There is no way to change the source. Been discussed to death in other forums.
The only option would be to find another app from the market.

A shame really, it was poring outside and my phone indicated it was sunny even after an update. Gone to Accuweather site and indicated heavy rain so it's not the latest information being sent to the phone.

Never had an issue with it personally

im trying to change my current location on my htc sensation but i dont know how to

It should be called "inaccuweather", that would be the most accurate thing they have done.

[Q] Sense 3 Weather Live Wallpaper Animations

Hello,
i have a simple question: does anybody know if the animations of the htc weather live wallpaper are getting looped?
and what about the animation when you open the weather app? do they stop after a time or are also looped?
thanks,
a user
I'm also interested!

Your more likely to get a reply to this from tomorrow onwards once there on the street and people have a device to play with.
But for now, let's enjoy the beauty .
can I just ask if there is a way to get these work on SGS II?

No. Many have tried to get Sense on a Samsung device since before Sense 3.0 and continually failed. (Ports that were made were always flakey at best.) Sense is coded to work with drivers HTC uses.
Mine stops after about a minuet and doesn't get looped for both the wallpaper and the application

yes, it gets looped..you can see it upfront anyway, but the time it plays is just short that's why it's hard to notice.

[app] HD Widgets by cloud.tv

I just found a nice new app in the Android Market called HD Widgets by cloud.tv. It's 99 cents for a limited time ($2.99 in the future) and I just bought it. I like it a lot because I've been waiting for a nice tablet clock and weather widget to be available. Check it out if anyone is interested:
https://market.android.com/details?id=cloudtv.hdwidgets&feature=search_result
There's also an article over at AndroidCentral about the app too:
http://www.androidcentral.com/cloud...dgets-designed-specifically-honeycomb-tablets
That's a pretty impressive list of widgets, but I don't think I'm ever interested enough in the weather to use the one in your 4th screenshot. Is that one widget that takes up a whole page?

It's actually the window that opens when you click on the weather from your homescreen. So when you click the widget on your homescreen, those details popup.
NICE widgets. Just purchased and installed. I like it better than the Asus weather widget, which was pretty flaky when updating.
Awesome widgets.

Glad you all liked it! I was talking with one of the developers by email and I was surprised at how fast they responded to an inquiry. Seems like they really stand behind their app.
Purchased the APP as well. My only "gripe" is that I wish they allowed you to put in multiple locations for Weather. Because then it would be awesome. And, I could get rid of Accuweather all together.
Wonder if I should bother them with this?

It looks beautiful. Kinda makes me regret buying Beautiful Widgets... And they spelt "RealFeel" wrongly.
Looks really good and the weather is accurate. Well spend 1$.

Yeah, I think you should bother them about this. It would be a great feature for all of us, and they are really down to Earth. They'd probably listen.
Go for it!

Then that should be changed as it's very misleading, if i bought the app for the full page like i was about to do, i would be very pissed.
Sent them an Email this AM. Will let you all know what happens.

I am running the 1/2 page tablet widget with my screen locked in landscape mode, but sometimes the weather graphic is like twice the size it should be, and covers up the location and date text. Occasionally, changing the orientation of the tab to portrait and back again will cause the widget to redraw and fix the problem. Other times, the display remains perma-goofed.
Anyone else see this kind of behavior?
Since the new update, the weather is not updating at all. Just says "Null". I've tried rebooting, selecting a new weather reporting service, removing and adding the widget again... still no go.
Heard back from them this afternoon. They say that is next on the "to do" list. (multiple weather locations).
Right now they are working on getting it to run on phones...

Luckily I had a Vibrant. Open the App Drawer and click edit (or something like that...if no edit then change the sort order and then it'll let you edit)
Once the icons are bouncy and you can move them, that's when you can change the icons. I believe the blue All Apps icons must stay though.
Keep looking I opened up a thread with a proper sized one that works great on the sensation and themes for it work too

Weather Eye not working?

Anyone having issues with the weather eye app? It just started today, but I can't get my city's weather info to load. It keeps telling me my city's info is not available. I've tried uninstalling then reinstall but to no avail.
Sent from my seksi SGS3 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah. Me too.
I think that I`ve got latest weather update some time in the morning about 12 hours ago. Since then it wont update. Now after I reinstalled it and cleaned cache it show no weather at all
This it the note on google play:
"NOTE: The Weather API is unstable currently. I am looking to switch over to something more stable. Please be patient and stay tuned for a future release..."
Im thinking its only me as im not in any major cities.. The weather data not available since last 15hrs

The developer of Beautiful Widgets also reported a similar problem (https://twitter.com/levelupstudio/status/240154329024172033), so there's something going on with Google Weather API at the moment.

I don't see it as a big deal. The Google weather data never seemed very accurate, and all premium weather apps/widgets offer alternative weather sources such as AccuWeather, Weather Underground, NWS/NOAA, etc.

Technically yes, but the best weather apps/widgets allow us use our own custom icons. I've been using Uccw, I just found weather eye and was wanting to try it out when I found out about this.

Yes, but nexus 4 is known by the bad battery, and i expressed myself badly, i'm sorry,
I didn't test on a full cycle, i'll test today and tell you.
May i suggest one thing?
Since we can change to any wallpaper, we should change day or night mode as well, Night effects on this app are awesome.

Weather Provider
Really the wallpaper that I searched for, even though there are some features missing atm.
My first suggestion is to change the weather provider to Accu Weather, since the HTC weather and clock widget often shows different data than your wallpaper
Would be great if you could include sunrise/sunset times. Right now the wallpaper is showing the moon while the sun is shining.
But besides that, it the best live weather wallpaper there is besides the original from HTC Sense. (Still don't understand why they didn't include it in the newer sense versions.)
Hoping on sunset/sunrise times in the next update!
Thanks, cheers,
