insta..., and Show widget befor,,,
Power off/on mobile - no more "no data - Tap to refresh"
Yes it's caused by Yahoo Weather update. I'm not using Yahoo Weather and never going to use it.
Wonder why it's a default in Lock Screen options?. Perhaps it's from Paranoid Android Ver 2.54?
thx!
this also happens to my Samsung Galaxy W I8150, after I have flashed [ROM][JB 4.2.2] CyanogenMod 10.1 Plus [Release2][13/03/2015] at https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-w/development/rom-cyanogenmod-10-1-plus-t3044561

[Q] strange lockscreen widget behaviour android 4.3

Hi,
My first thread here. I have recently updated my s3 to Android 4.3 and everything is fine so far expect a strange lockscreen widget behaviour. I've set up dashclock widget as a default one and it stays that way until I enable data transfer. Whenever I turn on data transfer my default lockscreen widget becomes what you can see in the attachment. In order to see the dashclock widget I need to swype to the left. When I turn the data transfer off the dashclock widget becomes default again.
Is this a normal behaviour for you guys or is there something not right with my Galaxy?

[Q] How to disable lock screen weather

Hello all, I have a frustrating issue. I cannot seem to purge the weather widget from my lock screen. It's some sort of widget that auto-rotates the screen to portrait and provides a slide-out tab that displays my local weather (screenshot attached is with the tab slid out). It only started appearing recently (never had this happen before), however I don't know what triggered it. There are no lock screen system settings that allow me to enable or disable anything but the clock. I have removed every weather app from my device (even the stock app). I even froze TouchWiz thinking that might have caused it. No dice.
So what app/widget is this and how do I get rid of it? Thanks in advance.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1
Android 5.0.2 rooted
EDIT: Please disregard. Didn't realize I had posted in the entirely wrong subforum.
