[Q] Stock clock weather widget wrong location - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI. I have bought Samsung Galaxy S3 a month ago and everything goes really nice. But yesterday i realized that the stock weather widget that it has it gives me wrong location. I tried everything to fix this but nothing worked. The truth is that I like it very much and i do not want to replace it with something else. Is there a way to fix it???
P.S. My gps works really fast and it shows me my current location without any problem.

Issue with weather location

Hey guys im not sure if this is a common issue or not. I would use search but everytime I click on search my internet just sits there and loads for ever and nothing happens.
But here goes.
I have an Xperia Mini using CM10 mod on it. Everytime I pull up the weather on my phone it proceeds to tell me I am in Benton... I am not, I am in Wallsend.
However, I have a feeling it isn't the custom rom that is the issue as it always seemed to do this even on the stock rom from Sony.
I have tried clearing out my Network location data and that seemed to temporarily fix the issue but when I woke up this morning it was back to telling me I am in Benton. Until I went into the maps and told it to find my location! Why can't it automatically do this when I search for the weather?
P.S I am using the weather search feature for Google Now, not a dedicated weather app.
I hope someone can help me as I have searched everywhere and not had a viable answer. If I can't find the answer then its not too much of a problem as I am upgrading to a Galaxy Nexus this September.

[Q] Cannot Add Widgets to S3 (and Note 2) Home Screens

Hi,
I fear this may be a silly question, but I've traversed the Internet as well as this forum and cannot seem to find an answer.
This issue happens on both a newly updated Galaxy S3 running 4.1.1 and Note 2 running the same operating system. Both devices were purchased unlocked in the UK.
Basically, whenever I try to add a widget to one of the home screens by dragging and dropping, the relevant app is launched, rather than the widget being added to the screen. I can add regular app short cuts just fine - this only happens with the widgets.
I've been using the Galaxy S3 for five months now with ICS installed and this issue never happened. I updated to 4.1.1 yesterday. The Note 2 was purchased today and the same issue happens.
I suspect the solution may well be very simple, but I can't seem to find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

vanishing icons bug

I have had this bug on my phone for the last two or three updates now (stock rooted EMC2) ...from time to time, usually about once every three days, when I unlock the phone it will be completely blank except for the wallpaper and the dock divider, with no widgets or app icons whatsoever.
A reboot gets everything back to normal.
It usually happens of course at crucial times, for instance when I suddenly see something that I have to get a quick snapshot of, unlock the phone and ....nothing there.
It does probably more often than not happen when I use the lockscreen app widgets to unlock the phone.
I have never heard of this bug mentioned before, so was wondering if anyone else has the same problem.
It has me considering just giving up with samsung's buggy firmware once and for all and flashing CM.
why not post in the help section?
because i'm not asking for help, i'm referencing a bug that is occurring with my device and would like to know if I am the only one or there are others, or if anyone is aware of such a bug, if a mod wants to move the topic he is welcome to

[q] i need help

Im new to my s4 and need some help!
So because of the memory problems with the s4 i decided to root my s4 and dlt unneeded apps

so i hard reseted my phone to no avail and i still didnt get my old pre installed apps back
so basically
How do i get my temp meter back in the drop menu?
why isnt hard resetting bring all old apps back?
Theres a lot of missing information in your post, but I'll take a swing at what I think you're getting at.
If you're talking about weather in your notification pull down, then what you're probably looking for is Google Now. Open Google Now (click the search field) go through the setup, and weather info should appear eventually.
If that's not it, how did you "hard reset" and what was the exact procedure you used to root?
