Weather Widget doesn't auto-refresh - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

The stock weather widget never auto-refreshes even though I have that option checked.
Figure there's nothing I can do about it but use another widget, just wanted to note it here so others know they are not alone with this issue.

what checkbox? touch the widget to bring up the app. then do menu>settings. now choose auto refresh. mine is set to one hour and is working fine.

OK, so it's a radio button instead of a checkbox
I have it set to auto-refresh every hour and it doesn't work for me.
Good to know it works for someone though..

do you have auto sync and background data turned on?

Yes, it's on.

So I noticed today it is refreshing against the current location however the location is not changing as I move around. Is that what you are saying?

My stock (accuweather) app is also auto-refreshing. I've never had a problem with it.
But my stock news (ap mobile) only just tonight started to auto-refresh. Right after I changed it from 5-second auto-scroll to 10-second auto-scroll. And while now it auto-refreshes, it no longer auto-scrolls.
Both apps have always been set to auto refresh.

I have the same issue on my original GSII. I've removed a lot of stock apps (safe ones, of course). But perhaps one contributes to/interacts with the refresh in some way? Any ideas?

Weather not updating on home screen

I have searched but could not find an answer to my exact problem. I have the stock Spring 6.5 ROM and the weather information on my home screen will not update unless I goto the weather tab in which case it updates there and then updates the home screen. I have it set to update every 15min but I will lock the screen then turn it on 3 hours later and the weather info will still be the same. Any ideas??
same here bro, must be a bug...gotta go to the weather tab and hit update now in order for the home screen to reflect the correct weather info
Anyone has the solution?
I developed the same problem four days ago. Neither my location nor the local forecast will update, even if I do it manually. GPS works for Google Maps and other programs, and I can update weather for the major cities but not my location ... it just stuck. If it makes any difference, I'm running a stock WM6.5 with Cookie's HomeTab, but the weather was working just fine under those conditions for a long time.
did u select update when romaing as well?

For me, it doesn't matter whether or not I select "roaming": no update. I have tried every combination of weather and GPS settings I can think of, short of a registry edit.

it's not you or your phone...it's something with htc and the sense my location software. it went out on my t-mo hd2 for 4 weeks, then started working again. i went to the tmo store and the demo in the store was doing the same thing. if you manually enter your location, i bet the correct forcast comes up . you're just gonna have to wait it out .

You're right. Just now, the correct location and current weather update magically reappeared after nearly a week.

Problem with Widgetsoid on Android

So I`m new here and if my thread is not on the right place - sorry. And here it is my problem:
I`m using Widgetsoid Switcher Widget and have this very annoying problem that when i turn on something it not works (For example: I turn on my data service, widget indicates that it`s turned on but actually it's not. If I turned it on from the Settings menu the widget indicates it`s turned on and when I stop it from the widget it doesn`t stop). Same with WiFi and GPS... This thing is freaking me out so if somebody can help me it would be great or if you can tell me other app like that one with options for customization. Thanks in advance
Can`t somebody help me?

Hi,
Try to uninstall, install and reboot directly after install (it's important!).
After go to global preferences and check "Disable all apn"
Create your widgets and it will be ok.
Now everythings is fine but Data Service still doesnt't work... Any ideas?
data toggle help
i had the same problem with the data/3g toggle on my htc evo. what you have to do is go to "settings->wireless & networks->then scroll down and make sure there is a check mark in the "mobile network" setting" in order for the widget to control it the setting must first be enabled. it took me and the dev 3 days to find this out.
also if that doesn't work go into the app itself and as soon as it opens it you should see something at the top that says data toggle mode. make sure that setting is set to "APN toggle" and not "APN rename"
hope this helps. remember to rep if it did
Thanks man
No problem

