Accuweather lock screen does not update anymore - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anybody face the same problem since a few days ago? I have an ICS and a JB device which both stopped updating the weather and the location in the lock screen.
Both devices are rooted with the SpeedMod kernel. But much longer than the problem persists.
I tried to clear the data of the Accuweather apps. I even restored an older nandroid backup, did a factory reset and finally tried to flash the ICS device with PIT an started from 2.3.3 to update to 4.0.4 again. Nothing changed.
Especially because not even a complete reflash helped, it must be some Accuweather server or service error.
The strange thing is, that the weather/location on the lock (!) screen does update itself, when I add the Accuweather widget to the home (!) screen and update manually. Removing the widget again, will prevent the lock screen weather to "freeze" again.
...on two independent devices!!
EDIT:
The JB device just had a wrong/disabled update interval after a modification. ICS still refuses to update without any known reason.

Seems like a bug, try searching for a mod.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

Bugs don't appear after months of correct function.
And why am I the only one? And why on two different devices?
I don't want to use a mod just because the lock screen weather doesn't update all of a sudden.

I seem to have found the solution. Here's what I did:
Disable lock scree weather in the display settings.
Force close the service and process via application manger (section running).
Clear RAM.
Shut down the system.
Went into CWM recovery and cleared cache and dalvik cache.
Restart system.
Enable lock screen weather.
I can't quite explain, why factory reset and repartition didn't help, but cleaning dalvik cache does.
Does the dalvik cache survive a factory reset?? I guess no. Anyway, it seems to work again.
UPDATE:
Weather doesn't update again.

OK, the JB device has been "fixed". There it was just a reset update interval because of a recently installed mod.
But my ICS device still refuses to update. I desperately tried to factory reset it again with no succes.
Does anybody have an idea? :crying: Root is available, if there's an idea which needs it.

[Q] Problem turning on Wi-fi (KPQ)

So I installed the latest firmware KPQ and wiped data and cache. Everything is working fine with on exception. When I turn on Wi-Fi, only sometimes it stalls and the Wi-Fi icon in the notification bar is stuck at the "turning on" mode.
I do not know what causes this as there is no pattern to when it happens, if just seems to happen randomly. The worst part is when this happens, if I lock my phone, it will not turn on! I have to remove the battery in order for it to work. This is a HUGE annoyance as when I remove the battery my battery percentage usually drops quite a bit.
Like I said, I have the stock firmware (not rooted) and cleared all data and cache prior to and after installing the rom. The issue is random and has only happened three times since the day the rom came out. Which I guess would be about a week.
Anyone have any information on a fix for this? I haven't found anything on this forum or searching google on this subject...
I also have the same problem. I'm on stock XXLPQ (rooted).
First step is backup data and factory reset phone .
Second is reinstall firmware .
How did you install KPQ ??
K is so last year .

I wiped everything from my phone. Then I flashed via Odin. Then I wiped again.

phone turn lockscreen on and off

hay
i hawe a strange problem. Phone turn lockscreen on and off by himself. Idk is there a problem whit software or a program during that.I done factory reset, rebooted phone, but same.
In task no program is runnig only necessary.
What Rom,kernel, and hboot do you have ??? Are you running a theme or have you flashed any extra add ons after you flashed your Rom ??
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
its all orginal. and 2.3.4, Sens 3.0
Phone is new and i dont want to f somthing for now.
I use go launcher, and widgetlocker, but when i delete this programs its the same.
Widget locker most likey is the culprit. Did do the factory reset from the menu settings???
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
yes ,but the same. Only now i made f reset, and didnt installed nothing. Seems to be ok. Hm, must be a program.
Yup widget locker more than likely is the culprit since it effects your lock screen and your having lock screen problems not a 100% sure but I'm pretty positive it is. I would recommend not installing the app again. However you can search the playstore for apps that do the same but don't screw up your lock screen you just have to try a few until you find one that works. Me personally I don't install any app that messes with the lock screen.
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
yes , now im going to reload all apps whitout widgetlocker
Cool that should fix your issue.
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
lol ,now its getting started again. Idk what its wrong. Seems thats hardware software problem. I dont hawe nothing installed.
Hummm ?? Have you tried a factory reset from your bootloader ?? The settings reset isn't really a factory reset. I mean it is but it isn't because it doesn't completely wipe the phone like the bootloader's reset does I believe. Also before you do that or if you decide to do it don't forget to backup all of your imporant data.

i cant get in. Its not rooted.

you dont have to be rooted to reset your phone through bootloader, first go to settings >power > uncheck fast reboot, and then power off your phone, then press Volume down button + power on button, the phone will start in recovery mode, from there you can reset your phone to factory settings, everything will be wiped off so be sure to backup your contacts sms, pictures etc
thanks
it sounds like it might be a problem with your battery cover, ever drop the phone on the power button region?
no, now i wiped everything hole phone + sd card. Now i'm letting him one day noting installed. will see

do post back the results i had the same problem long time ago, but factory reset solved it
for now its ok, but IDK how long.
Glad its working for you.

