It has been mentioned quite a few times already. The weather widget wont refresh if for some reason you have lost data signal at the time that it was meant to refresh and will skip a cycle

My weather widget always displays a numeral 1 in a Sun icon next to the time. I have no idea what this is for ? Whatever it means I seem to find no way to make it vanish.
Any ideas ?
I believe the 1 could be for DST, but I could easily be wrong.
I seen that to in the home screen thread and was wondering what it was to

Ok how do you get this thing to update your location on its own? Every time I got to do it it manually in my locations. Is there something I'm missing?

Still no clue what the 1 stands for or how to get rid of it ?

I dunno lol.. But I think they should've put an option (unless I'm missing something lol) to remove it.. But maybe yu won't be as annoyed by it now that yu know what it is..

S3 speaking on its own

Hi guys,
Just wanted some help from you guys. Suddenly i noticed that my s3 has started speaking on its own. Like when i zoom out my homescreens, it says
"Workspace 2 of 3"
When i open a folder,it says
"Folder opened "
I dont know what happened. I didnt tweak any settings and updated to the latest firmware about a week back. Until yesterday there were no voice feedbacks but all of a sudden they have started. Couldnt find any setting to turn them off either.
It is very annonying and any help would be greatly appreciated!

That sounds like TalkBack. Disable it under Settings -> Accessibility -> TalkBack
Already disabled, still it speaks!

Have you got Light Flow installed? There is a bug with it due to Samsung/ICS kernel
Yes i did have that app installed and i guess it has happened due to that app only. However, i just uninstalled the app but it still speaks. Will try restarting the phone once and will get back to you. Thank u so much anyways.

Camera shortcuts always disappear when I close the camera...

I like to have shortcuts to soothing mode and to resolution on my camera because I'm always fiddling with them, but every time I set them up, they disappear when I close the camera. Anybody has a workaround?
Thanks in advance...

This seems to be a problem with all Samsung galaxy phones, I was googling it today, and I found several other people complaining about the same problem in several other forums, but I didn't find any solution...
In the developer section what is your process limit set at ? And is do not keep activities checked? Try setting both those exactly like mine and see if your shortcuts still dissapear.

That's how mine are setup...

This is obviously maybe he means another way.

Lol, probably
I think in the app setting there should be an option so

I don't want gps turned off for everything tho

Use friendcaster pro
On FB app settings turn off the second option, it should sounds like "position service on messenger" or something like that
I was having the same issue until I turned off the notification for nearby friends.

This happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Clear your data for the lockscreen app. That will fix it.
