My weather app updates when I tell it to and when I open the app while connected to a network. When I turn the network connection off and leave my phone off for roughly half an hour or more, the weather app decides to revert to the first weather update it received when I first got the phone. Anyone have any idea of why this is or how I can resolve it?
Help!
Well, for the 49 of you who read this, I'm still having a problem with this.
I did a factory reset this morning, and the first weather it saw after the reset is what it's resetting to again. Right around 30 minutes after I update it manually it does this.
I have tried changing every setting: turning on and off Wi-Fi/4G, enabling/disabling all locations, turning off/on sync, only update when I open the app, and everything I could think of. I tried clearing the data for all the widgets and the app itself, and it didn't affect anything.
It's driving me crazy!
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

no, i haven't noticed that on mine, and i keep my mobile network off most of the time cuz i have wifi where ever i go accept driving. it updates through wifi or location i think.
sometimes it doen't update til i flip to that screen, but it doesn't revert back like you say.
i did have one that acting funny on the inc2, it was the audio, i turned off audio animation and it was ok, but thats a different phone i think it was on ukb x of nits.

Lucky. This is driving me crazy. I use the default HTC clock with the weather attached to it on my main home screen, so I see it every time I turn on my phone, even though I don't update the weather until I'm ready to leave most of the time. It's just that when I turn it on, I notice that it changes back.

that's weird
i don't have the weather clock on my home screen
For an even more interesting update on the weather problem I'm having, it is now reverting back to the same weather and temperature it was defaulting to before my factory reset. That either means that my weather app is completely screwed with a default weather embedded in it somehow, or not everything is wiped with its factory data reset. It didn't even take 5 minutes for the data reset, while my original Dinc took 10-15 every time. Mind you, the Inc 4G has twice the RAM and two cores at a faster clock rate, and faster EMMC read/write.
Regardless, it's still driving me crazy.

man i wish i could help ya, but i can't think of a thing, it's a system app so uninstall is out of the question, **** if we had root we could uninstall and reinstall
did you try moving it to a different screen, just a thought

Yeah, I have. It doesn't matter what screen is on or if I take it off my home screens completely. When I open the app it has changed, too.
Completely ridiculous!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Okay, I feel better now. Slightly, at least.
I did another factory data reset. This time I chose not to install any apps or do anything whatsoever to test if an app that I alone seemed to be using was causing the problem. The only things I did was set up my Wi-Fi and turn on Google Location so it would know where I am to update the weather, then I proceeded to update the weather.
I left the phone alone for an hour and it proceeded to inform me that the weather was no longer 90 and sunny but was 83 with thunderstorms. Unfortunately, it's not 83 and storming outside. That's the weather that it was when I bought my phone. Somehow it is firmly ingrained in the device that it should always be the weather it was when I bought the phone.
I really don't know what to do to solve this except wait for root or bring it back and inform them it's defective. How I could be the only one with a busted weather app, I don't know. I want to format /system 10 times so I know everything has to be gone. This is ridiculous!

Are you sure it's not dropping back to the daily forecast? I know that is what mine does when the current information is out of date.

The daily forecast for a week hasn't been 83 and storming. lol. It's only been that temperature and weather at the same time the hour I got my phone in the city I activated it. I wouldn't mind if it dropped the current temp and displayed only the high and low, but it's going to a completely outlandish scenario every 30 minutes, regardless of whether I have weather sync enabled or have even accessed the app and only viewed the widget, and even after two factory data resets. It makes no sense.

Have you tried removing the widget then adding it back and selecting "Current location"? Might be worth a try.

Yes, it's not just the widget, it's the app. I had removed the widget and opened Weather via the app drawer, after turning off update when app is opened. I opened the app and it had changed, despite saying last updated when I had last manually updated it.
Last night when I went to bed, I updated the Weather and it said '81 and clear'. This morning when I woke up it has changed to '83 and intermittent clouds'. While that's definitely a change from '83 and storming', it's wrong about it being 83 because it's '86 and sunny', and it has only rained once since I bought the phone, so it's not the daily forecast, as mentioned before. Thanks for trying, though.

Well, I haven't moved my phone more than 10 feet in the last two hours as it's my lazy Sunday. It's already changed back to 83 and intermittent clouds. I'm glad it's not storming on my phone right now, but it's still being stupid. And my Wi-Fi is off right now, so is 4G, so it can't change location.

