[Solved] Widget weather doesn't update - Themer General Discussion

For the last few days, the Yahoo weather provider hasn't worked at all, and now neither does Open Weather Map for some reason. My Widget has been stuck on 27 C since yesterday, and it hasn't even reached 27 C this year lol. The weather seems wildly inaccurate whenever it does manage to update, which is very rarely over the last few days. I found Yahoo to be most accurate, would be great to have that working again and updating regularly.

Are other apps updating that use GPS?

I just realised for some reason my location had been set to device only instead of high accuracy... no idea how that setting changed, but I changed it back and now it works.

High Data Usage. Which app?

Hi @all,
I have a problem. I´ve got my mobile data flat today. Everything is working fine but my X10 (or an app) is transmitting all the time. In 5 hours 50MB had been transmitted without doing anything on the phone. The phone was only in idle mode on the desk.
So how to find out which app is transmitting? NetCounter only shows that 50MB are transmitted but not from which app.
So, the point is that my battery drains very fast.
And the second point is, that after 200MB my UMTS flat is converted to a GPRS flat.
Can you help me?
Quite a few people reported this problem with data transfer.
You might want to disable Automatic search for updates in Settings, About Phone, Software update and also somebody said that disabling google talk might help.
Give it a try.
Thx. How do I disable google talk?
I didn't try but i assume you can use a startup auditor or any other app to do that.
Uncheck it and then restart the phone.
I had the problem with the engadget widget.
With searching for updates and this app every day my mobile made up to 150mb traffic...

Disable 'background data usage' under data synchronization in settings. Gtalk does infact use a lot of data... but you may also lose auto sync of your calendar due to this.
Hm... I don´t want to lose my calender sync. so I will keep this option on.
I made a Reset on my phone and will try to detect which app is causing this data usage by installing app by app and check the data transmission.
Seems, that an app caused the high data usage.
Since the reset (yesterday) the data usage is normal. I´ve now installed some basic apps like
Netcounter
Home++
Beautiful widgets
and everything is ok.
So now the phone is turned on since 18 hours with data enabled background data usage to sync gmail and calender and the used traffic is about 2 MB with updating the weather widget and received 4 mails.
So my conclusion is, that it has nothing to do with gmail/gtalk/calender sync.
Thanks anyway for all your help.
it was me that said google talk a few days ago caused me to use 70mb in about 6 hours, i now use an app called taskpanel and ive got google talk set to auto kill and everything else set to ignore. since then ive had no problems with data usage and all my calendars and mail etc works as it should.

im pretty sure if you started up google talk you would have the same problem again, ive been having it intermittently since i got the phone about twice every week but since i killed it its not happened once.
I´m not using Google Talk, so I have never started it bevore. But to be sure I will disable it by taskpanel.
GEEEEEZZZZZ
I just got my X10 three days ago, did the 2.1 upgrade two days ago and have already spent R150 just on data...its rediculous!!!!
Previously i had the Sony ericsson p1i and the X1i and didnt have this problem.
What app can i dounload to detect how much MB is being used and what app is using it.
How do i disable google talk?

I think the only way is to download an app from market called titanium backup
and select to disable (or uninstall it)
but to do it you will have to root your phone
If you remove gtalk you can't use market any more.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
its rediculous...there must be an app to block, limit data and tell us which app is consuming most MB.
PLS guys pls help me out...pls guys pls

[Q] Weather app recommendation, please.

I'm looking for a simple, stable, free weather app.
All I want is the current temperature and a forecast for the next 36 hours or so.
It doesn't need to run all the time, but will preferably update fairly quickly when started. Nothing fancy needed. I found one that looked promising and would have been fine except that it was convinced I'm in Idaho when I'm in North Carolina.
Any suggestions?
The weather channel or Weather Bug
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
honestly weather app in Clock works for me
Am using weather info provided in clock just have it on my desktop and click first thing in the morning to get the feel for the upcoming day. As long as you have location and background running updates over wifi very quick over 3g not to bad.
Weather apps don't know where I am.
I don't understand why Maps and Navigation apps have no trouble figuring out my location but every weather app I try is incapable of figuring it out.
I tried News & Weather, which comes with the phone, I tried a handful of different ones from the marketplace. They either tell me they can't establish a location or they freeze while trying to.
Any ideas?
Ensure the following
I have the follow enabled on my phone and weather app inside clock works like a charm:
Wireless & networks:
Wifi and 3G
Location and Security:
Use wireless networks
Use GPS networks
Use assisted GPS
Accounts & Synch:
Background data
Honestly has not failed my yet, very simple weather app and already part of the phone.
I made my settings the same. The only thing that wasn't is that I normally have "Assisted GPS" disabled. I still cannot get weather to work.
Froyo 2.2 official release. I just rooted it today, but this has been going on for a few days now, so that has nothing to do with the problem.
Anybody have any more ideas?
Ok I use clock so try this
Click on clock click on weather even if location is wrong click on settings and set my location. If that does not work set your location manually. hopefully that works.
That worked, but I would like to know what is wrong with the locator.
Don't think you have a problem
Sometimes the Cell Tower sends erroneous info and your phone goes nuts. So you have to tell it where you are.
i use weatherbug and i also use fancy widget its great!

[Q] google maps running & weather update

I've just come from the HD2 and didn't have thjis weather problem.. i've noticed that say i'm on a train, the weather is saying what area i'm in and keeps sayning no weather info available (until i tap it) even though i've turned off any weather sync (unless i tap to maualy update)
I've seen that google maps runs in the background all the time, is it that that is updating my location?
i've turned off latitude btw
baffling me
i dont want anything updating my location unless i do so manualy so just cant get my nut around what is telling the weather where i am
I know this sounds basic, but you do have location unselected in your settings don't you?

How to set Weather location ?

First off, I have to say thank you for this killer app, one of the best Android apps, in the history of Android itself In one click I have a theme in a few seconds, that if I did manually would take me a full frigging day to figure out, amazing.
Question though, on every theme I try it has some different weather location, no my location. I have my location permanent set in my weather app to a fixed zip code.

The problem with this is that the current weather provider we're using is terrible, and it's very difficult to change. We are working hard on switching though, and once it's done there should be no more weather issues :fingers-crossed:
need some help with that too
Yeah, I don't think you can yet. However, it works great for me.
Does it have anything to do with Location Services? The first theme I loaded up showed "location n/a" and I figured it was because I had Location Services turned off. I turned it on and it updated accordingly but now it's kind of hit or miss.

auto updates from playstore

Anyone facing this issue? I've set play store to never auto update etc but every once in awhile over the last few weeks I see several updates are pending then the next day they've auto updated. This is extremely frustrating especially with some apps like youtube vanced which I definitely do not want updated. I can't seem to find out where this is occuring at all.

Yes, me also. I rolled back a Gmail update and was very annoyed to find it auto updated itself after a week or so of me ignoring it.
yup, I have this problem too on xiaomi eu rom
I think I've figured a solution - so for whatever reason my playstore periodically overrides and resets my update settings to auto update and over data and wifi. This is unacceptable as I definitely wouldn't want to incur data charges for updates or have updates forced on me but is what it is --- what has been working so far is leaving the settings at auto update (wifi only) BUT going to the individual app I do not want installed and specifically unchecking autoupdate on that app. The hamburger/3 dots option top right in playstore for the individual application's home screen.
