For some reason my Weather Widget doesnt update itself that often. Like earlier this morning it said it was clear, but with the moon, yet it was sunny out...LOL Any ideas?
Does it ever update? If not, check your Location settings. If it does, then sometimes you just have to wait for the connection. I've seen it take a while to get the update sometimes, but eventually if you're sitting on the home screen it should update if location settings are on and you have a data connection.
I was running totally stock last night. It told me it was sunny and clear and it was night time. It seems to be having issues.
Yea location is on. I just thought it was weird that its not updating all the time.
My HTC weather widget updates very sporadically throughout the day, however it does work.
Email HTC about this. The more people who tell them about it, the greater the chance we will see updates and fixes coming out.
I know these posts are old but i'm bored!
If you have a 'task manager' installed make sure it's not stopping these updating functions by default.

I had a weird problem this morning when the weather was still showing a moon after updating at 10:34am. It finally changed to a sun after I manually clicked on "Update Now". Anyone know where in the registry it tells Sense Touch what time to show Moon or Sun in the weather? It seems that my HD2 likes the moon much more than the sun..

It is normal, not issue. Look at the wheather of the next day at the time you updated.
it is not normal.
I noticed this too recently.
Normally (before), ~8am, after weather update, I get a Sun. Recent 1-2 weeks, I still get a moon after update at ~9 or 10am.
Of course, the app is normal, i think the weather source is abnormal.
Same issue with me. I though it might have been caused by installing the new AGPS hot-fix from the HTC website in Hong Kong.

That's definitely possible since I just added the AGPS hotfix yesterday.
i don't feel it is caused by AGPS. I noticed this before installing the AGPS fix.
BTW, I noticed we are all from HK. seems this is only affecting HK users.
Hello Guys,
It is not only HK...I faced this issue also and I am in Singapore.
I noticed this problem on the mobile off and on.
I just did an Update Now and it shows Singapore as Mostly Cloudy with the Sun in the background.
However, on My Location it shows Intermittent Clouds with the Moon in the background!
****!

I noticed the same thing again this morning... It updated at 9:45am and it still came back to display the moon instead of the sun...
possible only affecting GMT +8 (if not country specific)?
The weather source is from accuweather.com. Will check their web site tomorrow to see if it is caused by accuweather.
I m from Israel and I get the same thing for quite some time now. I thing the have an issue with their timezones database
It is AccuWeather.com problem. 9.13am HKT, it still displays moon (see attached picture).
Copied from another thread.
When you set up your HD2 after a hard reset, you may be tempted to disable the Google locations because the system warns you it my cause data costs. But if you disable it, your weather information will be wonky, including the midnight sun and noon-day moon.
I have cured this problem by re-setting with all the hot-fixes removed and enabling Google locations.

I recently just reset the phone enabling google location service but the problem is still there. I don't think that would account for so many people having the same problem.
Folk, did you disable the Google location service? It won't work properly without it.
As mentioned already its accuweather thats at fault. Its a crap service, always has been.
Anyone in Canada (or outside) experiencing the same? Past 2 days it has been stuck, even manual refresh won't work. Possible problem with connection with Accuweather?
Another issue:
Now that I have a folio case my gps compass is always asking to the do a figure 8 which I refuse because it is silly and gay.
I don't know that my weather widget has ever really updated. I'm in Ohio. 95% of the time when I manually update it doesn't work either. Not sure what's wrong with it but I don't usually use it. This carried over from my old TF with a bad screen to my new one.

