I think when you add the widget, you can select your city manually vs GPS?
I can, but it is on the 2nd position and I have to change every time after ulock phone and on the lockscreen I can see only with GPS position

Its a widget....hence why you press and hold on anywhere your screen until the menu comes up and choose 'widget'. It should be within there somewhere

From the description for the app in the Market:
"Simple widget to know active network infos.
Click on network name to open wifi settings
Click on icon to toggle ON/OFF wifi
Warning: this is a widget, you HAVE to add it to your home screen
This version should fix some problems but probably not refreshing one.
Next version should be a complete rewrite.
Latest version: 0.20 (for all Android versions)"
after getting the OTA 3.1 update the weather widget will not refresh to the correct location. GPS and maps show me in the correct place but the widget will not refresh to my current location. It is stuck on the previous city I was in.
Anyone else having this problem?
It only updates every few hours by default. You can change this by clicking on the widget and changing the refresh interval.

I was doing a manual refresh. After doing it about 10 times it finally refreshed. Not sure what the problem was.
Hello,
i own a Desire S. I disabled the Networktraffic, by erasing the APN under settings. I only use the WLAN to access the internet.
Beneath the clock on the home screen there is the Weather information form my Location. This Weather information is changing from sunny to cloudy and so on.
I wonder where the data for this information is comming from. I thought I disabled all Networkconnections. I haven't turn on the WLAN-Connection for 4 or 5 days and the Weather Information is still uptodate.
I don't understand where the Data for the Weather Information is comming from or haven't I turned off the network connections complety?
I installed Stats free and it has 0 KB in the "2G/3G/4G Network"
Can someone explain this to me?
Regards
Felix

when the weather widget receives data it receives data for the next 4 days i think that is the answer to your question
You don't have to delete the APN. Just uncheck(turn off) Mobile Network from quick settings.
And yes, when you update the weather, it receives data for current day and the next 4.
thanks for the answers.
btw, is there a way to delete the weater animation from the homescreen and only keep the digital clock?

Untick Show Full Screen Animation in the weather options.

If you want to want to remove the full screen weather effects then long press and then drag the the clock homescreen widget down to the EDIT, and after selecting the city you'll be able to un-tick the "Show full screen animation" option.
If you want to remove simply the weather from underneath the clock widget then I don't think that this is possible with this HTC widget.
So you'll have to find a different widget, HTC have the one with the weather oor a similar one with Facebook updates....
There are other similar style clock widgets that you'll find in the market without any weather, I think that theres one like this in the Beautiful Widgets (free or lite) set.
Hi,
I hadnt seen this mentioned elsehwhere (apologies if I have missed it). The new location icon in 4.4 seems to only appear if I choose 'high acuracy' or 'device only' in locatin settings It does not appear if I choose 'battery saving'. To me this makes it look like its an indication of GPS being active even though google have said it does not mean this. Can anyone confirm they agree with me?
My second point is that there is now no way to know from a status bar icon if GPS is locked on or not. Having the 4.3 GPS icon flashing when obtaining a lock and solid once locked on was much better. That way I know for sure that GPS is being used and I know for sure when its locked on.
This is required for mapping and navigation apps to know if your location is accurate.
With 4.4 you see a location icon but for all you know the GPS may NOT be locked and your locatoin could be using less accurate wifi/mobile location.
Its another example (like the data upload/download arrows) of google dumbing down the interface and making it less usable. And lets face it, most people understand thet GPS needs a lock, who drives along using a SatNav without waiting for it to lock on!!
Lets hope a CM ROM can give us back something useful.

No one else find this a problem?
Scott
Sorry, I don't have a solution.
I just wanted to mention that I'm having the same problem.
How am I supposed to know that I got an accurate GPS lock if the icon stays the same all the time?
I think google messed up on this part.
The location icon next to the time and such is a GPS icon as it only shows up when GPS is active. If you are doing WIFI or 3G location it doesn't show up and isn't active so if it's there then it's because GPS is being used.

Google documentation says the location icon means your location is being used and it is NOT an indication of just GPS (ie could be gps or wifi/mobile location) however that is clearly wrong as you say. It only seems to appear when GPS wants to be used.
My point is that the icon does seem to only appear when GPS is in use however it does NOT indicate if GPS is locked or not. That is the real problem. we now cannot see when we have a GPS lock.

There're apps that will show you gps lock

Of course there are. But that's no use, we need a GPS locked icon in the status bar. An app is no use because as soon as I switch from the app to Google maps then I still can't see if GPS is locked.
At the moment each individual app would now have to implement some way of showing us in GPS is locked when we used to just rely on the status bar icon.
I would gather it wouldn't be to hard to port over the icon handling from JB. Edits to android.policy, framework-res and systemUI would be needed.
At first I cared about the topic, but the gps on the n5 smokes my previous devices. I obsessed over the gps for about a week after getting the n5. With gps status app I get 13of21 locked in 6 seconds or less all the time. First device I've had where I don't have to coax the gps into working with an app or some conf edit. Took me a couple weeks to learn about being able to long press location quick settings tile to toggle on/off.
good day.
With xposed and gravity mod the GPS lock/nolock icon can be seen when pulling down the tiles so that's pretty good.
I'll look out for an exposed mod that sticks the icon back in the status bar.
Annoying that Google removed it though.
I also don't understand why so much fuss was made by google and the reviewers about the kitkat location settings. They are just the same as JB but named differently, ie WiFi/mobile location is now named something like 'battery saving location'. The end result is still the same options, namely GPS only, WiFi/mobile only, or both GPS and WiFi/mobile.

In fact you can, install the app I pointed and when opening Maps it will show you a gps lock notification.

Hi. I think we are both 50% right. A gps icon is displayed as you say, I wasn't aware of this, however it doesn't seem to alter between a locked/unlocked icon.
You can pull down the status bar to see if its locked though just as you can with the exposed gravity mod.

Hi - I'm also annoyed by this - the best solution I have found so far is to use GPS monitor - it has a statusbar icon which tells you how many sats you are fixed to, and more importantly the icon is red when you don't have a lock and goes green when you do.

Hi!
Just bought the OnePlus 6. A couple of questions..
- Is it not possible to remove the date/weather widget on the home screen? Or atleast change the weather provider?
- When swiping down from top where you turn on and off wifi, bluetooth and so on, is it not possible to show the names of the different settings? They only show when you swipe further down.
Hope someone can clarify!
1st
Yes you can remove weather widget from homescreen long press weather widget then remove appear on top of screen drag widget to remove.
2nd
Top area where wifi wifi & Bluetooth turn on & off is called quick settings
You can only add those tiles in quick setting which available by app developers or device manufacturer if you want to add more tiles root your device & maybe xpose & magisk module available for tiles i am not sure about that.
You can add more tiles to quick settings installing tiles from Google store. So much possibilities. You don't need xpose.
