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.
any fixes for this?
OK, where to start. I've been searching forums and the internet in general trying to find a way to mix and match Fancy widget & Beautiful Widgets to get the desired effect I'm looking for.
I've been trying endlessly to find a way to get Fancy widget to open up Beautiful Widgets Forecast when I touch the weather icon and there seems to be no easy way to do this (if it can be done at all).
Now, I must say I have tried Fancy Widget, Beautiful Widgets and Weather & Toggle Widget and so far I love the look of Fancy Widget, love the look of Beautiful Widgets Forecast and didn't like Weather & Toggle Widget at all.
I have noticed that the Forecast app/add-on does appear in my Recent apps when I long press Home; so I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me figure out a way to get Fancy Widget to see it as an app when choosing an app to open when touching the weather icon.
Also, Beautiful Widgets by default brings up the Alarms section of the Clock app but I can only get Fancy Widget to bring up the Clock app instead of directly bringing up the Alarms section. If anyone knows a way to achieve this also, I'd greatly appreciate it.
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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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)
Pretty self explanatory. Some Roms incorporate clock (chronus) 's weather widget into the lockscreeb. But while the full widget can also show calendar events, the lockscreen cannot.
I think it will be wonderful to also show events.
Thanks.
Hm, I dont know if I understand you correctly, but do you know Calendar Notify Agenda Status? It´s a small App that supports to show calendar events at the lockscreen, I use it since I´ve found it!
Hi,
I have a very strange problem with an S6: The built-in weather widget was accidentally deleted from the home screen and when I tried to restore it, it was nowhere to find in the widget list! All other widgets are there (clocks, alarm, bloatware) but no weather (yes, I scrolled to the last page). On a different phone running the same Marshmallow version (though an S7), it's right there in the widget list, simply called "weather".
The built-in weather app ("weather forecast") is still there and can be launched from the app menu, so it's not deleted or something (it can't be deleted anyway, since it's a system app), it's just not showing the widget in the widget list. I tried to reset touchwiz (clear data) and it restored the factory home screen - containing the weather widget! Still it doesn't show up in the widget list .. Also that's a bad solution because the factory home screen uses the 4-tile weather widget including a clock, but I want the 2-tile version, which has to be selected from the widget list. What else can I try to restore this widget except a complete factory reset (which I really want to avoid)?
