[Q] Touchwiz weather widget withdrawal - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I would like to ask for solutions to reduce the withdrawal of the Note 3 weather widget. If I open an app and I back to the homescreen, the weather widget disappears for a second then reappears. It looks like it is killed every time when I kill an app or clear memory, so how can I solve this

unused but active Widgets!?

Hi,
I have many different Launchers with many widgets and different layouts installed and i like to switch them every few days.
For my Problem imagine this case:
-ADW.Launcher has a clock widget placed
-LauncherPro has a weather widget placed
now, even though i have the LauncherPro set as default launcher the clock widget stays active (i see it in running tasks)
is there a way to disable this without removing the widgets from the homescreen temporary?
thanks for your help
Noone?

Disapointed in stock programs

Hi,
I just have my S3 and I am a bit disapointed the lack of customizability of some of the stock programs.
S Planner looks good but I miss the sync of my tasks from gmail. Also very limited in gadgets.
Weather widget is terrible. how can I personalize it? 1 look, no more
only 1 lock screen?
I like the weather widget on the lockscreen, if I remove the weather widget can I stil use it?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
remove ?? uninstall ??
then how r you suppose to use that ??
and if u means just clearing from the desktop then yes
No other weather app/widget that integrates in the lockscreen?
If I install another then 2 apps will get weather data (1 lockscreen default, 1 widget download)

What weather widget is this?

Hello guys,
I'm looking for this Weather Widget, an online friend of mine has a LG Maximo 2x with this widget (see attachment, since I can't publish outside link because I'm a recent user)
This is the animation that opens when she tap the widget on me phone desktop.
She told me this is Accuweather version, but I can't find it . (maybe it isn't accuweather, I only know what she told me).
This app also allows sharing with social networks.
I would really like to find it. Please help me.
:fingers-crossed:
It is accuweather, since it displays RealFeel temperature, which is a trademark of accuweather. However, it is different than the accuweather widget we have for touchwiz. It is probably specific to whatever framework the LG phones use.
Nifty little widget there. Me likie.

This is the Accuweather widget, as stated above, but there is a difference between this widget and the widget that comes pre-installed on your S2. The pre-installed widget takes up half the screen and does virtually nothing if you press it. The widget in your picture is available after you download the "Accuweather for Android" app from Google Play.
After you have installed that app, add the plain Accuweather widget to whatever screen you want (!!!not the Accuweather.COM widget!!!) and you should have a very similar, if not identical, widget to what your friend has.
Keep in mind, though, that the picture you posted will only show up after you press the widget for more details. The actual widget is very small and has no animation.
I have AccuWeather for Android installed and that is definitely NOT the widget from it.
It has two, and neither one is the one in that screenshot. Its got the original dark grey 4x1 widget and a new, rather ugly and seriously battery killing, 4x2 with the weather and a clock.
As said, its probably a custom version done for LG just like Samsung has their own.
Not sure what you expect the stock TW AccuWeather widget to do when you touch it. It opens up the Samsung AccuWeather app just fine for me, just like the one from the Play Store opens its respective app.

The only one Accuweather for Android that appears on the GooglePlay is that Accuweather.com (wich is ugly, its the black one with no animation at all).
I really can't find that Accueweather for Android.
The imagem attached is the Accuweather for Android.
Hmm
Well I have the GoWeather Ex widget that is pretty similar to that one, maybe you should try that one out buddy.

calendar widget does not update

I have the problem, that the calendar widget does only update, when scrolling down. I have resized the widget to one full home screen, so that scrolling is possible, but the widget only updates, when i start scrolling but it should update when the event or day is over, but it does not. does anyone else has the same problem?
I'm on lates stock 4.1.B.0.587
which Calendar widget are you using ?
the Stock widget does not show the Month Calendar in widget, it just shows the upcoming events.
yes, i use the stock widget wich shows the upcoming events. and when there are many events it is scrollable when enlarged
Force stop your Launcher, from All Application menu in Setting - Applications.
seems like it is a bug, it does not work and is independend from force stop of the launcher. same problem happens when restarting the phone

Weather widget with tap to refresh

The Samsung Galaxy S6 has a weather widget that works great, however it has an unnecessary clock included in the widget, with no alternative that doesn't include the clock. Importantly, the stock weather widget has a refresh "button" on the bottom right of the widget, which allows the temperature to be updated without having to open the AccuWeather app (or the default stock rendition of it).
I have tried other weather widgets, such as Beautiful Widgets, HD Widgets, and AccuWeather App. However, none have the ability to refresh without opening the app. I saw http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601134, but the apps mentioned have issues according to the latest reviews, perhaps because they are no longer being developed
Can someone suggest a weather widget that:
Allows refreshing of the temperature/weather by tapping somewhere on the widget
Takes no more than a 2x1 area
And is preferably free
