Hello guys. So i haven't seen a weather widget that is like 4x1 that holds a 4 or 5 day forecast. An example of what im talking about would be to...look at the stock HTC weather widget (the large one) and only take the bottom part of it...with the 4 day forecast OR the take the news and weather application (N1 Genie app) and the bottom part of the weather information. I think this weather widget would sweet.
My reason for this is that i don't really need a clock that takes up the same space and only shows me the current weather. if its hot right now i know its hot There are just so many clock instances and current weather but i would like to see what the future weather would be at a glance when i turn on the screen.
IF there is already an app out there I'm sorry for the request....and please let me know what it is (buy or free).
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY REPLIES!
+1000!!
I've been searching everywhere for something like this!
I couldn't believe that no one has made one yet? It would be the perfect weather app!
Snowstorm will do this for you, it's in the market. There's an option when configuring the 4x1 widget to show days in the widget.
Weather Widgets (yr.no) by Thomware
cool thanks guys ill take a look at them =)
Hi guys.
I have tried many widgets now.
I'm locking after a widget wich show weather AND the time of the location I add.
Many widgets that I have tried shows the weather of the location, but not the time there.
For example, I'm here in Norway and add Miami as location. All the widgets I have tried shows the weather there, but not the time. It shows the time here in Norway.
Is there any widgets wich can do as I explained above? I've been looking for so long and tried soo many apps!
Please help! Thanks

I tried a program called world forecast widget that worked very good, BUT the widgets are to small. The size is only 2x1 and I want 4x2 (or bigger)
Please anyone know about a app for me?
Just wondering what you guys have set as your lockscreen? Im currently using the Clock, as I found the weather app to get annoying after a while, cool for the first few times though
How about you guys?
I'm using the weather lockscreen and I don't think I'll get tired of it any time soon

Anybody figure out if you can make the lockscreen show something other than the current weather?

Well if you click personalize, then weather you can have it show, clocks, friendstream and a few other things

I think he meant if it's possible to show weather forecast on the lockscreen, not just the current weather and temperature when using the weather lockscreen.
I actually meant if its possible to have another city show besides weather keep polling for your current location.
Close enough
And it seems like you can only have your current location displayed.

Probably only when the lockscreen is visible?
If you go into the weather settings, you can tell it which location is your "current" location and that would be the one showing up. I tested this with Paris, France and my other locations are home, work, and mom's cities.

Using the clock one with the really technical looking clock. It's beautiful, but deep down inside I hate it because it means on the lock screen the time is displayed three times. It's in the status bar, it's above the clock widget, and then of course the clock widget itself.
None of the above, don't like lock screen.
I'm using an app called No Lock, which by pass the lock screen and goes straight to home screen.
Im calling BS on being able to change the weather lockscreen to show anything but the current weather... looked and looked, I see no setting. Now I understand you can change the Clock widget on the homescreen to show different widgets, but not the lockscreen.
Somebody please prove me wrong, and give me a step by step....

Appointments on Lock Screen
Instead of showing weather, I would rather have appointments showing on the lock screen so that one can easily know what is the next appointment without unlocking the device (just like s2u2 does it). Any genius knows how to do that?
Can anyone suggest a weather widget, or even know of one, that is JUST the picture/graphic of the weather? I'm going minimal these days with my homescreens and need something to match. Seems every widget has a clock or forecast for the next couple days, etc. I simply want, if its sunny, a sun. If its raining, rain drops etc.. I've seen similiar ones for the moon phases etc, but can't seem to find anything for weather..
Any help? Thanks folks..

Well am not sure this is rom related but if you going into the widget selector and scroll down to weather there are 3 of them in there with 2 small ones.
You don't say if you even bothered to look at the phones selection of widgets.
These are from beautiful widgets. You can turn off the background so all you get is the weather. It's in the market if you want it.

Thank you ^
Going to check it out in a few. Wonder if I can edit that to remove the text(temp, high/low) somehow. Is it simply removing a line of script in the file does anyone know?

BW has an lwp that displays just the weather.

Weather bug has a nice small widget.
As I said with the stock weather widget you get several small ones. This is the smallest on that is available without having to buy anything.
simi clock has a minimal weather widget too.
When I turn my phone on, the lock screen default weather location is wrong and it uses AccuWeather.com you can see.
But, when I unlock the phone and go into my weather widget, it is fine. I use HD Widgets and set it to use WeatherBug.
How can I correct the lock screen weather to report my proper location?
I don't believe there is a way to adjust the location on the lockscreen weather. I have the same issue and so I stopped using the Touchwiz weather widget. It kept telling me I was in the "poor part of town" and well, that just wasn't going to work for a snob like me.
Either AccuWeather has incorrect info or your GPS isn't locking in quick enough for when the app checks for location. I suspect it may be the second, as from my experience, sometimes it would be spot on but most of the time wrong. Once I started using widgets that don't use AccuWeather, I noticed I hadn't had any problems though.

