Is there any way to use the Sense Clock Widget "WITHOUT" having Google's location service turned on. The weather app works without it turned on, the car mode shows weather, and even other clock widgets that display weather do it without location service turned on.
If you want to just set an fixed location : remove the widget, set the location, add the widget.

Naw not really what I'm looking for. Just wondering if there is a way around it seemingly being tied to Google location services. Leaving that turned on drains battery faster than with it off IME.

How do I get the Weather widget to update the current location, it manually lists it, but not update the location with the weather
Don't understand, but if you want to enable the Auto Refresh feature then you can do it under Settings, You can also Enable your current location by ticking it, and also if you have more than one city added then you could Enable Auto Scrolling feature which will show all the cities in a cyclic order on the widget in an interval of 8-9 seconds.
Regards.

sorry if post was confusing, on my older HTC phones, whenever it updated the weather, it diplayed my Current location as per GPS, this one only keeps displaying home location.
No takers?

Anyone having the home screen weather/clock widget not update your current location? and yes it is set to use current location in the settings. Is there anyway to clear the widget data?
I posted about the same issue some days ago.
Finally I got it fixed. I had noticed that each time I went to the clock app and open the desktop clock tab, it updated the current location. So I looked around and found that it was possible to have the weather on the lockscreen, what I did. I also went to settings>applications management>all and force weather main to stop.
I don't know which stage has been efficient but now my location is correctly updated each hour. I think it's worth a try.

I know it's an old thread, but I had the same problem and it got me on the right track. You need to have WiFi location enabled if you're connected to WiFi.
How can u force a location change on thus thing? Although I have refreshed the weather it still shows a weather of a different city I was many hours ago.

EDIT: before you go down and read the last page, as 99% of the posts are irrelevant, what i had to do in the interim for both of these is this:
1) go to the search cities through the widget and re-add the current location screen which immediately found my location
2) once this was done, the lockscreen was still stuck on the previous location, and this was solved by a restart.
Unfortunately forcing an update on the weather, did not change the location. Turning on the GPS did not either. Therefore im not sure if the update frequency changes this would allow for more accurate location service, or its a small bug that samsung needs to look into.

It's in the clock app. Not sure if you've set another one as default or even if you can, but the regular clock app is where mine are stored.

K, i found the alarms in the clock but not the countdown timers... after i leave Svoice after setting an countdown.. how to i cancel it?
it no longer shows up in the Svoice screen if you have exited it..
In apps, do you go into the app just called 'clock' with an analogue clock face image? That's the one on my phone. At the top of the screen then there will be some tabs for selecting Alarm Clock, World Clock, Stopwatch, Timer and Desk Clock. That's where the svoice set alarms/timers are set.
I have been able to set an alarm, then later edit it, both via svoice.
My clock shows no alarms, but it will go off every day at 8:30 am. Driving me nuts. I have Alarm Clock + as well, but it's not there either. I seem to have turned it on with S-Voice, but S-voice can't find it to turn it off, either.
Ok I'm usually an auto sync off and location services off type of guy. But with this sense lockscreen the no weather/ no location info thing is annoying and looks terrible. So I've turned locationservices on but my weather only syncs with auto sync on. Is there a good app that will schedule all my accounts to sync I.e. once an hour etc so to save battery and I keep that weather icon? Or a way to make the weather stick on the lockscreen and not disappear?
