Anyone know what happened to the Google weather page? Google implemented a weather page when you simply search for "weather" from your phone, and it displayed the current weather with a drag bar to go through different times of the day, along with forecast for the next few days.
That page doesn't show up anymore when I search for "weather". Did Google remove this? I thought it was pretty neat to have.

Odd. My beautiful widget still gets it's weather updates from Google weather but you're right, the page isn't there anymore.

So I was using Nils Ginger Sense and while I love the ROM and GB of course it's just not working quite right with my exchage email and agenda widget. However there is a traffic widget on it that is awesome! It's a small 1X1 widget that looks like part of a stop light. You set a predetermined location for the widget and then simply by clicking on it, it will refresh and display an estimated time of arrival but more importantly it would display a green, yellow, or red light depending on the amount of traffic. I know the area I live in very well so I don't need to open up full on navigation to see traffic, this APP is perfect and I can't find anything even close to it on the MP....anyone have any idea where I can get it for a Froyo ROM?
AFAIK that widget is from Google Maps. Check you Maps Widgets.
Regards.
The widget is showing up as "Google" so it isn't a Sense widget. Not sire if it is GB or from Maps, I've never seen it before.

Bah, totally didn't think of that. However this ROM doesn't have it installed stock and I'm getting an install error saying the package isn't signed correctly....any ideas on that?
HA! Got it it was installed and not showing up in any list, so I uninstalled it and this widget is part of the new Google Maps package...WIN!
Sorry if this has been covered, but every search just pulled up the main search function issues. What I'm looking for is a way to search for a specific widget installed on the phone.
With GB, a long press on the homescreen would bring up a widget list that could be quickly scrolled through. With the stock ICS setup, the only way to add a widget is to find it by scrolling page after page of widgets until you get to the one you want. If your widget starts with one of the end letters of the alphabet, you'll be scrolling through lots of pages!
I'm surprised there isn't an easy way to search for a specific widget. I checked the search settings and can include installed apps but not widgets. Is there an easier way to quickly find a widget you want to add to the homescreen?
You can try 3rd party launcher like holo or go launcher

I've tried several - most replace the widget tab on the app drawer with the old-style longpress on homescreen to add a widget. But when you do that - the labels on the widgets don't show up! There is some bug maybe because in ICS this is not the designed way to add widgets and the labels show up as white text on white background. You can get around it by press & hold to see the single widget text but it's actually harder than stock ICS. I did read somewhere that if you root, you can go play with some of the files to fix this.
But I was hoping there was an easier way to search for a specific widget Kinda strange for Google to leave that out.
Whenever I check for weather with google search or google now, I get a forecast but the weather icons show up as broken links and I cannot use the slider to check the hourly changes in weather.
Also when I search for images with those two ways, only the first four results show up and the rest of the results are blank and I cannot select any of the results either.
Has anyone else seen this before and know how to fix it?
Just unboxed my Pixel.... wow it is fast...
but... my homescreen setup involves having a large Google Now widget front and centre.... but when i went to add it, the widget isn't there....
i've seen some articles about how the now widget was missing from some other phones that were trying out the Pixel launcher? Apparently the google search strip shows transparent google now style notifications - but not seen any yet...
i know all the info is on the screen to the left of the homescreen... but i want to see it all on my homescreen
anyone seen / found it?
Okay. Pixel launcher just updated on my handset and now the Google Now widget is back.
<Panic over>
Today I notices when I clicked on the weather logo on the top of the home screen which shows your the current weather. Instead of loading the weather for the location i'm at, it just loads up google search. Is anyone else noticing this.
Just had an update to Google from the app store and it's working as it should again.
