I have tried numerous searches, both here and google itself....and can't find an answer. I seem to find other people with a similar issue as I am having, but no resolution. I have 2 types of Clock/Weather widgets I have tried to use...both display the time correctly, but no weather. It will show my location, but again...no weather. When you click on where the weather would be, it will tell that there is no forecast details available. When I go into the settings of the widget app I am trying to use, and try to manually put in my location, It will say it can not find my location...no matter if i input the zip code, or city name. But again...the corrct location shows up on the widget itself when the GPS option is selected in location settings. The two widgets I have tried to use is, FANCY WIDGET - and LP SENSE CLOCK WIDGET (Both of which are HTC style clock/weather widgets, just the LP SENSE is the updated 4.0 version)
If anyone has insight on this, It would be appreciated. All I can seem to figure out the issue is, is that something on the phone is preventing weather to be displayed, as the problem happens on 2 different types of widgets.
I have tried a reboot, reinstall, wipe cache, etc
A lot of weather widgets that was using iGoogle's weather API is experiencing this because they shut down Google that API. Either wait for dev to update the app to use a different weather provider or switch weather services.

By switching weather services, do you mean by finding a new widget...or is there a way to change the widgets weather service? I have been trying to figure out a way by editing something within the widget by accessing the files with root explorer, but cant find anything.
You need a new widget. Something like AccuWeather, Weather Channel, Weather bug, etc. You need one that DOESNT use Googles weather service. I've never seen one that let's you change it.

Beautiful Widgets had an option to use either Google or Accuweather as a source, then again it's a paid app. I'm sure it's not the only one out there.

It appears Google has quietly killed its weather API
Reported story from http://thenextweb.com
Last month, Google announced plans to shutter iGoogle, among a bunch of other services. Many developers and users were (and still are) outraged, but at least they have some time to breathe: iGoogle isn’t going away until November 1, 2013. That means there are still 15 months left to adjust and export your data. Yet some changes are already starting to take effect: the company’s private Weather API, for example, appears to be dead in the water.
The Next Web has reached out to Google for comment. While there has been no official announcement or communication indicating that the API has been closed, it is noteworthy that iGoogle — the product that the API serviced — is now using Wundergrond.com instead, as you can see in these two examples: 94102 and Mountain View. This would suggest the search giant has knowingly made the switch.
It would appear that this error is happening because Google has quietly phased out its Weather API. A quick check over at Status Dashboard shows that the response time has dropped to -1 today.
In spite of no official word from Google, Web developers, many of whom have been experiencing issues, seem convinced that the API has been quietly closed down by the search giant. A Hacker News submission points to an error message that Google throws up when you try to query the Weather API with the 94102 area code in San Francisco while another developer over on Stack Overflow points to the same error when you search for a specific city, such as Mountain View:
We’re sorry…
… but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can’t process your request right now.
See Google Help for more information.
The error page features the old Google logo and a 2009 copyright stamp. Twitter users also don’t seem pleased:
Google a coupé son API Google Weather, SUPER…

Things I did not plan on doing this week: Rewriting weather app because Google shut down their weather API!
— Bradley Batt (@bradbatt) August 27, 2012
So Google pulled the plug on their undocumented Weather API? Expect support tickets.
— Joël Cox (@joelcox) August 27, 2012
Web developer Jordan Stephens isn’t even bothering to look for alternatives. In fact, CurrentlyIn has been completely shut down as a result of the Google Weather API outage, according to an error message from the service:
currentlydown : (
Google has shut down its undocumented weather API (which was used by this site).
currentlyin.net will be down for the forseeable future.
As this is a private API, Google is arguably entitled to pull support without warning but that won’t stop developers being disappointed by the move and lack of communication. Since its main purpose was to serve iGoogle, it is perhaps unsurprising that Google has axed it.
I was using Beautiful Widgets. The update as of the 03/09/2012
version 4.12 - 3rd of september 2012
- Remove Google Weather API
Yes Beauriful widgets is your best bet.
Well that explains a fair few things like why W&TW wasn't updating like it should've. While it's currently like 30°c outside today, it (W&TW), was only reporting a current temperature of 15°c, markably cooler then. Having taken the advice to uninstall and, then re-installing the App, has now left me with a dead App that can no longer pull in any Weather data here or from the States. beit by proper Place Name, or by Zipcode.
And I really loved W&TW too...
I for One am gonna miss the Cloud Animations.

