My weather app updates when I tell it to and when I open the app while connected to a network. When I turn the network connection off and leave my phone off for roughly half an hour or more, the weather app decides to revert to the first weather update it received when I first got the phone. Anyone have any idea of why this is or how I can resolve it?
Help!
Well, for the 49 of you who read this, I'm still having a problem with this.
I did a factory reset this morning, and the first weather it saw after the reset is what it's resetting to again. Right around 30 minutes after I update it manually it does this.
I have tried changing every setting: turning on and off Wi-Fi/4G, enabling/disabling all locations, turning off/on sync, only update when I open the app, and everything I could think of. I tried clearing the data for all the widgets and the app itself, and it didn't affect anything.
It's driving me crazy!
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

no, i haven't noticed that on mine, and i keep my mobile network off most of the time cuz i have wifi where ever i go accept driving. it updates through wifi or location i think.
sometimes it doen't update til i flip to that screen, but it doesn't revert back like you say.
i did have one that acting funny on the inc2, it was the audio, i turned off audio animation and it was ok, but thats a different phone i think it was on ukb x of nits.

Lucky. This is driving me crazy. I use the default HTC clock with the weather attached to it on my main home screen, so I see it every time I turn on my phone, even though I don't update the weather until I'm ready to leave most of the time. It's just that when I turn it on, I notice that it changes back.

that's weird
i don't have the weather clock on my home screen
For an even more interesting update on the weather problem I'm having, it is now reverting back to the same weather and temperature it was defaulting to before my factory reset. That either means that my weather app is completely screwed with a default weather embedded in it somehow, or not everything is wiped with its factory data reset. It didn't even take 5 minutes for the data reset, while my original Dinc took 10-15 every time. Mind you, the Inc 4G has twice the RAM and two cores at a faster clock rate, and faster EMMC read/write.
Regardless, it's still driving me crazy.

Yeah, I have. It doesn't matter what screen is on or if I take it off my home screens completely. When I open the app it has changed, too.
Completely ridiculous!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Okay, I feel better now. Slightly, at least.
I did another factory data reset. This time I chose not to install any apps or do anything whatsoever to test if an app that I alone seemed to be using was causing the problem. The only things I did was set up my Wi-Fi and turn on Google Location so it would know where I am to update the weather, then I proceeded to update the weather.
I left the phone alone for an hour and it proceeded to inform me that the weather was no longer 90 and sunny but was 83 with thunderstorms. Unfortunately, it's not 83 and storming outside. That's the weather that it was when I bought my phone. Somehow it is firmly ingrained in the device that it should always be the weather it was when I bought the phone.
I really don't know what to do to solve this except wait for root or bring it back and inform them it's defective. How I could be the only one with a busted weather app, I don't know. I want to format /system 10 times so I know everything has to be gone. This is ridiculous!

Are you sure it's not dropping back to the daily forecast? I know that is what mine does when the current information is out of date.

The daily forecast for a week hasn't been 83 and storming. lol. It's only been that temperature and weather at the same time the hour I got my phone in the city I activated it. I wouldn't mind if it dropped the current temp and displayed only the high and low, but it's going to a completely outlandish scenario every 30 minutes, regardless of whether I have weather sync enabled or have even accessed the app and only viewed the widget, and even after two factory data resets. It makes no sense.

Have you tried removing the widget then adding it back and selecting "Current location"? Might be worth a try.

Yes, it's not just the widget, it's the app. I had removed the widget and opened Weather via the app drawer, after turning off update when app is opened. I opened the app and it had changed, despite saying last updated when I had last manually updated it.
Last night when I went to bed, I updated the Weather and it said '81 and clear'. This morning when I woke up it has changed to '83 and intermittent clouds'. While that's definitely a change from '83 and storming', it's wrong about it being 83 because it's '86 and sunny', and it has only rained once since I bought the phone, so it's not the daily forecast, as mentioned before. Thanks for trying, though.