That's the problem with stock apps if there are changes made with the 3rd party source it takes an entire firmware change to correct the issue with the stock app. Wish they went thru market so fixes can be made on the fly. The problem of leaving it open is it is draining batt everytime it checks for an update and can't get thru.
I think there is a connection problem with Accuweather and for me this occured after 3.2. Oh, well I removed the app and went with Palmary.
Its really unfortunate that this widget sucks! It's a nice design (without having to buy Beau. Widgets, that most people seem to agree, as a lot of screen shot posts seem to have it.
Mine lags behind severely in updating, and when it does, it's inaccurate.
I am wondering if anyone else has seen this. I have had my phone for over a month, and love it, normally DO NOT like widgets but I must say Circles is cool. So I have been running circle widget since I bought the phone, and have had no issue. One NIGHT about 10pm i unlocked my phone to see the weather in my area was SUNNY and 40. As I looked out the windows, I would say moony but not sunny. After further looking, I found that if I turned of use location in the weather settings, and put my city there, updating worked fine. I don't mind this, but I like the use location cause as I travel from place to place, I have a quick look at the weather for where I am as opposed to having to change cities. Any Thoughts? I hopped that the JB OTA might fix this, but it did not seem to.
I noticed my maxx hd doing this same exact thing a few days ago. It normally works great and updates very quickly but the last few days its been getting stuck for some reason. A few reboots seemed to straighten it out for now.
Sounds dumb, but try pulling that widget off your screen, and clearing app data/cache in app manager. Reboot, then put it back on. Sounds like it could be a cache error.
All,
First time poster, frequent visitor of XDA Forums. I've come across an odd issue that I don't know how to solve and I'm hoping some of you smarter than me folks can get me squared away.
I have a Galaxy S8+ from AT&T running Android 7.0 and Samsung Experience 8.1.
Problem:
I've recently noticed a delay or completely non-updating interface on my phone. It updates on occasion, but I can't determine what triggers an update. For example, I will pick up my phone from the desk and when I press the power button it shows the accurate time. When I unlock the device, the sense flip clock I use on the main home screen shows an earlier time (could be 30 minutes... could be a few hours). I don't believe it's just the Sense app because I noticed this issue where I checked a facebook messenger app that came and and when I closed the app, it still showed I had 1 notification. I went back in thinking I had another new message, but I didn't. So it was still hanging on to the notification. It happened a couple times with a text message as well. Most importantly, my calendar doesn't alert me prior to an appointment either, even though it's showing in my calendar and an alert is active. If I save an event, and exit, I can normally see the event appear on the on widget immediately as well... but that hasn't been happening. I have to press the widget to open it and confirm it is there (which it always is). Eventually it refreshes and shows up. But that delay is likely the reason why I'm not getting my alerts.
All of this did seem to happen after a recent update Samsung/AT&T pushed out but I don't know for sure. I tried clearing the cache from the boot menu but it doesn't seem there is wide success with that.
And perhaps I'm just not a good enough user, but everything isn't all backed up in the cloud so doing the factory reset to me is always a fairly large task as I have many things to manually transfer out and then back in. Not sure if there are great tools that help with this on a stock phone.
BUMP
try disabling battery optimization for those apps.
It seems that you have several bugs and if they all start happening after you have installed the latest update, then expect a patch coming soon.

I have actually done that. Found very limited success. I'm also finding very few results on this topic. Surely it's not just me though.
And I'm dreading the idea of a hard reset as I have many things on my phones, not all of which is sync'd to the cloud so it's a task to back things up appropriate. Specifically regarding "encrypted" apps like my password keeper app etc.
It would be great if there was a software application that allowed you to backup whatever is necessary to not lose data, then wipe the phone and instead of just simply restoring the full phone (which is likely to create the same problem one had before the hard reset), you could simply dump back in app data as needed. It would also help diagnose if the problem lies in a specific app's data.
High level overview of issues...
I have the Ring Doorbell app. I get notifications after "live". Could be 5 minutes, could be 1 hour... or possibly not at all. I have the app setup on my wife's iPhone and she gets them immediately. If I restart the phone, I will get notified right away (it's like it runs the app again and then I get the notification). Keep in mind, this is AFTER i disabled the battery optimization feature for the Ring app.
I also notice it occasionally with texting. I won't have any text notification in the notification panel, nor will my messaging icon have a little red circle indicating a message is there. But if I open the app, a specification conversation will have a red circle indicating a new text is unread.
All of this is leading me to believe the Samsung UI itself is not updating and therefore notifications that actually have arrived (from whatever app), are not displaying because of the UI and not because of their own delay.
Because of this concern I have turned off battery optimization for "System UI", "Themes", and "TouchWiz Home". I have not seen any change however.
[Solved]
I was able to determine by various other threads around the web (thought for sure I'd find it here, but I didn't) that the culprit might be the Google app. Supposedly it was fixed in some prior release, but it's not on my Galaxy S8+ w/ AT&T.
Once I disabled the Google app all the odd issues with notifications and clock interfaces and app icons not updating went away. The downside to disabling it is that I lose the Google Assistant functionality which stinks but otherwise there is no impact to using the phone. I re-enabled it at a later date and it worked fine for a few days and then started acting up again. Once I disabled it, the problems all disappeared. Clearly Google app is to blame.

Samsung smart switch works wonders, the only thing that doesn't restore is passwords, you have to have and external SD card for it to work, or plug it in to a computer

Go to settings and check if your time is setup to adjust automatically.

That is not the issue. As mentioned, it's not just the clock it's multiple interfaces.