I have an HTC HD2 too
and have had the same problem with Fancy Widget not displaying the Week's forecast:
This was resolved by going in to
Opening up the setting of Fany Widgets
Open Location & Settings
change to AccuWeather
change Geocoder to "Weather Provider"
and i only Tick "Geolocation" = dont tick "Use GPS" to save on battery life
This should also help with your Weather location remaining up to date
if they would make games for this i would pay for one or two :good:
a more refined calculator would be good too
food/diet apps (that should be accurate with calories, etc.)
a spending tracker app

A good keyboard and a system for answering msgs (or, why not, other apps such as whatsapp) would be VERY appreciated too.
I would pay also for something like flipboard (of course with a different and smarter layout).

And again Yep, i use my gear fit with my note 3 and it would be great to have the possibility to write down something (msgs, whatsapp, other stuffs) without getting the note out from the backpack, especially while u are walking or moving in general.
Technically it would be feasible using the layout of the old physical keyboards of cell phones (3letters per key) to bypass the problem of the screen dimension.

Clock with Weather and Step count
I'd be willing to pay $10 for a watch face that shows Time/Date, Weather (the same way it shows it on the pre-loaded wallpaper), and Steps (again, same way it shows it on default wallpaper).
I have my watch oriented vertically and I don't really care for the large amount of space that the time takes up on the watch face. I'd love to have the screen divided into thirds with each third containing some useful information.
A keyboard basic. Sometimes thé phone is in the table. I have à baby in my arms sleeping. I can Not take the phone. But i have à gear fit in my hand. But i can Not answer a Good Answer...
I wish to get Sleep as Android to work with gear fit, but the developer said the API does not allow access to the accelerometer.
Gear Fit Fake Call
I think Gear Fit Fake call it useful app you'll pay for it : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ehz.inc.gearfitfakecall
I would like to see an app, what give more time to notifications (SMS's, e-mails, FB etc.) or just lock it to screen like calendar alarms do. 1 - 2 sec. screen showing time is too short.

Two apps I'd like to see
There are two apps I'd pay for.
1) An alarm function. This could be set up from the phone or the Gear Fit,
It could be set from the phone or the device, but it would be really nice to
have it vibrate at a preset so I could wake up or remember an appointment.
2) I like the idea of including the weather and steps in a V-clock, but I
want those with both an analog and digital clock together than looks something
like the attached png.

I also would like to see this same thing. Someone please make this. or link directions on how to do it?!
:good:
An app to control my Roku would be simply amazing.
Also, where can I get the Gear Fit Launcher. Tried searching with no luck...
For catching bus every day, I needed better than minute resolution without the need to twist my wrist - and this is an watch face I came up with: Everyday.
The current version updates the time even in ambient mode every 20 seconds and it doesn't seem to have almost any noticeable effect on my battery. I usually end up with 65% when returning home from work and it is the same with this watch face.
So far the face is tailored a lot to my taste and preferences (black and white, 24 hour mode, date format etc) and it's not configurable. I might continue to experiment with more frequent updates.
Am I the only one who needs seconds in ambient?
Perfect! Thank you! :good:
This is exactly what I was looking for.
Using it with Sony Smartwatch 3.
Does not work
I get an error messsage: "Error: null" when trying to select background picture. How can I transfer the app from my phone to android smartwatch?
If anyone cares, here's the new successor watch face "Just Time" (for Android Wear 2.0+) I created. "Everyday Watch Face" will no longer be updated. Most of the functionality is there plus it handles complications (up to 2 long texts). Native wallpaper support was replaced with support for large background complications. One missing feature is support for custom fonts (TTF). There are also no configurable colors. Let me know if it's something you'd want to use.
It's still free, available from Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brouken.wear.face.justtime

I'm afraid I can't include it directly in the watch face as Product Sans license doesn't allow that. I count it as a request towards custom TTF.

