Did you try to config the zipcode or your location on the widgets yet?

Weather widget works just for US. No other countries avalible.
edit: You can check supported locations at weather.gov
This is the place where weather widget gets information.

International version

Constant "refresh failed" message

I just searched the forum for this but came up empty. I am constantly getting a system message saying "refesh failed". I tried uninstalling some likely apps and disabling auto update on others to no avail. I asssume something is wasting system resources and i would like to correct it. Is anyone else getting this or have an idea of what app or service I should suspect?
Thanks

Same here. No idea what causes it.

In my case it has been caused by the Asus Weather Widget

Same here. Its when, for some reason, the widget isnt able to connect to update. Lose the widget and it goes away.

Same thing here. I can't figure out what makes the widget not be able to update (it happens when I have a great wifi signal), but once it does, it's like the TF decides never to update again -- I'll get the error midday, and by dinner it still has not updated.

So wait, that would mean that its trying to update even when not being used because I'm not even using it and I get the same message. I use Beautiful Weather instead. Are you sure its not something else that's causing it?

Same here. I was getting it when I was using the Asus Widget and still now with the Beautiful Weather Widget.

Place the asus weather widget on your desktop, then open it and from the options put the update frequenzy on manual and delete the widget. After that I havent received any error messages anymore.

I get his message as well. Very annoying, especially when you're reading an ebook. Will remove the weather widget.

tought it was my e-mail account thanks for this

Do you know how to remove the ASUS Weather Widget?

The weather widget was the first thing I took out but I didn't do as you suggest. Will try that now. Thanks

Just long press and then drag to trash can.

That's great, unless you still want an automatically updating weather widget on the desktop. Any ideas on how to keep the widget and fix the error?

Use
I'm guessing it is built into the rom so will have to be rooted to remove it. I'm not rooted yet but I system panel lite and don't see it active in there. Maybe if you put it back, disable all automatic behaviour, and then remove the widget the process will stop.

That seems to have done it. Thanks again.

Es-Task Manager
I experienced this same issue although the culprate for me was ES-Task Manager.

For me it was MyCloud
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App

I still use the weather widget but I disabled the automatic location detection. I just defined it manually. Update is still automatic. No more issues...

I found an alternate calendar widget, and battery widget.
Yep, certainly some apps will need updates.. not complaining.. just trying to make sure it wasn't operator error on my part.
K9 just kicked out an update which fixed issues I was seeing with settings import, so that was super fast.

I had to uninstall Gsam also. It's too bad, I really like that app. Hopefully they will update it for 4.4 I really wish Google would just include the battery percentage in the stock rom,

here the same and switched back to better battery stats to get infos about
wake ups
i read in a nexus 5 review that the reviewer have the same problems and they
think the reason is a changed permission of the function "ACCESS_BATTERY_STATS"
in kitkate.

Anything on Agenda Widget
Has anyone had any luck with Nexus 5 and Agenda Widget? It shows up but has not appointments on it still. I am using the Google widget now, but I really preferred the Agenda Widget

[Q] clock (night time charging)

is there anyway to have the clock show on the screen and use it as a bed side clock when you plug it in to charge ? this was a feature I used quite a bit back on my maxx days ?

I use an app called Gentle Alarm that has a good night clock mode. It can be configured to automatically start when the phone enters charge/dock mode. Not free, but an excellent alarm clock app that gently brings you out of sleep.
Unfortunately, it doesn't get along with the ViperOne(M8) 1.4.1 ROM I'm currently using due to the nav key issue, but I expect that to be resolved within the next 24 hours.

Daydreams can do that I believe, just set it to use Clock.

Daydream mode in your Display & gestures settings will allow that, like sfreemanoh said.
Other clock apps such as Timely will also have it, via Daydream.

If you sideload the clock.apk from stock android, it appears as an option in Daydreams (I prefer it over the HTC clock since it allows you to have multiple timer countdowns going at once). I can upload it for you if you want, just let me know.

Let me know if you can't access it, I haven't shared anything from Drive before.
Also, you may have to (since they're named the same thing in the launcher you may just want to do it anyway) freeze the existing Clock app. I did before loading this one, but I don't know if it was necessary or not.

I use Night Clock by Ned Fox, it's free, customizable, works with every version of Android I've used. It's in the app store.

At a Glance not working properly...

It's not showing the weather...
Just reads for eg, 'Sunday, 22 Dec'
Isn't it followed by the temperature?
Thanks

Try to enable location, or reboot the device.

Thanks but that didn't seem to work.
It works perfectly if I use lawnchair 2 launcher. But I don't wanna use that.

check the google app. goto settings/notifications and then current weather. my was the same as yours and i changed something but don't remember exactly what so that might have been it.

If you could remember the exact steps you took, that'd be of great help.

yeah, i agree. it's frustrating for me that i can't remember things. maybe when you're near 70 you'll have perfect memory, i don't.

Update the google app, if its already updated to latest then join the beta and update, will fix it after reboot

i have been in beta for a while, so that may explain why it worked for me and not the poster in need of solution., maybe.

Thanks a lot guys
OT but
But does anyone know a way to lock screen ( like by double tap) without the power button and without any launcher or rooting.
Thanks

I think it's only possible with those 2 options you mentioned.
I'm using nova so that works

No weather in At a glance.
It sucks

You are not alone. I started having the same problem (occasionally) since the latest system update (December 5, 2019). Plus apps no longer auto-update (never), even when I am on Wi-Fi. None of that was an issue prior to mentioned update.
For weather not showing I suspect app gets "power-optimized".
For app auto-update not working - there are multiple reports for that over the past year for Pixel and other phones with no clear solution. I tried clearing Storage and Cache for Google Play Services but it didn't help.

just checking that you have given google app location permission and location is on.
another thing is i'm also using nova launcher in a very minimal way but that might have something to do with it.
i discovered by searching that it's a pretty common issue. but if it's something you want and you can have it by using a different launcher try out a different launcher for a week, maybe. good luck in finding a solution.

I found the solution. I'm on basic phone launcher ( no launcher installed or rooting done).
Just enable location on and go to your Google account and turn location history on.
Then restart with location turned on.
It's there now.

Found sort of a solution
It isn't the best solution, but it works (at least for me it does). I found that if I put another at a glace widget on another screen (so there are 2 now, one on my home screen, one on another), it works and shows weather on both. If I remove it, the weather goes away again.. Hoping this is some sort of clue to get this fixed permanently.
