[Q] Lock screen weather widget cannot get data - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am on CM Super Lite ROM. For the first few weeks the weather data on the lock screen worked perfectly. Then it stopped getting data. It just says "No data - Tap to refresh". When I tap on the icon, it tries to download data but fails and gives the same message.
I tried with automatic location setting and manual location setting and both fails. All other data connections work. So I know that it is not a data connection problem.
Adding to the mystery, I have installed a home screen widget called advanced clock widget. It has a weather feature as well and it also cannot get any data.
I suspect that both software are trying to get their data from the same resource (Yahoo Weather?) and somehow my phone refuses to connect to that resource. How is this possible? Is there anything I can do to investigate this further? I can try a reflash but I am willing to try alternatives first.

My weather widget quit working too. I'm on epinter 10.0

The same problem on HTC HD2 JB 4.1.2.

My wife's HTC HD2 weather widget stopped working too. I think this is becoming a cronic problem. I am surprised that this is not widely discussed.

Same on my Samsung i9001 with EHNDROIX II ROM (CM10.1) - I think that Yahoo Weather is the common denominator here and that problem is there...

has anyone been able to get a fix for this issue. I think it has to do with yahoo weather also as mine stopped working a week ago. Is there any way a person can use a different source to get the weather updated? Like instead of yahoo weather can we use like google weather or something else within our lock screen?

This is a known issue. Apparently Yahoo decided to change their weather API.

There's already a fix for those on CM10.1:

But for those of us on CM10 there is no fix yet (as far as I know).

[Q] HTC Mobile Instant Messaging Not working

Ive searched the site but havent found any answers.
I managed to render my Sense Mobile Instant Messaging widget in operable. after installing the new BAMF 1.5. So far Ive cleared the App cache for Sense IM, as well as Verizon Single Sign on Engine. It asks me for a log/pass then hangs. Is there a way I can reinstall from scratch or am I missing a cache I need to clear?
(as a side question are there any IM Widgets that would get the same functionality? I really dont care what it is so long as it works as a widget on one of my pages)
TIA!

[Q] Genie Widget Issues

I've been having a lot of issues with Genie Widget (running on Miui). 90% of the time when I open the News & Weather app, it will say "Sorry, weather currently unavailable." and refreshing it will give me the same message. This is a problem because the weather will rarely show up on my Miui lockscreen. I've noticed if I re-enter my set location again (not using GPS), it will sometimes work and bring back weather but it will return to the same "Sorry, weather currently unavailable." message shortly after.
Anyone else having this persistent issue and know of any fix?
All I can say is using several other Roms (Superclean3 and Geewiz etc...) I have been having the same issue for weeks now and can not seem to figure out what may be causing the problem.
I was having the same Issues until I switch my radio I was on dl9 switch to e09 and worked for me you could try that. Or switch to any radio
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
hmm I'm already on e09 but maybe I'll try reflashing it
I have tried several radio files and does not make a diff since I switched to a GB Mod. For what ever reason for me Genie does not want o play well anymore.
I'm bumbing this because out of the blue both my ray and sgs2 are currently not able to show the weather and it's been working fine since I got the phones.
Ray is running a aosp version ontop of a semc build and the sgs2 is running paranoid (cm9).
I think it's odd that both phones got the same issue and it's been like this a couple of days now

[Q] gmail crashing

Hello,
Is anyone else having issues with Gmail crashing?
I can get it to crash by looking at "all mail" and then scrolling down.
On my galaxy nexus this scrolling goes back to the server and loads more messages. On my prime it just crashes and goes completely black or crashes to the home screen. I have to then force stop Gmail in order to get it to load again.
I'm having the exact same problem with my prime. I'm guessing it had to do with some other app that is running because if i restart my prime, it doesn't happen again for a while. I've searched and haven't found any others having this problem though.
I also experience some "back to homescreen" while messing in Gmail. I just cleared the data/cache to see if it will help.
I am having these troubles, too. Have anybodies problems been solved (perhaps with the new Firmwares that were put out by Asus - I am still on 9.4.2.11 as I am based in Austria) ?
The .15 update has made it so that I do not crash any longer while scrolling.
Although, sometimes when I scroll down it just sits there....loading conversations....
I still experience gmail crash... I run WW .14. I hope .15 will fix it when it will be available.
Mine crashes as well on the lastest OTA firmware. I don't think I even need to scroll to crash to homescreen. I think it does it even when I just click on an email occasionally.
Gmail crashes soooo often for me. It's driving me batty. Any ideas on how to fix it yet?

Have you cleared the cache and data?

In the few cases I've seen mentioned, whether that even helps temporarily is debatable. In my case it didn't help at all, so I just set up the "EMail" app to get my GMail instead of the GMail app.
yes i have tried that mltiple times, removed the gmail widget since i saw some mention that it could be causing the problems. no luck. removed other widgets one at a time as well. removing beautiful widgets seems to help with the home screen "crash" I was experiencing a lot, but does nothing to fix gmail
I guess I'll have to set up another email app or use a browser, but damn! neither are great fixes (
I just started using the ASUS Email app. That seems to work fine, including the widgets.
This is BS
Come on, Asus, this is Gmail, not some goofy homegrown app or a game or something. And this has been going on for a while. It is not something that just started. I swear Asus has their priorities up their ass sometimes.
I have the same problem ever since the last OTA update. The gmail app is virtually unusable, also get a similar problem with Maps crashing out when searching for places but I guess that's for a different thread.
Tried many things one of which, removing the Beautiful Widgets home screen weather/clock widget, solved a different problem where all the icons would disappear from the home screens.
It's a real shame 'cos I've had none of the hardware problems other people have had, but the flaky apps/browser/ICS are really making this tablet very difficult to use as an everyday device. Maybe it's time to unlock and try Virtuous ROM.
Maybe it's related to this:
http://www.androidcentral.com/google-acknowledges-gmail-app-may-be-flickering-says-fix-way
Acer Iconia A500 -- received stock ICS update a week ago and since then Gmail app has been playing up like all of you guys -- random crashes, flickering, freezes etc.
Very frustrating because that's the most used app on my tab. Now I have to revert to using native email app which kinda suck.

Geolocation doesn't work in fancy widget, beautiful widget and facebook.

Ever since upgrading to 4.0.3 (ZSLPE stock rom), Geolocation has never worked well on my phone. Whilst Geolocation still works perfectly on Google Maps (no matter whether GPS is on or not). Geolocation in apps never works.
For Facebook, it has never been able to find my location (back in the days of 2.3.x, it was perfectly fine). But I think it's a common problem for ZSLPE stock rom, so that's ok.
As for Fancy and Beautiful widgets, Geolocation works very strangely. For example, when I am at home using 3G, Geolocation always identify my home/hometown accurately. But when I move to another place that's far away from my home/hometown, say move to a place that's 20km away from home, and update the weather and location, Geolocation always identifies my location as my hometown. This never happened when I was using 2.3.x
If anyone could help me solve the issue, it would be very much appreciated.
Many Thanks

I have the same problem, sometimes when my gps is dissabled beautiful widgets show the name of an other cicty 20km distance
Just to add a bit more details.
Geolocation never updates my location whether I have GPS turned on or not (it only shows my hometown regardless of where I am, and whether I have GPS turned on).
Also Navigation doesn't work
Same issue here... any one can help?
I had the same problem with the latest Mildwild ROM for the HTC Desire (which in turn is based on Oxygen 2.3.2 AOSP - Gingerbread 2.3.7), and latest beautiful widgets 4.05. I solved it just by selecting Accuweather for weather provider instead of Google.

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.