Thank u very much. New widget is super. Would it be posible to make the font of the new widget like aod font? Further best weather app ever!
I tried this app, having used Weather Underground for the last couple of years. I found the interface of Today Weather to be much nicer looking, but I had a few issues which drove me back to Weather Underground.
1) The temperature graph on Today Weather is nice, but I missed the graph from WU, as well as the graph of rain chances over the next week.
2) The top two things I use a weather app for are looking at the forecast and looking at the current radar. Today Weather buries the radar at the bottom of the screen and you can't move it, plus....I just don't know. Is that really radar? It looks like no other radar I've ever seen. I certainly didn't trust it for accurate data. Plus, THIS is the thing that you have to pay for the premium version to get?? I paid it, and I was very disappointed.
3) This is perhaps trumped by #2, but I love that WU provides a radar widget.
4) Furthermore, I wish that the available widgets (which also looked great) had a bit more data.
Today Weather seemed to be primarily about looking nice, which it accomplishes astonishingly, and secondarily about giving you weather in multiple cities. As someone who spends 99.9% of my time in one city, that's not an important thing to me. If I traveled more, maybe...
I like this app. I bought the ad-free IAP on the Play store a few weeks ago to support your development efforts.
Tested your weather app (via above post ).
Really impress with app interface, animation, icon sets,and relevant info. .!
Your options /list re Weather Providers i like.!
Plse note that, I am a sucker for top quality, weather apps.
Have paid versions of most of Android
best weather apps.!!
Bought your app, Today Weather within
10 minutes of testing.!
Only negative comments i have
at moment is you weather radar...?
Could be better.!!!!
eg in G map it shows precipitation
as a white blob...? (instead of blue animation?)
Widget with hourly weather summary
would be nice ?
Good luck with a promising quality app.!
I have tried a few weather apps, but this one is one of the best

Great weather app. Beautifull. But...please please please..make a widget with fong and look like stock s8+ weather app.
Thank u very much.
Really liking the app and have unlocked with the IAP. Probably my only feedback is that the various sources for forecasts don't align with the official forecast issued by the Bureau of Meteorology here in Australia, they are all off by one or two degrees.
purchased the app. overall, I really like it..the look, information provided. The one thing I would like is a better radar. Live in an area with severe storms and it is very important to watch radar to see which way the storm is moving to know if you need to take shelter or not...Please add a better radar...thank you for a beautiful weather app.
Is it loaded with ads?
Purchased it a while ago already, really like it.
The only thing that annoys me is the temperature in the notification bar. At some point, it just stops updating and I have to click on it to open the app and only then it updates. For everything else, it's all good!

Thanks for update ( v 1.2.2.0905017) to weather radar ( G maps )
Already a big positive improvement from previous version !!
It"s a bit jerky and i noticed that the weather radar
does not keep data for offline mode ?
For me it's a big help and saves time , if during the day ,
I have to quickly refer back to weather radar (whilst in offline mode )
only to find no info available ?
......and have to reload the G map radar data ?
Great app, any chance of a mini refresh button in the widgets or a update interval section in settings? Like a previous user stated, sometimes the widget doesn't update.
not working in China
hello all,
it is only me? I cant get app working in China, it even not start, it load just with vpn. leaving a part gmap for radar, it should work same as all others app I have cause it is using same sites for forecasts .
thanks and regards

I just got my watch a couple of days ago and I noticed once you start including background images or custom watchfaces with a lot of text or items on screen, the quality of the image while the watch is locked gets a huge hit. So my favourite watchface now is the TimeTravel one, which is the default watchface usually featured on the publicity pictures of the device: https://us.amazfit.com/shop/pace?variant=25112
This watchface looks neat, and even with the screen locked, the image quality is wonderful. What i lack is weather and battery info on it, and I'd be peachy. Is there a way to modify this watchface or any simmilar one with this simple feature? I've been looking through watchfaces here: https://sawfb.fabiobarbon.click/ but can't find one that meets these specifications.
The is a kinda similar face that I found on that site, its called "bcolor".
I don't think it has weather, but it's pretty easy to edit the face using the sites tools so you should be able to add it.
Also there is another site that seems to have a good selection of faces