Well, I haven't moved my phone more than 10 feet in the last two hours as it's my lazy Sunday. It's already changed back to 83 and intermittent clouds. I'm glad it's not storming on my phone right now, but it's still being stupid. And my Wi-Fi is off right now, so is 4G, so it can't change location.

Yeah, that's why I said the only things I can do it replace it since I'm still within my 14 days or wait for root. It's not a deal-breaker, I still love the phone, I just wish this stupid app would work for me. lol. I would do a screencast, but it takes 30+ minutes before it reverts, and that's a huge video to upload anywhere.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! And this time I don't feel better.
So, this afternoon after work I took my phone in and exchanged it for a new one, hoping to solve the dreaded 83 and storming problem. All seemed well. 3 hours went by with no weather problems. However, I just glanced down at my phone and lo and behold, 83 and storming. It's currently 82 and clear according to AccuWeather, which is where the phone gets its weather.
Could the problem be with my SIM card? I think they put my old one into my new phone.
I doubt it could be the microSD card, but I'm going to format that twice just in case.
How can I be the only one who's had this issue, and now have had it on two phones???

When my phone is in the holster, or when charging, it automatically comes out of standby mode every so often. I don't know why it keeps doing that, but it has done it so much that I had to turn on the Lock feature on so the buttons don't get accidently pushed when in my holster etc (very annoying). I spoke to a friend who said it might be a program running in the background that keeps making the phone come out of standby because it doesn't happen to his TP. But the running programs list only has Text, and Calendar always open so I doubt its those that's causing.
Any ideas on how to solve this really annoying issue? And does anyone else experience this?
Note: My carrier is Sprint and I have no custom ROM's)

You will find that the Lock feature isn't really going to be any help either because the sliding of the keyboard will a) Wake the phone up and b) Unlock it as well if it slides more.
You can make this registry edit to make it so the slide doesn't wake up the phone. Now, when you get a text message or email (I think) the phone will wake up but as long as you don't slide it more than about half an inch, the phone won't unlock.
You should be using the lock feature on your phone anyway. If you haven't figured it out yet, you can make the "Long End key press" lock the phone. It works very well to make locking the phone quick and easy. Then you can either use the push button method to unlock OR side the phone open to unlock.

I guess I didn't phrase it right...I mean when the phone is just sitting there and the keyboard is not opening at all because it is sitting on a desk charging, no text or e-mail message go in or out, bluetooth not connected, and no alarms, or events pop up the phone comes out of standby...same scenario in my belt holster.
True I should be using the lock feature but I like to set the timer to 5 or 10 minutes but sometimes it comes out of standby before then.

Interesting... You are really burning up your battery (if not plugged in) letting it not go into standby for 5-10 minutes but I wonder if it some other data transmission. What is your email interval set at? Even if no emails are received, it's still sending a data "pulse" to the server.
I have te same issue (Alltel Touch Pro)
I leave the phone on the charger overnite, and sitting by itself,
even with Lock on, it will wake up, stay up the timeout period,
then go back to sleep. Like it has Sleep Apnea?
I do email by webmail so that's not an issue.

mrrogers: What I meant was I like the Lock on feature to come on after 5-10 minutes...it is already in standby mode, but the lock feature is not activated until 5-10 minutes (look inside your lock settings and you will see what I mean) so I am not draining the battery.....e-mail interval is set at 4 hours so it can't be that. Even if it was that, the screen should not wake up just for sending data in or out.
fuzzynco: YES I have the same problem...its as if the phone does not want to sleep. It stays up for the timeout period then goes back to sleep then turns on again a few minutes later for no apparent reason...but for me it also comes out of standby even when not being charged.
I suppose mine might do it too then, I guess I never notice because I plug in to charge and go to sleep. :-D
I am going to test this out tonight and see what my phone does. I am running a custom Rom so who knows what might happen. I thin something that also could mask the fact that this is happening to me is that my backlight and power setting are 30sec and 1min.
If I'm not doing something on my phone, it is locked. Unlocking is so simple I don't bother with timing the locking event. I think you must use the actual "Password" protection right? I do not use that feature but I know the settings you are referring to. I have only been referring to the device lock.

