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.

Weather Widget doesn't auto-refresh

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?

Location icon constantly in status bar on Lollipop ?

Is it normal for the GPS status icon to always be present in the right side of the status bar on Lollipop (V5.02)?
Location is enabled and is set to high accuracy. No apps are running (or present in the recent apps list) that make constant use of the GPS (IE: Maps).
I'm curious if this is normal behavior on this device. I have 3 other devices to compare to that have the same apps and location settings :
- Galaxy S3 -- Icon is always present when location is enabled (Android 4.4)
- Nexus 5 -- Icon only appears when an app requests use of the GPS (Android 5.1.1)
- Nexus 9 -- Icon only appears when an app requests use of the GPS (Android 5.1.1)

It does not turn off automatically unless you are running an app to do so. My battery saver app lets you specify a list of apps that need gps...when I run the app it turns on gps...when the app exits it turns gps off. There is also a free version of it..search for "Greeenpower"...it does require root for an app to toggle gps under lollipop.

Thanks for the reply but I didn't think that applied to Android V4.x and UP.
You are supposed to be able to keep your location toggle set on ON all the time and Android is supposed to only enable it when an app requests it.. I can clearly see this behaviour on both my Nexus devices running lollipop.
Since this phone is as close to stock android as I've ever seen I'm wondering if anyone else is observing the same behaviour I am or if else might be keeping it forced on unknowingly.

Well no offense but yours must be magic then cause I own both a nexus 4 and 5 and the gps doesn't turn off unless you or an app turns it off...same with bluetooth and wifi for that matter.

I don't think he means it turns off in the settings. But the location active icon in the status bar only comes on when an app is actively using it. My nexus 4 does this. The idol the icon is always there.
IMO, its probably just a software GUI change that Alcatel did. Unless it is draining the battery more than usual.

Non taken .. LOL..
Bluetooth and Wifi, when on do constantly show up on my nexus devices..
Location icon however, on stock lollipop will only appear when the GPS actually is in use. IE: It will appear when I load up google maps and disappear when I turn it off (on stock 5.1.1 on nexus 5 and 9).
I thought this was a feature baked into lollipop which is why I was asking. But from I'm hearing it's not.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply.. much appreciated.
BTW:
Looks like it's default behavior on at least one other device:

Maybe there is a secret Chinese system app that is continually tracking you with location? Haha

I was concerned about this too, and looked into it, I can 100% confirm that it's a software change. On the stock Idol 3 ROM, the location icon in the task bar merely shows that location is on, NOT THAT GPS is active.
If you're skeptical, download a GPS monitor app (some available without root, better ones available with root). You can confirm for yourself that the GPS monitor pings each and every time you use a location-based app (map, weather, etc), but not otherwise, even though the location icon is on.

It's constantly on for my Idol 3, but not my Moto X with CM 12.1.

A fix for this problem, if you have Xposed installed:

Very nice! Thanks for creating the module! Out of curiosity do you get the popup every time you install an app or module to select whether to install to internal, external or let the system decide?

Yes, I do. If I remember correctly, this started to happen around the time of the last update from Alcatel?

Thanks for the reply. Nice to know it's not just MY phone. On my 6045i it's been happening quite a while if not from the beginning but it's very annoying as I have not yet found a way to disable it. Even running "pm set-install-location" from a shell doesn't stop the popup. Normally the setting would be under settings, apps or settings, storage but doesn't appear to be.

I'd compare this to some manufacturers adding an NFC icon. They think the user wants to know (all the time) if a setting is on or off.

the icon appears for me always; even after I turn location OFF in the settings...

so is it a bug or is it on purpose?
i've noticed if you turn off the location and then back on, the icon doesn't show up until something does request location, but then after that the icon stays there forever
ps. i'm glad i found this thread i thought i was going crazy

Thanks for the module.

Please, could you suggest an app for GPS monitoring? I'm on a Xperia M4 Aqua Android 5.0.2 and facing the same problem. It's driving me crazy...

