Next to the Google search shortcut on your main home screen, my Pixel shows date and day. I see others shows weather. How to change that?
You need to go to google now and set it to keep updating you on weather conditions:
1. Swipe to the utmost right on home screen to reach google now (now called Feed, whatever...)
2. Swipe right once again to access the "hamburger" menu
3. Choose customise, then Everything else
4. Choose Yes for the following options:
Interested in weather updates for home?Interested in weather updates for work?Interested in weather updates for your location?Continue to get weather updates?
This will make the weather card visible in the Feed which will automatically make the homescreen widget display the weather info
I did all that but still doesn't show up. It worked before but since I factory reset the phone it doesn't show up any more. Any advise?
Does the weather card appear on the feed though? Ou need to make it appear on the feed first. There's a switch in the Feed settings about weather, maybe that's turned off in your phone?
I've got everything on, and it's showing in the feed, But not on my home screen

In my case, turning those options on (I had them off) instantly enabled the weather in the homescreen. Have you tried a restart after setting those options to yes?

You need to update the Pixel Launcher. I had to update it via a PC as it was not working on the play store on my phone.
Installed it on my phone through the PC and it updated the weather within seconds.

Oh yeah, good shout! I updated mine too
Update through Play store on internet, pushing it again to the pixel phone triggered the update on the pixel
Thnx all
I updated all those except for location at home & work (those just seem repetitive with "my location" marked as yes) & it showed up for me.

For me it automatically shows me. Just swipe out the notifications which are not important for you. For example it tells me traffic to home notification and when I swipe it starts showing weather after few min.

Turn off google now and then turn it on... it'll display weather in notifications
For me, it started showing up only after I asked it what the weather was going to be like. Now the weather is in my notification tray automatically. I think same goes for sports and traffic when you leave your home.

Press the "Search" shortcut to launch Google Now, then go in the parameters of the app via "Menu", choose "Google Noew" and there is a "On/Off" or "Yes/No" switch in the upper right corner (in the "title bar").
It solved right now ?
I just solved it

Has anyone figured out how to get the Google current weather to show up as a notification on the Lollipop lockscreen? I would like to see it there on top all the time.

In google now options activate weather for your location. Then on lock screen pull down as if expanding notifications and it should pop up.
Good luck.
In Google Now, "Interested in weather updates for your location?" is set to Yes. On the lockscreen, there is nothing to pull down. The clock and date are in the center of the lockscreen and when I swip down, they just pulsate once.

Sorry bare with me. I managed to get it there but once swiped away it disappeared. Think it must have just been a notification thing. Sorry. I use beautiful widgets from play store for mine. I know its not what your after but its an alternative.
I just got it once here also. I tapped on it and it opened Google Now. Now it is gone from the lockscreen again. I guess once it is there...you can't tap it. I used Beautiful Widgets before and also DashClock but the weather was different with those since they don't use the same provider as Google Now. It was a notification that I had since Lollipop doesn't support lockscreen widgets that I know of.
How are you keeping the Beautiful Widgets on your lockscreen? Is it a notification?
Google now weather
I have also experienced the disappearing Google Now 'current weather' notification in lockscreen on both my nexus 5 devices. It showed up on the lockscreen one time after pulling down on the time but after unlocking my screen and relocking the device i have never been able to replicate the weather notification
The notification has come back on mine. If you swipe it away or reboot your phone, it seems to come back sometime within the next hour or so.
I use 1weather it's good for me
I've been running CM12 for a while now and the only thing I dislike about Lolipop is the lock screen. I really miss widgets and apps on my lock screen. I installed C Locker (Pro) which I had used on a different phone running KK and it works much better now on Lolipop. It is very customizable, I am using transparent clock/weather widget, calendar widget (Scrollable) and a number of app shortcuts. The only gotcha was I had to delete the Android guest account otherwise when I would unlock it would go to the Lolipop lock screen. You can setup up a lot of gesture actions, and click on the lock button turns the phone back off. Mine is probably gaudy and way too colorful for most but that's how I like it

I couldn't remember exactly so I went through it again
1- Switch user to the guest user in settings (have to go through initial setup for the guest user, I skipped everything I could in the setup process)
2- then go to back into the users in settings
3- instead of choosing your main user account to switch back to, select "remove Guest"
At this point, it switched me back to my original user, but the touch screen is not responsive
Pull battery and replace
once rebooted, go into C Locker, turn it off and then back on.
Then everything works fine.
The guest user will still show up in users, I guess it recreates it.
Hope this helps...

Thanks a lot for your quick reply but i found another way to disable it In Clocker ->Security->turn off default lock screen.. and you are done with it. But in this case you will miss out those beautiful floating notifications on lock screen.

Nice!
Hey everyone,
I've just picked up my new Pixel 2 today and it's great but...the At A Glance widget doesn't seem do anything except show my calendar. Long press doesn't do anything and there is no options for it in the home settings.
Any suggestions?
Edit: ignore this. I've just had updated my apps and it now seems to be fine
I'm having an issue as well. It is only displaying the day, month, and weather. I have things on my calendar but it never displays them. My appointments will show up in the notification bar but not on the home screen. Any ideas?
I've already long pressed and made sure my calendar events were enabled.

I'm having the same issue on on Pixel 2XL
I think what worked for me was allowing Google Now access to my upcoming events and location info. If you go to the Google Now screen and play around with the settings there it should work.
So I added a test event in the calendar app and it worked. So am I to assume that only events created within the app will show?
I contacted support and they verified my theory. It will only display events created within the app. If it gets added via the web or any other means, it will not show.
So, if a colleague creates an appointment and invites me as guest, the event is shown in my calender (as usual) but At-A-Glance won't show it??
And how do you toggle the weather to be shown or not to be shown? Long press only offers me calendar events and traffic info.

Regarding the weather. Try going to your google now feed and hitting the 3 dots in the top right corner. Then look for "customize feed" and hit that. Then scroll down and under "weather" hit "view all settings". Then where it says "weather updates for your location" turn it on. If it is already on, turn it off then back on. Now go back to your google now feed and pull down to refresh the feed. Now go back to your home screen and you should see the weather. As far as turning it off I think you can just turn off the "weather updates for your location" setting but I think you need to reboot to make the weather disappear.

That's dumb. I rarely if ever create an appointment from my phone. I usually do it from the web on my desktop. It should read from your Google Calendar regardless of where you enter it from.

My at a glance widget displays events added via the web, not just created within the app. It only displays the events starting shortly before the event. However, the widget appears to behave differently for different people.
Support is not the most reliable source of information.
I had this issue with my brand new Pixel 2, But I fixed it. To fix it first go to the Google app page in setting then go to the storage, manage space and then clear all data. After disable it enable it and it should start work.
So I have a daily recurring event set up to remind me to do something every day. In the morning when the notification pops up I always just dismiss it. What's weird is that on the ambient display, the event still shows until the event time has passed (8am). It shows even after I've dismissed the reminder. I have no idea why this is happening. Any thoughts?
I noticed this last night. I believe you can long press on the Date/Weather widget > preferences > uncheck the option(s). I just changed mine this morning so I can't confirm but I think that'll change it.
i'm not sure which widget you're referring to. i don't have any on my home screen.

It's the default date and weather widget on the default pixel launcher at the top of the home screen.

Correct, guessing you can access the setting somewhere else but that is the only place I am familiar with.
You can get to that sub menu from the main launcher settings too. And if you're using a 3rd party launcher, you'd have to temporarily change your launcher back to stock pixel launcher to get to those settings
