[Q] Weather lockscreen doesn't refresh - HTC Sensation

On the last 2 roms I've flashed (Coredroid & P3D), I've noticed that the conditions don't refresh every time I wake my sensation into the weather lockscreen. I've seen others having this problem too, but no one has posted a solution for it yet. Currently, the weather refreshes if you directly open the weather app and it downloads the new info. I've already tried wiping and re-flashing the roms, but no change.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Go into Accounts & Sync and set Weather to update every hour or so in addition to just "Update when opened".

I realized auto-sync was disabled when I accessed the accounts & sync settings, I guess it's disabled by default thanks for your help!

[Q] HTC weather clock widget stuck saying "Current Location"

I've searched everywhere and still no answer. I've had the phone for about 5 days now and starting yesterday I've noticed that this widget doesnt give me a location anymore. It always says "Current Location". When I click on the widget for a quick second it will say my location but refresh again and say "Current Location".
I have Mobile Data turned on and GPS turned on.
I've rebooted my phone many times, removed the battery and all of that stuff.
My phone is still Stock, not rooted or anything.
Is there any fix for this, thanks in advance.
This always used to happen to me on the stock rom. Try going into manage applications and clearing data for weather and weather provider.
Go to setting in the weather app and set my current location to an actual city etc.

i have the same problem yet
i flashed the same rom again and after flashing i got no "current location"
so i makes a restore -> "current location" works
grr i hate this f*ching flashing, after every flash an other thing is not working
Mine never automatically updated, if i wanted to up date I would have to do it manually by clicking refresh...
try syncing you weather with google in the sync device settings, if no luck clear the data in the app.... if still no luck get a 3rd party weather app
Setting your weather to sync auto should fix. If manual sync is selected it obviously wont update your location

I had that problem. Mine was caused by HTC sense syncing. I disabled and it went away. Also switched to adw launcher but I don't think that detail matters.

HTC sense syncs texts, contacts ect, so you get a text it syncs it, I have it fully disabled as I only care for my contacts to sync nothing else and that's done via Gmail anyway

lock screen weather

On both my wife and I's phone the weather on the lock screen updates maybe one a week. It's just annoying as hell was wondering if any one else has this problem and fixed it. Both running just stock rooted roms with the toggle mod. The sync is set to an hour but nothing.
I've personally never had this issue...do u have sync enabled all the time?if not that be the problem ..if u shut off sync it disables apps from auto update n refreshing ...

Weather Widget displays wrong time after DST switch

After my phone switched to DST this morning the Weather Widget is still displaying the old time. I'm removed the widget & re-added and same thing. re-booted and changed cities and still I get the wrong time.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Same here. I've tried changing time zones, setting time to manual, clearing weather app data, clearing cache from recovery, removing and re-adding the widget and multiple reboots. Still displays the wrong time. Maybe it's a problem on the server side. I'm running the latest beta and remember one of the updates created weather widget to show wrong location and temperature. Hope it fixes itself soon.

I think this might be a recent system-wide glitch on Google's server side.
There are several other internet threads on this topic, including on the XDA Pixel 1 XL thread, see:

I've had the same problem on an og Pixel 128 gig on Android 7.2.1 Verizon variant unlocked using depixel8, rooted running old versions of SuperSU and TWRP
Cellular service on a pre-paid T-mobile MVNO
Noticed weather readout missing about 5 days ago 3/21/2018. Homescreen shows only day and date now.
Tried every trick in all the threads shown above, but nothing fixes the problem.
Uninstalling updates to Google app worked first time to get a weather reading, but it never would update and long gone now.
Hope someone under warranty escalates issue with Google.
Once temporarily restored I noticed mine disappears as soon as a calendar appointment or similar appears on the at a glace widget. Also read it's associated with you account insofar as some folk with other accounts get better maileage by switching to those accounts.
Been like if for a while for me - no fix in sight so far...
I have totally stock PIxel 2 64GB
how does Google constantly manage to f up every little thing? I just don't get it.

WOW. those morons at Google tied it into location history!! I had that crap off since day 1 in every phone because it's battery consuming and now i just turned it on and bam, weather instantly back. what a JOKE.

Interesting. Will also try that, as every other trick did not work. Weird Google Dev Guys.
Can confirm, it came directly back after enabling the location history.... Really does not make any sense for me....
Yep it is now tied to location history. They use every possibility to get your data. "You won't give us your location history? Well, than you can't see how the weather is right now"
Does anyone know a similar widget than? Having weather data is not worthy cutting my battery time in half. Also i think the location history is just ridiculous, it does not have a single benefit for me, i just noticed a way worse battery life last time i tested it.
Somehow it's working again without changing anything
so i have pixel 2 xl, and location history enabled on my phone but its still doesnt work.
anyone found a fix for issue?
I think you must update google app to version 7.24.31.
For me after update to last version weather work again
For me it is also available again, with disabled location history (and no app updates since I don't have access to any WiFi at the moment). Strange...
weird. i honestly gave up. f google. I started using nova again with HD widgets like I always did on every phone.

I tried everything above. I finally uninstalled the Google App through the Play Store, then updated the Google App (it's a system app, so it doesn't completely uninstall). That worked for me.
I managed to fix it following these steps.
1. Uninstalled the Google app
2. Opened the outdated app
3. Menu
4. Customize feed
5. Navigated to the Weather section and tapped on View All Settings
6. Disabled "Weather updates" and "Weather updates for your location"
7. Tapped on the DONE button
8. Kill the Google app
9. Went back to the store and updated the Google app
10. Open the app go to customize feed and reenable the weather updates again.
I have used various methods involving uninstalling and reinstalling the Google app. All restore the weather until after the next calendar event appears in the at-a-glace widget
I gave up trying to get "At A Glance" to work consistently. Being at the whim of whatever updates or backend changes Google decides to make turns it into an occasionally useful but mostly inconsistent, useless waste of screen space.
If you use Nova, you can use "Another Widget" from the Play Store. It's layout is identical to At A Glance and allows font, size, and other detailed customizations. It's basically a better "At A Glance" widget.
I just tried something today and the weather at a glance was back. I went into "Customize feed" -> weather settings, and changed "Preferred temperature units" from Celsius to Fahrenheit and weather at a glance was back (both in feed and on home screen). Then I changed it back to Celsius and the weather update is still there... Weird.
I tried every piece of advice I read about it and it didn't work properly (uninstall Google app, enable location history, etc.), but this did it. Hope it helps.