Sounds like you might be having an issue with the lock button itself, could be software but i doubt it because uninstalling and reinstalling the software should have fixed it. Figure out what programs are using the lockscreen and remove them one at a time and see if one of them is creating a conflict if not then it has to be an issue with the button itself

[Q] Locked of of Settings Menu..pls help

Hello Everyone.
Im having a bit of a problem. Im running the unoffifial beta 2v4 the latest one by flapjaxx. The rom to me in my opinion was running fine until i downloaded all the inverted app for this rom throu the update tools function. I was pretty happy with my choice of rom i loved it. The problem began when my phone started to jam up when looking at my inverted contacts menu, the phone would give me a quick hiptic vibrate and then restart my apex launcher..So long sory short I factory reset the phone and now i can get into the settings menu. Phone states App not installed. i wiped the cach clean and did 3 factory resets btw and It still wont let me into the Settings..The phone now says settings is blocked for security reasons.. what the heck did I do wrong

you can try titanium backup..see if settings is in there and restore it(at your own risk, but its worth a shot), OR start from scratch and re-flash ROM. (do a back up of course!!!
good luck!!!

[Q] my phone desktop disappeared

Hello!
I uninstalled some system applications on my phone and I instantly regretted it and restored applications from back-ups using Wondershare MobileGo for Adroid. However, although it seems all the applications are working again, when I unlock the screen, I get a black screen - no desktop, no application list, but with the notification bar on top which works properly. The clock and calendar are displayed on the unlock screen and the alarm clock woke me up... I got some notifications on the black screen: process.android.acore, process.android.gapps and process.android.vending stopped working, process system stopped working.
How can I solve the problem? Thanx!
Since you have installed system apps, i assume that you are rooted. Now if you have taken a nandroid backup before attempting this, you can go ahead and restore that. If you dont have one, try to do a data wipe/factory reset from recovery. But before doing all these, put a ROM in your SD/internal storage as a backup to flash if something went wrong.
Do a factory reset.. should be fine but if doesn't work take a backup of you data and re-flash your rom
I followed your advice.
I had problems with a factory reset - I did a hard-reset and when a phone turned on, process com.android.browser had immediately stopped working. The screen (which had a message "touch the screen to proceed") dldn`t react to touch, so I got stucked.
I gave up and installed the whole new ROM in the end.
What an adventure...

Failed upgrade

Have a stock T-Mobile Note 8 I purchased in November. I've held off updating for quite some time - I was hoping a "great" root would come along so I was waiting.
Recently my Google app seemed to break - it would load and show the Google logo/whatever at the top but no information below. I tried deleting the cache, and then the app data - still no go. So I decided to finally apply the update that the phone keeps nudging me about. I think this was to go to BQLA.
And after the update...phone boots, compiles, and gets to an initial screen with "System UI has stopped". And that's it. Since I had bluetooth enabled I'm actually still able to answer calls via the headset - but nothing else.
I've tried a cache wipe via recovery - nothing. I tried running an update via Smart Switch (not sure to what version) - and after fiddling with the phone to get it into a mode Smart Switch would recognize it applied whatever that update was. Still get "System UI has stopped" after boot.
The only thing I haven't tried is a factory wipe & reset - because I'm still vaguely hopeful I won't have to and I don't know that it will fix anything anyway.
Any suggestions? Do I try using ODIN and an image from SamMobile? Take it to a Samsung Experience store at Best Buy?
You have done all the right things. your only option is to do a factory reset. hopefully you had things backed up to samsung cloud.
Do you have any overlays or substratum themes installed? I had the same issue awhile ago and I couldn't figure out what to remove via adb. I ended up factory resetting. I think there was something in one of the theming threads.
Edit: all the threads say either try to enter emergency mode or perform a factory reset through the stock recovery.
[hangs head in shame] - yes, I do. Can't stand the default white (why is Samsung so stupid as to use light-colored backgrounds with their AMOLED screens?!)! I guessed that was the case...
I took it to a local service center - and they wiped it (as well as updating to the latest and grittiest) - and it worked. Then I logged into my Samsung account and restored app data - and it locked up again. So now I've wiped twice more while fiddling with it - definitely substratum related.
Thanks for trying!

Your supposed to uninstall all and any substratum apps, mods or tweaks prior to updating or flashing anything