I had a similar problem today, it looks like the data switch in Widgetsoid places a dash in front of your AccessPoint name in order to block data transfer and removes that dash when you click switch again.
After messing with Widget I was not able to connect to net, I installed, uninstalled, etc, and then I noticed that APN list was empty, I had to add the APN again and restart it, I think (as said above) that you need the data to be ON then do a restart in order for Widgetsoid to properly read the status.
If you're rooted, use the new "root method" to toggle data. It doesn't mess with your APN & it works flawlessly for me. It's the first time I've had a data toggle that actually works.
A simple method
FIX = Settings>Location & Security>Select Device Administrators> *Uncheck Widgetsoid
Uninstalled
Thanks to: mr.noobsalot
I know this is an old thread, but where is the global preferences on version 3.4.1 it doesnt appear when I click apply.
Im using a HTC sensation and ICS.
Thanks

Stay FAR away from Widgetsoid. It can slow a Galaxy S5 down to a Crawl. Your Dialer will not function, Your phone will not respond. Its trying to load your phone with Ads or something and keeps your CPU busy, whether its a dual core or quad doesn't matter. Developer does not respond and does not seem to care. After uninstalling this App, the phone feels "new" again.
I believe this app is some type of Spyware/Malware combo. Why does it need access to my Contacts? Something very fishy and the developer never responds. It's a great Widget when it works but certain things about it don't seem right. Uninstalled!

Wrong date on Always on Display in calendar mode

Hey,
Has anyone encountered an issue where the Always On Display in calendar mode shows the wrong date. Its ok in clock mode? The day in calendar mode is about 5 days ago!
Thanks in advance.
Figured it out. You probably need to tweak the settings in Samsung Calendar. Lock the timezone... started working for me. Then I disabled the app again... so I'll see if it persists even with the app disabled.

Stock Camera App HDR setting

Hi, I have the latest stock firmware installed (12.5.2....) and use the stock camera app (because I like the colours, so I'd rather stick to it, thank you). The only issue I have with it is that every time I close and then re-open it, the HDR setting goes back to "off", even if i have set it to "auto" or "on". The 'AI" remains as I have set it.
Any ideas? Is it supposed to be like that or is this a bug?
Thank you
Seems like a bug with your device because mine stays on. Clear data of camera app and set it up again. Also make sure "Remember Last Mode Used" is set to on.
It happens to me as well, I have to set it to auto almost every time.

Do you have the "Save previous mode" set to 'ON"? This is the only way for mine to keep the HDR setting as I left it.

Question Weather complications not updating

I find that my weather complication on my watch face is not updating even though I have all the settings correct to allow it to do so. I have enabled allow access all times on battery, no optimizing Etc. Has anybody else faced this problem and fixed it successfully? Thank you
check a different watchface.... and see if it's the same
if it is then it's the watchface problem.
a good starting point...to investigate
Thanks I will try that

I read somewhere (Samsung I think) having the weather on your phone set to not optimized and even a weather widget on the home screen will help if not solve the issue. I personally don't use the weather widget but having the weather app on the phone run in the background with full location permissions helps a lot. I don't have location on the watch turned on I let it rely on the phone for that, as I always have my phone with me. (LTE version of the watch 4 non classic, if it matters).
I actually tried all of that but it hasn't worked so far. I'm trying a new watch face and seeing if the update Works through that. Thanks
The Weather tile for me NEVER changes location automatically. It just adds the location I'm at then stays there unless I delete it and readd current location
Same problem, i can't use the weather app, and when it tries to open it on my phone, The Galaxy Wear App just crashes. I think it's because I don't use the weather on my samsung, and maybe even desactive the weather app but not sure about this, that was like 2 years ago
Also have the same problem on the weather app and weather tile, can't find my location.....I don't have samsung smartphone, but I already check and allow location for wearable app, watch 4 plugin on the phone and also check and allow location for weather app on the watch and activate location on it.....µBut nothing to di, I can't update weather.....
Someone have a working solution for this, cause it's really anoying , thisnis one of the integrated feature I can't launch correctly.....