My backlight and power settings are the same as yours.
I didn't understand your last paragraph. All I have enabled is my "lock" feature in the settings. The system lock with password is enabled after 5 minutes, but that doesnt mean it takes 5 minutes to go into standby mode. Standby mode is seperate, and it only takes 30 sec to go to standby. But after 5 minutes of standby, the "lock" feature with password is enabled.
My problem is that before that 5 minute mark, the screen comes out of standby for no apparent reason.
I'll chime in here. Verizon Touch Pro. Haven't really done much to it, but a few advanced config settings. Mine will wake up in the holster, and even when it's just sitting there on the desk charging. I only let the screen stay on for a short time, so I haven't seen my battery suffer, but this happens enough to be annoying.

exactly stanton! same thing with me...My screen is only set for a short time so I haven't seen battery loss but very annoying. Any theories out there?
Mine does it as well Sprint TP
I think all Windows mobile phones pretty much do this.
No idea why, but there's really nothing you can do about it.
I have been testing this evening and I can't get my phone to do it. I've been testing on battery power and will try plugged in tomorrow during the day.
Are you guys using TF3D? I'm not so I wonder if it might be something tied in there? Weather? Maybe some crazy update in the music tab?
Wish I could have helped... I'll check in tomorrow and report what I find on external power.
Long time lurker, here...
I seem to remember a similar issue with the XV6600 (Blue Angel) that was traced back to some settings having to do with the syncing with Exchange servers. My memory is kind of fuzzy on the issue, but that could be a place to start to look?
I've had my Vz TP for about a week now and have not had that issue.
Check Pocket Express. By default, it's set to update itself every 4 hours (at least on the Sprint TP).
My TP was doing the same thing (ie: coming out of Sleep on it's own). That, and the Data Connection wouldn't stay turned off. I don't like my computers and phones doing anything without my expressed permission so this was driving me nuts. Since I found the Pocket Express setting and set it to manual, my phone doesn't misbehave anymore.
Another setting you might want to look at is the QuickGPS settings. It will automatically try to update itself too. I changed mine to "Remind me when data expires" and "Auto download when connected to PC via ActiveSync" and that works best for me.
Basically, you have to go through every one of your apps and check their configurations. The two I mentioned above are definite sources of your problem but there could be others.

I havent had my VZW tp do that yet. But i see its doing it on all 3 CDMA companies. I wonder if its a glitch in the hardware or the data settings that makes it do that. I dont run any email through my phone. I wonder if the email is the cause of its insomnia.
I have the same issue whether on a stock or Custom ROM.
Not sure about effects on battery. Never really gaged it. I always get 24 to 36 hours before I have to recharge.
Its not a program in the background. I just created a clean ROM with nothing in it and it still does it.

Hello all,
I have a amaze for a while now that I recently (about 2 months ago) installed 3g watch dog to monitor the data I use thru out the month.
I noticed that over the last 19 days that the "phone" with sub catagories of phone, dialer storage, SIM toolkit program used about 115 mb of data.
Over the last hour has used about 470kb and have not even used the phone at all.
While right now I have a 5gb plan (that I have gone over a few times with) and is not a problem now if I go to a 200 mb plan to save money that would be over half the months useage.
Currently I am completely stock with the phone not rooted or even unlocked bootloader or anything.
Does anyone know why that app is using so much data or what may be causeing it?
Any help or insite would be greatly appreciated.
I noticed a handful of people have looked at this with no response, so just wanted to say you're not alone but I have no idea why. Any insight would be great.
I was wondering if using Facebook that's built into the phone/contacts app might be something?

It requires root, the OP isn't rooted.
Looking into this a little more I went so far as turning off background, auto sync, location services, all syncs of contacts and accounts, update polling for the phone OS.
And has jumped over 2 mb in a hour with no phone use.
Not sure if there is anything else that could cause that.
Really the only thing that I have seen that stops it is turning off data on the phone completely.

