anyone facing the problem that the widget DOES update but the number displayed on the homescreen is not very accurate, its the older weather, once you clock on the widget and takes you to the app, i see that the weather is different
as in the number on the widget does not get refreshed/updated however in the app it does.

Im pretty sure you can pin your location. I dont know if you can add the name of your city but if you go to your applications, weather, menu, Add, there should be an option at the top that says "My Location", it will pull up GMaps and you can put the pin on your location.
EDIT: After you pin your location and press done, it will allow you to name the location.
i did pin the location and it works for the weather widget but the pinned location doesn't shot up for the clock widget when it says select location

Sorry, dont think there is a way to have the little words under the clock say the location you created.
that is not the issue, the issue is that the clock just shows up with no weather at all because the pinned locaiton is not in the list of selecting location for when you add the clock widget unlike with the weather widget

It should show up with weather, if it does not, did you try refreshing weather and allowing the clock time to display?
yes, but the issue is that i cant select the pinned locaiton when i add the clock widget, it only says use current, or select new and the pinned locaiton isnt in either
Hi,
Do you know any weather app that does not have running service?
Yes, weather forecast app that can pull data "manually" ...
No need periodic / interval update ...
Widget is not necessary either ...
Moved to Q&A BW, Fancy widget, and even the default news and weather app has this I believe
Most have these "features" and I don't really like that either. I've noticed that most of them will let you change the frequency that they pull info. Some down to 12 hours.
Fancy widget has lots of refresh options. One of them being to only refresh weather manually.
Thanks for all the suggestions. At the end, I ended up with (again) Beautiful Widget 1x1 (I already bought this when I use HTC Desire).
The reason that I want to find this kind of weather app, because I want to limit the number of running (background) services.
So, I replaced the Beautiful Widget Home widget with "simiClock" because it is simple, elegant and uses black background (save battery life).
simiClock has weather info as well ... But it does not have forecast.
That's why I was looking for weather app which can be activated (launched) when I press the simiClock weather.
But, it seems I cannot find one ... The one with update/interval can be controlled (I am not weather obsessive guy, so manual update is the best for me).
At the end, I am back with Beautiful widget weather 1x1 ... until I found a nice weather forecast app to launch from simiClock
I purchased the Weatherbug Elite. It has the options to turn off the background processing and only grab weather data when you run the app.
it's unfortunate, but i'm running into the same situation
i want to disable the back ground processing of the weather app that i like, but the app doesn't have such a feature/option
the app is supplied directly from The Weather Network, and it's very accurate, all the other apps that i've tried before are not so great
Try WeatherPro, best weather app imo
try Fancy widget... you'll love it! great app
Moxier World is by far the best I've found.
It updates either automatically or manually.
It also shows local time and weather in as many world locations as you need. It has 5 days forecast for each.

it has a background process
yes, it is nice, it's what i'm using
Try this out. It has an option to set update interval (or disable update entirely)
Hi all
Is there a chance to change the weatherwidget from accuweather to i.e google?
My city isn´t listed by accuweather but the widget look is so nice.

Hmm that title is a little misleading... LOL
Ya the stock widget is kool, but I don't remember being able to change where the data is pulled, I always had to download another app/widget.
Is a widget that will replace the defaulf widget? Perhaps one with some animation?
Similar problem here, bro.
My city is listed, but with Accuweather the temperature shown is WAY off - always 8-15 degrees below the real one.
Google would be perfect, but the widget is not that configurable
SPOILER: Google gets it from weather.com, google has no weather information service.
Hi,
Is it possible somehow to set the interval between refresh of the yahoo weather widget.
If not, do you know thé default interval ?