Yeah, that's why I said the only things I can do it replace it since I'm still within my 14 days or wait for root. It's not a deal-breaker, I still love the phone, I just wish this stupid app would work for me. lol. I would do a screencast, but it takes 30+ minutes before it reverts, and that's a huge video to upload anywhere.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! And this time I don't feel better.
So, this afternoon after work I took my phone in and exchanged it for a new one, hoping to solve the dreaded 83 and storming problem. All seemed well. 3 hours went by with no weather problems. However, I just glanced down at my phone and lo and behold, 83 and storming. It's currently 82 and clear according to AccuWeather, which is where the phone gets its weather.
Could the problem be with my SIM card? I think they put my old one into my new phone.
I doubt it could be the microSD card, but I'm going to format that twice just in case.
How can I be the only one who's had this issue, and now have had it on two phones???

does the weather lock screen do the same thing??
hi guys
i am having some weird problems with my s3, sometimes when i set my screen time out to 30 seconds. sometimes my s3 screen will not turn off, sometimes this happens while charging, sometimes after getting my battery pack full charge my screen will not also turn off, and the most recent event taht just happened is someone just gave me an phone call and i was not able to answer that call; after that event the screen of my s3 did not turn off. i think it was turned on for about an hour.
is the screen timeout features has bugs? if i set it to 30 seconds this weird event happens; to fix this trouble i need to press the power button manually. if i set it to 15 seconds i think it works ok but the time span is too short for me and right now i am trying to observe the 1 minute screen time out. but for me the 1 minute option is too long.
has anyone of you guys also felt that setting the screen timeout feature to 30 seconds is buggy? and what were your solutions to this problem?
thanks guys
I am experiencing a similar problem however I cant pin it down to a certain circumstance or some up with a solution. The problem seems to have started for me after the Jelly Bean update.
Do you have developer options under settings enabled? If so, do you have "stay awake" ticked or un-ticked?
Also there are couple of widgets causing a problem with screen timeout, like "Extended Controls". If you have that installed, uninstall and check again.

I have checked the setting and the "stay awake" is unchecked. Yesterday it was staying on all of the time, but today it only seems to do it when it is on the charger. To weird... I only have a few widgets I am using, Calendar, weather bug, flip book and Google play Music. are any of these causing a known problem?

Do you have Smart Stay enabled under Settings > Display
I know that if my phone is in certain places in the room when I have been using it and just put it dowb the screen stays on as Smart Stay is detecting that I am still looking at it even though I am not just try turning Smart Stay off for a day and see if it stops doing it.

These are not the "usual suspects" but what I can suggest is removing all of them and adding one by one while checking the time out. Its not the best way but its the only way to identify since its not a common problem :/

I will give this a shot and see what happens. I had used these widgets on my old phone without a problem, but it is worth a try.

I initially thought is had something to do with smart stay as well as I did have it enabled, however turning it off did not solve the problem.
Anyone have a solution? I am experiencing the same issue where the screen does not time out... It will work when i do a reset.
I have tried to disable all widgets and thought that worked, but later determined it was still happening. it really seems sporadic. The problem persists consistently for a period of time, but then will work fine for a while, then go back to not working. My battery is dead now because I missed a call, the screen turned on, and never turned off. I am just discovering this 3 hours later... There has to be a solution. I may have to do a master reset, but I just did one due to reception issues and don't want to go through it again. Who knows if it will even solve the problem.
I've noticed this issue since first getting my S3 in July. So I do know it happened with 4.0.4 and now with 4.1.1. I've never used the "Stay Awake" option in the dev options and it still remains off. I've had the issue with both "Smart Stay" on and off. I've tested it with all screen time out times, as well as going through the trouble of factory resetting the device and nothing changed. The only solution I've found is reboot the phone and it will work again for a day or so until I notice it again. Very annoying and would love to find a solution to this!
I am having the same problem with my AT&T galaxy s III only a hard reset (pull battery) will fix it but it comes back at random times. Any updates on this?
Same problem here, it's strange because it just happens randomly.
Some days I will look at my phone and it appears to have a miraculous 50% battery drop. I too keep screen timeout set to 30 seconds...any insight here would be awesomely appreciated.