The data toggle is a must have.
I've trained myself to tap it before the phone goes down, or I don't require the net.
Eliminates a long list of "issues".
I have the US version and it has been acting up. Web pages would randomly freeze and stop loading or bring me back to the home screen. What weirds me out the most is that I have always had my wifi setting to off when screen off but I noticed that my battery dropped very quickly today from fully charged this morning and found that it somehow got changed to wifi never off.
Could I have somehow gotten a virus? How can I check? I am running the stock ROM.
Thanks
This is not my forte, but sit tight and be assured that someone who knows more on this issue will answer your question.
Maybe a factory reset would fix it?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Take a deep breath, then check what apps are draining your battery the most. More likely than not it's just a poorly coded app that's the culprate.
Settings -> About Device -> Battery Use
Things should typically be pretty low (Except the display), but exact percentages will vary depending on what you've been using lately. If you want a nice control, restart you Player, then leave it alone overnight. If something shows up pretty high, it's probably your troublesome app.
I attached some screenshots of my current useage. Mind you, I haven't really been using my player much this morning, so the percentages might be lower than normal

Does the factory reset erase everything (ie. pics, documents, apks) or does it just get rid of settings but leave my files untouched?
Is there anything else I could try before a reset?
I can't remember, but at the very least a factory reset will kill your apps. I want to say there is an option to keep files, but you'll want to back it up before you try that.
My recommendation really is to restart you player tonight, leave it on, and check battery usage in the morning.
You will lose all your data. However you could root and do a Titanium Backup, then restore after reset. You can always unroot.

My concern is not the battery usage but the fact that it was acting strange, especially my wifi sleep policy setting changed to "Never." I have always had it set to "When screen turns off." I am just worried that my security has been compromised.

Something new I just noticed. Seems like my Player is now trying to get a GPS lock despite me not having any program that is using the GPS. I am probably going to try the factory reset first before flashing to another ROM just because I am new to it and am a bit apprehensive.
But at this point I am just really curious as to what is going on. Has anyone ever heard of these issues of the player changing the wifi policy and trying to get a GPS lock?
Should I be worried if someone is trying to track me down?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33058335
I've got the GPS locking issue. I have it at least since my factory reset, maybe since I got the player. My best guess is that it's Google's location services trying to establish where you are. I get rid of it (and keep it from draining the battery) by firing up a GPS test app and closing the app.
No advice on the other issues though.

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.

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.
Night clock freeze and dont show real time after 2 hours
When i wake up screen it show again correct hour
Is there a solution for that
I am on 6.0.1 full stock
No one can help?
At last someone with the same problem as me. Have you solved this yet?
Don't use Night Clock but I think the root cause must be the new Doze feature on Marshmallow, remember that it closes everything after some hours to save battery. So if you can find what is the name of the apk package related to the Night Clock feature, you can go to Battery settings, and then click on the 3-Dots menu on the top right hand corner and then disable optimization on that apk package, I have a feeling it might be "Edge Screen" try disabling Doze on it first.

Not me. It can't be doze related because doze doesn't work while charging... does it?
Night clock freeze
I had the same problem with my galaxy s6 edge. I solved it by uninstalling the update that had occurred with edge screen. Go to application manager then more then show system apps then edge screen then uninstall update. It asks if you want it to uninstall the update and return to the factory state. Once uninstalled it says that cocktailbar service has been uninstalled. The freezing no longer happens. I do remember an update message telling me cocktail bar service had been updated quite a while ago but I thought nothing of it.

Hi Mark,
I thought I had solved this problem but it appears I haven't.
The only way I can stop the night clock turning off "freezing" during the night is by disabling access to the internet by putting into flight mode or not having WiFi such as when I'm away from home.
The freezing usually occurs between 2am to 4am depending on what time I put the phone down for the night by my bedside.
It is almost as if something interupts it by checking for updates or something like that.
Do you have a solution yet?
So far no software updates seem to have solved it.
Kind Regards

I turned sync off the other night and it was fine all night. Tried it again a second night and it froze again. Thought I had found a work around but sadly not. Reported several times to samsung but still no acknowledgement or fix.