I couldn't find a way, so I wonder if there is a ro0t method? Maybe to tell the system to NOT use AccuWeather.com (I have had issues with them in the past in other widgets).
I don't run GPS unless needed. HD widgets finds me fine without GPS but this lock screen default weather app cannot.
I have 2 GS3's both rooted running cleanrom 2.1. One has the correct weather on the lock screen the other does not. I'm thinking more of a hardware problem due to these phones being set up the same.

not sure how hardware could interfere with weather info. Especially when I have no other issues so likely a hardware issue would manifest in some other area - something bigger then this 1 thing.
I am sure root could fix this if you could alter the file used to run that lock screen weather and tell it to use WeatherBug. Just not sure what file that is.
Did you try going to setting/security/lock screen and clicking on weather? Mine was defaulted to never update location so I set it to every hour
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yes, mine has always been set to 1 hour. The issue is not it updating weather, the issue is it saying I am not where I am at. It is about 40 miles off in a totally different town.

Out of curiousity, when you open Maps, does it give you the correct location?
On my phone, while in the house, it always puts me about three blocks away and then about two - four seconds later, gets me spot on. I assumed it was that delay that was affecting the Touchwiz weather widgets. The few times the stock weather features got my location right I happened to be in different rooms of my house or outside. The SG3 GPS seems to have some issues indoors.
I have noticed that every other weather widget I use displays the correct city right away for me. I switched to using FancyWidget Pro on my homescreen today and I noticed it uses Accuweather and was still correct, but that uses geolocation instead of GPS. I've also had no issues with One More Clock Widget or Simi Clock.
Oddly, aWeather and the stock weather widget and the lockscreen are the ones that give me false locations.
I haven't tried it yet, but I read something where some people were having luck clearning the cache on maps and the weather widget then making sure "verizon location services" isn't checked and it was correcting some location issues. Might be worth a shot.
All I know is I set up mine and the wife's phones the exact same way from a full wipe and hers always gets the weather location wrong for some reason. That's why I believe some hardware might be sub par. I'm at a loss as with this.

I have a similiar thing going on with my Galaxy Tab 10.1. I've done a hard reset back to stock and it will be fine and always have the same city one time, then if I do a hard reset again at another time, it won't get the right city.
I think their software needs some fine tuning.

Maps is perfect for me.
Right now I'm in a different town & the lock screen once again shows me 1 town off. Close but wrong.
HD Widgets... perfect
anyone know which system file controls the use of AccuWeather.com as the lock screen weather company of choice?
anyone?

I too would like to know this, once we know this and a few other pieces of information there might be a chance we could tinker and change the lockscreen weather to use weatherbug or something similar. I bought the 25ยข HD Widgets app today just because it uses weatherbug. And that's the only app that will pull up a weather monitor in my town, aside from WeatherChannel and the local news app, both of which are terrible.
Maddening GPS issues!!
Having similar problem here - but not limited to lockscreen weather. I use the Simi clock+weather widget on my homescreen and though I live in Atlanta it shows me as being in Creedmoor, NC (which I gather is near Raleigh). Also, Foursquare shows me being in Creedmoor on its map, but the check-in locations are in Atlanta and show accurate distances from where I am. Maps works fine and shows my location correctly (more or less). Very frustrating problem. Is it hardware related or software? This all started when I was not having any luck getting a GPS lock and tried various fixes. The lock is there now but the location on some apps is way off.
Just purchased HD widgets, I'll have to check this out.
Guys, those that are having lockscreen weather issues, do you use the default weather widget on your homescreen? The one with clock and weather. I found that if I don't use the weather widget on the home screen then the lockscreen does not update and shows inaccurate info. You have to use it for the lockscreen to work.
I discovered this when I was using beautiful widgets and the lockscreen stopped updating. They both use accuweather but for some reason the widget needs to be active.
Hope this helps some!

On my homescreen I use HD widgets. I have zero intentions of using the stock weather/clock widget just to make the lockscreen weather/location correct. Amazing what we can do to tweak the OS, and yet this cannot be tweaked in a file.
accuweather is the culprit as when I use that in HD widgets it screw up my location, use weatherbug and it is perfect.
EDIT: wait.. I see no "default" system installed weather widget... my only weather widgets are my after-market HD and Beautiful widgets, no such "default weather widget"
HD Widgets gets the correct location for me. The default one from TouchWiz is off by a good distance.

Agreed BUT we are not talking about widgets, we are talking about the fact the lock screen weather is off and it is off as it uses accuweather and you don't seem to have any choice in the matter to pick a different service for the lock screen weather.

I meant the default clock/weather widget. I don't like it cause if the grass and sky. Doesn't match with my theme.