You need to check for wakelocks,
Wakelocks can be used by other apps to wake your screen, and keep it on.
I discovered it by using Wakelock app :
Wakelock detector at GooglePlay
Night clock freeze and dont show real time after 2 hours
When i wake up screen it show again correct hour
Is there a solution for that
I am on 6.0.1 full stock
No one can help?
At last someone with the same problem as me. Have you solved this yet?
Don't use Night Clock but I think the root cause must be the new Doze feature on Marshmallow, remember that it closes everything after some hours to save battery. So if you can find what is the name of the apk package related to the Night Clock feature, you can go to Battery settings, and then click on the 3-Dots menu on the top right hand corner and then disable optimization on that apk package, I have a feeling it might be "Edge Screen" try disabling Doze on it first.

Not me. It can't be doze related because doze doesn't work while charging... does it?
Night clock freeze
I had the same problem with my galaxy s6 edge. I solved it by uninstalling the update that had occurred with edge screen. Go to application manager then more then show system apps then edge screen then uninstall update. It asks if you want it to uninstall the update and return to the factory state. Once uninstalled it says that cocktailbar service has been uninstalled. The freezing no longer happens. I do remember an update message telling me cocktail bar service had been updated quite a while ago but I thought nothing of it.

Hi Mark,
I thought I had solved this problem but it appears I haven't.
The only way I can stop the night clock turning off "freezing" during the night is by disabling access to the internet by putting into flight mode or not having WiFi such as when I'm away from home.
The freezing usually occurs between 2am to 4am depending on what time I put the phone down for the night by my bedside.
It is almost as if something interupts it by checking for updates or something like that.
Do you have a solution yet?
So far no software updates seem to have solved it.
Kind Regards

I turned sync off the other night and it was fine all night. Tried it again a second night and it froze again. Thought I had found a work around but sadly not. Reported several times to samsung but still no acknowledgement or fix.
Im really loving my Mate 10 Pro, but im having a really annoying issue.
When i turn on my wifi hotspot, i am able to connect any laptop, and use the internet, but after an amount of time, that i have not measured exactly, the hotspot turns off by itself. It happens within minutes, probably 5 or 10.
I have set the automatic timeout to off, and the amount off data used to infinite, but it still happens.
Any1 facing the same issue or have a solution for it?

If I recall correctly (read about this somewhere) this only happens if you have more than one google account configured on your phone.

Try it out .. like I mentioned I have no own expertise on this.
i have the same issue. it is VERY irritating. I have contacted Huawei who have told me to reset network settings. Which I have, to no avail. I DO have the private user set up as a work space.
I have one other google account set up - will delete and see if that helps.
But i didnt have this issue with my samsung s7. I note that huawei battery optimisation may be militantly destroying anything that runs in the background.
FYI i have timed the switch off after about 5-6 minutes
---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 AM ----------
seems to be a very Huawei problem:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Huawei/comments/8bx7ye/hotspot_turning_off_automatically/
Yeah, I think it is the battery management being trigger happy. It happens to me to many background apps. VERY annoying.
I couldnt find what "app" it would be that I could manage manually as its a system process.
I think i might have found the solution to my own problem.
I had 2 users on the phone, and the other user, which is my girlfriends profile, seem to be the culprit the kept shutting the hotspot off.
So the issue seem to be gone after i set the hotspot to not turn off on her profile.
you could check out FoxFi app as a workaround
I have another user set up but as a work profile. It doesnt actually have the hotspot icon or option on that profile at all. Huawei support gave two options. One is to clear the partition cache and the other to factory reset. Done the former and need to test it properly. Huawei offer factory reset too easily (on another issue I had - try a portrait panorama and see - it comes out unfocused /blended beyond the bottom third)
I had this problem also.
Solution was turning on Hotspot for unlimited time in private area profile.
yes - that was the solution, which I educated Huawei about. He responded to say its a battery saving option to switch off after a certain time - yes, i know. but it should warn you that the private user settings ALSO count
I have a peculiar problem. Went for 2 runs with my stratos.
1st run - ended quite short a distance as it rained halfway through my run. Running activity auto stopped at 6min+ which I thought was weird but thought I might have set something wrong.
2nd run today. It stopped 3 times at 6min +, I had to resume the activity to get it to continue tracking.
I check run settings, nothing seemed to be amissed and all alerts were deactivated as well. Can anyone advise?

Disable auto-pause, you can pause manually using buttons.
The auto stop i encountered was while running, it wasn't due to stopping. My auto pause is for standstill such as traffic lights, etc, unless it is a bug with that auto pause.