Nokia 3 clock

Hello guys. Anyone with a Nokia 3 noticed the stock clock stoping randomly? Hapenned to my twice and didn't woke up because the alarm didn't worked. I changed the automatic hour setting but even so it stoped. Any ideas? Thanks

No problems with alarm but I've noticed that. I hope it is fixed on 7.1.1. The clock on status bar, the one on the notification bar and the one on the lock screen sometime doesn't sync. Or to be precise as you said, the ones on status and notification bars stop.

I'm also hoping 7.1.1 will fix this
I had to remove the status bar clock because of that

It isn't fixed by far as far as my issue goes. Does anyone have this weird manifestation ?

I'm having the same issue, happening on 2 different Nokia 3, both on 7.1.1.
Missed my alarm multiple times now, this is a really annoying issue.

Only on the lock screen works as it should. Maybe it is cause we enabled system ui tuner ?

I did reset my system ui, and disabled dev options.
Also, i was having a chat with Nokia supportm they suggested these steps:
Can you please go to Settings -> Date and time and check if it is set to Automatic date and time and Automatic time zone?
Also, can you please go to Settings -> Apps -> Clock -> Storage -> Clear cache data
So, you can also go to Settings -> Apps -> Clock -> Disable, restart and Enable it again (after you cleared the Cache data)

No idea if it fixed the issue, but i'll post it as reference here, maybe it's useful to somebody.

Will try that second part of the fix if the issue reaccures

Try to update clock from PlayStore.

I have the same issue, missed 1h of work because of it, boss called me why I haven't shown up at work...
I'm going to switch to gps time update instead of network, I'll check if that "fixes" the problem.

Factory resetted my phone after another session with nokia support, after the previously mentioned staps did not yield the results i wished for.
For the moment, it is working again, let's see if it stays that way.

This should not be related to gps/network settings, it is the time that is bugged out on status bar and notification shade. The one on the lock screen works perfectly. So it comes to desynchronization between them. As soon as you turn off the clock/or set to shows the seconds in the system ui tuner the time is right on with the pace, in other words works fine. This is the "clue" for me to blame the system ui. Try the show the seconds method as a fix, but this should not be tolerated for the Nokia/Hmd.

I never had this kind of problem, it syncronyses perfectly.

Maybe you did not set to automatic date and time

Hold finger on gear(pull down the notification shade to find it) for a few seconds until it rotates after you release it. Then go to settings all the way down to system ui tuner then to status bar, find clock and here you can select default (h and m) disable, and option for (h m and seconds).

If the problem still is.. On Nokia 5 we have this "Battery optimization" feature which doesn't allow apps to sync very often. If there is such a feature on Nokia 3, try turning it off on Clock app or anything that could be causing it. Maybe it will work.

This isn't related to clock app, it's due to systems clock calculation. I've even disabled clock app and the time would still operate but after a while it stops.
I must say after October update to 7.1.1 this issue no longer persists.

Problem with location and time

Hi
I got a strange problem yesterday
Suddenly the time changes in the phone
also the city temperature and time

https://gulf-up.com/02-2018/1519795363022.png
I'm from Saudi Arabia
Our time is GMT +3
When I choose automatic time zone
its change to Greenwich Mean Time , and our time is GMT +3
even the weather is wrong showing -2 in its 20 and also showing 2 city's!!
you can see the photos
right Now
I have turned off automatic time zone
please help

Hi
The way I've resolved my issue, was that I disabled my weather in my app which caused it to have a knock on effect to the time zone issue.
So I renabled it and it worked...
Check your disabled apps, you might have disabled it accidentally

Is your Location set to High Accuracy?

Having exactly the same problem since yesterday. I turned off travel mode which seemed to fix the issue on my home screen but it still seems to affect the lock screen, however it's not all the time.

we have same problem

I don't use blink feed so can't comment there. No HTC apps have updated recently though as far as I'm aware, so it can't be an update problem.
